When FC5 comes up, there will inevitably be Xbox and Steam achievements as well as Playstation trophies. Love'em, hate'em, or 'meh' about them, we're gonna get them.
So I decided that just for fun, I would love to hear from you what kind of achievements you think we might get! They could be serious, they could be for fun, they could be challenging, or even bland. Just tell us what the achievements' names are, the subheader for it (aka description for how to obtain it), and even describe the thumbnail icon to go with it if you want! Anyways, here are a few I thought up:
GRAB THE... : Ride your first bull! -Icon looks like a cowboy riding an angry bull- ((This assumes we can get a bull riding skill, which would just be awesome! .... which leads into the next achievement I would love to see...))
NOT FASTER THAN YOUR FRIEND : Kill 10 Peggies using a bull you're riding. -Icon looks like one of those runners from the Running of the Bulls- ((The name of this achievement would be a play on the joke about 'not being faster than the bull, but faster than your friend.)
BLOODY MARKET EXCHANGE : Get a bear and bull to fight. -Icon shows a stock market graph with a bloody bear paw print and blood dripping bull horns- ((Seeing as I saw someone playing the PAX demo and they lured a bear by accident and it got a cool animation of it fighting a bull, decided this could be a fun achievement to get. Title gets the name for how a market going up or down are called 'bull markets' and 'bear markets' respectively.)
THAT'S FOUR, I WALK : Throw baseball bats to kill 4 Peggies in a row. -Icon shows a number 4 above a flat on his bag Peggie with a baseball bat lying next to him and swirling 'knockout' cartoon effect above his head- ((There just HAS to be at least one baseball related cheevo/trophy seeing as the sport is America's pastime.))
BOOMER WILL LIVE : Revive a good boy! -Icon shows a happy Boomer- ((This one is a play on Nostalgia Critic's running joke first started WAY back when he did the Independence Day review.))
I'M THE ALPHA, B*TCH!!! : Boomer scares off or kills a pack leader wolf. -Icon shows a snarling Boomer- ((I saw a PAX demo play where after killing a wolf, it had a fur to loot labeled 'pack leader fur'.))
Anyways, these are just a few I came up with. Definitely wanna see what the rest of you can come up with, so have fun!!!

i hope they do not have multiplayer trophies or achevements i always do not like when they do it for multiplayer they should have challenges and item unlocks for those in multiplayer but we cannot be sure this game will have a thriving multiplayer community so some of those could get hard to get think about how hard it will be for someone now to get all those achievements in far cry 4 which has very few people playing the same could happen in 5
hope all the achievements are able to be got in single player only
Gr4nt8r0dy if you thought those MP achievements were hard you should have tried to get the ones in Far Cry 2.
I will say that the trophy / achievements in Far Cry 3,4,Primal were quite tame the only one I struggled with in FC3 was the poker one and with FC4 it was getting someone in coop to get a couple of trophies which wasn't hard at all really.
But it depends what people want - do you want them to be so easy that people trade the game in quicker or a little harder so they might actually earn the trophies - look at GTA you don't get those easy.
Some FC2 Trophies for Multiplayer.
Unlock field manuals for all weapons (Ranked match)
Again you had to put massive hours into getting this, it also meant using weapons you maybe didn't like
Achieve Rank 30 (Ranked Match)
This required a lot of time I got to Rank 20 and gave up because of the clowns playing in Ranked it was not a fair game seeing all the so called hot shots and their precious ranks all clambering onto one team for fear they might get beaten if the teams were balanced out properly.
Win a round as the Captain in Uprising mode (Ranked Match)
In this mode the captain was randomly selected.
Get highest xp total in one match (Ranked Match)
Win a match with 16 players (Ranked Match)
The issue here is anyone new to the game is going to struggle because players improved their weapons plus there was a lot of cry babies in Ranked who would vote you off if you were winning in solo deathmatch, in Team games they all swapped sides to make an elite team - very cowardly.
Get 500 revives (Ranked Match)
When trying to revive you know the player has just been put down so the enemy no doubt has you in their sights and once you start to heal another player you can't defend yourself and can't snap out of the animation of healing - healing other players is one of the worst things they ever brought into the multiplayer it never properly worked and results more in the healer getting wasted - however with Far Cry 4 at least you can defend yourself while bleeding out so you could defend the person while they heal you so it might be better with FC5 hopefully.
I didn't see Gr4nt say anything about the difficulty of the achievements, just that he didn't want them to be MP related, which I actually totally agree with. I hate MP achievements in games. I prefer when a game has a separate reward system for the MP component, with the same sort of activities Fallen-Champ described rewarding you with special in-game items & such. I also kind of hate really grindy achieves, but that is a pet peeve of mine. I mean, 500 throwing knife or run over kills? Thats just excessive. I'm really not all that concerned with achievements but personally my favorite kind are the ones that have you try things you might not normally. Stuff like "get a headshot with the bow while airborne" would be a challenging yet fun one....
Quite a lot play with stealth so Bow Kills, Knife Kills they would soon get to 500 (especially in user created maps) running A.I. over in maps wouldn't take that long especially on some maps which people might make to cater more to the trophy.
I do believe that they made things way too easy with FC3 and FC4 (also Primal) with unlocking everything then for a lot the game goes into the bargain basement / trade in so budget price - maybe Ubisoft want that because then people are moving onto other games.
I don't like it when there are say 150 relics to find but the Trophy pops at 80 then it's up to the player if they want to go on, there should have also been one for getting them all then a special weapon or something at least some kind of reward.
I understand some don't like MP achievements and those in FC2 were brutal so they went from insanely hard to stupidly easy - maybe a happy medium.
Now if you played the hell out of single player and got some reward visually or something you could use and then you took that into multiplayer people would be wondering how you got it - just the same if someone could unlock something for playing lots of MP and you ended up in a coop match and they had something special - look at the golden gun in Goldeneye so some reward, I like that kind of thing.
Achievements themselves I don't really care about just want the game to have some life long term.
I dunno, I guess I don't care at all what the achievements are because I don't really go out of my way to get them. If they are enjoyable gameplay related ones I'll make an attempt, but all the grindy style ones are just chores to me. I pulled down so many propaganda posters in FC4 and collected all those relics in FC3 more for the XP you get than the stupid achievement.
