Flawless Team Gang Wars Victory.

How to unlock the Sweep achievement in Max Payne 3 - Definitive Guide

this is called "sweep"
you need to play a gang war and win all 5 team gang war parts.
It's not too bad, I got this on my first try, just be on a good team. Its 8v8 so there isnt much you can do by yourself except play the objective or cover someone who is playing it.

EDITS
If you join in halfway and your team "sweeped" the other team, you don't get the achievement. Thanks to RSDAY for that.

and to all others who are mad about not being able to get it, I'm sorry I can't write a guide for unexpected online play. It pretty much is luck, I know I could write how to win each gametype, but they are pretty simple to understand.

Jameson says "I can confirm that this doesn't work in at least one case. I joined in the middle of the first round, but the game was the one where you only get one life, and if you die you're out. When I came in, I didn't get a life. I was basically in spectator mode for a minute or so, and the round ended. We swept all rounds, no achievement. Perhaps if it was a different game type and I could have participated in the first round, it would have been different."

Edit**
bblcreator8790 "You can start the match with as few as four people (2v2). It turns out that now this achievement is actually easy to boost in Free Aim because virtually no one plays the Free Aim playlists these days. I set up a boosting session a couple of days ago and we boosted this achievement for 5 people with no problem - didn't get a single random player in either of the matches. We were also able to boost other achievements while going for this one."

I haven't done it yet but what you said is clear I don't understand why someone have it a negative. "I guess with some men, brains were exclude from the deal. I had my gun & a headstart, wasn't much but when bullets are falling like raindrops, you take what you get."

I jumped into a game already in progress in round one, we won all the rounds including showdown and no achievement. So maybe it has to be from the start?

I haven't voted at all but I'll tell you why there have been negative votes:

- Best advice is "just be on a good team"

- No tips offered for the different game types

- You state you got it first try (which pisses people off if they've played 20+ games and won 4 out of 5 a dozen times).

- You got the achievement on release day. It's nearly impossible to win 5 from 5 now that people know how to play the game so you shouldn't be stating that it's easy or 'not too bad'.

-More info: can it be done in a private match or not? Or must be a full game, etc.

-Finally, and this is why EVERY solution has a negative vote or 2, you didn't physically win the achievement for them lol.

someone can test it in a private match and tell me if it works, I don't have friends who have this game, and I will try to make the solution better thanks for the feedback

Even though these two statements get me like a dead ringer, I'll still vote positive for you. This acheivement itself pisses me off though, lol

@LordOdadjin and a fuzzy lemming - I can confirm that this doesn't work in at least one case. I joined in the middle of the first round, but the game was the one where you only get one life, and if you die you're out. When I came in, I didn't get a life.

Upvoting to cancel out all the negative votes. There's nothing you can really do to get this achievement except be good, have good teammates, and be lucky.

I actually managed to idle this with a Hori controller. I just put both A and RT on auto fire and let it run while I slept. I know it's an asshole move, but I hate the MP on this game. I actually woke up to a frozen Xbox twice because of this POS game.

Man, you have no idea how many times I've had 4/5 games, it's unbelievably frustrating, especially when it feels like you're the only one going for the objective

Does this have to be 8v8 or can you start the match 2v2?

You can start the match with as few as four people (2v2). It turns out that now this achievement is actually easy to boost in Free Aim because virtually no one plays the Free Aim playlists these days. I set up a boosting session a couple of days ago and we boosted this achievement for 5 people with no problem - didn't get a single random player in either of the matches. We were also able to boost other achievements while going for this one.

I was so freaking lucky, I had pros on my team so I got it first try. And no, you can't unlock cheevos in private matches.

Also, many have already confirmed that you cannot get the achievement if you join midway into a match.

However, can you get the achievement if you join midway into the first round, and help your team win the first round + the four remaining rounds?

I want to point out that when you join the gang wars midway of first chapter, and provided that you spawn when you join the game you can still get this achievement.

This was what happened to me: We won the first two chapters but I got switched to the other team from the third chapter on. My new team won the last three chapters and I still got the achievement, so I can confirm that it still works - at least for me.

In the Gang Wars playlist there are 5 rounds of objectives were you and your team compete against another team. For this achievement you and your team will need to win all 5 rounds in one game.

You must win all 5 rounds in a row in the "Street Wars" mode.

If you are planning to play with friends, then I advise you to set the free aiming mode, since no one plays it and no one will be able to stop you from doing what you have planned.
