How to unlock the A Friend in Need achievement in Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - Definitive Guide
~Glitched~
This is the problem child of this trophy list. I say it's glitched but in reality it's just really stubborn and seems to decide to unlock on its own terms. There are many different methods in getting this, it's purely down to how many times you have to meet the requirements before it decides to unlock.
Method 1:
What you need to do is respond to a call for help. Either from matchmaking or in the menu page and then you must revive the agent who made the call.
Method 2:
The hive revive method. This one is quick and easy to do. Respond to a call for help via matchmaking, blow yourself up and you will drop the revive hive and revive yourself. This actually counts as an agent revived and the trophy will pop (hopefully).
Method 3:
There is a guaranteed method for it. Where with a friend you can manipulate the game into being in a call for help state. I haven't tried this method personally but there are plenty of people who it has worked for first time. Please refer to the thread here: LINK for further details providing a step by step guide. Thanks Laurik for the link to this method.
For some the trophy unlocks straight away but others have spent hours doing the same thing over and over until it pops. Choose a method and hope for the best but it will come eventually. To boost this trophy, check out the trophy boosting thread here: LINK
The apparent legitimate way to unlock this achievement is to answer a call for help, that you will receive regularly while playing the game that then takes you into the world of the agent calling for help, then reviving them when they have been downed. However this does not seem to work for most people as it didn't for me, but there is another method that did eventually work for me and many others.
First you need to equip the Reviver Hive skill and assign it to one of the bumpers. Then you need to respond to a call for help. You can wait for these to appear or else if you go to the map and press three times, you can matchmake specifically for people who are calling for help. Once you load into such a game, use your grenade to down yourself, then your Reviver Hive will deploy and get you back up. If you're lucky this will unlock the achievement for you. You will very likely need to repeat this anywhere from 5-10 times to 50+ times before it will finally unlock.

1.find a friend who is willing to help you
2. you are both in the game but not in the group!
3. one of the players opens the map and looks for requests for help (orange exclamation mark on the map) if there is no sign for a long time, turn off and turn on the request for help through the square
4. we found a sign, point at it, the cross button up will appear, then the second player should be ready through the communication menu to join you (join the group)
5.now both of you must press buttons on the count of three, one player responds to the request (cross pad up, the other joins his group)
6.after loading you will be on the same server in a group without other agents, the player who responded to the request when turning on the map will still see the request for help (will be spinning in the bottom left circle)
7. Now everything is simple: the one who joined the group kills himself with a grenade (must completely lie down!) The other one picks him up and the trophy.
PS. I checked on three accounts, the trophy did not fall in all of them before.
