— In-game description

Between a Rock and a Hard Place V is an achievement.


Notes

  • This achievement will count the greatest number of victories the player has had on Seal Rock with any single Grand Company. If they have had 6 victories with one company and 4 with another, their progress will be 6.
  • Victories are attributed to the Grand Company the player is current enlisted with, regardless of which company they are assigned to during the Frontlines match.
  • The number of victories a player has had with each Grand Company is not easily visible, so this may be difficult to track for players who regularly change Grand Companies.

Trivia

The achievement name comes from the English idiom "between a rock and a hard place," which refers having to choose between two or more difficult options.
The idiom is a reference to The Odyssey at a point where the crew need to navigate through a narrow strait between two deadly threats, Scylla (a man-eating monster that lives on a large "rock") and Charybdis (a sea monster that creates large whirlpools, i.e. "a hard place").
