How to unlock the Silent Death achievement in Far Cry 5 - Definitive Guide

The tutorials that appear right before you grab your gear are informative to this achievement. You can read them later in the pause menu or read about it here so don't worry about missing them.

This works like a kill streak. You have to kill 4 enemies in a row without being detected. This includes putting enemies on alert without having them see you. Any stealth kill will work so I recommend finding silenced weapons that are scattered along the route. Throwing knives are also good but often Chain Take Downs are the way to go.

Your streak is lost when you die or when you are detected. Each step in the streak gets you a perk activated. The first one is quicker movement when crouched. To see how many steps you've done in the chain, checkout the 4 circles above your crouch symbol in the bottom right of the screen.

It's fully cumulative so if you kill 5 guys in a row so it IS possible to do this in only 29 kills. However everytime the streak resets it will require another 4 to build it back up.

Does this have to be done in 1 single playthrough? For some reason, I'm stuck at 88% and it won't go up on my 2nd playthrough, on Action Movie difficulty.

Yes, it seems like it has to be in one playthrough. Mine wasn’t going up at fist in my Action Movie playthrough but once I passed that percentage it started going up again.

So, after lots of testing, I had to do all 25 in the same playthrough for it to count.

So I am stuck at 96% and have no idea why. Have all 4 perks, crouched and doing stealth kills but it won't count any of them. Still on my first play though and saving and closing the game has done nothing. Any ideas?

i found this achievement really easy to get... when the you get to the first part i stealth killed the first 4 enemies, the first village i just called in air strike's. after i did it i collected the bow that was at the village
cleared the big rock gun first and went counter clock wise
fighter jet wreck
river warehouse
plantation house
lighter up the hill
just have to be carefully of random platoon's roaming around and helicopters
takedown plus throwing an object makes it a lot more easier

It's worth noting that guys respawn at certain locations such as the one at the north part of the map where you find the first lighter. There will be burning woods, a downed chopper, and a pilot. 3 guys are here. I killed them twice now and as I was coming through again they respawned once more.

With me it also hangs. I don't know if you have to achieve the unnoticed kills without interrupting
must.

I was in my first play through and about halfway through this achievement and got spotted. I tried quitting out to see if that would stop it from resetting and the achievement ticker kept going even though my streak had been broken. I was able to continue all the way and get the achievement. So quitting before it saves might stop the streak from resetting.

Is using airstrikes considered part of that achievement's progress?

I'm having a trouble with this achievement, i died during my playthrough so i lost the 4 tokens and i have regained the 4 tokens but however the achievement percentage is not going up when i get a stealth kill, do i need to kill another 25 enemies or should it be unlocking?

as tricky as it sounds, getting 29 stealth kills in a row is pretty easy. i got this right at the start of the game, you'll be able to get the 4 kills to start the streak with the 2 groups of 2 right at the beginning, from then you can get 25 stealth kills

moving a bit forward, you'll get a pop up saying a commander is nearby, he is inside a building with 4 soldiers surrounding him, if you lure out the soldiers throwing rocks and take them out 1 by 1, the commander will flee but don't worry about him. this will trigger a good few soldiers to converge on the building in small groups, make use of the binoculars to scout and track the movement. use rocks to distract them if needed and continue to take them out

took me max 25/30 minutes

- Once you get 4 stealth kills in-a-row you will have all 4 tokens active.

- Every kill after that (as long as you stay unnoticed) will count toward the achievement

- You can try to get all 25 in-a-row but if you do get noticed just get 4 more stealth kills and every one after that will continue to progress your cheevo

- Making noise is okay too, like you can shoot an enemy to death with an unsilenced weapon and turn around and quickly shoot his homie and you will still be in stealth so don't think you have to be completely quite

This achievement is missable and must be done over of the course of a single playthrough.

At the start of Hours of Darkness, you will be informed about survival instinct tokens. In short, each stealth kill will yield one token (perk): Adrenaline, Ghost, Sixth Sense, and Predator. These perks can be lost at any time once stealth has been broken and you are spotted by the enemy. Luckily, each token will be visible on the left-hand side of your HUD so that you can be aware once you have earned all four.

For the purposes of this achievement, it is in your best interest to play through the add-on (in at least one of your three playthroughs) as stealthily as possible so that you don't have to worry about earning and losing your tokens time and time again. If you manage to find silenced weapons in the jungle, then those will be your go-to means of eliminating enemies quietly; otherwise you will have to focus on throwing knives and traditional stealth takedowns.

Missable!

Survival instinct tokens are introduced to you right at the start. To have all 4 active, you need to perform 4 consecutive stealth kills without being detected, then all 4 tokens will be illuminated on your HUD as per the screenshot below. You have to kill 25 enemies with all 4 active. They don't have to be consecutive kills; you can lose and re-gain your tokens without issue.

The entire DLC has an emphasis on stealth gameplay so provided you are actively stealth killing enemies you come across then you won't have issues unlocking this. Outposts and commanders have several enemies around, and kills with throwing knives and arrows also count towards this.

After you quietly kill 4 enemies, 4 perks are activated, these are the necessary tokens. With 4 perks active, you need to kill 25 more enemies using stealth, the trophy is cumulative (in one playthrough), but if you are discovered, then all the perks are reset and you need to get them again in order to continue making stealth kills for the trophy.

Silent kills also include kills with a bow and weapons with a silencer; it is not necessary to sneak up on the enemy from behind and kill melee, the main thing is that you are not detected

I would like to add to the hint that the enemy can notice you, but it is important that the token scale (four circles at the bottom right) is not reset. Those. the detection bar can fill up, the main thing is that the tokens do not fall off. As long as they remain, the alarm has not been raised. This happened a couple of times (maybe a glitch), the detection scale filled up completely, I killed an enemy, but the token scale did not fly off, because... there was no one else around. So focus specifically on tokens. Enemy dogs also count.
And yes, if you have a filled scale, do not leave the game under any circumstances. Because it will reset and you will need to fill it out again. Kill at least someone .
