ATTENTION: A better collaboration of all the challenges and challenges can be found in the other Challenge guide HERE. (http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=343912)Tripleb2k and I have come to an agreement to merge all of my methods into the other thread. This way it will be easier to discuss challenges and see all the easiest methods in one thread instead of two.
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD, POST IT IN THE OTHER THREAD WHICH IS LINKED ABOVE.
Basejumps Nailed -Complete 15 Base Jumps-
Go to the top of Saints Row HQ and jump off the right side of the helipad. Activate your parachute and then push http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to activate the Basejump minigame which will make a circle appear that you have to land in. If you always jump off the right hand side of the helipad, the circle will always appear right in front of Saints Row HQ. Keep landing in the circle and heading back up to the helipad to jump off again.
Big Air Distance -Jump A Total Of 5,000 FT-
Head out the main door of Saints Row HQ and head left towards the bridges. If you're far enough in the game, they should be raised and you can keep using them as ramps. Just keep going back and forth over the bridges. NOS will help you make longer jumps.
Boats Destroyed -Destroy 25 Boats-
It doesn't matter if the boats are vacant or occupied. You can buy the Rondini's Boat Dock crib on the middle portion of the island to easily complete this challenge since boats will spawn there after you buy it. Destroy the boats and head back to Saints Row HQ and go up the elevator. When you make it back to the Docks, all the boats should have spawned again.
Cars Destroyed -Destroy 300 Cars-
Destroy any vehicle with whatever you see fit. Every single car you see, whether its parked or not, will count towards this total. It should come from natural gameplay, but if you want it out of the way quickly, it can be easily boosted in Heli Assault and Tank Mayhem.
Car Jackings -Hijack 250 Cars-
Run up to cars while running and press :ybut: . Only cars with drivers will count towards this challenge so hijack them whenever you see fit. This is also another challenge that should come from natural gameplay.
Car Torpedo Total Damage -Cause 2,000 Damage-
To perform a car torpedo, simply jump out of any speeding vehicle. The damage will be added to the total whenever your car crashes into any pedestrian or object. You can also add to your damage total by simply jumping out of your car before it rams into a wall. Maximize the damage by going to the airport and speeding down the runways and smacking straight into the wall. Just make sure to jump out first!
Compliments Paid -Pay 50 Compliments-
Run up to any civilian, police officer, or gang member not running away or fighting and push http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/rightdpad.png . You don't have to wait until the end of the compliment animation. Once the person reacts, it will count as a compliment. Just be sure to bump into them if they're reading the newspaper, smoking or any other activity so they're focused on you.
Decker Specialists Killed -Kill 50 Decker Specialists-
Decker Specialists are the female Deckers that run rapidly and teleport everywhere. They tend to spawn if you raise your Decker notoriety to 3 or 4 stars. When they start appearing try to ram them with a vehicle to knock them over and start emptying your SMG clips into them from the safety of your vehicle. If they get back up, knock em back down again.
Distance Traveled -Travel 2,500,000 FT-
A cumulative total of how far you must travel. Everything you do such as Flying, Driving and Sprinting count towards this challenge. The easiest way is to speed down the interstate in the Temptress or fly through the skies in a F-69 VTOL.
Emu's Destroyed -Destroy 50 Emu's-
Emu's are the tiny little vans that seat two. They will appear randomly throughout the world, but are in no sense rare. When you find one hijack it and go save it to your garage. Once it's saved, bring it outside and blow it to smithereens. Head back into the garage and bring it out again bring it the cruel fate that it deserves. Keep repeating.
Gang Members Taunted -Taunt 50 Gang Members-
Run up to any rival gang member you're not in combat with and press http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/leftdpad.png . Hostile gang members may add to the total count, but it is an overall unreliable source for this challenge. Each gang member you taunt must be different so don't single out one small group. It's best to drive around looking for gang members walking along the streets since if you stop a car full of them, they won't get out unless you attack them. Easily to do this early on since gang members start to become scarce later in the game. If you are towards the end of the game, try to a co-op game in hopes of getting a connection of someone that is near the beginning. Their world will have more gang members than yours will.
Gang Operations Defeated -Defeat 32 Gang Operations-
The Gang Operations are represented by icons of a fist. They will not show up on your map until you get close enough for them to be added. You can tell where you are missing operations by the gray areas on your map. Drive around these areas until you see a large group of enemies and start fighting. Be aware that a few of these Operations are on rooftops so you should fly around looking for these. To complete these operations, you are to kill every targeted gang member. They can easily be done with any aerial vehicle, but I found the F-69 VTOL to be the most effective.
Grenade Kills -Kill 50 Enemies With Grenades-
You will be given an infinite amount of grenades in the Mayhem Activities. Throw your grenades at every officer and gang member that approaches you to quickly boost this challenge.
Headshots -Get 500 Headshots-
You can easily headshot your enemies by zooming in on them with the Shepherd pistol. Every headshot will kill the enemy in one hit so line up your shots and make them count. Can only be done on rival gang members and police officers.
Helicopters Destroyed -Destroy 60 Helicopters-
Helicopters will appear when you get a high notoriety for the Police and Morningstar. They can easily be taken down with a Tank, F-69 VTOL, or RPG's.
Hoods Explored -Explore 18 Hoods-
This challenge will come from natural game progression while you complete the story missions, activities and challenges. If you're in a hurry, you can fly around the city in any aerial vehicle. Each Hood on this map has at least one crib, property or store so you can fly over most of them for the challenge
Hostages Taken -Take 50 Hostages-
Look for any vehicle with a passenger and hijack the vehicle. You will be given a prompt to start a Hostage mini-game where you have to escape from the cops for a certain amount of time. You do not need to finish the mini game, just jump out of the car, get back in and activate the mini game again.
Human Shields Used -Use 50 Human Shields-
Go in front of any Planet Saints and you'll see plenty of your gang members standing around outside. Stand close to them, press :ybut: to grab them and press it again throw them into the store's wall. While one gang member is trying to recover from his head traumas, grab another and throw them into the wall. They take a while to die from throwing them and you will not gain any notoriety since they're members of your gang.
Kill Brutes -Kill 30 Brutes-
Brutes will appear once you raise your Morningstar or Luchadore notoriety level. They are massive enemies that can have a large amount of health and can take you out relatively quickly. However they can be taken down quickly with any form of explosives. You can also go into most Professor Genki's Reality Climax to find an infinte number of mini-gun wielding Brutes. You do not need to push http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/misc/y.png to finish them off
