How to unlock the Knucklehead achievement in Mafia II - Definitive Guide

This one is easy. Just go to the docks and push any dock worker and beat them down. I did it in around five minutes this way.

It has been awhile since I played but I don't think it works because they have to fight back and I don't believe civilians do. I could be wrong though. Or it could be it was too easy for the cops to respond if you beat up civilians. On the docks no one cares or calls cops.

I had the same problem Specialist01 had. Got over 100 melee kills and no pop. I checked my tracker and instead of having a number for achievements it had a dash. For some reason the tracker stopped working. I quit and reloaded the game and it went to normal. One more fistfight and it popped.

should get this through playing story mode but if you dont then go to a quiet area of the map ie Docks area where there are no police about and walk up to someone and press B to shove them and they will start fighting you. Just beat crap out of them and move on to the next person until you have 30 melee kills. You can check in your game statistic on the pause menu on how many melee kills you have

no way you get this in story mode... nor are you even going to be close... i still thumbed up because the docks is the best place to do it, but i have no clue how you could ever possibly get this achievement through normal story progress...

best place to do this achievement is on the docks, it will not bother the police and moreover you will fight with employees of the docks and they will appear again, it should take about 10 to 15 minutes at most to get the achievement

At the start of any checkpoint that starts you close to a street, shove a cop. They will pull out a weapon and not fire, and you can knock them out with three light punches--as opposed to actually having to fight them.
You'll get a 2 star wanted rating I believe but if you don't mind dieing, you can fight as many cops as you can before dieing, or just restart at your checkpoint. It's faster than fighting random people because cops don't fight back.

Did this in the dock area. A lot of random people to just walk around and fight. At one point received a wanted level but no actual police pursuit

The docks work great but I'd add don't follow the screen prompt for the finishing move. If you hit Y followed by BBB, they block and eventually run away. Just button mash B and you'll kick them in the face when they go down the first time and it'll be over quickly.

Make sure you don't have a weapon equipped and use the and buttons to pummel your enemies. Incidentally, civilians also count towards this trophy so you can start fights on the street to round out your total. The Police will break up the fight if they're in the area however so go on and fight them too! Credit to Guttsu-87 for suggesting the collateral damage.

You can get this trophy quickly and easily: we go to the docks and start beating up the dock workers. At the same time, even if the police put you on the wanted list, they will not come to you and you can do your dirty deed.

I’ll add about getting achievements at the docks. Run up to the worker - press , Vito pushes the enemy and immediately press 2 times - the worker falls. At the moment of the fall animation, immediately start moving towards it - and press for capture. If you're lucky, finish off immediately . If he managed to get up, repeat the series of and he already 100% does not have time to get up before being captured. You don’t have to touch the girls, they immediately run away. I came across 3 types of “characters” - those who fall and take a long time to get up - we immediately capture and finish them off, those who get up abruptly - you always need 2 series and fierce fighters who immediately begin to beat you - you need to beat them from a blockade.

I did this at the port, just beat all the workers and that’s it. The WANTED icon will appear, but that’s okay - the cops won’t come to the port, you can continue your dirty work J)
