How to unlock the Ultimate Hot Potato achievement in Saints Row IV: Re-Elected - Definitive Guide

The Grenade Launcehr is a DLC weapon part of the 'Enter The Dominatrix' quests and is given to you right at the start of the first mission.

The easiest place to grind kills out is near the beginning of the second mission called 'Meet the Dominatrix', once Shaundi and Pierce are kidnapped you will get a 1 bar heat level and will be next to a Friendly Fire, so this is the perfect place to grind kills as your wanted level will not rise, no Wardens will show up and if you need to you can buy more ammo at the Friendly Fire.

Enemies will continually show up in groups of 2-3 cars

Note: Kills by blowing up the cars do count.

I just counted 200 kills; no achievement. That's 5 achievements that won't unlock now.

@COILED V1PER Thanks for this. Hardly any of the achievements were popping in game for me. Some would pop after quitting and restarting the game but your method worked every time.

When this achievement doesn't unlock you will have to go back to an old save where you didn't start working on Grenade Launcher kills. Load up the old save, get over 100 kills, go to the All achievements tab for Saints Row 4 and the achievement will unlock.

Luuc’s method/fix works great. I reloaded my save before I started the DLC and even used the Minigun in the first mission. Counted out 25 cars as I blew them up with the grenade launcher in the second mission and the achievement popped when I checked “all achievements”

This might be common sense but I missed it and wasted some time - these kills HAVE to come during DLC missions. I took all 3 weapons to normal missions and free roam and couldn't get the achievements to pop. When I stopped during the mission and racked up kills all three popped. Can also confirm that kills in cars do count, I don't think I killed more than 20 people when they were out of the car.

I just got this. If this isn’t working for anybody, my flamethrower achievement unlocked during gameplay, but grenade launcher and minigun didn’t among other achievements. I followed the guide above for the 3 DLC achievements. After exiting the mission, I died during free roam, did not quit the game, and then went to the achievements screen. Nothing had updated, however when I clicked on “all achievements” 3 popped including the launcher and minigun. Not sure what steps are necessary (dying, all achievements etc) but this is how mine unlocked. The achievements seems super buggy for updating and unlocking but mine only popped and updated after visiting “all achievements” and clicking on the game there.

Edit: It seems there’s no need for death, just go to “all achievements” to unlock them.

At the start of mission 2, the first place you have to go is right next to a Friendly Fire so stop in there, upgrade all your weapons, and then continuously kill the respawning enemies that conveniently spawn in the cars in threes and fours. Your wanted level will never go above one bar in this place either making the grinding pretty easy. Thanks to Dark x Materials for this method.

This and the previous 2 trophies are unlocked for killing a certain number of enemies with weapons given to you in this DLC. You'll get a choice between the three at the start of the DLC, then unlock all 3 for use in free roam and/or later in the DLC after completing the first mission. Even if you don't change your weapon of focus at all, if you haven't worried about killing much other than required, you'll probably get none of these naturally, so this will require some grinding. The best way by far is by replaying the second mission as there are a ton of enemies here. You can change weapons (although you can't change mid mission) by going to a portal or friendly fire. It'll take a few replays of the second mission to get them all.

To easily achieve the trophy you need:

1) Select the desired weapon in the simulation, in the weapons store, this weapon is in the online arsenal

2) Load the mission from the add-on “Enter the Dominatrix” - “Meeting the Mistress”

3) After you are given the opportunity to save your friends, and one of them goes to save others, you DO NOT go to sleep, but simply kill all the “Slave Mistresses” from the required additional weapon

A couple of tips:

- You should go through it after the end of the story in order to have unlimited ammo, or you can try to get the trophy with limited ammunition.

- You can easily complete a couple of kill tests there, as well as a trophy for using abilities - “1000 kills” .
