How to unlock the Pin Cushion achievement in Crackdown 2 - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires that you pin five bodies to a vehicle. This is one of the tougher achievements in the demo, but its relatively easy in the full game. To actually get this achievement, you'll have to be at level 4 Firearms, or, have a friend die with a Harpoon Gun and take it after they respawn elsewhere.

Now, you must attach five bodies. Freak will not work since they turn to ash upon death, so this must be done on humans. Due note that it doesn't have to be Cell members you kill. Civilians will work fine. Also, the bodies you pin don't have to be alive to start with. It is perfectly acceptable to take five dead bodies and pin them to a vehicle.
If you opt to kill living people that larger vehicles work better.

The easiest and fastest way to get this achievement is to equip the harpoon gun. Take any car, doesnt matter which car. Drive around until you see some civs or cell members. Line up the shot with the car. You CAN drive the car while the bodies are still attached, I had to drive around for about 5 min to find the 4th and 5th person to pin to my car. This method is confirmed. Me and a few friends got this achievement with the above mentioned method.

I and someone else tried civilians and it didn't work for us. The achievement description specifically says enemies as well.

I Ended up pinning 3 civs and the achievement popped! I waited until it was night and pinned 2 cells dudes to their own car drive for a few min and found come civs and thought, why the hell not. In addition t you calling me a lair comment, other people have reported getting the achievement pinning some civs to a car. I kick my self in the ass for not taking a video to prove you wrong

civilians count, although the achievement states 'enemies', civ's DO count. Good tip about being able to drive around too, thumbs up!

Yep civilians definitely worked for me. Only advice I can add to everyone else's is be careful when reversing, sometimes the pinned bodies fall under the car and work their way loose.

Peacekeepers work also because I just now pinned 3 live Cell & 2 live Cops (of course they died) to my Cell vehicle & got the achievement.

This achievement was buggy for me. I pinned five, sometimes NINE people to a variety of vehicles on numerous occasions, using multiple game/agent saves, and it refused to pop no matter what I tried. A thread at XboxAchievements showed someone else having the same problem.

So, while I have nothing to add to the above solutions regarding this achievement's methodology (it's self-explanatory, though it bears repeating that this can be done using any combination of CELL, Peacekeepers and civilians), I'd like to offer my experience in case anyone else runs into this problem.

If you find this achievement refuses to pop in your game, let a co-op partner host and try it in their game. That's what finally did it for me.

You unlock the Harpoon Gun at Skill Level 5 in your Firearms skill. The best vehicles to use are big ones like the Agency SUV/Tank or Buses/Trucks. Don't pick up the vehicle because the enemies will fall off.
