How to unlock the Lockdown Legend achievement in Crackdown 3: Campaign - Definitive Guide

Survive the city lockdown Niemand starts once you eliminate the last of the 5 underbosses (as in, Berg, Roxy, Keita, Khan and Sorensen) I had bad luck with Roxy as my last underboss as her tower was a bit difficult to defend. I'd consider either a different boss as your final one or immediately leave for the ground once you terminate the final underboss. Make sure you are somewhere you can defend with easy reloads as its a pretty heated battle. There are reports that the 'final' lockdown can be triggered by one of Niemand's direct underlings as well - so YMMV with which lockdown pops the achievement.

If you didn't survive the 'story mode' lockdown, you can trigger the final (achievement related) lockdown by picking a battle with one of the faction groups and pulling that battle to another group of faction enemies (not the easiest to do in practice as this means you need 2 different kinds of enemies on you and they don't typically spawn near each other. Additionally, you can trigger this lockdown again by listening for word of a supply convoy in your area. Be armed appropriately and take it on! Do not relent. Keep destroying unit after unit the city is put in lockdown. Survive this lockdown and you'll unlock the achievement. I was near the Chem plant but you can presumably find convoys anywhere on the map. It does not matter if you've removed Niemand or not. The achievement related lockdown will happen regardless.

Spazpol suggested stealing a tank as the added firepower makes easy work of the forces sent at you.

keung noted that if you are playing in co-op and your partner dies, this will void the attempt. Neither you nor your partner can die.

Then start looking for the convoys if you didn't eliminate Niemand yet. Were you in co-op? As noted, your partner can't die either.

Ahh, I hadn't yet killed Neimand which is why I was able to get this perhaps.

I tried this in my completed world and it didn’t work.

So I think there are 3 options:

1. Surviving all lockdowns and getting as part of the story
2. If you die/fail the story lockdown and have killed all bosses with the exception of Neimand you manually trigger a lockdown (based on your experience)
3. If you’ve killed Niemand, start a new world and do boss rush to get the lockdown triggered again

Can anyone 100% confirm that if you die during the final lockdown, you can still get this achievement? And that is by causing a new lockdown.
And how do you trigger a manual lockdown?
Thanks

As I said above:
If like me you didn't survive that one, you can trigger this again by picking a fight and sticking your guns later on. Every now and then you'll hear about a supply convoy in your area. Be armed appropriately and take it on! Do not relent. Keep destroying unit after unit until Niemand puts the city in lockdown. Survive this lockdown and you'll unlock the achievement.

Just to clarify, I have completed the game and killed all the bosses, if I were to just start a new game and get the city on a Lockdown from the get go, would I be able to pop this achievement or do I need to kill the bosses again first?

MavericK XVII: I'm not sure, and I don't think my experience offers a clue. At the time, I hadn't yet faced Niemand, Vargas, or Sorenson. I was just grinding out my sixth levels, so it came as a surprise. However, considering the achievement specifies the final lockdown, I assume it's somehow different from the others. But in what way?

All reports are that if you cleared the game entirely in the world - including Niemand, you need to do a boss rush in a new world. If you are getting convoys in your world after eliminating Niemand, you may be in luck.

The last sub-boss (as in, the 5 smaller ones) is the one that triggers the story mode lockdown, not the final 3.

You are in my shoes and now need to get one of those convoys and just keep hammering at it until Niemand puts the city in lockdown. I was near Keita's Chem plant though I assume they appear all over the map.

Guide is correct, problem was that my coop partner died during our initial attempt laugh Tried again without dying, and of course that did it. Got downed once, though, but that didn't void the achievement.

I died during the final lockdown and for some reason wasn't getting any convoys to trigger prior to the final boss fight. I tried manually starting a fire fight with all factions and after about an hour gave up as nothing happened.

I ended up saying screw it and just killed the final boss- but now I have convoys everywhere. I'm going to try and see what happens if I shoot up a convoy after Niemand is eliminated, probably nothing but worth a shot. Will keep you all posted.

It's glitched for me. Niemand is NOT dead. I DON'T play in co-op. I survived the final lockdown. I triggered a lockdown by fighting enemies and survived that. I don't understand why I don't have the achievement.

Apostle92627, its possible the achievement is stuck. Use the Xbox achievement app (or even better as its reported to work more consistently - the Windows 10 Xbox app) and browse to the game. If its stuck, just hitting the correct game page seems to loosen things. Worth a shot.

You are where I was. Look around for a convoy (you'll see 3 blips on the radar and hear the Director talk about it) and take it out. Keep on it and you'll trigger a full lockdown which popped the achievement for me.

Also, I triggered a lockdown by killing random enemies instead of fighting a convoy, though it's certainly easier to fight the convoy. However, if there isn't one around just kill enough enemies to get to level 1 wanted warning.

just got this today, i died during the story opportunity. When i got it today only Niemand was left alive, i attacked a convoy and got the lockdown, no cutscene appeared. I cleared the enemies and got the achievement. So to confirm as long as you have niemand alive you can trigger it by attacking the convoy...

So, it sounds like:
* If I've killed all the bosses, including Niemand
* I have to destroy a convoy which will trigger a level 3 lockdown
* Then kill every thing until the lockdown ends (can I go and hide somewhere?)
* Once lockdown ends the chv will pop?

- If you've completed the game and removed Niemand, reports are that you need to do this in a new world and rush all of the bosses directly to get the lockdown to trigger, not just the underbosses.

Just like S7uPIdI7Y, I’d finished the game, killing all bosses including Niemand, and died during the last lockdown. So I figured I’d missed the achievement, so I’ve just been doing races, etc. But I noticed that whenever I destroyed a convoy, i would get a wanted alert. After killing more enemies, the lockdown would happen.

Admittedly, I died, and hence failed, the lockdown at least 3 times. However I just survived the lockdown and the achievement popped for me.

So it seems you DO NOT need to restart to get the achievement.

Can confirm that this is no longer missable. I was able to get it by triggering a lockdown with a 100% completed world including all orbs and stunt rings collected. Literally everything done.

In the Refinery district, there will always be a small batch of red troops on the highway right in front of the statue visible from the map. These guys will respawn if you kill them and drive down the highway a bit and come back. Kill them until you're either level 3 with the red enemies or if you get word of a convoy coming through then destroy it right away. I stayed around here killing red troops for a bit and no lockdown was triggered. I roamed around the map a bit until I found blue agency troops and started killing them. It was soon after that the full lockdown was triggered. So it seems pissing off 2 factions is what triggers it.

Survive the lockdown and the achievement will unlock.

Stupid question: what does a convoy look like, or how do I locate it? I hear notification of a convoy periodically, but I've never been able to find one. Most of the time there are no enemies anywhere near me. Finished the game on Legendary and I still haven't ever found a convoy. :(

I think it's still a bit glitchy - it took me three survived lockdowns before it popped, but I had completed all bosses (including Niemand).

Not sure if it was a factor, but on my successful attempt, I hit a robot convoy to get level 3 on that faction, then attacked some chem workers to try to start the lockdown - whereas in my previous attempts I merely kept killing Terranova soldiers until the game escalated to a lockdown.

In answer to another question above, the convoy will be three vehicles - a tank (faction-specific) front and back, and a civilian-type vehicle in between. They will show up as enemies in the appropriate faction colours on the minimap when you get close enough, sometimes they can be a bit awkward to find. I was on my fourth or fifth convoy notification before I found the robot one in my last attempt.

I can confirm 100% that you can do this after every asset is already cleared from the map. Its a pain in the ass since most forces are not large enough to get a "bounty" on yourself, and I personally was not seeing any convoys. I did however just run that area of broken bridge where the 3 factions are all randomly generated and just kept running back and forth on there blowing everything up. Eventually the green guys triggered, followed by red, and I couldnt get purple to bite. I just kept killing the shit out of red and green (getting them both to tier 3) and after a little while longer finally got the city put on lockdown (Its announced and you end up at tier 3 for all 3 factions). You will eventually get a percentage meter letting you know how many more forces you have to kill before you are done. All in all this took me almost a good hour to get kicked off. If you are getting pissed at it like I was just keep going because the sound of that pop was orgasmic.

Can also confirm you can do this after killing all the bosses, including Neimand, as I apparently missed it during the story. I attacked a purple convoy and blew them up for a good 20-30 mins, then finally a Lockdown happened where all 3 attacked me and it popped.

I got this after beating Niemand using the convoy method mentioned above. The lockdown triggered after only 10-15 minutes or so. I was only at 36% of the required kills before I died, but the achievement popped right away. So it was apparently glitched in my favor!

Can confirm that the above works. Attack purple over and over for about 10mins then it will say on your screen city lockdown. Eliminate a few enemies (I was at 10% and when you die it unlocks).

I can confirm that you can trigger a lockdown via engaging a convoy after Niemand is defeated, but it doesn't work for the achievement.

By Metal Preston on 26 Feb 2019 16:31
If Niemand is dead, you must start a new world and trigger a final tier lockdown by whatever means to get this achievement.

You can get lockdowns at 100% completion but obviously Niemand doesn't comment on them, so they technically aren't triggered by her at that point.

I died during the lockdown after the Niemand cutscene due to a jumping glitch, but I was still able to get it without starting a new world the following way (My world had two bosses left. Niemand and Quist):

I triggered a level 3 security wave by going after a convoy in Westport. Killed guys for about 5 minutes and nothing happened. I then drove my car toward the center of town (By driving to Southern Heights, then into Central Shade). The security wave was fading at this point, but I saw some drones on my minimap near by so I hit Y to fly out of my vehicle and engaged them. This triggered a full lockdown. Niemand didn't speak during it at all. After defeating 100% of the troops during this lockdown I unlocked the achievement.

Hope this might help some of you having issues with it.

Just to add another comment, on your method three this works. I had all bosses killed except for Niemand, had died on the original final lockdown but attacked a convey until the alert level triggered another lockdown. Killed 100% of the reinforcements without dying and the achievement popped. Completed yesterday, March 3rd.

You do NOT need to restart and re-complete bosses. I had killed all the bosses, including Niemand - hence the Final Lock Down was not triggered.
I just pushed forward to reach a level 6/max power, thinking this achievement was missed for my part. I was just killing left and right with the red army on level 3 awereness to boost the explosive and strength power. During that I killed some robots, which raised the green army to level 1. That seemed to trigger a City Lock Down, raising all armies to level 3. Similar to all boss mision lock downs.
I survivied it - and Pop! Achievement unlocked!
No restart, no re-completing the bosses.

The convoy method worked for me. I managed to get to the Enforcer Precicnt: ENF Training Facility in the Oasis Precinct and it was super simple. I used the Anubis, Decimator, Homing Rocket and Health Field (although I only needed this once). This location has a caged-off area that ground troops can't get to, except for the teleporting ones. From there, knock out any aerial drones first, then focus on the mechs and tanks as I found they boosted my percentage more than the ground troops.

The simplest way to achieve this is of course to break the last lockdown during the story mode (which seems to trigger after most/all of the bosses have been defeated.

If you've already defeated Niemand, the achievement is still obtainable and you don't have to make a new game world. The tricky part is actually triggering a lockdown after the map has been reclaimed. This requires a level 3 alert from 2 enemy factions at the same time, and is almost impossible to do accidentally after the game is beaten. After a lot of struggling to trigger a lockdown, I found a method that seems to work more reliably. It is easiest to do this once you have access to the agency vehicle's Minotaur form at level 4 driving skill, but it is possible without.

1) Trigger an alert with any faction. Attacking and destroying a convoy is a guaranteed method. You can also kill larger groups of enemies (e.g. on the floors of the security HQ) to start an alert.
2) Once the alert is activated, make your way onto a nearby road highway and summon the agency vehicle. The minotaur/tank form will give you the durability to survive without running away so fast that the enemies lose you.
3) Drive on the highway to Ashwood Marina on the eastern edge of the map - the partially blockaded section of highway here reliably spawns enemies from the security and industry factions. Use the tank to blow them up while driving through, and it should be enough to trigger the second faction alert, and the lockdown.
4) Take down the invading enemies to break the lockdown. Note that only reinforcements called on you as part of the lockdown count towards the completion percentage: You won't get any credit for killing other enemies.

Feel free to reduce your difficulty setting to Rookie, it makes surviving easier and does not prevent the achievement.

Thanks, used your advice and got it first time.
As you say attack convoy and get them to follow you to other factions.
I ended up at chemical plant and used the big silos as cover to run around and pick of mechs etc one by one.
Great advice glad I didn't need to start another game.
Thumbs up

This worked for me too. I attacked a convoy of the red guys, spawned the Agency vehicle and selected Minotaur mode, lured the red guys over to the Ashwood Marina highway, took some shots at the green guys, and the lockdown occurred eventually when both red and green levels were at 3. I actually failed it (67%) but the achievement popped as soon as I died.

It seems, that lockdowns are engaged, when you kill a lot of enemies from different armies in the game. For me it happened after killing bosses or when i just cleared one of the outpusts.

Final lockdowns are all lockdowns, which happen after the cutscene, where Niemand offers citizen's safety in exchange for agent's life and body.

For me it happened after Roxy boss. I failed it. But it's fine to fail it, it can be triggered again and again.

I triggered it again by blowing up armored convoy (logistics division in my case), that made my wanted level at 3 with that division, then engaging enemies from other division. When their wanted level raised to 2, lockdown started. I moved to one of the monorail stations (Health Field saved me on a way there) and defeneded it with the help of the militia. It also has ammo refill, so it's very useful. It seems that militia kills do not count to closing the lockdown, so you need to kill some things yourself. When i reached 100% achievement popped.

I haven't killed Niemand or any of the captains.

I tried icey's mehod but didn't work for me. So, if you have missed this achievement, the only way that worked for me was starting a new game on Rookie with my previous character and killing every boss except Elizabeth Niemand and Liv Sorensen. First I killed Wilhelm Berg (story related), Alois Quist, Kuli Ngata and Katala Vargas because I thought that it was going to be enough, but it wasn't. Then I killed Reza Khan, Djimon Keita and finally Roxy. After killing Roxy the final Lockdown appeared with a new kind of robot.
If you die during the final Lockdown you'll miss the achievement.

I think it doesn't mind the order of killing the bosses or which bosses you kill (EXCEPT Niemand). The last Lockdown is when after killing a boss the game shows up a cutscene with Elizabeth Neimand asking you to give your life to save everyone or she'll kill everybody.

Also, if you want to kill Alois Quist, Kuli Ngata or Katala Vargas, it's not neccesary to do any mission, you can go directly to their towers and kill them.

This is story related but might be missable during the story if you die or run away during the Lockdown. Make sure that when Elizabeth Niemand's Lockdown Retaliation takes place, you stand and fight until all the enemies retreat.

If you missed this during the story, another method to unlock this achievement is post-game after you’ve completed the story. Enemies are still scattered around New Providence, so the method here is to find a location where they continually spawn and just keep killing them. Eventually your threat level will increase (watch the right-side of your screen), and more enemies will respond to your havoc. If you keep at it and raise your threat level enough, you will initiate a Lockdown. To unlock this achievement, you need to survive the Lockdown until the enemies defeated reaches 100%.

As supply points are inaccessible after a Lockdown is initiated, make sure you are fully stocked with ammo and equipment before it begins.
