How to unlock the Repeat Offender achievement in Grand Theft Auto 3 - Definitive Guide

In order to get busted you must break the law and then get caught by the cops and be arrested. You must first attain a wanted level (indicated by the stars in the top right corner of the screen). This is easily achieved by killing someone in front of a cop or trying to steal a car in front of a cop. Once you have obtained a one star wanted level, wait for the cops to arrest you. This is most easiest done when you are inside a vehicle as they will put you out and arrest you straight away. If you are standing / on foot, they will keep beating you up or shooting you until you are dead / wasted, and thus you will not get the ‘busted’ screen.

It’s best to grind this trophy early in the game as each time you are arrested you lose all your weapons (that is if you aren’t using cheats to quickly regain them). If you are using cheats, then simply enter the ‘increase wanted level’ cheat and wait to be arrested. This will automatically give you a two star wanted level. Each time you are busted you will restart at the closest cop station. In Portland, the cop station is located in the Portland View area. Follow the below steps to quickly grind 20 police busts.

  • Get arrested for the first time so you end up at the police station.
  • Wait outside the police station and a cop car should drive past, and then try and steal it. This will give you a one star wanted level.
  • The cop will hop out of the car and arrest you, giving you the ‘busted’ screen.
  • Rinse and repeat until you the trophy unlocks.

The below video shows this method and how to quickly obtain the trophy.

You can boost near the police station on the first island in Portland. You go out onto the road, try to get into a police car, which often drives there, and a cop gets out and makes an arrest. And you are again at the police station. ) And so 20 times.

Addition to boosting arrests near the police station:
- sometimes they start shooting at you instead of arresting you. Hurry up, get into the nearest car and wait calmly for the arrest.

I would like to add that arrests affect the rating for the worse, so it’s better to save, forget and boot.

It’s better to get into the car in front of a cop or just run over everyone. Quite a tedious and lengthy trophy.
