How to unlock the Back in the Day achievement in Saints Row IV - Definitive Guide

Back in the Day - 10G (Original Achievement)

To get this Achievement, you must spend 2 hours with any past homies from Saints Row 1, 2, or 3. These 2 hours must be spent outside of any form of mission, you must be in the simulation and NOT on the ship, and you must call your homies to you via phone (obviously).

This includes Johnny Gat, Ben King, Shaundi, Pierce, Kinzie, and Matt. There is a rumor about Tanya and Julius possibly working but I haven't confirmed that so I wouldn't bother to be safe.

Now another thing to note is that there is a challenge for spending 2 hours with homies as well. This challenge counts the time you spend with them in missions and will usually be completed before you unlock the Achievement, so dont freak out and think you were glitched.

A good way to get this would be to jump onto a rooftop (so aliens wont bother you) and call any of the homies I listed above (I called Johnny, Shaundi, and Pierce), then simply watch t.v. or do homework etc. until the two hours pass by. Just make sure to check if your controller disconnected every now and then.

I can tentatively confirm that Julius counts, on PC anyway. For the last leg of the achievement I had Julius following me, along with Maero.

I only called Maero about 2 minutes before the achievement popped, and before that it was just me and Julius for about 10-15 minutes. The catch is, I have no idea how long I had left on the achievement. Still, its way more likely that it was Julius who triggered it.

I think it is also worth pointing out that setting a waypoint and traveling to a mission seems to count towards the achievement because mine popped as I was following a waypoint to start a mission.

Well you traveling to a mission is still in the simulation so not much different than walking aimlessly or standing on a rooftop for a while.

I never call for homies help, I made it idle.

This one isn't hard at all I figure you could probably tell just from reading it. I was running around the city getting logs and destroying statues and had Johnny, Pierce, and Shaundi following me after a while it just pops not bad.

Do you need all 3 of them simultaneously? Or will having just 1 spawned work?

Having just one should be fine, I only had all three with me one time and it wasn't for the full 2 hours.

I just got it, but had spent most of the time with Matt and C.I.D. Guess it doesn't matter which homies you use.

It has to be past saints characters. For example you got it because you had Matt and he's in Saints Row the third. smile

I had Shaundi join me when I grinded out the 'Distance Travelled in Alien Vehicle' challenge and that worked fine also.

I did it this way too, for those who may be unsure the challenge counts time spent with normal Saints footsoldiers as well as 'Homies'.

you can have up to 3 followers, so yes you can do it with velociraptor ned in your party.

I unlocked the challenge before the achievement as well. I don't think there's a counter for this achievement, and the challenge counts time in missions to i'm pretty sure.

After beating the game, you can call the heroes of SR3 (Shaundi, Pierce and Gat) and just run around the city with them for 2 hours.
