I just had an idea, not sure if it would work. I was popping tires of 25 "Gang Controlled" Vehicles for the sub achievement for rampage. I got it easily in the Cowell Time Trial, the cars werent occupied in the garage, but they were still gang controlled because it counted to get the achievement. Will this work the same with Repo man you think?

I am pretty sure it only counts for Repo Man if you pull a gang member out of the driver's side and hop in. Essentially car jack them rather than merely steal the vehicle.

The easiest way I've found was to just replay the Diaz time trial over and over again. You can usually steal 5-6 cars each time and you can also max out your explosive, firearm, and strength stats.

go to Los Muertos there you will see alot of gang-members in cars and just run up to the car and push y at the car door.(remeber the gang-members hav to be in the car as you pull them out to get the achievement)

Yea i know how to get it and all that, this would just be a way easier way if it worked because theres 10 cars just sitting there that reload if you walk like ten feet away...

Quick question about the tire popper sub achievement. It says that you have to pop 20 tires in 60 seconds, does that mean 20 cars are all 4 tires on 5 cars?? because if you had to pop 20 cars fully, you would be popping 80 tires in 60 seconds.

^^ I'm almost positive it's just 5 cars.. 4 tires each on 5 cars, not 20 cars..
But speaking of which - they just have to be enemy controlled cars? Meaning can you go to the Diaz boss area and pop the tires of the cars in the garages? Or do enemies need to have been IN the car recently (ie. when hit squads come, when enemy cars drive past you on the streets, etc)

I don't think they have to be in the cars because they move way to fast when they are driving to get all 4 tires. Think I will try the Cowell time trail like listed above and do it there after I clear the area out.

You can do this on any gang controlled car with or without gang members in them. I did mine in a random garage, it was a quicky.

Thanks Tripl & exorr for the tip!
..and my dude - what's the problem if somebodys got a question about the game? Is it seriously bothering you THAT much that you need to take the time to state that there are already threads about this topic? Come on man.. just let everybody ask their questions, it doesn't matter how many threads are up about it - if it's been asked 100 times, and you don't feel like answering it no more then just ignore the thread

Nice
Anyway, this achievement is pissing me off. I've been playing Diaz' time trial for well over an hour, and still haven't gotten it. I'm making sure that I pull the guy out of the car, and then drive a few feet in drive/reverse before getting out. Am I just impatient, or am I doing it wrong?
Edit: Damn that took too long... ;)

What I think sucks is you can't tell how many moreyou needin the game. It would be nice if the menu told your stats and how many more you need to complete an achievement...
Stupid orbs!

Yea, they should of had a way to check your stats like in GTA, even the pointless stuff like total kills and all that.

Do you have to drive the car a little bit or just pull them out?
..and true to the people sayin they need to keep a counter or somethin.. at least put under the subachievements "50% Completed" or somethin so you know you're at least half way there

You just have to pull them out. It also works pulling them out of the passenger side.

Right, I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing this right - I've been doing Diaz's time trial for nearly 3 hours, getting 5 or 6 cars each time, and finishing the time trial after about 1 min 15 secs. Using a calculator, that means I should have comandeered about 720 cars by now, but the achievement is still not unlocking!!
All I'm doing to going up to any car with somebody in it, and holding Y until I'm actually in the car, then driving for a few seconds. This is right isn't it??
Edit: I stand corrected, the next time I did it, I got the achievement.

You just have to make sure that you actually yank them out, or watch them fall out of the other door on the ground. If they come out standing up, then they got out on their own, and it won't count.

I hate this achievment, I just cant get it. I've been told that the car has to glow red, but when it does and i pull the guy out it glows blue. Such as boring, time consuming task.

Their probly getting out by themselves. Try not shooting and they wont get out and attack you. Other then that, yea its a dumb achievement.

try getting the achievement by doing the timbol time trial, i found it much easier than the diaz time trial because on the timbol there are gang cars driving around the whole time.
you also dont have to reload the whole time coz the cars keep respawning
you can easily get 30-40 repo in 10min so it will take you just over 20mins to get the achievement.

Should be easier now. With the latest game update they "increase the amount of ambient gang controlled vehicles".
