Sweet. Thats the only thing ive not done as far as the gangs/STAG stuff goes.

 

Just got to find the last 3 now.

 

Ive yet to get the last 2 assassin targets which is rather annoying.

 

I suggest waiting until you're done with everything such as challenges, assassinations, vehicle theft and so forth. Gang members are nearly non existent after the gang ops are done. Unless you do the Mayhem missions and what not.

 

Also, I'm finally back from Thanksgiving Vacation. Guide will be updated with a Roadmap and some more achievement descriptions soon enough.

No you shouldn't have to do them, did you purchase all the stores and properties, and do all the activities? If so maybe try restarting your game, possibly even clearing your cache first.

 

Just started the game and the achievement popped up, thanks for your help mate. :)

I for some reason did not unlock the Free Falling achievement (Act 1 story progression). I've already finished the first act and for some reason it did not unlock. It also did not unlock the 'Ow My Balls!' achievement until I started up the game today. Very strange. I am assuming I ran into a minor glitch and hopefully will not run into any further glitches. I guess after I am done with everything I'll start up a new game real quick to get that as well as the alternative Act 1 ending achievement....

Hey,

 

can anybody tell me if I have to redeem the online passcode to unlock the cheevo for uploading a character online? I really want to play the uncut version, and unfortunately, here in Germany its impossible to redeem the code of the uncut version with a german account :mad: if its not necessary, i still could get the full 1000. Or is it sufficient to just create an account on thq.com to be able to upload the character?

No you don't, it is enough if you create an account on thq.com.

This is a good guide, but there is something very important that needs to be addressed early. It's the potential of making things MUCH harder on yourself by taking over districts before completing certain challenges/assassinations.

 

Otherwise, you take over the island, and they disappear.

 

This happened to me. HOWEVER, I did stumble upon a work around:

 

Alright, so I had the problem, like many it seems, that I 100% the game before I finished a lot of the challenges/assassinations because it made more sense to do it at the end.

Anyway, come to find out, you can't find rival gangs anymore after you've taken over the islands. I was about to give up WHEN:

I loaded my game and spawned at Rodini's Boat Dock, and immediately after I loaded into the game there was a Morningstar car passing by. I immediately shot a rocket launcher and got 2 stars, then they started pursuing me. I was able to finish off my "insult gang" and "specialist kill" challenges here.

You could also use this to get notoriety for the assassin contract where you have to have 4 stars and kill the hookers, too.

 

So there you have it. Just spawn there and it works. I tried it multiple times. It didn't happen EVERY time, but I'd just reload and they'd show up. I would imagine as similar thing would happen for other factions if you do the same thing on another safehouse in their district.

 

Hope this helps!

Very good guide and thanks for writing it. You should perhaps add into the overview section

 

Does difficulty affect achievements?: No

 

I know you wrote it in the text bit but it's nice to keep the format the same through the guides on the site as it makes it easier finding things.

Just updated the Roadmap with everything making my first guide complete! How'd I do? Thanks to everyone that offered suggestions and help. I didn't reply back to everyone, but I took everything into consideration.

 

Still switching colors around for the forum guide. I'm thinking about switching the green to just regular black or at least purple. Something to make it easier to read.

I'd say you did a great job for your first guide.

It helped me out a bunch! Maybe suggest that players get the "collectable finder" perk as early as possible so they can keep an eye out for them and detour when necessary so they don't have to look for them all at once at the end.

 

I thought I did put that in, but it was part of the roadmap. Updated the achievement description accordingly. Thanks for the heads up.

I can't seem to get this achievement to pop.

 

I have Shaundi's "Nut Shots" Challenge completed. And I've run around for a solid two hours using the right stick to kick people in the balls, even hit them with the rocket launcher, and nothing.

 

I've saved and reloaded dozens of times, and nothing.

 

Anyone else have this problem, or solved it?

I'm stuck on the Everything is Permitted achievement, I've gone through 18 of the Assassination Targets, but I'm now stuck because I must rob a store for the target to come out of hiding, thing is I own 100% of Steelport and it won't let me rob my own store.

 

Any idea's on how I can get over this problem, short of restarting the game again from scratch. I have 950GS on this game and really just want to finish it completely now.

You can definitely rob your own stores. I just did that Assassination while owning all the shops.

 

You just have to be sure you stay "zoomed in" (Holding LT) on the store clerk.
