How to Unlock Hidden Achievements in Over the Hill
Held by a Thread – Hidden Achievement
You can approach this cliff-hanging challenge using two different maps depending on how quickly you want it done.
- Easy – Algeria: Tassili n’Ajjer Desert: Quick access from spawn.
- Medium – Canada: Gimli Ridge: It takes a bit longer because of the driving.
Algeria – Tassili n’Ajjer Desert
Start by selecting Algeria and then choose the Tassili n’Ajjer Desert map.
Make sure to equip at least one Portable Winch along with Winch Stage 2 or 3 upgrades.
Spawn at either Porte Du Desert Camp or Crazy Gunther, then drive toward the blue circle indicating the Scenic View Point.
Press Enter to open the Scenic View Point interface, select your gear, and deploy the Portable Winch.
Hook your vehicle to the winch anchor point and carefully drive straight off the edge of the cliff.
Once hanging against the rock wall, press the default L key to extend the cable fully, keeping your vehicle suspended in mid-air for a full 10 seconds to trigger the unlock.
Canada – Gimli Ridge
Head over to the cold north by selecting Canada and dropping into Gimli Ridge.
Equip at least one Portable Winch paired with a Winch Stage 3 or 4 upgrade for this heavier vehicle run.
Spawn at Sunset Landing Cabin or Mount Gibson Lodge, and navigate toward the marked blue circle on your map.
Search for a natural rock bridge featuring a crate sitting on the far side, grabbing the crate first if you have not picked it up yet.
Park right in the middle of the bridge, open your equipment menu, and ready your Portable Winch.
Secure your winch line to the structure and drive right off the side of the drop-off.
As soon as you are suspended against the rock face, press the L key to let out more cable length.
Let your vehicle dangle completely free in open air for 10 seconds to secure the achievement pop.
Law of the Land – Hidden Achievement
Unlock the Asgard Mountain region first, and pack both a Repair Kit and a Jack just in case rough terrain causes a flip.
Travel directly to Rock Cradle Cabin or select it as your initial spawn point.
Drive up the trail toward the Scene Point to unlock it if it is still greyed out on your map. Open your tactical map, drop a waypoint on the blue circle chest located east of the cabin, and cruise carefully down the hill using your tools whenever things get bumpy.
Pull right up to the discovered chest to claim the Beacon Bar – Red & Blue item reward.
Head back to the main menu or use a teleport point to access your garage, then choose The Polyana outfitted in its blue livery. Note that this specific vehicle must be unlocked beforehand over at Gimli Ridge.

Load into any map or region of your choosing, ensuring you have a Campfire slotted into your active inventory.
Spawn anywhere you like across the open terrain.
Press the default Q key to pull up your placement menu and pick the Campfire structure.
Rotate the campfire placement hologram until both the surrounding circle indicator and bounding box turn solid green.
Complete the setup process to build your very own campsite for the first time, instantly unlocking the Under the Stars achievement.
Other Hidden Achievements
Under the Water
Drive deep enough into a lake or river to completely fill up your vehicle water resistance meter until the engine floods and shuts down entirely.
Professional Driver
Take a corner way too fast or hit a rough bump to flip your truck over onto its side or roof.
Taking Flight
Hit a high-speed crest or ramp to launch your vehicle completely airborne off a ridge.
Pro tip: Always carry a portable winch in your loadout slots so you never get stranded down a ravine.
