"Free Roaming" and the new achievements
Can we unlock the new achievements in the new "Free Roaming" mode or are they campaign exclusive?

I got Love Turts in the freeRoam version, pretty quickly. Which was nice, since the cheevo didn;t pop for me in the regular version of the game. The last one I need is Ol' Shoshone, and I'll go for that one later, after I explore a bit more. But it seems it is possible.

Thank you for the answer. Then I will try to get a few of the new achievements in the "Free Roaming" mode.

Most welcome. The 2 achievemnts I didn;t get in my regular game seem to have been borked by something going on with Steam at that time. In FreeRoam, all I had to do was pick the turtle up and [E[ to keep him, and it popped right away. Go get some cheevos. :)

I manage today in less then one hour to get these achievements in the free roaming mode:

Love Turts
Shutter Bug
Ol' Shoshone (Need fireaxe for that one)
The Life and Times of Raccoon Carter

However the Bee Plot achievements failed for some reason. Maybe that only in story mode you can get that one. :Walkie:

Where did you actually find the turtle? It seems there are different places where it can be and I already tried quite a few I could find out about, to no avail. I hope that it's always at the same place in free roam mode.

BTW: The bee archivement didn't work for me too.

I found the turtle sitting on a rock, at the top part of the lake (one of the usual spawn points apparently). In the regular game, where the cheevo did not pop for me, I found him under a tree on one of the pathways I think. Took him home, put him in the box and nothing happened. In Fre Roam all I did was pick him up and hold down the [E] to keep him and it popped.

Don;t know about the Bee Plot, I got that in my first playthrough in regular game mode.

I was already on both of those places. The second location you mentioned I knew exacly from a video and the first one I had searched for what feels like half an hour. In the end I started a new free roam game and did go directly to the lake. There it was, but it definitely isn't there (anymore?) in my first game.

Anyway, thanks.

How exactly? I did pick up the tape, played the song, nothing. Same for the bee one.

You need the fireaxe to clear the blocked trail, to get to where the tape for the Ol'Shoshone cheevo is hidden. Only reason you need it to get that one. Without the axe, trail stays blocked and you cant get to where the tape is.

Just to make that clear, this is not about the tape with the four tracks on it that you can find with the help of the coordinates you find in cache 305 (the tape south of Two Forks).
It's a differnent one you can find opposite from Hawk's Rest.

I couldn't play it, but just keeping it (B on the gamepad, don't know what the keyboard key is) gave me the archivement.

With the help of the guide above I could unlock "Love Turts" in "Free Roaming" mode and and "Shutter Bug" after I load a save near the end of the game. :)
