Executed 10 Vehicle Takedowns

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

Vehicle takedowns are accomplished by shooting the tires or by using the ram feature by hitting cn_A. Since few hostile vehicles will be in front of you, shooting at them is far more convenient than attempting to slow down and let them pass you up. You have to shoot out two tires on the hostile vehicle and it will spin out or flip over and explode.

The game will make a sound and the enemy vehicle will disappear from your minimap when a successful takedown has been accomplished.

While in a vehicle, tapping cn_LB cycles available targets, starting with tires at first (triangle reticule), cycling to fuel tank (square reticule), occupants (circle reticule), then back to tires again.

Lincoln will aimbot when in a car and a green icon means a guaranteed hit when you fire with cn_RB.

When taking over territories there's a few of the missions that provide infinite opportunities. You'll see red vehicles and just follow them and shoot the tires out. Frisco Fields's PCP mission was one of the easiest since the taxis are fairly slow. I found it easiest to get a fast car and get behind the enemy vehicle. Get to the right side and shoot out at the back passenger's side tire. Then move to the right side and take out the driver's back tire.

You may want to upgrade your pistol perks if you haven't. (Extra ammo is helpful. Not sure if extra accuracy helps either.)

Just wanna say that there's a few turret car chased scene in the DLC "Stones Unturned".. those turret kills counts and should be enough for this achievement.

I have had a lot of troubles getting this trophy too. I just managed it today with the new update 1.10. I reinstalled game, started new game and as soon as I had unlocked weapon van, I hunted down the trophy, and finally got it. Not sure if you need to reinstall game and start new save, but do consider it, if you update game and still can't unlock it. :)

+1 Tsukimi, the turret chase during Devotchka in the Stones Unturned DLC is perfect to pop this. Worked for me. For a sec I thought I had been bugged out but then it popped :)

There's a mission in the stones where you'll be on the gunner seat, possibly the easiest way to get this. Just blast every thing.

I've got it, when a passenger in my car shot out pursuing vehicles, so it seems that those count too. Cannot confirm it though, because this game does not track achievement progress.

The game never tells you how to do a vehicle takedown and this solution made me load a video to learn something that could have been conveyed by the author with a single sentence:

You take down vehicles by shooting tires.

A vehicle takedown is done by shooting at, and destroying, other vehicles whilst driving one yourself.

Toggling cn_L1 button whilst driving will bring up your aim reticule. With high aim assist, the reticule will automatically target parts of enemy vehicles, such as tires, gas tanks, etc.. you can switch between them by tapping cn_L1. Your targeted area is also described in the bottom right of the screen.

I’ve found the best way to do this is to approach the enemy vehicle from behind (The drug dealing taxis are great candidates), aim at the fuel tank at the rear, and let off seven or eight quick rounds. The tank catches fire and explodes before any of the occupants can get out.

For those of you have have finished the game and want to mop this up, this can be done with police cars too.

First, pick a pistol with high ammo capacity and make sure it’s fully loaded. Get in a car and press to aim. You can only fire at hostile enemy vehicles or the police. Pressing will automatically target the tires, engine or the driver and any passengers, and tapping will cycle through the targets. To takedown a vehicle you can either shoot all 4 tires, shoot the car until the engine blows, or shoot the driver which is the easiest.
