How to unlock the Archery Expert achievement in Far Cry New Dawn - Definitive Guide

The epic bow for this is called 'Lucky Shot'. You will not be able to craft the bow until you upgraded Prosperity to Level 3 - this will be pretty late in the game.

Initially, I had problems with this and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Even though I thought I had enough distance between myself and the target I couldn't get the achievement to pop. PowerPyx made another awesome video showcasing exactly how this is done without too much of a hassle.

Followed the video instructions below and finally got it to pop after a few failed attempts.

In general play I found it easier to stumble across a scavenger who is too busy looting to notice you. The distance to him automatically comes up and you can back up to 100m and use the lucky shot bow for a relatively easy kill.

This is ridiculous. The bow and arrow is not even close to being accurate. The range finder is way off.

The range finder on the binoculars is useless. I finally got it on a guy "500m" away using the 120m dot on the sight.

No smart ass comment. Just that it finally popped at 138 metres after many kills at 100-120 metres.

Even with the "Lucky Shot" bow, at 100 + m it is very hard to take aim accurately. But I just kept shooting as close to the target as I could and eventually an arrow hit home. I guess that is why it is called the "Lucky Shot" bow.

For this achievement all I did was use the first tier bow but if you want to use a higher tier that's fine also but what I did was I found one of those looter enemies that loot the dead bodies and I moved far back and til I hit and killed him while he was looting a dead body

To unlock the Archery Expert trophy in Far Cry New Dawn, you will first want to craft the Lucky Shot Compound Bow -- you will need to upgrade the Workbench at Prosperity to level three in order to craft it.

Once you have crafted the Lucky Shot Compound Bow, it has a sight that will allow you to aim for over 100m and account for arrow drop.

To any outpost or location where there are lots of enemies that are preferably stood still (the video below uses Bullet Farm), set a waypoint so that you can gauge when you are 100m away, use the sight to set the distance and fire a basic arrow to kill them.

To get this trophy you need to find an enemy and climb a mountain not far away and aim as high as possible for his head and the higher the higher the chance of hitting his head, and of course if you hit his head it’s instant death.

Video for those who don’t want to spend a long time searching where and how.

The dependence is not “the higher you aim, the greater the chance of hitting the head,” but directly on the distance. Some bows (like the legendary ones) have markings that indicate how to deflect the sight in order to hit the target at a distance of up to 120m.

I made it with a level 3 bow (not legendary). Let's take it a little higher, ballistics!!!

You need a legendary bow (black, modern) that will have distance hints on it. Next, we load any outpost. Through binoculars we find the victim in a more comfortable position, place a mark under his feet (still through binoculars), it will show the exact distance to the target. We adjust for the distance and shoot.

I don’t know exactly how this trophy works, but I got it 10 times. I killed more than 100 meters but they didn’t give me the achievement, only after I killed a third-level enemy at a third-level outpost, the achievement still came out
