How to unlock the Destroyer achievement in Just Cause 2 - Definitive Guide
Pipelines feature a small terminal which you can locate easily by looking out for some stairs leading up to the pipeline. Fuel Shafts extend into the ground any you need to climb down the enemy ridden shaft. The terminal is on the bottom most floor. Be sure to look for a quick way out before staring the detonation countdown.
You can check your progress in the statistics menu. The following all count towards the achievement:
- Baby Panay Statues
- Communication Stations
- (Bio) Fuel Shafts

Review 24 September 2014: Fixed an image.
UPDATE #1: You can check your progress in the statistics menu. Press the Back button then press Right Trigger. Then go down to Statistics and then down again to Sabotages. It shows your progress for everything :)
UPDATE #2: Offshore Rigs usually a loaded with things you can destroy. You can probably get about 15-20 on each one and they're easily to find as they are the only yellow dots in the water. Fly around those a couple times and make sure you get everything, even the Fuel Depots underneath. You don't need to worry about SAM turrets either as there are none. Military Harbors are the 2nd best for getting a lot of sabotages. Just fly around destroying everything, there will be more you can get from the Harbors but it is a lot quicker to do the Offshore Rigs first.
"Small corrections: There are SAM sites on offshore rigs.
If you progress the story even a little bit, you'll get a faction base or two which have random helicopters in them. If it's a military base, you will often see armed copters on the pads. This is preferable to dumping cash on Black Market transportation."

Upvoted anyway, for loads of good advice, thanks!
Destroying certain military objects like Silos, Fuel depots, Broadcast towers, count as sabotaging Panau.
You will get this by working on Agency Missions (Story Missions) and faction missions. If you should run out of missions without having unlocked this achievement, check your map for places you haven't fully completed yet and/or explore for more Panau bases.
Note: In the statistics screen, you can see which buildings/objects count towards a sabotage.

Throughout the game the main objective is to cause chaos & the main way to cause chaos is by blowing things up. The objects you are looking for are government property and the colours that help you identify this property is red & white. Also look for a white star on the objects. There are a different number of ways to sabotage the objects, the easiest and quickest of which involve:
- Shooting them with the fully upgraded assault rifle
- Using C4/grenades
- Other explosive weapons i.e. rocket launchers, AA Guns
- Using any helicopter with a machine gun/rocket launchers. The helicopter is the fastest and most effective, especially as you will have infinite ammo.
This won't come as you progress through the game. You will need to do a lot of side missions & complete locations to get the 1000 sabotages needed, see the Freeroamer 2 trophy for more info. I have a made list of destroyable objects and how many are needed for each:
