Achievement
Description
42.
Boot Licker
Reach City Alignment 7 for any faction.

Missable: To get this you have to capture 7 out of 9 Watermill or Electric substations for same faction — to the Survivors or to the Peacekeepers. Capturing will give you bonuses for parkour or battle skills.


Some people having issues with unlocking this achievement after capturing 7 city aligment —
the only solution that has helped many users is to connect online to another player: they report that unlocked the achievement after doing this.


Also there is currently a glitch in the game where you can get this easy in coop.

Requirements. Either have 2 players with more then the required total combined city aligment. (Example: one player has 4 other player has 3. Towards the same Faction.. ).. or a new player should be able to do this with a person that already has the achievement (not tested with new player).

How to do the glitch method:
  • Join game.
  • As soon as it has loaded and you can move around l, drop out.
  • As quickly as possible join back,
  • Drop out again as soon as you can move.

Keep doing this a few times, then go back to your own game. What this does is to combine the total city alignment both players have, and overwrite your same with this info. The achievement can be a bit delayed.
