All you have to do is complete the story mode. The last 3 missions can be fairly hard because the difficulty just seems to shoot up. So here are some tips for each of them:

Taking out the garbage Vol. 1 – Alright, you want this to be nice and easy so there are two things you can do. First, while you’re in your helicopter you can jump to an enemy helicopter from the one you’re in. Watch for the red arrow on the map and when it gets close by look for the button. Once you’re in it, fly to your mission area and destroy the enemy tank as fast as you can.
The other way is to jump down into the water and ride your boat to the beach. Once you’re there, clear out the area and grapple onto an enemy helicopter. You can do it the hard way by running all the way there, but there are a lot of tanks that’ll give you a hard time.

Taking out the garbage Vol. 2 – You’re going to steal a jet here and hunt down some cruise missiles. All you have to do is follow the missiles and destroy them. I have one suggestion; do not let your jet blow up. The next segment is bloody hard without the jet. So I suggest you to keep your jet alive until Vol. 3 so you don’t have to use a gyrocopter or steal a jet/helicopter.

Taking out the garbage Vol. 3 – You’ll have to catch up with el presidente’s airplane. All you have to do is use your jet to hang over the left side of his jet or above it and go into stunt position. Once you’re there, a button will show up that’ll allow you to jump to the plane. Once you’re in start taking out people. Eventually you’ll go into a sky diving contest with el presidente. You’ll have to plant an explosive on him. Dive down to him but you’ll have to slow down so you don’t pass him. When you get close to him, press to plant the explosive. This will take a few tries, but you’ll get a hang of it eventually.

Protector of the People

Liberate 22 Provinces In San Esperito

See “Saviour of San Esperito” for details.

Saviour of San Esperito

Liberate Every Province In San Esperito

Scattered around the country you sill see light blue house icons with a green exclamation icon nearby. This shows the settlement is currently occupied by the government, and in need of liberation. This set of achievements depends on the liberation of the provinces, not the settlement. Some provinces only have 1 settlement, some have 3 or so. Liberate all needed settlements to free the province. By pressing

and going to the political map, you can see how close to liberation the province is by seeing how full the green bar is.

In order to begin your liberation go to the green marker to see your guerrilla contact. He will be a happy looking gentleman waving at you surrounded by large amounts of ammunition. Go up to him and press

to begin the liberation of the settlement.

There will be two different types of ways to liberate a settlement, depending on the size of the settlement you are liberating. Smaller rural towns and government bases will all follow the same pattern. First eliminate enemy soldiers. After a sufficient amount have been eliminated, you will be directed to destroy the enemy barricade, which will be shown on your map by the red marker. This can be destroyed by a single rocket, or by two grenades. After the first barricade is eliminated, continue to kill troops until prompted to destroy the second barricade. The same pattern continues until all 3 barricades have been destroyed. Once the third falls, you will be prompted to take down the enemy flag. Walk up to the flag, and press

to switch flags, and this will complete the liberation as a victory for the rebels. As you progress through the liberation, you will see a bar on your screen with green on one side to blue on the other. This bar shows the progress of your liberation. As you get closer to green, your victory becomes closer.

The second type of liberation only occurs in larger urban cities. There you will have just an open war against government troops. In this type of conflict, the progress bar will be very important, because it will be your only means of knowing how you are doing. As soon as the progress bar is all the way to the green side, you will be prompted to switch flags. Follow the red marker on you map, and press

to claim your victory.

This is the drug cartel equivalent of the guerrilla liberation achievements. Scattered around the map you will see purple icons with a yellow exclamation mark nearby. This is a cartel settlement that needs to be taken over. The form of the takeover will be the same as the form of a liberation for a small town, with the three sets of barricades, except now instead of changing flags, you need to kill the subtiente.

If you unlocked the Jackson Skreemer or Chimera military helicopters, your job will be very easy. Take the helicopter, and land near the takeover contact outside of the settlement. Get out and run up to him, and press

to begin the takeover. Run back to you helicopter and take off. Begin firing rockets at anything that will move by pressing

. These two type of helicopters are equipped with rockets, so if you aren't firing them, press

to cycle through your weapons.

The game should automatically acquire targets for you that are noted by a white circle. This will work to your advantage, because it will automatically target the cartel troops. When you get the message to go after the barricades, there are usually troops hiding behind it, so rocketing them will blow up the barricade as well. If the barricade is alone, you also have a targeting cross hairs, and just aim for the red target on your map, which will have a flashing red arrow on the actual screen. After all three barricades are taken out, you will be given the order to eliminate the subtiente. He will appear usually on the 2nd floor balcony of the mansion. After shooting a rocket at him, the takeover will be a success; you will never even need to get out of your chopper. Then fly on to the next purple marker, and restart the process again.

While this strategy works very well for the cartel takeover missions, it fails for the government liberation missions, because the government troops are equipped with rocket launchers and will shoot you out of the sky, so if you try this tactic on those missions, take great care to not get shot down.
