How to unlock the Trap Game Strong achievement in Mafia III: Definitive Edition - Definitive Guide
Unfortunately, it seems a lot of people are having issues with this achievement triggering.
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
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.
This unlocked after getting into cop chases having cops lead to traps and disabled with trap had 7 disabled and 6 just activated.. went back made sure cops were disabled boom achievement...
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
