Explorer Achievement in Mafia II
Explorer
10Drive a total of 1,000 miles in vehicles in "Jimmy's Vendetta."
How to unlock Explorer
You will likely have only driven around 150 miles by the time you finish the story. So this is likely to be a big grind. There are two options for grinding out all of these miles. The first option is the fastest, but is completely manual, meaning you'll need to be actively playing the entire time, which will be a solid 20 hours of doing nothing but driving. Head to the freeway (yellow road on map) and keep driving from one head to the other. You can get a good speed so will cover miles quicker. If you start running out of gas, just steal another car and carry on.
The second method involves using a glitch in the map. This method is slower, but allows you to idle the game so you can do something else (go to work, sleep, etc.) which you progress towards this achievement. There is a clothing store in the southwest corner of the map that has a window you can drive through. The car will break the display window and you will free fall through the bottom of the map. You can average about 30 miles every hour. The image below shows the location on the map of this shop. It says "Electronics" on a white sign above the window. After you drive through the window and start falling, know that you do still need to band your controller to hold down the gas pedal in order to accumulate miles driven. Also be aware that there are reports of the achievement not unlocking if 1000 miles are reached while in the glitch spot. Instead, get close (990 miles or more) and then save, and quit. Reload the game, and drive the remaining mileage legitimately, and the achievement should unlock. Lastly, in order to save your progress while in the glitch, pause the game, go to Options, and then Game Options, and turn subtitles on or off. This will force a save when you leave the menu, saving your statistics.
