How to unlock the Goon De-leet achievement in RAGE 2 - Definitive Guide
So Goons are not just any bandit faction, they are the ones that have the crazy blue or pink hair and occupy all of the pit stops. They got the whole biker gang thing going on, minus bikes.
1,337 goons cannot be killed naturally in one playthrough, even if you clear the entire map. So pick a spot, most likely a goon den or pit stop with a low level (no more than 5 or 6) and a lot of goons. Once you’ve killed everyone you want to, save your game, and reload that save. You’ll be right outside your location and everyone will have respawned.
Note: As of the first patch, you can actually replay bandit dens. So if you find a low level den that you find better than the spot i've picked go nuts. That said, it looks like you can ONLY replay bandit dens. Pit stops, road blocks, etc. will still be blocked off after completion. Thanks to Dritnul for this information.
With the pit stop I picked, I could get 18 kills every run, and got almost 500 in about 45 minutes. It’s the Boombox location a decent amount north (but still in the same faction area) of the Chazcar racetrack. If you start this from 0 kills it should take around 2 hours, maybe less depending on how good your spot is.
Just create a new game on easy, I didn't want to either but trust me it will save you loads of time instead of trying to find random groups of goons around the map to kill. At first I thought I only needed a few more considering I did every possible "found" location on the map but hours later I've only managed to find maybe like 50 more goons from when I started.
So as far for the new game, speed through the intro as fast as possible, and don't worry about any power ups or anything other than this achievement. I did go through a bunch of dens to see which was more efficient and "Doomsayers Peak" is definitely the most valuable. Just head north till you get past the first "Highroad Block" and keep an eye out for a dirt road on the left shortly after. As soon as you get your Phoenix just head right over here and start slaughtering away. Pick any route you choose as long as you save the top guys, where you have to ride the elevator to get to, for last. In the final room is one big guy and 4-5 regular goons. Simply kill the regulars and then save and load. Rinse and repeat. Each pass nets about 50-60 goons and can be completed in about 5 minutes, even faster once you get this down. I completed my achievement halfway through the fourth run with an additional 200 kills needed. Getting about 20 wingstick headshots along the way. This was definitely worth it for me so hopefully it helps you guys out too.
Once you pick your spot just make a manual save before going in. Then kill them all but one unless your fast enough to pause and reload your manual save before it shows the capture screen. Not necessary but saves times. You can look at your stats page when you start and check once in a while to see how fast your getting your kills. Although the stats page is way off for all the stats right now. Just keep going and the achievement will eventually pop upon the last kill.
You can find them throughout the world travelling in large convoys. You can also find them in Bandit Dens in the Torn Plains, Twisting Canyons and Broken Tract regions.
If you wish to get this trophy done as quickly as possible, you can farm the kills at Bandit Dens by killing Goons until you only have one remaining, and then loading your last autosave. It will keep the progress towards the trophy and allow you to kill the enemies again.
This will probably be the last trophy and naturally you will only earn maybe half of the requirements. This will lead to a hefty post game grind. Find a location that contains a lot of Goon Squad enemies, Doomsayer Peak is a good choice. Save your game, kill all but one enemy, and then reload your save. Rinse and repeat. There is no need to start this too early and if you plan on doing New Game+ you could wait until then to finish it off.
This is likely to be the last achievement you unlock as even after completing everything else I personally only had around half of the required kills and had to grind for the remainder.
The best method I found was to find a location that contains Goon Squad enemies, Doomsayer Peak is probably one of the better locations due to it having a high amount of enemies, then making a save before entering the location. Once you enter it proceed to kill ALL BUT ONE of the enemies, then reload your save to be on the outskirts of the location with all enemies returned to their positions. It is important that you leave at least 1 person alive, since if you kill them all, the location objective completes and the enemies do not respawn.
Repeat as necessary, though leave this until the end since you will be killing Goon Squad enemies throughout the game so you don't need to grind them all.

For example, the place is Gasoline Gorge , near the city of Source , just kill everyone and restart the checkpoint. The main thing is not to complete the task.
