How to unlock the Red, White & Blue Sevens achievement in Rango - Definitive Guide

Replaying the first level was netting me 10,000 up to the first jack in the box and then after that you come to a rolly polly guy DON'T attack the big guy and let him spawn the little ones and charge your tongue attack and take out the little guys if or when your combo is full (after about 10) you will get 100 melee bonus each kill. They drop stars constantly for a while but then stop but you still get the melee bonus. 6 little guys per spawn so 600 every couple seconds the trick is not getting hit by the big guy rolling as well as not killing him. This should cut down the times you have to replay level one. Wouldn't be bad but the cut scenes are not skippable.

can you spend the money and still counts or you have to have 200000 in one time?

Also to add. Just a little bit of info. When you kill the group of little buggers before he spits out more you get another 100. Meaning the last one you kill will net you 200. Not much more but thought i would add my 2 cents. +1 from me

What was surprising me was that I didn't have even 100k after finishing the game. Great strategy thanks.

Thanks for this guide. Took me about 30 minutes to get around 130,000 stars. Positive vote given.

Sorta works..When you get up to the ending area the big guy keeps spitting but the stars stop popping like IDaddyB mentions.

Great solution. I got 130,000 or so in about 30 minutes. (Don't forget to hold 'X' again right after you use the tongue move, if you hit 'X' right after using it you will negate the 1 second animation of Rango swinging his fist).

I only get 200 or so per group. it's quite pitiful really. I am curious how you all are getting "130k in 30 minutes" as at this rate I will be on this for ours.

I can only get a 5x multiplier... making each kill worth 25 rather than 100... Am I doing something wrong?

By mudder85 on 18 Sep 2014 05:03
you are getting hit, so your multiplier is going down.

just to add to this great solution. You want to make sure your charged attack is fully upgraded (2 categories), and if you do kill the rolly polly, just quit out and select "continue story" you'll be put back right with him and you'll keep your stars.

Note: I didn't know this but you can run around and hold x to charge your tongue attack.

the easiest way:
Starts Level 8 ("Nowhere and Back"). At the end of the level comes the part where you "ride" on a fish. This is now picking up as many of the big stars sheriff. After going down the red carpet, pausing the game, start new story and it starts again at the beginning of the fish-scene (not complete at the beginning level).Around 7,000 sheriff's star in about 3 minutes are possible!

i'm confused, i quit and continued at the red carpet, but I get sent back to the part near the end where the TV's are crashing down and only get about 1000 before i'm back at the red carpet, is that what everyone else is getting?

This is the best time efficient method and to answer your question mydefposse your reloading the checkpoint, you need to restart the tale, it automatically goes back to the part after the 8-bit world

I preferred this to killing those spiky rolly pollies on level 1. You should make it more obvious that you need to Pause and select 'Restart Tale' instead of putting 'start new story'
+1 from me anyway.

You can save some time and restart when Rango says, "Come on, Mr. Tibbs, get us out of here!"

There are 68 total stars to collect in this section and each star gives you 105 sheriff stars providing you have your star output for smashed objects maxed out

So providing you don’t miss any 68x105=7140

Wish I would have read the comments first. I guess you need to select restart tale from the pause menu, not 'Start a new Story'. I actually completely exited the level to select a tale. Now I have to take the time to go through that level again...

Similar to what EliteEdawg420 posted, on the very first level, when you get to the "boss" (when the game tells you to use the charge attack to kill enemies for melee) when the "mom" spits out the six babies, you can continue to run around and kill the babies *MAKE SURE YOU USE THE CHARGE ATTACK* and gain 100 coins for each baby you kill. Even if coins are not falling, you get points. I personally reached a streak of 400 and got over 100,000 sheriff stars in one play through. Special thanks to WLC93 and RhoUrOwnDmnBoat for helping to encourage my pursuit of 200,000 sheriff stars! :)

It is 200k total. I had already purchased all of the upgrades when I got this, so spend away.

Ok to get the 200,000 stars ach fast, i find it strange that the guide says play upto the jack in the box and restart lvl1 because in my opinion that exactly the place u want to get to i think he missed the point of grinding, what i found way easier was upgrade the chardged attack to 3 stars and its range to 3, then when u go through after the jack in a box to the rolling worm at the end of lvl 1, do not attack the rolling worm it will spit out 6 small spiky worms, charge your attack with X and run around and take out the small worms sometimes u can get em all with one hit giving u around 1000 stars try not to hit the rolling worm, the rolling worm will just keep spitting em out with the melee attack bonus, multiplier and streak bonus's i was getting 30,000 stars in about 10 mins and no reloads or movies to withstand, much much quicker imo.

update:
sorry some confusion for some here becasue i did this after i fiished the game completely and had all upgrades just needed the stars ach.. and i thought most ppl would do the same but i guess if u try to do it on the 1st lvl on your initial playthrough u gonna have problems. U need all upgrades to get the multiplier's etc.. working correctly otherwise it will take longer.

Credit due to Suki at xbox360 achievements.org just thought you guys would enjoy this.

Same method as EliteEdawg420. I tried it on the first stage as well as "Return of the rattlesnake Jack" stage.

Everything being equal (20x multiplier and fully upgraded charge attack and charged attack range), I preferred the later stage as there are more enemies and the worm is right at the start and more powerful (less prone to accidental kill) and split out more small worms at a faster pace.

The disadvantage is of cos the explosive nature of the small worms (tendency to get injured when using your charged attack). However if both your charge speed and range are fully upgraded, then it's not really an issue.

Got the achievement within 30 minutes.

You can collect Sheriff Stars by breaking crates, killing enemies, and performing other actions. Spending Sheriff Stars does not effect this achievement in any way. I would recommend that you spend your Sheriff Stars on upgrades that boost Sheriff Star output e.g. more Sheriff Stars for killing enemies. More than likely you won't have unlocked this by the end of the game. You can boost your total Sheriff Stars by using the method found HERE. (Thanks to Suki). To use this method, pick "Tale Select" instead of choosing a new game.

You collect Sheriff Stars by destroying crates, mining and defeating enemies. You will have to replay some levels again and grind your way to 200,000 required for this trophy. You will get the majority of your stars from killing enemies. You can increase the amount you get via multiplier bonus by defeating numerous enemies in a row without getting hit. The higher the number of enemies you've killed in a row, the higher the multiplier will go. This is very helpful as you can get a TON of stars this way, so always make sure that you avoid getting hit at all costs to keep the multiplier going.

To also help in your grinding effort towards this trophy, you will want to buy a few power-ups from Wounded Bird found in the different levels (he's the shop basically). The first time you will come across him is in the first stage (Jenkins Cousin's Homestead) right after you use power smash to break through a trap door on the ground. If you have over 2000, then you can get the main 3 you need immediately (if not, pick the other up next time you see him). The 3 you want increase sheriff star output for the following: "Dispatching Enemies In Combat" (Cost: 1000), "Smashing Objects" (Cost: 600), & "Mining" (Cost: 400). Each of these 3 items has 3 levels to them, each costing more than the previous. You will want to upgrade them as soon as you are able to (especially the enemies & the smashing objects ones).

Just keep grinding away in each stage making sure you kill everything, smash everything you can and mine all the mining spots, all while upgrading when possible to make it easier. Once you reach your cumulative goal of 200,000 (doesn't have to be 200,000 on you at one time), the trophy will pop! A super easy way to get this is to farm the Beetle boss at the end of Jenkins Cousins' Homestead. The following video shows the same trick but in the Rodent Den stage so you can do it either way (credit to shinshaobaka for the video):

At the end of the first level there is a caterpillar boss that gives birth to babies endlessly while she is alive. Bring the multiplier to 20 (by shooting at the small ones), then use charged attack (hold down ) or stun attack ( + ). For each small caterpillar give +100 melee attack. And so after 10 minutes we get 200,000 stars.

You need to collect only 200k, it is not necessary to have 200k at a time, so fully upgrade the sheriff, then farming on the first boss will be very fast and easy
