How to unlock the Running Rampant achievement in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - Definitive Guide

Vigilante missions involve tracking down criminals that are driving around the city and killing them. The mission can only be triggered when inside a law enforcement vehicle, such as a cop car or tank, by pressing . You will then have a time limit to track down the criminal represented by the blip on the minimap and kill them. You can either ram them until they flee their vehicle or you can perform a drive-by with a Sub-Machine Gun to destroy their vehicle.

Each level gets a little more difficult than the previous with more criminals that need to be killed. If you get killed the mission will fail and you will need to start from the beginning of level one. There are multiple ways in which you can obtain this trophy, with some of the methods described below:-

Method #1: Cop car

The hardest method to obtain this trophy is to use a cop car. You can either ram or shoot the criminal vehicles to destroy them. This can take quite some time and you are likely to run out of time or destroy your own vehicle in the process. This can be made easier with the use of the health cheat which will completely restore your car health. The weapon cheat will give you more ammunition for your Sub-Machine Gun as well. Police cars are very common in the game so you shouldn't have a problem acquiring one.

Method #2: Tank

The tank can be acquired either through cheats (although this lowers your criminal rating score) or from the Fort Baxter Air Base once you have collected 90 hidden package. All you need to do is blow the criminals car up either by shooting it or driving over it. The tank can be quite slow so be careful about running out of time.

Method #3: Hunter

The Hunter is a military helicopter unlocked upon collecting all 100 hidden packages. It will then spawn at the helipad of the southern most house on the first island, which is Lance Vance's apartment. It is equipped with rockets and a machine gun which make it extremely easy to quickly dispose of each criminal. Time won't be a problem if using the Hunter, because you can travel between each target very quickly without having to contend with traffic.

These missions can be completed in a Police Car, Enforcer, Police Cheetah, FBI Rancher, FBI Washington, Barracks OL, Rhino or Hunter. Mission goal: kill the driver of the specified car in time. It’s just not entirely clear why stars are given for killing a criminal during a mission, but that’s what it is. The biggest difficulty is when trying to stop said car.

To avoid having to suffer with these missions for a long time, you need to:
1. Get the Rhino tank;
2. Place any car with open doors near Pay N' Spray (so that it does not disappear);
3. Remember the location of a couple of bribes and changing places.

Now we get into the tank and begin the mission. All that remains is to get to the desired car and shoot (at first it seems that the tank is very slow and there will be a catastrophic lack of time, but in fact, after completing several missions there will be plenty of time). Immediately after they gave us two stars, we rush at full speed to the changing room (the best option), or to Pay N' Spray, or, well, or to a bribe (to somehow defuse the situation when things are really bad). If you have enough patience, then it is better to do this procedure without waiting for two stars, but after the explosion of 2-3 cars. After completing 12 levels you get 150 units of armor.

The author is right, it’s better to go through it on a tank, just in a different manner. We sit in the tank, turn the gun back, and fire as often as possible.

The speed will be such that cheetahs and diablos will envy. We kill criminals simply by crashing into their cars.

In fact, the mission can be completed without repainting the car, changing clothes, or bribes. I passed level 12 reaching 4 wanted stars. Try not to shoot from a cannon and blow up other cars very often, calmly ride after criminals and do not pay attention to the police. And no matter how many wanted stars you have, the main thing is not to let the police near the door of the tank so as not to arrest you.

I personally always completed this task on the Hunter military helicopter, which opens after completing the storyline, or after collecting all 100 hidden packages, because... the cops won't get you on it (there will only be police helicopters, but they are easy to shoot down). You can find him at the military base.

Perhaps I’m not an expert in helicopter business, but somewhere on the 10th Hunter mission, mine categorically exploded, since enemies sometimes shoot, and this does not remain without consequences for a military helicopter. Two more problems: when turning, Hunter does everything quickly, but the game camera slows down terribly. It’s especially unpleasant when the bandits are under you and you can’t reach them without rolling back and turning around.
In short, I took the tank, as advised here. And in order to simplify the first few missions before they started, I drove a tank to the Airport (fortunately the military base is nearby), climbed to the farthest (southwestern) corner, and there I pressed the vigilante mission button. The advantage of this business is that there is a lot of space and little traffic, so you won’t run into anyone in vain and you won’t get any stars. The second plus is that in these first stages you can accumulate a lot of bonus time, which will come in handy in the future.
At higher levels, the number of cars with criminals increases to three, and stars begin to be given on a regular basis. And all this already goes beyond the territory of the Airport.
Using the accumulated time, we remove the stars through changing clothes, taking a bribe or repainting. The criminals' cars are driving in single file - we try to come from behind and... shoot everyone at once.
So yes, it’s better - on a tank!!!

Everyone - have a good time tanking and lynching!!!

In fact, it’s as simple as that - we take a tank, go after the criminals, and as soon as we get the second star, we turn the muzzle back and go shooting constantly: this way we won’t be stopped, the main thing here is not to roll over at speed, but it can develop rather big.

Alternative option:

1. We collect 70 hidden packages, after which a grenade launcher will be added to the Hotel.
2. We stock up on ammunition.
3. Using a regular police car, we catch up with the criminal and are 1-2 blocks ahead.
4. We meet with an RPG.
5. Every 2 rounds we shake off the pursuit of the cops.

PS

1. Do after "Take the Cannoli" as the hidden packages will already be collected.
2. I personally did in 15-20 minutes on the first try.
3. There is plenty of time available to catch the criminals.

Also, if you want to go through this not entirely adequately, do the following:
1) take a police cruiser or any police vehicle that fits in the garage...
2) we take it to the garage
3) click , let's start the task
4) leave the garage, close it, leaving the car there, and enter , , , , , , , , , , ,
(boom, forensic scientists are destroyed by heavenly forces)
5) open the garage, sit down...
6) leave the garage, close it, leaving the car there, and enter , , , , , , , , , , ,

PS The method is even faster than on Hunter.
PSS This is one of the cheat codes that are not listed in the stats.

A tank and only a TANK!!!))) If you are going to get platinum through the method with the New Game, 80 packages and a race in the parking lot... (a cheat for a tank removes 1k of the rating). Enter the cheat :circle circle: L1; L2; R1 and it will be for you )))
