Custom mode and achievements

[GiovanniLeSheek]

Hello fellow survivors.

Will playing custom modes remove my ability to unlock achievements as well as feats? I've never played any custom modes thinking this was the case. At this point the last feat that I care about (that I haven't unlocked) is the settled mind feat. I was close to finishing all 3 Tales but bled out in my recent 500 day interloper run due to my first encounter with a cougar (didn't know I'd bleed to death in my sleep) O__o. Now I feel like it's a good time to go and finally play that gun loper run that I always wanted to do, along with a bit more variety of loot, but only if I can still unlock achievements. I don't normally even care about achievements but since these TLD runs are so long and time consuming I might as well keep the option open for receiving random achievements.

Also, debating if I should just remove the cougar altogether (already removed scurvy with absolutely no regrets). I didn't even want to encounter the cougar, I was merely trying to reach the bunker in blackrock to move the trader quest along.

Feats are diabled in custom but achievements are not.
The cougar knife is a game changer in interloper, the head wrap is also very nice (even if a wolf hat is easier to repair, after you get the recipe from the trader)
The cougar is not that hard once you have good gear, it's even fairly easy if you get the ballistic vest beforehand.

I save scummed before heading over there to go back and try again if I died. I was able to easily kill the cougar once I had a fire down, but the first time I wasn't even trying to engage the cougar, just trying to sneak to the bunker and it attacked. Also, after I killed it, I did not like how that spawned two more cougar locations on the map. It seems excessively bloated and ruins the flow that I have developed over the last 1500 hours of this game.

***EDIT***

I did craft the cougar knife and made the headwrap but I've already lost interest in this run since it originally killed me hah. Once that happens, even save scumming, I just start over. Even if the cougar knife is OP and from what I saw the headwrap is too, I don't think they are worth losing access to numerous portions of multiple maps for the hassle of dealing with the cougars. I wish that the cougar was only on a map or two, randomly placed in timed intervals over the island (like the moose). Crazy how many more cougars there are than moose.
