How to unlock the Trap Game Strong achievement in Mafia III: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide

As I keep seeing, people are having trouble with this. If you're like me and finished the DLC and unable to trigger the trailers because they are locked then here's a solution. Go to this place on the map:

then you will see this:

all you need to do is drive through the center then go as far to make it respawn and repeat process on the way back.

This guide needs more praise! I got it without any cops which is such a relief because the AI is so bad in this game that the cops rarely want to pursue you onto the highway.

I think this achievement is bugged. I counted 4 trailer activations and I did about 20 of these from the guide to no avail :/

Can confirm this works, just drive through the post in the middle and if you need the drive through re election sign achievement as well there is one at the bottom of the road if you hang a left or right, pretty simple, credit to the guy who posted this easy solution

Worked after 7 trys thanks.

For anyone that can't see the images like me, at the top left of sinclair parish there is a small town just east of a large water area (west of the river). There is a wooden bridge in this town that you can drive through the central supporting post to activate it as a trap with no cops chasing you.

Does the cops need to be chasing you to activate the trap? Everytime I drive past one without being chased it doesn't give me the option to shoot it

As stated in the above solution, there are trailers with logs piled on them, shoot these as you drive past and carry on up the road past them. Once you've reached a suitable distance, turn around and come back, the trailer should have respawned. Rinse and repeat 10 times for the achievement. You do not need to actually get a kill with the trap for it to count.

Unfortunately, it seems a lot of people are having issues with this achievement triggering.

Do you have to be in an active police chase for this to work? If I drive arround normally, nothing happens when I shoot these traps.

I wasn't in a police chase when I did the 10 traps.

Are you definitely driving past them to trigger them falling once you pass them?

It does not work, the locks are only active (green) when the police pursued you (this evil red)
When no one is chasing you, the locks are vague or blocked, you can not activate the hats in any way to make them work. So your way to 100% does not work, or it worked before patching

This and the achievement for campaign signs were glitched for me. Coincidentally, my xbox broke and I had to send it in for repairs. I got it back(could be a new xbox, I cant tell), but it was factory reset like a brand new console. I set everything up, went back into mafia 3. Did each activity and both achievements unlocks. Shot one trap, got the achievement. Smashed one sign, achievement unlocked. So...if u really want to, factory resetting might be a way to get it.

Not an in depth guide to where they are but sprinkled all over the Sinclair Parish are flat bed style trucks pulled to the side of the road with either logs or barrels on the back. Shoot them when you are close enough after the triangular crosshair prompt appears by clicking cn_RB to release the "trap". Just wanted to clarify the im 99% sure you must actually obtain a kill off triggering the trap... I must have hit 20 of them now and no cheevo.

EDIT: This may also fall under the category of cumulative achievements for this game that are bugged, which would be REALLY stupid seeing as this DLC came out not even 24 hours ago and myself and many other TA faithfuls have been flooding 2k with support requests for bugged achievements that were in the original 1000GS.

EDIT: Multiple other players reporting this achievement as gitched, seems hit or miss.... thanks again 2k cry

I did 12 where I made sure that a car blew up. No luck. It's glitched.

It's glitched. I also can't unlock it. Some people can simply shoot the traps with no cars around and in 10 get the achievements, others like us can't get it no matter what.

It's glitched. I've triggered 15+ traps with a kill, and another 20+ just by driving past them by myself and nothing has worked.

No, none. I came to potentially write a few guides for the DLC stuff but saw there were already solutions up. I'm quite surprised to see that people are having issues to be honest.

I don't know if it will help but are you "disagreeing" to the terms and conditions when loading up the game? Maybe it's something to do with the 2K profile thing to start with. I've noticed that you have to purposely "disagree" with the T&Cs to continue which is odd. It's as if they've added the wrong text to the options.

You don't need to be in a chase or kill anyone with the trap by the way. I got my final one from setting off a trap with no one else around.

Sometimes the traps wont actually trigger if you don't drive past them fast enough. I shot a trap, drove past it slowly and nothing happened. I span round, drove past it again (but quicker) and the trap dropped. As I was driving away, I noticed the same trap icon appear on my radar so I turned round to see if it was usable again which it was.

I drove by and used the trap a couple more times and my achievement popped.

I triggered several during the early missions. While being chased by the cops, triggered the trap, died, activated checkpoint and repeated. No idea how many, but I know that I had several kills. Later I just drove around hunting flatbeds and billboards. After triggering my second flatbed (no other vehicles or kills) the achievement unlocked. I believe the achievement requires simply triggering the trap.

There are 2 traps near the big ricks custom auto in Sinclair parish. Big ricks is easily visible on your map if you zoom in slightly. One is right by big ricks to the east and the other is down the road southeast of the first one. And just like TransAmConnor said once you get a suitable distance they will respawn. I went back and forth between these two and got it in 5 minutes. Let me know if you have questions!

Hey everyone. Simple method to get this achievement. During the side mission "A Good man" at the end when you have to stash the evidence vehicle you can shoot out a trap and lose the one officer. If you get out of the vehicle and wait a moment it will explode. You will then have to grab another and just repeat the process till you get the achievement.

this achievement is actually very simple, and at first, I thought this achievement may be bugged, but it is not.
All you have to do is destroy at least (1) Police vehicle while you're being chased.

This achievement actually has nothing to do with "triggering" the events, as the actual requirement is completed upon the destruction of a police vehicle, and it seems like nobody has actually tested this.

I will be uploading a video shortly showing exactly what must be done and in a perfect spot, and at any point in the story. I have completed the storyline completely and it is still quite simple.

If your looking at this thread before the video is posted then the solution is simple, in the upper point of Sinclair there is a bar, and it has a medkit inside. The dirt road loops around onto the main road that has a perfect vehicle trap which is a bunch of barrels, simply shoot the barrels while the cops are chasing you, slow down after you pass the trap (AS ALL THE COPS SEEM TO STOP) just make sure to sit around until a cruiser explodes, then drive around the loop once again, as soon as your back at the bar the trap will reset and you simply continue on your journey. An easy tip to get the deputies after you is to enter the bar - punch someone, and then wait until someone calls the cops on you, and at least 5-10 cars will arrive on the scene guns blazing.

GLITCHED

Vehicle traps are only located in Sinclair Parish so you will have to work on this while exploring that area.

During the first story mission, your companion Roxy will shoot a trap to show you what happens, then it’s up to you to use the traps to incapacitate vehicles with 10 other traps. You can do this during story missions or any time after them, all it requires is having the cops after you. Traps look like blue and black triangles when looking at your minimap. To use one, you need to have cop cars following you, otherwise you won’t be able to use them if the cops are on foot.

When you drive by a trap, you will see a green target on it so press to shoot it. After you pass the object, the trap will activate and block any cars chasing you. You can actually reuse the same trap over and over by driving a short distance away then returning to the trap but once the cops are all on foot, you will need to kill them all and get a new set of cops after you. When you have successfully used a vehicle trap 10 times, you will get the trophy. Also note that it's 10 traps used, not 10 cops stopped so even if you stop more than one car it will only count as 1 use.

This trophy has been known to glitch for some people but if you are one of them, then please check out this thread for details on some possible fixes: LINK
