    This achievement is getting to Level 20 in Arcade Mode (Map Creator / Multiplayer). It only takes a few hours (between 2-4 hours). You can do this in solo, co-op, or MP arcade. I strongly recommend you do this in MP as a) you will need to play a lot to get ARCADE Competitor and ARCADE Hunter, to the point where this will probably be earned through natural progression, and b) you will get a 20% XP boost with a win + more initial XP in most cases playing MP > Solo/Co-op.

    Aside from that, just play Arcade mode and you'll get this naturally. The only thing to note is as of 2nd April 2018, please be warned that there is an unknown glitch causing people to lose progress. I got to Level 12 by playing for fun, came back after getting all single player achievements and my ARCADE level was reset to 1. Ubisoft are aware of this, and there are workarounds so don't fear; a) do it in one session (set some time aside, a weekend..a day off..etc.) or b) Don't exit Far Cry 5 if that isn't possible. If you want to turn your Xbox off, put it on the off mode which allows you to resume progress and not a complete hard reset.

    Arsenic 17Do you know how Arcade Hero awards XP? Is it from playtime , completing or killing things? To me it seems to be solely time based, but not sure. Hide in corner for a long time and suicide seems to level up a lot.

    ShellingFordI'm now going for those pesky multiplayer achievements😩 Ubisoft never learns. Far Cry is a solo game and doesn't need a multiplayer. It's just annoying.
    Anyway, I was just doing some maps and realised that the XP are solely awarded by the time spent in a map. It doesn't matter what you do, if or how many enemies you kill or if you "win" or die. Realising that, I just left the game run while doing something else and every now and then I killed myself at a torch (because I was randomly in a level with torches^^). Then I just got a big chunk of XP and simply reloaded the level and did the same again.

    i Bright x^^ 100% accurate.

    My first level was one similar to The Mile High Club, I finished it quickly and got a bit of xp. Replayed it, left it idling for 20 minutes, finished it and got 6 levels lmao.

    Did it again for 15 minutes, went from 17-20, achievement unlocked. This is why the comments are sometimes better than the solution itself.

    Quite a simple one to get, doesn't take too long to do.
    I found the quickest ways to level up were by doing the Arcade Hero solo missions. You earn bonus XP on each one and it seemed to rattle up pretty quickly.

    There does seem to be a glitch affecting some people, where their progress isn't saving and they reset to level 1. It didn't for me, but if you're concerned then set aside a bit of time to do this in one sitting.

    z 4assed monkeyI lucked upon a tiny Journey map called “Cool.” It’s mostly empty but for 8ish enemies at a circular building. Kill them all and wait an extra minute or two before exiting. The longer you wait, the more XP you get. I replayed this for a quick grind.

    HolyHalfDeadOnce you have the other achievements you should do this at it gives double XP. Some of the maps are really bad, so just quit out if you get one.
