How to unlock the Spotter achievement in Mafia III: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

Since the Sniper Support is $3500 each, it can get pretty expensive. So if you're like me and you didn't save up a lot of money, then there's a pretty easy way to get the Sniper Support thing for free.

Just go to the building where the bounty hunting missions are (in the Bayou just south of the Southdowns) and in the garage will be a Sniper Support sitting on a crate. In order to get these to reappear, just drive down to the bridge to the south and then drive back.

When you're all stocked up, point your gun at a nearby npc so they call the cops and then use all three of the Sniper Supports on them. Rinse and repeat until the achievement pops. Easy and no cost.

If you drive toward the bridge to the north (Soundowns) as soon as you hit the railroad car you can turn around and pick up another. Just watch out for the tree stump.

Downvoted because the mission checkpoint in the first safehouse mission after you get the free sniper supports from clearing out the Cuban Restaurant is so much better. This is a long winded way of doing it.

Why downvote a perfectly good solution there are different ways now the games been out forever so don’t bash people with negative downvotes message the owner/writers of the walkthrough and point out changes he/she could make they always credit you for helping discovering it. Downvoting for me is a not very nice gamer move

I think this achievement is glitched, I have killed over 30 police and it hasn't popped up yet

Another glitched achievement... I am so close to permanently shut down this game.
L.E.: it finally unlocked, I had to disconnect my Xbox from the internet, made some kills offline and reconnect to the Xbox Live network. Seems to be a problem with most of Mafia 3's glitched achievements.
That being said, before you embark to unlock any achievement, I strongly suggest starting your playhtough offline, make some progress towards the achievement you want to unlock and then go online.

You access sniper support like you access grenades. Holdcn_LBd select sniper support with the cn_RB. Then you are able to use it like a grenade. Hold cn_RB and make sure the circle turns green and then you are able to kill all the people in the circle.

You can buy more sniper support token form the arms dealer for $3500 each, but you DON'T need to buy any of them.

I found that if you do a mission that has enemies outside you can snipe them and then get yourself killed and re spawn at the last Checkpoint and do it again.

I did this on the mission right after getting the sniper support "Welcome to the show" where the game gives you 3 token for free. the current objective is "FIND ALDRIDGE" i cleared the first area with the small scene where the guard is talking about how he killed the other guys friend. Went through the build to the open backyard where 2 guards are beating on one guy. there are five guys in the area to kill. You should be able to kill at least 4 of them with sniper support before you run into the next building. When in the next building just let yourself die and you will spawn right where the 2 guards are beating on the guy and then just rinse and repeat. In about 5-10 minutes you will have the achievement.

Hope this helps! smile Please like or comment if you was or wasn't helpful.

Worked like a charm, managed to get all 5 enemies every time : the first 2 beating up one guy / the enemy by the truck and the walker between him and the first 2 / the last guy by the door. There were some instances where one of the middle enemies joined their pal at the door but aside from that, it was always an easy 2+2+1 or the odd 2+1+2. Great solution !

Ok......just for people who haven't figured out how to do this, Sniper Support is used just like a grenade.....to select it, hold cn_LB, then press cn_RB till you get to the cross-hairs.......

To use it, hold cn_RB and aim until you see a green circle, then release cn_RB

You can only carry 3 at a time, but luckily, if you call the Arms Dealer, you can restock, its in the Explosive category all the way to the right for $3500 a piece

Hope this helps!!! Happy Hunting!!

This was Posted by ME3TSPINNER in another solution: If you go back to Marshall's place, just inside the garage where you turn in your captured bounties on the right is a token for calling snipers.....When you move away from Marshall's place and come back (you don't even have to go that far away), they will reset and you can pick them up/use them again.

Full credit goes to Me3tspinner of course.......

Another tip posted by Allgorhythm: I can confirm that Marshall will snipe all enemies within the circle. Sometimes he will miss or need more than one shot for the kill. However, as long as you've got the green indicator when you call the sniper, you will get all kills within the radius and it will count as just a single use of the sniper.

Full credit to Allgorhythm for his awesome tip!!

Meaning you can get multiple kills as long as there are multiple enemies in the "green circle" when you "throw the grenade"

From my experience I wanted to test out Allgorhythm's idea, I was playing just for fun after I got all cheevos....I "marked" 5 enemies with the "Spotter Grenade", even AFTER they left the radius of the "green circle" after I tossed it, Marshall still got all 5!!! Plus Meetspinners's idea about throwing a Zemi Grenade works to get them even more bunched up!!!

Can you take multiple targets down with 1 use? Very expensive achievement otherwise!

Nice tips, thank you. I agree about downvoting; I mean, what do people want exactly? Perhaps we should go round to their place and win the achievement for them?

I actually used the "Steal the Truck" side missions for this and used a Screaming Zeni beforehand to group up the enemies. One of the times I did this I got 6 kills with one sniper call. ;)

Why negative votes? Probably because you're solution is just a repeat of Jordan Crawfish's solution.

@BladeNBatman - Actually Warboy925 posted his 2 days before Jordan Crawfish.

He's edited it since to add a tip I posted, but the original post date is May 31, while Crawfish's is June 2.

@Warboy925 - Unfortunately, Crawfish's solution is a little better written than yours and I don't think the "do I need to hold your hand?" jab is going over well with others. wink

What's with the negative votes? Thumbs up from me--I grinded the achievement out in the Bayou with the moonshine missions. I can confirm that Marshall will snipe all enemies within the circle. Sometimes he will miss or need more than one shot for the kill. However, as long as you've got the green indicator when you call the sniper, you will get all kills within the radius and it will count as just a single use of the sniper.

As mentioned in the other solution, this one works like a grenade.

For this I went back to the ol' faithful, the Downtown Police Station. Make sure you have the cops after you before you start to pick them off using the sniper ability (i tallied it while doing it when they weren't after me, and it didn't work). Highlight a police officer and let go of RB, a second or two later they'll be shot and dead. Keep doing this till the achievement pops.

Avoid a cluster of two down at the dock area at the back, every time I went to take them out, my game crashed to the dashboard.

You can unlock this trophy at the beginning of the island mission. Once you land on the island, follow the path up to the hill. Here is where you can obtain this trophy: Equip the sniper support before you make your way down the hill. You will see your first enemy at the bottom of the hill, use your sniper support to take this enemy out. There will be two more enemies across the small river, use your sniper support to take them out. Make your way up to the enemy territory and purposely get killed. You will restart at the top of the hill. Rinse and repeat this process until trophy pops. Happy Gaming!

First of all ...you can get sniper support ammo by buying but is expensive or after doing the bounty missions you can find in Marshalls garage beside the ammo locker . After you pick it up exit to game menu and then the continue to get back to the game and you will be spawned back at Marshalls place and the ammo will be respawned to...rinse and repeat until you are full then drive to the police station in French Ward , jump over the gate and as soon it says combat... target the two guys by the garage door...rinse and repeat...have fun!

A easy and free solution to do this is to start the dlc and play until you start "Welcome to the Show" where Marshall will give you 3 sniper support for free, when you arive at the C.I.A safehouse, there will be some enemys, kill the first 3 then reloade the checkpoint and do this untill the achivement pops

You will most likely need to grind this out a bit. You unlock the Sniper Support after finishing the first story mission in this DLC, "Creature of Habit". To equip the Sniper Support, hold and use to cycle to the icon that looks like a target on a head. Now hold to aim at an enemy and if it’s a viable target, it turns green. Once you let go of the trigger, Marshall will take out that enemy. Note that the enemies must be attacking you for the game to keep track. If you use the ability on an unaware enemy, the game will not recognize them as "enemies" and thus not give you credit for the kill so get them into attacking you before using the ability on them.

During this DLC's story missions, you can find walkie-talkies that refill your "ammo" for this ability or you can call in the Arms Dealer but each shot costs $3,500 to buy so be prepared to spend a decent amount of money to get this trophy. Once you get your 30th kill with the ability, the trophy will pop.
