How to unlock the Giddy Up achievement in HITMAN - Definitive Guide

This easter egg is located at the back of the house where the guards are doing push-ups. If you have already got to mastery level 18 or more then you can save yourself some time by starting as a hacker in the house.

1. Disguise as a hacker or Militia Elite,
2. Go to the back of the house where you find the 3 guards doing push-ups.
3. Pick up an apricot ( located near radio or right behind the officer in charge of the 3 guards ).
4. Throw the apricot ( from behind is best ) at the commanding officer giving the instructions.
5. Run to the radio beside the guards, turn it on and they'll start dancing.

Challenge/achievement unlocked.

Any apricot should work from what I tested. Thanks for the feedback though, the game has had some updates since this episode.

Every time I tried this, they don't dance. Do I have to hit the instructor? Do I have to turn on the radio at a specific time when they are all there?

Can't figure out what specifically makes this work, I tried it a few times and they just seemed to get suspicious and hunt me down. Then one attempt one of the three started dancing and pop it went. Keep trying!

Tried like 10x with an apricot I picked up from somewhere random, and they would just get suspicious. Used the apricot behind the drill instructor and got it first try.

Tried ~15 times with the elite uni and nothing worked; throwing apricot at, near or past the three guards. It finally popped for me while using the hacker disguise and throwing the apricot right at the leader’s head

The only way I could get this to pop for me was throwing the apricot over the head of the drill instructor so it lands behind the guys doing press-ups.

Used the apricot behind the planter behind the drill instructor, bounced it right off of his head and then hit the radio. Popped for me with all three guards hoeing on down.

I also tried many times. Hacker uniform with the apricot behind the commander and a headshot did the trick

Dressed as an Elite, I threw the apricot and they got suspicious. Then I turned on the radio and they all started getting aggressive but the achievement and challenge popped.

I've done a fair amount of trial and error with this, and so far, I've only gotten it to work after picking up the apricot behind the box behind the drill sergeant. The apricot by the radio or other random apricots don't seem to work. Someone correct me if you've gotten them to dance without that specific apricot.

This is done in Episode 5: Colorado, USA. You will need to distract the leading soldier in the backyard area. Easiest way to do this is to obtain a hacker disguise (you can spawn in as a hacker at mastery level 18). Next, use the apricot in the backyard to distract the leading soldier and then turn on the radio in the backyard to cause the other soldiers to start dancing.

Here is a video guide with English commentary for this achievement!

Tried a bunch of times with the Military Elite disguise and they’d always get suspicious and come investigate. Worked first try with the Hacker disguise.

This is my first guide so i apologise if its a bit poo.

At the back of the big house you'll find 3 guards being ordered to do push ups, you'll find an apricot on the floor next to a plant holder with a radio on it. pick up the apricot and throw it at the guard ordering the push ups, then turn on the radio and the 3 guards will dance.

Achievement unlocked!!!

Hope this helps.

- Head towards the white house and disguise yourself as Militia Elite using the disguise in the truck.
- Head into the house, through the kitchen and into the back area locating a window you can jump out off.
- Wait for the enemy to walk across the window before jumping out.
- Now jump out, and pick up an apricot.
- As the drill sargeant begins his intstructions, throw the apricot at him to hit him.
- Walk around to the side and activate the radio to unlock the challenge and begin the hoedown.

This achievement is related to the Easter egg found in Colorado. Around the back of the house near the barn, there is a drill sergeant having his men do push ups. You must grab one of the apricots and throw it at his head, then run back to the radio on one of the tables and turn it on. This will make the soldiers dance, and the achievement will unlock.

For a more detailed walkthrough, refer to the video below.

In the courtyard of the house, the commander is training three soldiers. We go behind the commander, throw the apricot lying right there at him, and while he is distracted, turn on the radio on the box on the right. The soldiers will start dancing.

There is no need to throw apricots at anyone. All you have to do is sneak over to the radio that's on the box and turn it on. Cheerful music will play (it is not necessary for the soldiers to dance; in my case they were staring blankly at the radio), and after 20 seconds it will appear
achievement.
