How to unlock the Three Man Army achievement in Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox One) - Definitive Guide

This one's quite easy. When you get the ability to cruise with all characters and have met them all, simply phone them all up, then when you're in a vehicle together, get a wanted level of 3 stars or more (to make sure you don't lose them easily), then spend over three minutes with the wanted level, but don't die or get busted.

To do it, drive to Ammu-Nation and put on a suit of Super Heavy Armor. Weapons don't really matter, but it's nice to have them to help.

Call Michael and Trevor on your phone under Contacts, then quickly pick each of them up, using the icons on your map to find them. Don't take too long to pick them up, or their icons disappear and they'll refuse to answer your calls for a while. Use your horn to attract their attention when nearby.

Once you have your crew together, head to Los Santos Customs. Upgrade your Vehicle Armor and Engine. Drive to Los Santos airport and drive through the main hangar gate. Drive your car out on to the airfield. This will instantly trigger a three-star Wanted Level. Now simply circle the airfield for three minutes. If the police lose track of you, drive into their cone of vision to maintain the Wanted level.

A walkthrough video kindly provided by NEO182 is below, from his randomchievos channel on YouTube.

NOTE: There's a strange phenomenon happening just lately with the Achievement system on the Xbox One. Achievements aren't popping visibly or audibly, but they do. Your console has to be connected to Live, so if they don't pop, check your Internet connection, and the Xbox Live status page at http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

They DO pop correctly, as I obtained them on the 360 version.

I called the boys up and went over to the hands on car wash on innocence Blvd in strawberry. starting running down some pedestrians near there. Once I hit 3 stars, I went inside the car wash and kinda just hung out and shot at any cops trying to come inside. Trevor and Michael will shoot at them too. Fairly easy to do

A way round it would be to get a wanted level before driving into the airfield, but be extra careful you don't lose the cops, keep shooting at them, running them over, but don't get your wanted level above 4 stars if possible.

Keeps the balance between ease of doing it, and risk of losing wanted level

I flew in with Trevor when I was collecting the spaceship parts, so I'm gonna try being Michael or Trevor (as I purchased the hangar as Franklin) when I go to the airfield.

Whenever I call one of them its fine but when I call the 2nd, their phone is always busy. I have tried being all 3 and calling the others with same result. :/

I did it in between missions. I don't remeber which, but I phoned Franklin and then immediately Michael, while playing as Trevor. It doesn't seem to always work once story mode is completed.

I was having huge issues getting all three together - i did this throughout the whole game and could never get them all - i'd get a busy tone off number three. So for anyone with this issue, here is the key...

CALL BOTH PEOPLE BEFORE PICKING UP THE OTHER!

Hope that helps someone!

@VanderAG: That's what my guide tells you to do, phone them one after the other then *quickly* pick each up :)

Your guide says to quickly pick them up, not to quickly call them one after the other ;) Otherwise great guide!

Just to add - the earliest possible point to get this achievement is after the mission "Fame or Shame" as that is the first point where Michael has both Franklin and Trevor in his contact list. This is also one of the best points to attempt this as both of the other characters will not be "busy" yet at this point in the game.

Ii had no problem getting this on the 360 but it will not unlock on the xbox one version. I have tried multiple ways and none of them are working for me. Any advice?

It's easier to call them this with Trevor or Michael, they're mostly busier than Franklin (by me)

Very easy as per the solution above ONCE you actually manage to get all three together! Lost count of the amount of times that one of the guys was busy!!

But, yeah, just drive straight through the airport barrier and drive around the runway. I'd suggest to keep driving your chosen vehicle under things so the chopper can't always fire on you.

Happy days!

Is there a mission that can be replayed that will put all 3 in a car together or something? I can’t get Michael or Trevor on the phone if I’m playing as the other. I can call them both as Franklin, but the second one always declines.

Edit: Well I got my answer, all 3 characters are together in a car after the last heist. But apparently, this can only be done outside of missions because I spent a good 10 minutes roaming around with 3 stars and got nothing.

Just adding you do need to call both other characters before picking either one of them up. Otherwise if you pick one up then try to phone the other, they will come up as "busy" on your phone.

Is this achievement unobtainable after finishing the story? I've done it 5 times now (after the story, I could never get all 3 to hang out together before that), but no unlock. I've got all 3 hanging out in the same car no problem, driven around the airport for at least 5 minutes to be on the safe side, then left and got rid of the wanted level, but no luck in popping the cheevo.

Edit - it popped on the EIGHTH attempt! Doubt it makes much difference but I used the characters in a different order, I was Michael and called/picked up Franklin first and Trevor second. It then popped whilst I was still in the airport, I didn't have to leave or lose the police.

Can anyone confirm if purchasing the hangar at the airport prevents this method from working? I've purchased the hangar as Franklin so have access to the airfield now, and can drive anywhere within the airport without triggering a wanted level.

I haven't yet tried this yet - will edit this comment to confirm, if nobody else does before hand.

I played as Michael, called Franklin to hang out, then straight after called Trevor to hang out (Michael will say to Trevor on the phone "want to hang out with me and Franklin?").

Picked them both up then drove close to the airport where I called 911 for a police car, ran them over and their backup until 3 stars, then drove in circles in an aircraft hanger (to hide from helicopters) for 3min.

The stars never dropped despite me legally being allowed on the airstrip because Franklin and Trevor will be drivebying all the police cars chasing you as you go around in circles.

The easiest way to obtain this:



After this, as Franklin, call up Trevor then immediately call Michael. On your map, you will then be able to pick both of them up - both icons on the map says "Friend Pick Up". Afterwards go to the airport (bottom left of the map) and remain in the airport for 3 minutes then leave the airport. You will then get the achievement.

I’ve been trying to get them to meet up with me for ages, even after doing The Hotel Assassination mission and getting the house, everyone is still busy and doesn’t want to hang out:(

4-Door Vehicle .
Call Friends ( Same time ) .
Pick Up ( AFTER both phone calls ) .

I've been having trouble with this one . I may have to start a new game on an empty save slot to try it with the airport before buying the hangar & having permission to be there . Maybe it's an offline issue .
