Completing the Death From Above challenge or trophy in Far Cry 5 can be one of the most tricky tasks for players attempting to master Hope County. This task requires you to drop a bomb from a plane and destroy or disable four vehicles at the same time. While executing this during normal gameplay can be extremely chaotic, using smart preparation strategies makes unlocking it straightforward.
Understanding the Core Challenge Requirements
The Death From Above task specifically mandates that four distinct vehicles are destroyed or disabled simultaneously using an aerial bomb. Striking moving targets on cult convoys during flight requires exceptional accuracy and timing. Because of unpredictable enemy movement, attempting this in open combat often leads to missed attempts.
Selecting and Preparing the Proper Aircraft
To start this objective, you must acquire an aircraft equipped with bombing capabilities, such as the Carmina plane from Rye & Sons Aviation. Flying a plane with explosive ordnance allows access to the dedicated bomb sight view when aiming at ground targets. Securing a plane before setting up your target area ensures you have the necessary firepower ready.
Setting Up a Controlled Ground Environment
The easiest method to complete this challenge is creating a controlled setup on the ground rather than aiming at moving targets. You can land your bomber plane near a vehicle garage and spawn four small quad bikes. Parking these four vehicles closely around your aircraft sets up all required targets in one tight cluster.
Executing the Bomb Drop Successfully
Once your quad bikes are parked directly next to your plane, enter the cockpit without taking off. Switch to the bomber view and trigger the bomb release to detonate the explosive right at your location. The resulting explosion instantly disables all four surrounding vehicles and completes the achievement.
