How to unlock the Legendary Gunsmith achievement in Rise of the Tomb Raider - Definitive Guide

The required chests for this achievement are the big ones that require you to mash cn_X with your piolet. Unlike weapons, documents or prisoners, these collectibles don't have a way to be shown in your map, but there are a few ways to make it easier.

IMPORTANT: Activate the "Legendary Gunsmith" challenge before starting a Cold Darkness run, or this won't unlock.

Use a Master Outfit card so you have all survival instinct skills unlocked.

You'll always find one of these chests at the top of each Chemical Processing tower. That makes three sure ones, so you'll only have to find three more around the level.

IMPORTANT: Entering the third tower is a point of no return, so make sure that you have opened at least 5 chests before doing it, or you'll have to start again.

Besides the three chests from the towers, there are some random chests that spawn around the map. Here are a few examples.

Have at least one card that grants you all the abilities (a Master Outfit, for example) so you can spot the chests easily using your Survival Instinct. Try inside the big buildings (like the one that's above you at the start, or the facilities located southeast and southwest in the map), you'll always find a couple of chests in those.

They all spawn randomly apart from the 3 outside the pump facility, the ones above you said are fixed aren't :/

Ok, corrected. Those four chests spawned for me in the three consecutive runs I played, so I assumed they were fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Having a master outfit is crucial. First run I did I could only find two and I searched everywhere. My second run I equipped a master outfit and I found four in the level.

The "big ones" are Weapons Caches, and they appear on your map as Strongboxes.

I ran around for about an hour trying to find the last of the open world ones and found one super hidden on the far north east side behind a metal door in case anyone has that one spawn, it was a pain trying to find.

Challenge to Select

  • Legendary Gunsmith

Recommended Cards to use:

  • Tomb Raider

Throughout the level Nadia will tell you the locations of pry chests to open, open any 6 to complete the challenge. There always 1 pry chest after you shutdown a tower, so you need to have 5 pry chests open by the time you shutdown the last tower. To open a pry chest keep tapping . Using Survival Instincts will also help you find pry chests because they are randomly placed.

In order for this trophy to unlock, you must pick the challenge first. Pry chests are big chests that require you to tap on to force open the chest. There is 1 chest on top of each of the 3 toxin factories, so you will only need to find 3 in the wild. While there are enough pry chests in the wild to find without having to go up the toxin factories (thanks to Sellers for confirming that), you should keep in mind that there are 3 confirmed pry chests if you don't manage to find enough. Unfortunately you won't receive radio messages for pry chests so you have to spot them yourself. Pry chests in the wild spawn randomly as well. The challenge completes once you open your 6th pry chest and the trophy will unlock right away.

Like almost all other trophies from this DLC, it only drops after completing the Legendary Thief challenge, which must be selected before starting the game.
I would like to note that boxes always appear randomly on the map, but 3 of them are guaranteed to be on the roof of the towers. BUT!! Be careful, because after the third tower is turned off, you will no longer be able to go down, so it’s better to first collect 3 chests + go through 2 towers, and only then go to turn off the third one.

Collected 3 boxes on the ground. Here are the locations in my case. Perhaps it will help someone.

3 boxes are located on the roofs of the towers (one on each), these same 3 boxes are skippable.
The remaining 3 boxes are located in 3 mini locations in the north, southwest and southeast.
After activating the last 3rd tower it will be impossible to go back
