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

There are 50 perks all together in Far Cry 5 so to unlock the achievement you need to purchase 25 of these. Completing challenges is a good way to get perks but also make sure to complete each Prepper Stash area you come across because there are normally 3 perk magazines in each of them which is a quick 3 perk points for minimal work. Also playing in the arcade mode unlocks perk points when you level up. There are also random perk magazines left lying around such as the bunker out back in Rae-Rae's Pumpkin Farm so make sure to keep in eye out when in garages and bunkers for the occasional perk magazine!

Might be worth mentioning that if you start the new game+ mode, the progress for this will be deleted and you’ll have to buy another 25 once you start 👍

Playing from GamePass on XBox Series X, this is a very simple achievement via normal gameplay, no unlocking issues.

I got this by the time I was ready to move out my first (John's) area.

You can earn perk points through Challenges, Prepper Stashes, Perk Magazines and the Arcade Mode. You need a total of 292 perk points for ALL upgrades. In this solution I will show how you can easily get most of them.

In the challenges, you should only do the simple ones like kill xx with weapon x or fly 5000 meter with the wingsuit (achievement) BUT you should during your playthrough attention to the Hunting and Fishingsection in the challenges because there is an achievement for all of them.
Far Cry 5Been There, Done ThatThe Been There, Done That achievement in Far Cry 5 worth 46 pointsComplete all Hunting & Fishing Challenges (Campaign only).

Another way to earn a lot of perk points are Prepper Stashes. Prepper Stashes are small treasure hunts. Prepper Stashes are marked on your map with a green diamant after you know the location. You can find a prepper stash by yourself or by talking with people who also has a green diamond over his head. For three completed Prepper Stashes you will earn an achievement too (In this solution are all 28 Prepper Stashes locations / solutions with over 80! Perk Points)
Far Cry 5ScavengerThe Scavenger achievement in Far Cry 5 worth 11 pointsFollow the clues to the end of 3 treasure hunts (Solo Campaign only).

As you discover the world of Far Cry 5, you may notice there are Perk Magazines in the open world. Each Perk Magazines grants you one Perk Point. I create a video for each region with a lot of locations. If you collect all Perk magazines from the videos, you will earn another 77 Perk Points.

Jacob's Region - 20 Perk Points

Faith's Region - 32 Perk Points

John's Region - 25 Perk Points

Together with all Prepper Stashes (81) and the Magazines (77) you have already 158 Perk Points and with the Hunting / Fishing / easy Perk Points from the Challenges you should more as enough perk points to get this achievement.

PS: It is possible to get all perk upgrades.

To purchase a perk, you’ll first need to unlock perk points by completing any of the challenges and their multiple tiers. Once you have enough, head over to the perks page to see what’s available. There’s a total of 50 perks to choose from, so this means you need to unlock 25 of them. Each perk varies on its perk point cost and some can only be unlocked after you complete certain missions or buying the previous related perk.

You can go about this how you like. So you can find the cheapest 25 and unlock them or you can buy the 25 you want for your playthrough but this obviously may end up being more costly in perk points. Either way, you’ll naturally complete challenges as you play or you can simply check the list to boost you perk point count.

There are a total of 50 perks in the game; you need only 25 for the trophy. You acquire perk points by completing challenges, certain quests, finding perk magazines, pepper stashes and from leveling up in Arcade mode. If you focus on the cheapest perks, this will come quickly; there are easily enough perk points in the game so I recommend unlocking whatever suits your play-style (don't get the Guns for Hire perks, as they are almost useless). If you are in need of more points, go find Pepper Stashes. They don't take long to complete and award 3 points each. I completed 20 of these and completed most challenges and had most perks unlocked by the end of my game.

On your way to platinum, you will have unlocked more than half of the skills by the end.
But if you want to go faster, then search the caches (diamond icon), they contain magazines with skill points and money and complete the tests that are located on the tests tab. For each test you get 1-3 points.
There are 50 skills in total, you need to open 25 accordingly.

Glitchy trophy. It will no longer appear if you started a new game+ before receiving the trophy - the trophy progress counter freezes and nothing can be done.

The trophy is not glitchy. The fact is that after the start of the New Game+, skills can be improved. For example: bags for different types of cartridges and a backpack. They can be improved 50 times for 1 skill point, therefore, after the start of H+, their improvements must also be taken into account.
That is, you need to upgrade the percentage not from 50 skills, but from 150+
As for me, the easiest way is to invest 1 point into an improvement, rather than 4+ to open a new one.
After the start, H+ probably spent only 20 points on improvement, simply taking magazines from bunkers and the trophy fell out.
