How to unlock the Make them count achievement

    EDIT: Must be done in 1 playthrough!

    If you follow the Main objective you will have a lot of opportunities in the final battle. But it will barely be enough. So it helps to drop a couple in some of the camps. There will be plenty groups of 4 there the skill automatically replenishes in that mission making it even more convenient to utilize it then.

    My achievement did stop tracking at some point, dying however fixed it. So I recommend putting the Tracker overlay on so you can see if and when it happens to you.

    The skill itself
    - You need to use your binoculars with cn_up and then press cn_RB to summon an airstrike. It will take a couple of seconds for the plane to fly over and drop the load.
    - I am not certain if victims that are burned after the drop instead of instantly killed count towards the achievement.
    - To recharge the skill you have to liberate Prisoners of war or Camps / Outposts. You can 'carry' a maximum of 5. However in the final mission you get them automatically recharged so it's not mandatory to pursue any side objectives
    - This air strike is not to be confused with the use of the Mortar. Those kills won't count towards the achievement.
    - If this wasn't obvious already, you have to disable Anti-Air guns in the area for this skill to be enabled. You can tell if it's in effect in your environment when the symbol is crossed through

    RSBennetti've spent a little time playing around with what does and doesnt work for counting. it does seem to be a little glitchy for counting kills overall but kills from the fire *DO* count. Killing the same person over and over *DOES NOT* count. I cant confirm if you can get progress over multiple playthroughs but to play it safe i'm doing it all in one playthrough, it would probably be best to do it that way for other people. I'm about half way through the first playthrough (i've saved two of my squad, taken out 3 AA guns, and saved on random POW) and i have 75%ish progress so its easily doable.

    - All 25 have to be done in 1 playthrough

    - Use airstrikes to take out camps and groups of enemies along your path to the extraction point

    - As long as your at 50% before the extraction zone you should be good

    - At the very end you get unlimited airstrikes to take out A LOT of enemies so you should have no problem cleaning up the rest of the kills here, also make sure to unassign any homies that will just steal your kills

    - If you need more kills keep in mind before you pick up the documents you can go backward through the map and still have unlimited airstrikes, so you can go back to the camp just before the extraction point (as long as you didn't liberate it earlier) and fire away to get more kills. This is shown in my video as well :)
