How to unlock the Jack of all Trades achievement in Mafia II - Definitive Guide
I got this achievement on the first mission by Joe's Apartment (Going Out of Business). I used a non-upgraded car, fairly standard speed. You'll need grenades and molotovs, which you can buy at Harry's and Giueseppe's, respectively.
"Just a tip, there are actually molotovs inside the garage where you blow up the cars. They are on the right of the door if you're facing into the garage." - Thanks MEETSP1NNER
Start the mission, follow the red line and at the turn into the yard, do a Drift. Then gun it and follow the line straight - you should get a few Velocity points, then hit the ramp for a Jump. Turn left after landing and get a Vehicular Kill on one of the enemies by your objective, then spin the car and hop out behind it.
They'll be 3 enemies and 3 or more will come out after you destroy the cars. In no particular order, get an Explosive Kill (grenade), Burning Kill (molotov), regular Kill (a firearm kill without a headshot), Headshot, and a Melee Kill (do this one on the last of the first 3 enemies before destroying the cars so no one else is shooting at you).
Go inside and blow up the cars for Demolition, then go outside and get other score actions you didn't get on the first 3 enemies. Then just go hit the safe zone for the achievement.
(Please note that this is just to give a general idea of how to get this achievement - feel free to alter it. For example, if you don't get a Velocity bonus at the beginning, before going to the safe zone grab a fast car and hit a long strip of road)

3 EASY ACHIEVEMENTS ON THE FIRST MISSION.
Here is a way to get 3 easy achievements right after you finish the witness level. Your first mission will be to destroy cars in a warehouse. This is the mission called "GOING OUT OF BUSSINESS" Its outside of Joe's apartment.
This method will net you the following
- Jack of all trades.
- Driftin Daddy O
- Jacked Jumper.
Before you start, you need to buy grenades and molotovs cocktails from Giueseppe and Harry. Check your map for their locations.
Start the mission. Go to the warehouse area. There will be a stretch of road right before the actual warehouse. Its more like a parking lot or something, not a real road. To get the DRIFT, You can start from the fence at the back. Go about 20 mph and start pushing the left stick right and left. If you do it right, you will get the "Driftin daddy O achievement". Just make sure not to hit anything even if you are over 200 or it wont count. Now, hit that straight away to get the VELOCITY, keep going fast and hit the ramp ahead to get JUMP, this will give you the "Jacked Jumper" achievement. Once you land, there will be an enemy there. Run him over to get VEHICLAR KILL. There will be 3 enemies coming at you now. Kill one with your grenade for EXPLOSION, kill one with your molotov for BURNING. Run up to the last one and MELEE him with B. Run into the warehouse and blow up the cars for DEMOLITION. Back outside, 5 enemies will come at you. 3 from the left and 2 from the right. Kill one with HEADSHOT and one just normal KILL with firearm. Finish the mission by going to safe house and you will get "Jack of all trades" achievement. If you are having problems with the difting achievement, go to that achievement for an even easier way to get it" There you have it folks, 3 easy achievements right from the first level.

Hi guys you have here a video guide :
In a single mission, there are 13 diferent scoring actions available, yet for this trophy, you only need to accomplish 10 of them.
Driving:
Velocity (drive at over 70 mph)
Insanity (drive at over 120 mph)
Drift
Jump
Vehicular kill (run over an enemy with your car)
Combat:
Kill (regular kill with firearm, not a headshot)
Headshot (firearm kill to the head)
Explosion kill (use a grenade, or blow up a car)
Burning kill (use a Molotov)
Stealth kill (sneak up from behind on an enemy)
Melee kill (unarmed, or not a combo in fistfight)
Melee finisher (use finishing combo in fistfight)
Demolition (blow up a car, does not need to kill someone)
An effective strategy to ready yourself for this task involves accumulating funds at the junkyard, aiming for around $5,000. Subsequently, visit all three Gun Shops to purchase their entire inventory of weapons and ammunition. Choose a standard vehicle, such as the Smith Custom 200, and equip it with the most costly engine available. Return to your Safehouse, store the enhanced car in your garage, and save the game at your apartment.
After completing these steps, retrieve the car from the garage and position it in front of the concluded mission titled "Going Out of Business.

At the end of any scored mission you'll receive a score and a rating based on your performance. Have at least 10 different score actions appear on your scorecard at the end of the mission and you'll get the trophy. Possible actions include: Burning Kill, Demolition, Drift, Explode Kill, Headshot, Insanity, Jump, Kill, Melee Finisher, Melee Kill, Stealth Kill, Vehicular Kill and Velocity.
The best place to undertake this trophy is on the mission "Going Out of Business" right outside Joe's apartment. For this mission you will need some Molotov cocktails from Guiseppi's and some grenades from Harry's Army Navy Surplus.
- Start the mission
- Drift around a corner, being careful not to hit anything.
- Speed above 70mph to get some Velocity points
- Hit the Jump near the mission area, landing safely.
- Turn towards the garage and run over the first thug for a Vehicular Kill.
- Get out of your car and wait for the goons to approach.
- Use a Molotov to get a Burning Kill.
- Use a Grenade to get a Explosive Kill.
- If there's anyone left after the grenade goes off, get a Headshot.
- Blow up the cars for a Demolition score.
- After the cars explode, four more guys will appear.
- Kill one with a shot anywhere but the head.
- Run up to any of the remaining ones and get a Melee Kill or Melee Finisher.
- Go to the Safe Zone and you'll get your trophy.
Thanks to RadiantViper for the suggestions.

The idea of getting it belongs to a person with the nickname in PSN vladislavs999. The trophy is done very simply: after completing the expansion completely, we go to the armory and buy grenades, we also need to buy a Molotov cocktail from the guy who is indicated on the map with master keys (I don’t remember the name) and go to the house where it starts the very first mission (4 cars in warehouses to blow up). We start the mission and run onto the sidewalk towards the pedestrians, get involved in a fight and extinguish the passer-by WITH CLOSE COMBAT (1 action) the police will follow you, jump into a pre-prepared car and crush a couple more people (killing in an accident), we go to the point indicated on the radar and along the way we do such actions as: dangerous speed, skidding, jump (there are plenty of places and opportunities for these actions on the road), we arrive at the warehouse (enemies will not turn on you for some time attention, killing in an accident can be done here too) and we begin to kill the enemy: murder, headshot killing, fire killing and explosion killing, blowing up the car (detonation action) and calmly leaving for the save point. As soon as the score table appears, the trophy will come out! .S you will have plenty of time to complete all these actions, so there is no need to rush too much. The trophy will only come out if you successfully complete the mission!

We start with the mission "Competition". Before the last right turn into the industrial zone (0:47 in the video), we stop at the intersection and hit the BRIDAL MAN! - we get “Kill in hand-to-hand combat” (they don’t give it for a peaceful passerby). You can also get “Murder in a Road Accident” for a BRIDALMAN! It’s easy to spot him; they’re wearing leather jackets. There shouldn't be any difficulties in getting everything else. Video to help.
PS The mission must be completed!!!

Grenades are sold at Henry's gun store in the north of the city.
Molotov cocktails can be bought from Giuseppe in the city center (master keys for the main plot of Mafia 2 were bought from him). If you go through most of the missions, one of the mission start markers will almost completely cover the Giuseppe's store icon, so you need to zoom in on the map.
