    Edit 16/8/22 - Just wanted to throw in an edit since the game has had a good few updates since this was written. The method detailed below still works, but it arguably redundant as you now need to do Mastery 3 runs of all but one of the Special Operations anyway for the achievements in the title updates, so you might as well just go for them whilst doing that.

    Original Solution

    Once you have reached the mainland and have one of the three main bases (in Madrugada, Valle De Oro or El Este) you can start doing Special Operations by speaking to Lola in the main bases.

    Those of you that played Far Cry: New Dawn may well be somewhat familiar with them, but they are essentially missions that take place outside of the main map, and in the case of this game, involve taking an item from the enemy and bringing it back to the beginning of the mission.

    Now Informants only appear when playing on at least Mastery Level 1 on these missions, so you'll need to beat one first, and the location of the informants is fairly random, but they aren't hard to find, Lola will tell you to look for flares, which are a bright pink colour. I chose to do this on the second mission, Maceo, but I don't think it matters.

    You get 3 informants per mission (though enemies seem to shoot them if you get spotted, so stealth is ideal), and you don't need to finish the mission for them to count, so you can run in, save the 3 hostages, then immediately restart the operation. Each run for me took about 3-4 minutes.

    Rinse and repeat 10 or so times and the achievement is yours. Will probably take about 30 minutes to an hour.

    ElusiveEagleAfter unlocking this achievement, I figured I'd provide some additional clarity on the possible locations in Maceo. In my experience, there are three possible locations:

    - Church: Head west-northwest of the starting location and look for a leaning, damaged building resembling a church. The area is called "Damaged Church".

    - Clocktower: Look for a tall clocktower amongst other damaged buildings to the southwest of the aforementioned church location. The area is called "Historical Town Center". You can see the clocktower on the in-game map as a black octagon in the center of the map around other structures.

    - Gas Station: Look for a small grouping of structures to the southwest of the aforementioned clocktower location. The area is called "Gas Station". You can see this grouping up buildings on the in-game map as it will be highlighted in a lighter (almost white) color near the southern boundary of the map.

    HolyHalfDeadYou have to complete 15 Special Operations on Mastery difficulty to get 5 other achievements. That means if you can free 30 out of 45 hostages you will not need to grind this out.

    An extremely easy way to do this achievement:

    Special Operations can be started from the quest board at your 3 main camps (Madrugada, Valle De Oro, El Este). It’s only available online, but can be played solo.

    For this the 2nd Spec Ops map “Maceo” is recommended. First you must beat it once to unlock Mastery Level 1. You can check difficulty from the mission start screen (bottom right corner).

    At Mastery Level 1 hostages will start spawning across the map (they also spawn at Mastery Level 2 & 3, but for trophy purposes it’s faster and easier to play Mastery Level 1). These are tied-up people and will be indicated by a red glowing flare in the air. Their locations change each try, just look in the sky for the red glowing flare. When you go near them it will show a popup on the left side of the screen saying “Lola’s Informants Operation Nearby”. Kill the enemies around them and untie the hostages. Then restart the Operation immediately and repeat. No need to finish the mission, it still counts when you restart immediately (press Options > System > Restart Special Operation). They can quickly be farmed this way. You don’t need 30 in one mission, this isn’t possible anyway. It only spawns 3 per run. All 3 will always spawn together in the same spot. Save as many as possible, restart, repeat.
