Hidden Ones Story Achievements not unlocking

[Thund3rstr1ke]

There seems to be a problem with the story achivements from the Hidden Ones DLC, at least for me.
I ended the DLC yesterday, but the achievements "New Recruits" and "Surgical Strikes" did not unlock. I started both quests with patch 1.2.1 and finished with patch 1.3.0, so maybe that's the problem. The achievements didn't unlock in both Steam and Uplay. The last story achievement unlocked correctly though.
Is there a way to replay the DLC without playing the whole game again?

really no one having this problem?

I'm having problem with New Recruits. Already finished all the side quests, and explore all the area, but didn't achieve Old Habits achievement too. Probably buggy.

A friend of mine just bought the DLC this weekend and thus played the whole DLC with patch 1.3.0. Both achievements unlocked for him, so maybe it's really a problem with savegames that began the DLC with an older version.

Maybe patch issues, hope ubi fix it soon. The only achievement left for me is "New Recruits".

Hey,

Very sorry about this guys, these achievements are known to be a little glitchy at the moment. I've just mentioned this on another thread but the team are aware and are looking into it.

For now, you can either start a NG+, quickly get through Siwa and head straight to The Hidden Ones DLC and re-do the missions. Or you can wait for a potential update in the future.

We can't manually unlock the achievements i'm afraid so we don't have any further troubleshooting at the moment.

I had it work for me. Just checking, but is your file "animus hacked"? If so, you can't get achievements on that file.

I started NG+ and replayed the stuff needed for it. It unlocked for me. 100%

You can change many options in the game by "hacking the animus". You can access it at the save file screen, or during gameplay by pressing shift+f2 I think?

When you change any option in the animus, you create a "hacked" copy of the file. This file will have a yellow-tinted background, and have the words "Animus Hacked" on it. Such hacked files are unable to gain achievements.

Even if you change all options back to normal, the file is permanently marked as hacked.

Oh ok, thank you for the explanation, in that case i didn't do any hacking. only taking videos and pictures in game. This achievement is really getting annoying to acquire.

Wondering if anyone face this problem like me too? NG+ finished but it didn't pop up.

Update: I restarted the whole NG+ game again and set it to easy mode. Blast through it in few hours and got the achievement. 100% guys. Thanks a lot
