Sharing a few notes for anyone chasing the Platinum on Just Cause 3. It's a long grind but not a hard one — mostly time investment rather than skill.
Difficulty: Easy, but long. No missable trophies, nothing difficulty-gated. Expect 60-80+ hours for 100% depending on how efficiently you liberate regions.
Tips that speed things up:
Total playtime for Plat: Budget for a marathon — this isn't a weekend platinum.
Anyone actively grinding this one? Curious what your fastest chaos-farming routes have been.

Tips that speed things up:
- Liberate settlements before big military bases — smaller settlements are quick chaos/XP and unlock gear upgrades early, which makes the bigger bases much easier later.
- Wingsuit + grapple combo — get comfortable with this early since a huge amount of playtime is just traversal. Upgrading wingsuit boost ASAP saves hours over the full playthrough.
- Chaos farming spots — certain fuel tanks/propaganda statue clusters respawn and are good for quick chaos points if you're short on a specific liberation trophy.
- Save story missions for last — liberating regions unlocks better gear/vehicles, so doing story missions after most of the map is cleared makes some of the harder combat sections trivial.
- Vehicle/Stunt trophies — a few require specific stunts (e.g., wingsuit through structures, tethering vehicles together). Worth looking up specific trophy conditions before you're deep into the game so you don't miss easy opportunities.
