If you see any mistakes, make sure to let me know so I can edit it.

Two words, racket trucks.

The game has a never ending supply of mobsters if you go after the racket trucks.

Ohh yeaa! I totally forgot about those, thanks man.

Where Do You Find The Tire Iron?

[Kmoney roc]

im trying these executions but some of them just repeat. any idea?

[TuSeMorte]

I found the tire iron in the garage areas of fronts. Usually on top of crates or near the loading dock like platform.

[xCOBRAx TheFury]

Yea Thanx. Found It. Also, I Got All The Execution Styles Done. :)

[TuSeMorte]

Way to go.

I had fun getting that achievement, except throwing mobsters infront of the cars and getting it to register.

[xCOBRAx TheFury]

yea i thought that was gonna be hard but it only took me like 15min.

[Prius Owner]

Best guide for excution styles out there.

[JJ UK]

Thanks much Razz, I only needed 2 or 3 more executions and this helped alot

[JoeCool7835]

The barehanded and weapon executions have two each; which one you do depends on whether your victim is standing or kneeling.

[Elite Hero]

[poulpy72]

HELP i cant find a lead pipe 4 'Wrenched execution'

If I remember correctly, you've got one in your room in the safehouse on Pitt St. in Little Italy

[poulpy72]

Razzleson, I must thank you VERY much for your guide!!! I just got my Executioner achievement yesterday by accomplishing the last execution I had left to do....throw someone in the oven...hehehe...cool one!

Without you I would never have done it!!

Thanks dude!! That was a great guide!!:rock

[The Mars Army]

Great guide. The traffic accident is the only one i have left

[Tricka21]

Can someone please give me some advice on where i could get the STAINED GLASS EXECUTION (the one where you throw them through the glass) thanks in advance.

[Fonkey Monkey]

Can someone please give me some advice on where i could get the STAINED GLASS EXECUTION (the one where you throw them through the glass) thanks in advance.

i did it like this: go to take over a warehouse and kill all but one, and then just keep throwing him back and forth the window( in front of the warehouse)

[Tricka21]

Sweet nice one dude worked like a charm. Could you also possibly give me some advice on where i can attain the TIRE IRON. Thanks in advance

[Diamond78]

If you need help on how to get one execution ask me and I'll give you some tips.

The hardest one was the traffic one, the bottle also because you have to make sure that the gangster as enough health to die wen you'll throw the bottle on him.

[Pocrage]

Nevermind I found a shovel, thanks anyway guys

[matt320]

how do you strangle someone with your bare hands for the last gasp excution

[MEA7HOOK]

how do you strangle someone with your bare hands for the last gasp excution

Use LT to lock onto a mobster, then hit RT to grab hold of him. While still holding him, click and hold both the right joystick and the left joystick (L3 and R3) simultaneously. You should begin strangling your opponent and his health bar will slowly drain. Be sure to keep R3 and L3 pressed until he is dead. There is a mission where you have to kill mobsters using the strangle for a "silent" kill as to not alert others, so you can get a strangle kill when you reach that point in the game if your stats aren't built up enough yet.

[matt320]

ya im 49level and own everthing but i couldent remember how thanks

[dannyfortuna]

does anyone know where i can find a wrench and 2x4 they are the only executions i need and i cant seem to find those weapons

[MEA7HOOK]

Currently looking for the wrench also, but the 2x4 is that piece of wood that is on fire. You can find one by blowing up any of the barrels that already have fires lit inside them. One location would be behind your original safehouse in Little Italy, where you can cut through the alley to get to the back entrance.

A video walkthrough of Traffic Accident Execution
-YouTube-

[Lord Brutal]

This guy deserves a pat on the back. And that video aint working :(

[jmoser1]

This guy deserves a pat on the back. And that video aint working :(
I agree with you on how this guide really helps but the video works for me!!!

[Slice0226]

Try to get a Gangster on a corner, low health, and just throw him....took me a couple of trys, eventually you will get it

[Lord Brutal]

Yeah I done it on the third time of trying :P there is another video walk through but it requires you to not own certain places.

[RockstarSuicide]

Sweet guide dude.

If I were to add something, based on a bunch of the replies, I'd add a location to the melee weapon location needed for the execution :)

[trendypenguin]

how do you slam a mobsters head onto a counter

[trendypenguin]

wheres the wrench

[trendypenguin]

does anyone know where i can find a wrench and 2x4 they are the only executions i need and i cant seem to find those weapons dude you use a lead pipe its messed up

[trendypenguin]

sweet all executions thx great list and thanks to the people who had post the had information thanks

[RockstarSuicide]

how do you slam a mobsters head onto a counter

Hold him, stand next to the counter and tilt the left joystick in the counter's direction... It should pop up above you when you're in position.

Pipe ("Wrench"): Safehouse on Pitt Street
Shovel: Cemetary behind any church
2x4: Shoot flaming barrels around town
Police club: wait till a cop pulls it out to kill him and get it
Bat: most safehouses



That bottle execution is gonna be the death of me lol

[RockstarSuicide]

Just got the Bottle Execution!!!

If I can give a tip for this. Go to Midtown. The name escapes me but it's the northmost Barzini safehouse on 5th (closest to that bank). Buy the safehouse and save. Don't take the racket!!! When you go into the lobby, there will always be the lone Barzini Capo standing around. Strangle him to a sliver of life and go to the wine rack in the corner... Pelt him with bottles until he dies!

Took me a few attempts because I was too close and always grabbed him instead of throwing.

[Danillo llic]

I never could get all of those

[Capt Beau]

*laughs at his newbie self*

Ok I got the Traffic execution by sheer luck before on the regular xbox....now I have been going through the 360 and can't get it.....tried the corner throw thing about 5 times and I am just getting mad at myself...something so easy is so goram hard!

[JLogan27]

I got the Traffic one by sheer luck as well...I didn't even do it, my hired goon did (I guess).

I pull up to a business to take it over...they immediately start shooting at me. I make a run for it up the stairs. As I am doing it, the Traffic Execution pops up on my screen! I pause and double check and, sure enough, it was done....somehow. I had a hired gun at the time out in the street during the shoot-up, I guess he did it.

[Capt Beau]

Yeah he could have been shooting and one goon ran out into traffic.....


I sort of followed the video. But I stood on the "other" corner and threw the goon. I might say this was after 12 times of trying it and going back and forth with COD 4 to get my frustration out. Anyway I did it and have all the execution styles. And all the "favors". Now just need to work on the hits and buisnesses/wherehouses ect.....

[Gaige07]

i only have two more execution styles but ive already killed all the familys ive done everything all i need is silent assassin and stain glass i know about racket trucks and the one guy in the shop that kills the women with the shotgun hes in there all the time

i cant find any mobster to do the silent assassin on i cant sneak up on the racket truck guys or the guy in the shop i need help

can anyone help me or tell me what to do?

[Gaige07]

all i need ot do is silent assassin but i cant find a mobster to do it on because im at 85% in the game and ive killed all the families i know about the guy with the shot gun in the flowershop in midtowen and i know about the racket trucks but i cant sneak up on them to use the garrote wire

any help?

[JLogan27]

I remember seeing mobsters around the gun upgrade guys. Try one of those spots.

[Gaige07]

I remember seeing mobsters around the gun upgrade guys. Try one of those spots.

thanks alot i dont know if they will be there because i have all of the upgrades but they are level 4 i dont think ibought any level three upgrades or two

but anyway im pretty mad because i tried getting silent assassin a few minutes ago and i would have succedded had it not been for the guys that are by the extorted bussiness like i got a racket truck on the corner of a street and when the guys got out i drove around the block came up behind them and got them with teh garrote wire then one up my guys just ran up and blasted him with a shotgun and i didnt get it cuz thats what killed him im really mad

[Gaige07]

yeah never mind i found a favor i dodnt d and it was one that you have to sneak up on them and use a garrote wire to kill them

[its delicious]

See, I would have thought that using the guy from the trucks from the traffic execution wouldn't work so well, because of the ruckus in the middle of the street caused by getting the driver out of the truck in the first place.

There should be a caveat in any execution styles guide to get the traffic accident execution as soon as possible. Really, it's the most difficult thing to do in the entire game.

[_DaNnY_]

For anyone havin trouble gettin the cocktail hour execution you dont have to kill them with molotovs exclusively, if you see an enemy by a barrel filled with fire shoot the barrel, it will kill them and you'll get the execution that way as well. :)

For the bottle execution there is a hit where as a special condition you have to kill the tagglateli son with a bottle, hes in a marketplace surrounded by bottles so kill all his goons with a level 3 shotgun (if you have it, or your most powerful gun) then proceed to beat him up till his health flashes, then just grab bottles, target him n keep throwin them until he's dead... you get the bonus respect/money and the execution all in one go, ofcourse if you already did this hit without fulfilling the bonus condition then your too late to get the execution here but incase you havnt done it yet keep doing the hits from the yellow dot in brooklyn, the last hit mission which you get from the brooklyn yellow dot is where u get the bottle execution, you wont miss it as you're told to kill the tagglateli son and the bonus condition will be kill with a bottle. Hope this helps :)

[angel8192]

Is there any sort of easier way to get the traffic accident style. i've bin trying to do it now for at least an hour and evey time i get close i get killed, the other mobster gets killed or some of my guys come out and spoil the party. i own everywhere and all families gone. i know about using the racket trucks but it doesnt seem to be working coz of the hassle caused by the truck wen u stop it so no other cars appear. this is the second last thing i have to do and its really doing my head in. any help?? cheers in advance

[I UnderTaker I]

how can i get the silent assassin execution....i own everything and the only way i can get any mobsters is the trucks... can anyone help me please.

[its delicious]

quickest way, seriously, is probably to just start a new game. i did it, wasn't too bad. leveling up was easy, and it made the execution achievement a breeze... if that means you need to do the traffic one again, then sucks for you.

[Chop tops plate]

Is there any 1 place that you can find a baton? I am having problems. last 2 executions are with the baton and I have killed cops and they aren't dropping any.

Are you shooting the cops? Because they'd be shooting back and probably dropping guns, not batons. Try fist-fighting if you haven't yet.

[Chop tops plate]

Thank You very much!! Just got the achievement. now I guess I will go rob banks till I hit 50.

[himalaybarad]

thx 4 all da ex-styles man..helps loadz!!!...
