Finally got the Ring Leader achievement for all the stunt rings

[Skiver Veteran]

^^ Congrats :D

I managed to get it last night too... second attempt and it was mine! i think i was just using my jump wrong in the past

Managed to get the psych out achievement too... wasn't too hard but then again it was doing it co-op

i managed to find the baggage car... at the oil rig not the parking lot however my mate decided it would be funny to throw one straight into the sea after i verbally abused him about the fact that he gave me such a hard time over me stating that they were their! on my way back along that long pipe to land... i noticed their were two gang members on top of the big building the pipe goes to, in which they let rip with their guns destroying my car :( so will need to try again at that one

still havent seen the second of my soft top civi cars though... dont know its name but i just always seem to see the one i already have!

Im currently trying to finish off my psych out achievement but my co-op partner fell victim to the download glitch and lost all his stats, so Im trying to finish the last 5-6 bosses off on my own lol

skiver: You can bring the cars back to the garage blown up and all and they will still count. I had to do that a couple times because I forgot I was playing on Psychotic. :laugh:

The baggage carrier at Rzeznik's building is easier to bring out.

Also, there are two civilian convertibles. The one with roll bars behind the seats and another without. I'm assuming the one you need is the one without the roll bars but with a sloping front end. Run around Shai Gen, the civilians there seem to drive it more often.

yeah i know about the blown up cars but the car got stuck on the rocks, couldnt pick it up or kick it anywhere... i had to throw it through fear of it blowing up and ending up in the water

i've managed to get that achievement now, still we went to the carpark first and it wasnt their, oil rig and it was but i managed to get it back (blown up) yes it was the one without the roll bars and i found it in Shi gen but ive got that too :)

i have 3 achievements left to get Orb hunter, Street Racer and Street Racer Elite < unfortunatly the racing ones... you dont seem to be able to get without buying the content... i thought it would be like the others where as long as one of you have it its ok but i completed all races last night with a random car and i didnt get it... might have to consider getting me some points... im determinded to max out the GS on this game!

[5Forty]

Any tips on getting the Pack Rat achievement ? eg which stockpile mini-game in the crackdown world I should go for

[Skiver Veteran]

I found it pretty easy... in fact i got it from the first two i did... i suggest just going for it and see how it goes

i cant remember the factors, think their is a time factor involved but i cant really remember... but i dont remember doing either of them extremely fast

i did it in los muetos cant remember exact location (somewhere near that first supply point you do) and over in volk near the power plant with the big nuclear funnel looking things

[5Forty]

Completed Pack Rat earlier was pretty easy on co-op, only one more achievement left....

Orb Hunter

Collect 300 Hidden Orbs

Im about 100 away

[Green_Eye]

YAAAAY for Crackdown :D

[5Forty]

Ive been using this guide to get all the hidden orbs, and Ive ended up with 299/300 :crazy:

[Veedems Veteran]

I'm now stuck on 499/500 agility orbs. Arghhh

5Forty: I've been telling people about that photo album for a while and it does work. Recheck the Volk factory just outside of tunnel #2. There's a picture of a small shack, if you will, and there's an identical shack in the area. So check closer to the waterside by the tunnel, not the building on the waterside by the bridge.

If that doesn't make sense, feel free to send me a coop invite. I'll be happy to show you.

bangbang: Double check the buildings in Shai Gen. Especially the three round ones on the right side of the map. The globe, the parking garage and the museum.

[Veedems Veteran]

I've checked all over shai-gen and nothing is there that I can see.

So, I just bought the additional content. Some fun stuff there, loving keys to the city :D

Can I no longer have gangs on the streets without resetting all my progress? Will I lose all my orbs too?

I still need to max out firearms for the Master Agent achievement.

No, you can't just have gangs anymore. You have to reset the bosses also. However, you won't lose your orbs and current levels.

If anyone's struggling with the Street Racer Elite achievement, grab an Agency Supercar, park it at the start line, get out and restart the race. The car will stay there and you can jump into is as soon as the race starts, which means you can either blow up or blow away all the opposition (blowing up is easiest as the catchup is ridiculous - I was being caught up by a Volk limo when I did it yesterday). If you want to reuse the car be sure to jump out before you go across the finish line or else it'll disappear.

This way is a lot easier, less time consuming and more reliable than setting up roadblocks on corners.
