How to unlock the Black gold tycoon achievement in FUEL - Definitive Guide
If you intend to get the full 1K in this game then, this one is not an issue. There is so much "free roam" riding needed to get all the vista, liveries etc, that as long as you drive off the main roads and tracks, you will get to 500 faily quickly.
I found that i didn't even really need to look for them, if i saw a stack of 4 i slowed and went for it, but mostly i just spoted them as i was heading for the doppler trucks, etc and picked them up along the way, not super quick, but not a grind either.
1. go to redrock
2. select the heli-port in the north (near the border)
3. after the chopper-szene go straight on to 4 oil drums
4. go to the menu and select the same heli-port again
5. these 4 oil drums are back
6. repeat this again and again and again
here are loads of Fuel drums around the game. All the drums are located off-road. You will most likely get this from playing through the game as I found myself, more often than not, off-roading to get to the locations quicker. It is also a good idea to tie this in with the 'drive from point A-B without resorting to the chopper' trophies. As your crossing the map for these trophies as soon as you see a white drum or stack of drums, run over then. If you finish the game and are still having difficulty with this, then be sure to note that the drums respawn after every use of the helipad so you can just find your place that has a lot of drums and use the helipad to help you on your way.
To get 500 Oil durms, you can do lot of things :
- Get some while driving
- Farming
For the first one, it's really long.
For the second one, I've used 2 methods :
- Leaving the Free Ride Zone at the north of Tsunami Reef. There's a good amount of Oil Drums since it look like the game reward this kind of exploration
- Using the Heliport that is the further West of the Big Cauldron's Edge. Here, there is a ridiculously huge amount of Oil Drums. You'll need to explore a bit and, when you thing there is no more Oil Drums, re-use the Heliport. you can get 30 000 Fuel for 20 minutes (which represents 300 Oil Drums for 20 minutes (30 000 = 300 x 100))
There are more than five hundred of them in the game, so there shouldn’t be any problems getting the achievement.
In addition, someday you will attack a place where there are more barrels than usual. Collect them, call a helicopter and fly to the nearest point. Then go to that place again. The barrels should appear again.
