How to unlock the The Blender achievement in Crackdown 2 - Definitive Guide

Achievement can be, and is a lot more easily obtained in Campaign mode:

1) Start a fresh campaign
2) Call in Squad Chopper (Toy Box DLC)
3) Proceed to "The Quary" located in the NE section of Hope Springs
4) Hover above the lower part of the quarry, waiting for night time, watch as the number of Freaks slowly increases, let them stack up quite a bit.
5) Once enough Freaks have appeared go to furtherest side of the highest tier and lower the chopper to about ground level.
6) Proceed to strafe sideways letting the blades of the chopper cut apart the Freaks, watching out for the wall and piles of rocks/rubble.
7) After you have completed one level move down to the next and proceed to strafe to the opposite side until you get to the very bottom strafing back and forth. If you have not managed to obtain the achievement still, proceed to the middle of the quarry where it shows a winding road leading from the upper level to the lower there should be plenty of zombies there to help finish off the last few stragglers.

Keep in mind it may feel like you've murdered hundreds of them but don't let your guard down just keep chopping away until it pops. Although glitched when I did it, the narrator should mention something about "holding onto that orb" and with that the achievement should follow. I tried using the agency choppers but I didn't manage to get it using them, that may have just been me but I stuck with the DLC Squad Chopper and it worked fine.

Here's a good video by T0b3, all credit goes to him, but to give you an idea.

The Agency choppers work just fine too. Also, I didn't bother with the higher tiers and just started at the bottom of the quarry, trying to fly sideways at all times. Took a couple of tries but it was still easier to do it here rather than elsewhere in the city as I found the Cell kept getting in the way.

Note that if you don't have any freaks in your own game b/c you finished everything (like I did) you can jump into someone else's game and do it there.

Personally I find 'Unity Heights (South)' the best place for this. I tried the quarry area and it wasnt working for me so I spawned with the toy box chopper at the agency tower, waited until it was night then flew over to unity heights where there were hundreds of freaks on the road. I just dropped the chopper so it was just above the ground then strafed along chopping up some freaks.
Took a couple of tries as cars tend to get in the way and sometimes it would become daytime but I thought I'd just share how I went about getting this as I know some people are having trouble with it.

I really struggled with this one. I found that you have to as low as the chopper can go and strafe sideways to have the blade kills count. I hope that helps.

+1 to the very lowest part of the quarry, around the buildings.

Another +1 to lowest part of the quarry. Also +1 to going sideways...I tried for hours going forward and boosting because it seemed like I was killing more that way, but even though I saw nothing but hundreds of green explosions it never popped. 30 minutes after switching to sideways movements, I got it. Oh, and you don't have to go to someone else's game if there isn't one available, you can always just start up a new campaign. Although at that point you have to sit through the opening commentary, which is about 30 seconds but feels like 10 minutes.

Frustrating achievement. Felt like it should have taken much less time than it did, and the run I did pop it on felt like my worst run in an hour.

Just keep at it and you'll eventually get it. Make sure the freaks turns into mists of green when you do kill them, in order to make it count towards the achievement.

This achievement seems so random. I flew a squad chopper right at ground level in the Shai Gen area an entire in-game night and minced a shitload of freaks but never got this achievement. I try this method and unlock it after strafing about 50 feet on a quarry level then blowing up by accident because the nose of the squad chopper hit a rock.

this achievement is very clearly bugged been using the squad chopper and used a timer and cleared several floors with my blades before the minute ran out and still didn't get it

Crackdown 2 Deluge DLC The Blender Achievement - Kill 60 Freaks in 60 seconds with a helicopter blade.

Hold Left Thumbstick in the diagonally up position. Keep tapping the Left Bumper to keep the helicopter from going higher if needed. I had better luck at this area on the map rather than the quarry.

You should clear out the cell around the area but not any freak lairs so you have an abundance of freaks on the street.

Good luck. Hopefully this helps someone else.

Good deal! Works better than the quarry as you don't have the greater chance of crashing.

Took me FOREVER trying to get it in the quarry. Ok so it was only 9 tries but still.

I jumped up to the north island, took out the Cell compounds and then started killing with the chopper. before I got hit by a cell truck. then spawned a new chopper and after about 4 seconds (and crashing it again) the achievement popped.

Works better than the quarry as I kept crashing the Chopper in the quarry.

Just got this achievement using kewlniss' solution above. Just wanted to add a few things:

- Be sure you've downloaded the Premium Deluge Pack or you will NOT be able to earn this achievement.
- I found it beneficial to wipe out all the Cell strongholds. I initially tried to get to get this achievement without doing so, and the Cell would purposely drive into my chopper casuing it to crash. You may still encounter Cell on the street after wiping out the Cell strongholds, if so activate some (or all) of the Absortion Units. Once I did, I rarely encountered Cell during my nighttime freak blender runs.
- DO NOT DEPLOY/DETONATE THE BEACONS, or you'll eliminate the freak populations neaby the deployed beacon.
- When ground strafing in the chopper, push the left thumbstick LIGHTLY to the upper left. I tend to button mash, and this predilection made it much more difficult to control the chopper. A lighter touch works much better.
