Just Cause 3

After beating the story, you can "re-oppress" any base or town. I didn't know that until after I made this video.

It's worth mentioning that if you die, you won't get the achievement. I just cleared out an entire base with tethers only but died before I destroyed the last object and I didn't get the achievement.

I can confirm that if you die you still get the achievement, just died while doing this military base and still got the achievement. (Note only died once)

I can also confirm that if you die you can go back to the base to continue your progress and still get the achievement. (Also only died once). hxc Frankie perhaps one of the chaos objects was destroyed by AI gunfire or explosives without you noticing? That happened to me once, really pissed me off lol.

Can anyone confirm that this achievement works via the Re-Oppress Option? Did it three times now, no luck...

Confirmed. Works when you re-oppress. It unlocked silently in the background though

Also if you have cleared this base without realizing this was an easy one for the achievement, after comleting the mission "Son of Medici" you can clear bases again!

Ai shooting doesn't matter my rebels completely took out a commander for me

You can die more than once. I died several times destroying everything by tether at Cima Leon: Transmitter and the achievement popped OK.

It looks like u can't tether explosive barrels to destroy objects either. I've done this at two bases and used barrels at which with no achievement.

I've done this several times at several bases, I've died, I've survived, but mainly I've only used the tether. The achievement HAS to be a little glitchy, I know for a fact I've completed this especially after several attempts. I've watched videos and everything trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Long story short, I'm doing it correctly and it's not popping.

Seems like this is happening for some of us.

Could the Bavarium wing suit be messing things up? I have it equipped and I can't get this or the achievement for staying in a vehicle to pop.

xbox4xmas07 I haven't tested this with the Bavarium wingsuit, but I think it would mess up the achievement, due to the weapons on the suit.

I can confirm that the bavarium wingsuit blocks the achievement. You have to do it without using the wingsuit.

This seems glitched. Just did this on the base mentioned above, used nothing but tethers and didn't unlock. Very frustrating.

Tried the base above, didn't work. I have the bavarium wingsuit and I thought it was that. Went to Vis Electra in BAIA and tethered everything (chaos objects, soldiers, cars and a helicopter), melee the generators and it finally popped for me.

Same as some others, never unholstered my weapons and no achievement

If you accidentally throw a grenade in the area but it goes off the cliff and doesn't seem to damage anything, would that still prevent the achievement from unlocking?

I did this on the first four or five bases and only used barrels on one and still don't have the achievement. Any ideas?

I can confirm that the bavarium wingsuit DOES NOT block the achievement. I had it equipped and I just unlocked this. Just make sure you don't ever fire its weapons.

Just cleared a base using only tethers on chaos objects but using bullets to kill soldiers (but not chaos objects) and no achievement. Cleared another base without even firing my gun and got the achievement. Additionally, I died multiple times at each base and destroyed the Satcom dish with the Dionysus PLDS-H.

is falco maxime considered a military base? cause i just did it and the achievement didnt pop up

I have no idea why someone would recommend a base and not tell us where it is, but after much searching I can tell you it's in LACOS.

i wonder if its glitched for some ppl cos iv done this so many time with just tether an no achievement. lots of achievements would not pop for me bet the other night i was hanging from a chopper wonderin what to do next an 6 seemingly random ons poped.... still not this one tho :(

Not popping for me (XBox, Dec 2023). I defeated three separate military bases using _only_ the grapple/tether to destroy the Chaos objects. I did not shoot my guns at all (e.g. I did not shoot at any fuel barrels or any soldiers). That was four days ago .. no cheevo. During that time a few other achievements have popped for me (so I know the achievement process is functioning). But "Without Bullets" not popping.

What's up? I have about a dozen Mods enabled ... is there some Mod that must be disabled to get this cheevo?

Edit: Oops. Finally figured out that the target must be a Base, not merely an Outpost.

I've tried the Centcom technique, and my friend has tried clearing a few bases.

I can confirm you WILL still get it if you die, as I died once. What I've found though is that if you shoot enemy soldiers, it counts as using bullets to clear the base and you WILL NOT get the achievement.

So yes, you can die, no don't shoot anyone or anything. Leave your triggers alone entirely.

While attempting this achievement at Cima Leon: Silo, a tank showed up. So, I tethered to the tank, pulled the driver out and climbed in, with the intent of exiting immediately. While climbing in, the tank fired a SINGLE SHOT into the mountain on the opposite side of the ravine, WITHOUT TOUCHING THE TRIGGER. No achievement for me.

The same tank showed up again during my second attempt, during which I did not enter the vehicle. Achievement success!

I found out this tank can be easily avoided (and should be, to prevent accidental firing). It seemed to target me only if there was a clear line of sight, it fired slowly and its rounds had a weak blast.

Just got this on Espia Alta with tethers, Dionysus PLDS-H and enemy fire. Probably should have done it at an easier base but at least using the Dionysus PLDS-H doesn't negate the achievement. Also, tether-killed the commander helicopter...pretty cool.

Got screwed a few times by the game. If you're like me just keep going, I finally got it in Insula Striate, Costa Sud (SE), Griphon Military base. I used tether and PLDS-H only. There is a commander so I grappled to the chopper and pulled him out, then proceeded to tether kick him to death (twice). I didn't die, and had the bavarium wingsuit (but didn't use it).

Nice worked perfectly! No need to fire a shot the whole time and I even died a few times

Worked for me, happy days!

Worked for me, thx. Died like 5 times, achievement popped.

Just wasted a bunch of time doing this method and it did not unlock for me...used nothing but my tether to get around.

After trying a couple of other options this worked perfect!! Thnx

No luck for me either, does anyone know what causes it to glitch?

Yessss! I tried this in two other areas and for whatever reason it didn't pop. I also died a few times while doing this and got the achievement at the end.

can you also use the eden thunder thing weapon out of the dlc?

Nice call, quick, easy and early.

I cleared out three bases using nothing but tether/melee with no achievement, and this method didn't pop it either :(

Worked perfectly thank you +1

Worked. I died a lot but I got the achievement.
