How to unlock the Faction Benefactor achievement

    Faction items come in three shapes; Skulls, Black Boxes and Drug Drops. There are 100 of each type, 300 in total.

    Each item is linked to a faction and will show up automatically on the radar as a small blue dot once the location lies inside faction territory. Expanding the territory by doing faction missions and takeovers seems wise if you do not want to consult an online map.

    Drug Drops can be found mostly on and around buildings. Skulls are usually hidden in the jungle (or general wilderness) and at shrines or ancient villages. Black Boxes are usually submerged near the coastline and will require you to dive!

    Your progress for each items and the total are tracked and can be consulted in the statistics. You can pick up items even if they are not inside faction territory. It will simply be easier to find them if they show up on the map!

    To my knowledge there is no complete map at the time of typing this! If you should come across one, feel free to add them in the comments and I will update this solution while giving due credits!

    TOTHEXXXTREMEDo these items stick around after you complete all seven agency missions or do they disappear like the Strongholds?

    Epsilon ThetaThey stick around and are not missable in the sense that you cannot get them once you completed the main campaign missions.

    MaxolhxFor the highest faction item density, head over to Panao City. An easy way to rack up more is to set off in a boat and follow the coastline. Look for the blue dots on the map and radar.

    I recommend getting the parachute booster add on if you have spare points. It costs around 160 points and will greatly reduce your travelling time.

    *edit BloodngunsMrphy has advised me this has now been removed from the marketplace

    Also if you're struggling to find some of the item locations on the map (more perhaps towards the end of 300 rather than 150) go onto your icon legend, click hide all and then click collect items. Some are totally hidden by other icons like races etc.

    NickHawkeyeWhat did the boost do?
    Posted by NickHawkeye on 29 Mar 17 at 15:49
    HiradCmeant you could parachute round indefinitely pretty much. it was finite but would recharge inbetween bursts (similar to the wingsuit boost on JC3)

    If you want a good boost of faction items, head to Panu City - Financial District. There are a lot in that area. Coordinates are X: 6076; Y: 13335
    I normally buy the smaller helicopter in the Black Market and just pick up faction items one by one. Complete Strongholds to unlock more of the map to find faction items. I finished all 9 Strongholds before attempting this. They are little blue dots on your map, if it helps you can press LT while in the map and then select, "Hide All" then select, "Collects" to find them easier. You will have to do this each time you exit and re-enter the map. There are 3 types of Faction Items. Drug Drops, Skulls, and Black Boxes. Good luck it takes a while :)
