How to unlock the Drive-by achievement in Call of Juarez: The Cartel - Definitive Guide
Ensure you choose a sniper rifle, accuracy is the key. If you spray the car with bullets it will explode and the people who are blown up inside don't count toward the achievement.
Also, choosing Kim helps as she has the best ability from long range.
May take 2-5 attempts based on skill but you'll get it eventually.
If you use this solution and the other level 6 solution (PJDONNELLY1) then you should get it prob on your second character playthrough.
The car was just at the entry of a car park that you should go through on foot. I jumped in the drivers seat and pressed right to jump across to the passenger seat, then once more to pop your body out the window.
You know when you are in the car I mean because if you drive the car across the parking lot then you will crash into lots of stuff. First thing you drive into if I remember is a big trash bin.
Once you have shot the enemies and are ready to drive further, press left on your analog stick until you are back in the driver's seat.
You should probably do this on easy as you will be a sitting duck for the most part and will take a lot of damage.
In Chapter 5, once you have to collect the money and take it to the car, you can sit there and kill loads. Here is how.
- Play on easy with any character.
- Build your Concentration Mode up.
- Activate Concentration Mode and reload checkpoint (now you are pretty much invincible).
- Get to the point in the video below - your car has crashed.
- Kill the first group of enemies until you can collect the money.
- Take the money to the getaway car but kill no one else.
- Get in the car and press to change to the passenger side.
- Lean out of the window and fire (many will spawn in front of you)
- Rinse and repeat as necessary. All progress is saved, even if you die.
If you are playing the campaign by yourself then the first chance you get for this will be on Chapter 6. However, if are playing co-op then make the sure other player drives while you shoot. For every 10 kills you will get a blue icon on the bottom right corner of the screen showing “Drive by x/50”, which will tell you of your progress. This is a little tricky, though - if you shoot at the vehicle and it explodes it will not count towards this trophy. You must aim & shoot at the windshield and the windows of enemy vehicles (Hummer & SUV) in order to kill the enemies inside the vehicle. There are roughly about 2 to 3 enemies per vehicle. Keep replaying this chapter until the trophy is unlocked.
For this to count you must be in the passenger seat. Lean out the window by pressing the left stick in the left or right dependent on which seat you’re sitting in. Shooting enemies through the windows of cars will count. In single player this can be obtained easily on Chapter 6 in the section where you’re with “Jess Stone” and you’re being driven around. You will be being chased by numerous enemies in vehicles, upon getting on the train tracks, reload your checkpoint and repeat above.
