Crackdown 2

You don't NEED 4 agents for this one (Thanks Spilner1001). But the more the better as you can use more weapons, and more eyes looking for enemies is always good.

All agents MUST stay in the same chopper for all 5 locations.

Start a new campaign and quickly complete the first two tactical locations, then turn the three absorption units on and drop the beacon.

Now that's out of the way you have 5 tactical locations that appear in a row.

Get a squad chopper with one guy in each seat preferably, the pilot, rocketeer and mine guy need to be pretty good. The turret (left hand side) is pretty much useless.

Now go and attack those locations. Hover high above the location and clear out all enemies (white triangles) from above. Now descend and get your mine guys to put mines on any doors/ choke points that you know enemies come through. The pilot needs to then hover just above the cirle and press back to activate. When you do, ascend a bit, but not too much or it'll leave the location. Unleash hell and get out of their as soon as you have it, otherwise you risk the peacekeeper choppers crashing in to you. When travelling between locations stay high to avoid random gunfire.

Rinse and repeat for the next four and the achievement is yours. This achievement is pretty difficult and relys heavily on your teammates not making a stupid move. I.E mining the chopper, pilot crashing etc etc...

Good luck!

Hey Guys, ok I created this Video for you to take you step by step through the entire process, Hopefully this guide will enlighten you and help you get this Achievements Thanks Gamers,

Thumbs Up :-)

Hi All,

There are a number of guides all well and good, but they miss important points. Here is a guaranteed way to unlock the achievement.

Firstly start a new campaign or even 2 and get to the point where you have completed the first 2 tac locations to unlock the 3 absorbtion unit locations and complete the beacon. Save and exit to dashboard

IMPORTANT:
1) Go into your System Settings, Storage and select the device you are saving your game to and make a copy of the CAMPAIGN (not Agent) you have got to the completed beacon, and copy this to your USB or iCloud device. This duplicate will then give you the ability of unlimited retries, if you mess up just delete the failed attempt and recopy from the original save. You can use all three slots but need to get all game saves to the completed beacon part. I personally used 2 and copied those across, but you need to get the extra slot(s) to the same point. This saves hours of tries and made practice easier for continuity.

2) Team Setup: I used a team of 3 people which I beleive is optimum, keeping fire of the 2x 50 cals guns on a main entrance for the cell, and the person on the rockets has the another entrance and mops up.

3) Tac Location selection (BIG HINT)
This is the killer and will give you the advantage in completing this. If like me you have completed the game and you have followed point 1 you should have all tac locations open to you, If not Start at a harder location and follow the below.

Now I didn't like the appartment building one so I avoided that, so I started at the Ferris wheel near the beach on the left island. The key here is you need to stay in the chopper to complete 5 tac locations, so the Ferris wheel location is full with cell. We cleared these out ON FOOT before starting the location. We got a chopper to spawn nearby, jumped in the chopper and you have a hard tac location clear and ready to START the first location. :o) Completely avoiding a lot of damage arriving in a chopper at a harder tac loc later on, this meant we had half health to finish the T junction area for our last Tac Location...

4) Practice: You all need to study where the cell spawn, keeping an eye on the triangles on the map on the bottom left is important especially for the rocket guy, and positioning of the chopper. We kept the chopper just above building height to keep the line of sight clear so you can see the cell spawn with the larger icons as the arrive from the building. We also kept slightly away from the centre so we didn't get too damaged. Don't worry if you Lose the location by being too high or far away, if the area becomes hot you can just pull up and kill the guys you may get swamped by and have a breather and return to the same tally of kills you had left.

Keep eyes on the last couple of kills and prepare to vacate the area immediately before the Agency choppers arrive. Stay high between tac locations, even by water it helps...

Who needs a video when you have me!! :o)

Best of Luck Agents! Please vote or comment if this has helped you - thanks!

Easiest to start a new campaign and do the first 5 cell locations. (actually, 3-7 because after the first 2 you have to capture 3 of the sunburst things and do the first beacon)

All 5 cell locations need to be captured without anyone leaving the chopper. Make sure the pilot is constantly moving to avoid damage while the other 3 level the place.

Also, when you clear out a cell location, make sure the pilot is not near the red "C" marker because the agency choppers come in quickly to take over and will crash into you...

You don't need 4 players to go for this achievement, if you're insanely good you could even go for it yourself, I wouldn't recommend it though, having more players back you up means you can take out the enemies much quicker.

The easiest locations to take down are the first ones available in game (minus the actual first 2), so start up a new game and rinse through the first part of the story, take over the first 2 locations and then go drop the beacon, protect it until it's fully operational etc, once you've done all of this go and get into a squad chopper, decide amongst you who is gonna do what, if you have 3 players or lower, really... really don't underestimate how useful the mine gun is, the first few times I just ignored it and we failed each time, once we had someone on the mine gun we did it first time, whoever is on the mine gun needs to learn the enemy spawn locations and keep shooting at them, there's never normally that many, that way as they spawn they'll just die.

Be careful though, if the person on the mine gun gets careless he can easily end up blowing the chopper up, try not to use the gun to close to the ground, you don't want the explosion blowing you up or any mines somehow getting stuck to the chopper!

I realise I've not covered the other weapons the chopper has, but those are much more obvious, have the player on the machine gun firing nearly all the time, same with story if you have a player on the rocket launcher, except he has to be more careful, you don't want to blow the chopper up accidentally! The pilot also has a more basic machine gun, it can only fire in the direction the chopper is facing but it can be useful in a tight spot!

This achievement can be really frustrating, but using these tips you should be able to get it with some practice.

I've linked in a video which shows some useful tips.
