    This can be completed as early as Day 2. After finding the downed line and heading down the path (headed toward cache 241), you will see a backpack hanging on a tree. Knock it down and grab the items in it. One of the items is a disposable camera. Use up the remaining pictures to unlock your achievement.

    RhogiathFor anyone else having trouble getting this to pop:
    I tried it multiple times and it never worked. Then I noticed that my camera screen was kind of glitched out. Specifically, after snapping a photo there was no "rewind" animation and the overlay wasn't coming up again.
    After restarting the game, that worked again and would you look at that, the achievement worked as well. I believe that the glitched animation is contributing to it, try a restart to see if that helps.

    ALoneWolf42@Rhogiath : Thanks! This worked!

    If anyone else is having trouble: I restarted the game on a new save, played up until Day 2 before crossing the log bridge, and made a manual save before touching the backpack. When I first grabbed the camera the "Rewind Animation" wasn't triggering, so nothing popped. So I force quit the game, reloaded. Grabbed the backpack again, grabbed the camera, the "Rewind Animation" works correctly now~!

    The Baird BusFor this and other buggy achievements, my found solution: upon the completion of an achievement but it doesn't pop...

    Open the Xbox app on your phone. Touch your profile in the bottom right. Then touch Achievements tab and then click on Fire watch. The achievement should unlock in about 5 seconds.

    I assume the problem is the game not talking to Xbox servers and checking the game on your app forces it to.

    I found a solution for if you'd like to keep film in your camera for the rest of the game.

    After you've found the camera in the backpack (see other guides), quit to the main menu and select Load Game. To the right of each saved game you have the option to copy the save to an empty slot. Copy your main save, and load the copy. Empty the camera, quit again, and load up your main save, and voila - you've gotten the achievement right away, and you still have film for story events later in the game.

    SjoeterI just made a manual save with 15 shots on the roll, then shot all pics, after the achievement popped I exited the game, loaded up my save and had the 15 shots available.
