Silent Hunter achievement not registering

[MiniChopper4Me]

After completing more than 50 days in Stalker difficulty with no rifle shots taken, I still have not registered the achievement as completed.

I got this on the 30th of December. Not much I can say to help other than "good luck"!

Not sure what's going on with my game, but still no luck.  In the community hub (shift+tab when in game) It shows the Silent Hunter achievement with "So close...." underneath it, but now I am waaaaay past the 50 day mark with no rifle shots and still no achievement.

I actually thought it may be looking at the wrong statistic (Areas discovered was below 50 until today) but even after getting even that statistic above 50, I still have no Silent Hunter to show for it.

Does anyone know if perhaps using the Distress Pistol counts against you?

That would be my best guess. This was the last achievement I needed so I just made a new save on Pilgrim and powered through it in a few hours. Didn't use the distress pistol.
