How to unlock the Walk Free achievement in Grand Theft Auto IV - Definitive Guide

I used this method of attack when I was playing GTA IV to get both "One Man Army" and "Walk Free".

*Edit: November 28, 2011 - The video that I used has been set to private. I found another copy of the video though. Re-posted.

This solution is much easier if you go to the subway tunnel in the video and dial "267-555-0150" 4 times. After doing that just run into the subway and get out of the circle.

I gained this achievement by accidently clicking on a website by the name of littlelacysuprise. Researched it and it urns out you get a 4 star if you're still in 1st part of map and then 5 stars if you're in Algonquin.

Go to Happiness island with about 10 RPG's. Get up to a two or three star by killing random people/cops. When the helicopters come, take them down with the RPG's and once you have the 4 star, grab a boat (there are fast one's near the peer) and take off. You will outrun them on sea in just a matter of seconds.

The nifty part of this is that you won't ever run into any cops other than air type. So none of those nasty bugger's that run you over when they pull up.

Duhh, I thought you had to be on foot to unlock it.

I did this at a point before I unlocked the RPG, so it took some doing to get my wanted level up there! But BuddManLove is right... using the island and boat makes for a very controlled and predictable event, unlike the chaos that can occur on the ground.

I gained this achievement by heading north of the centre island. Near the top of the map are 2 subway entrances. Close to one of the entrances I gained a 5 star wanted level (unintentionally, I was aiming for 4) and entered the subway, no policers followed or were present in the station. I then just followed the train tracks until I was clear of the police circle. Being underground stops any helicopters continually tracking you.

Go to the north side of the Airport runway. Once there you will recieve a 4 star wanted level. Head along the left side of the runway and around the corner onto the next runway staying to the left. Once you reach near the end of the runway you should be leaving the radar circle on you mini map and should have no problems then losing your level.

See video.

Well get 2 stars, then call romans taxi and set a way point to the other side of the map(i.e. really far away.) Then get in the taxi and start shooting stuff till u have 4 stars then press a to skip the journey.

You don't really need to outrun the cops on foot u can just use a car.
The fastest way to get this achvmnt is to drive in to the police station in Algonquin. The station is a restricted area, after you drive in you'll get a 4 star wanted level, then just turn around and had straight out of there before the cops arrive.Don't turn, just go straight on, and you're out of the flashing zone.You'll unlock this achvmnt in less than 40 seconds.I got this achvmnt accidenttally without even trying.

It might be far too late to write this, but I discovered a great way completely by accident.

First you are going to need Roman's Taxi unlocked. Mark the location as far across the map as you can. Then just start shooting stuff until you get 4 stars. Next, just simply skip the ride and appear way across the map. The stars will vanish and your achievement should pop up.

Also, note this will not work in any other taxi, because when you shoot, the driver will get scared and run away.

enter in 267-555-0150 on your phone, which will raise your wanted level by one star, then go into the cheats section of your phone and select it three times, then go into the ocean and enter in 938-555-0100 which summons a boat, then keep boating away until you lose the cops, Ding!. Neither of these cheats disables any achievements

The best way to do this is to use an ingame cheat
Dial "267-555-0150" on your phone (press cn_up twice to bring up the numberpad)
That unlocks the cheat option at the bottom of your phone. You can then use that cheat until you have a 4 star wanted level.

However to combine this, get in a cab let him drive somewhere to the other side of the map. Before fast traveling bring up your phone and apply the cheat. Then quickly go out of your phone menu and activate the fast travel. You'll be spawned outside of the police search zone and will quickly lose your wanted level. Making this achievement cost 30 seconds and not 10 minutes using the tunnels!

You can Definetly do this Easy, once you get a good feel for the Map.

But, if you want to just get this quickly, i found the easiest way was to get a Sanchez (dirt bike), then go to Hove Street where the Above ground Subway is.... From there, shoot a Cop for instant 3-star wanted level, the hard part is finding Cover from the Police Heli... Keep shooting cops/citizens till you get 4 stars... Then Instantly jump on the Bike, following the Subway for a quick ride to the Edge of the Wanted Circle... Stay Just outside the Circle... Boom... The Achievement should pop up

(I did not have any luck with the Underground Subway, as the Cops would always pop up as soon as i exited the tunnels)

Get yourself a two star rating. Call a taxi car from Roman, which opens behind "Driving Mr. Bellic" and select a location on the other side of the map.
Now lean out of the window and shoot everything you see until you get 4 stars. After that, just call up the taxi driver menu and quickly move to a new place, since there will be no police nearby, your rating will quickly go to 0, you will receive an achievement. This method only works with a taxi from Roman, since an ordinary taxi driver will immediately run out of the car if the police are chasing you.

There is an easier way! You go to the airport and they immediately give you 4 stars. Then you leave from there, and just drive away from the cops. I did this by accident.

I got the achievement in a different way. Find the entrance to the subway, then earn 4 wanted stars and go into the subway, run (drive) along the rails, the police will not chase you and that’s how you get this achievement
