2. Outpost and Bell Tower Achievements
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
In Far Cry 4, to liberate outposts, you simply go to them on the map and kill every enemy that is there. There are numerous achievements attached to the liberation of outposts.
There are also fortresses. Fortresses can be liberated at any point in the game, but if you complete the main story first, then the fortresses will be much easier to complete as their defenses will be weakened. You can complete outposts and fortresses in co-op if you want.
There are also achievements tied to the bell towers in the game. Bell towers are towers that you can ascend and then liberate to open up more of the map for you to see. This will make more side quests and activities playable as well.
All Clear – Liberate all outposts
Brother in Arms – Liberate 1 outpost playing as Hurk (co-op only)
Deliver Us from Evil – Liberate 12 Outposts
Display of Fortitude – Conquer 2 Fortresses
End Transmission – Liberate 8 Bell Towers
Tread Lightly – Liberate any Outpost without triggering an alarm in any mode

Hang out just on the outskirts of outposts that you’ve liberated. Sometimes you will be warned of attackers that are attempting to reclaim the outpost. You then need to go back to the outpost and kill all of the incoming enemies in order to keep the outpost.
If you still need some achievements related to outpost liberation, then you may want to let the enemies retake the outposts so that you can get those just in case you missed them.
