🔫 Combat & Driving
Takedowns, stealth, police heat, alligators and vehicle stunts.
Custom 358
BronzeFull guideCollapseDrove at 120 mph or faster for 20 seconds
Custom 358
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Drive at 120 mph+ for 20 continuous seconds. Grab a genuine sports car — the De'Leo Stiletto is the pick — and use a long straight: the main road running southwest out of Frisco Fields, over the bridge and through the tunnel, has no tight corners to bleed speed.
Tip
Switch driving to Simulation for a higher top speed, drive at night for lighter traffic, and don't touch the brakes for the full 20 seconds.
Testing the Shocks
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhile driving, performed a 50-meter jump and landed on your wheels
Testing the Shocks
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Perform a 50-metre jump and land on your wheels.
Tip
Find a steep ramp or raised bridge approach, hit it flat out, and keep the car level in the air.
New Bordeaux Drifter
BronzeFull guideCollapseWhile driving, drifted for at least 5 seconds
New Bordeaux Drifter
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Hold a drift for 5+ seconds. A light rear-drive car like the Berkley Gypsy slides easily; find a wide dirt/mud roadside, build speed and yank the handbrake into the turn, feathering the throttle to keep the slide going.
Tip
Loose surfaces (mud, gravel shoulders) sustain a drift far longer than tarmac.
One Good Turn
BronzeFull guideCollapseMade a 180 degree turn at high speed without hitting anything
One Good Turn
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Perform a 180-degree turn at high speed without hitting anything.
Tip
Do it on an empty stretch of road — traffic or a kerb strike voids the attempt.
Wrecker
BronzeFull guideCollapseExecuted 10 Vehicle Takedowns
Wrecker
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Execute 10 Vehicle Takedowns. During car chases, either shoot out a pursuer's tyres or ram/PIT its rear quarter until it flips or wrecks. Racket-enforcer and story chases give plenty of targets.
Tip
Cumulative all game; a heavier car wrecks enemies faster, and a passenger-seat associate can shoot tyres for you.
Combat Specialist
BronzeFull guideCollapseKilled 300 enemies via Takedowns
Combat Specialist
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Kill 300 enemies with Takedowns — the melee finisher. A long but automatic grind if you favour melee.
Tip
Rackets are full of enemies. Approach from cover and use takedowns instead of shooting wherever it's safe; it also feeds the stealth and brutal takedown trophies.
Shh, shh
BronzeFull guideCollapsePerformed 100 Stealth Takedowns on enemies
Shh, shh
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Perform 100 Stealth Takedowns on unaware enemies.
Tip
Whistle to lure single enemies away from groups, then take them down from behind — the core loop of every racket assault.
Closed Casket
BronzeFull guideCollapsePerformed 50 Brutal Takedowns
Closed Casket
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Perform 50 Brutal Takedowns. Enter melee, and at the end of a combo hold the finisher (Circle) and hit the quick-time prompt to execute a Brutal Takedown rather than a normal kill.
Tip
Cumulative — the racket-clearing fights supply endless fodder, and Brutal Takedowns also cause nearby enemies to flee or surrender.
Softened 'Em Up
BronzeMissableFull guideCollapseCompletely weakened a racket by killing all of its Enforcers
Softened 'Em Up
BronzeMissableFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Completely weaken a racket by killing all of its Enforcers before taking the racket down.
Tip
⚠️ Missable in the sense that each racket can only be taken once per save — if you rush a racket without clearing its Enforcers, that opportunity is gone. Do it on an early racket while you're being thorough.
I'm Goin' In!
BronzeMissableFull guideCollapseAttacked a Racket without killing any Enforcers
I'm Goin' In!
BronzeMissableFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Attack a Racket without killing any Enforcers — the opposite of Softened 'Em Up.
Tip
⚠️ Missable for the same reason: use a different racket for this one, and go straight for the racket boss without touching the Enforcers.
Standard Communication Grid
BronzeFull guideCollapseWiretapped the Delray Hollow Smack Racket
Standard Communication Grid
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Wiretap the Delray Hollow smack racket. Once you start taking over a district you can wiretap its rackets, which reveals that area's collectibles, stashes and enemies on the map. This pops for the first wiretap, in Delray Hollow — unmissable as you play.
Tip
Wiretap every racket you clear: it's the fastest way to surface a district's collectibles for the collection trophies.
Recruited to 5th SFG
BronzeFull guideCollapsePerformed 5 headshots in 5 seconds
Recruited to 5th SFG
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Land 5 headshots in 5 seconds.
Tip
Line up a group of unaware enemies from cover with a fast-firing weapon, then take them one after another without pausing to re-aim.
Bon Appétit!
BronzeFull guideCollapseFed a body to an alligator
Bon Appétit!
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Feed a body to an alligator out in the bayou.
Tip
Carry a body to the water's edge in the swamp districts and drop it where an alligator is waiting.
Next Time Swim Faster
BronzeFull guideCollapseGot eaten by an alligator
Next Time Swim Faster
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Get eaten by an alligator. Head to the bayou rivers in the south of the map, wade or swim into the water and let a gator grab you. A quick, grim easter egg.
Tip
Bayou Fantom and the southern canals have the most reliable gator spawns; you'll respawn safely afterward.
Sending A Message
BronzeFull guideCollapseChained together 3 or more Brutal Takedowns
Sending A Message
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Chain 3 or more Brutal Takedowns together back to back.
Tip
Find a cluster of enemies close together and move straight from one heavy finisher into the next without being interrupted.
Code 112
BronzeFull guideCollapseStole a Police car
Code 112
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Steal a police car. Raise your wanted level until the NBPD show up, take out an officer, and jack their cruiser. Doing it deliberately (rather than mid-mission) keeps the fallout manageable.
Tip
Cause a little chaos on a quiet street at night so only one patrol responds, then take the car and lose the heat.
Insurance Risk
BronzeFull guideCollapseEscaped a Police Zone after being chased for 2 minutes
Insurance Risk
BronzeFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Escape a Police Zone after a 2-minute chase.
Tip
Keep moving and break line of sight rather than trying to outgun them; leaving the district's police zone entirely is what ends it.
Never Saw it Coming
BronzeMissableFull guideCollapseKilled an enemy within 2 seconds of kicking open a door
Never Saw it Coming
BronzeMissableFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Kill an enemy within 2 seconds of kicking open a door.
Tip
⚠️ Flagged missable because door-kick opportunities are tied to specific interiors — set it up deliberately during a racket assault rather than hoping it happens.
Flambé
BronzeMissableFull guideCollapseMade 10 enemies kill themselves with their own Molotovs
Flambé
BronzeMissableFull guideCollapseHow to earn it
Make 10 enemies kill themselves with their own Molotovs — shoot the bottle while they're winding up to throw.
Tip
⚠️ Missable in practice: only certain enemy types carry Molotovs. Watch for the wind-up animation and shoot the bottle in their hand. Take your time across the game rather than trying to force it late.
