How to unlock the Rigging the Race achievement in Saints Row IV - Definitive Guide

This is the 3rd mission in the DLC. Its called At the Races. Beat the first part where you are in a strip club. Then when you are put as the gunner in the chariot race this achievement will start. The goal here is to shoot enemy " drivers " ( The person running not shooting ). This will cause the carts to explode. I missed it my first go because I was using the Sub machine gun. The best weapon I say to use is the DISINTEGRATOR as it is a one shot kill.This gun is in the Assault Rifle class. The TA community has posted in the comments that the THUMPGUN is the gun to use. Try both. Then Shoot at the person running and they should explode the cart! Explode every cart before zimo crosses the finish line. You can replay this mission once you beat the DLC so don't worry about making a separate save. This goes for all the mission achievements. If you miss a cart or you cross the finish line and you didnt get the achievement make sure you pause and restart the checkpoint so you dont have to replay the whole mission.

Here is a visual guide from achievementhunter:

Ugh, the last two carts are a bitch to blow up as you are going around that curve. I CANNOT get the last one.

You can also add that you can restart the checkpoint if you missed 1 or 2 and you are close to the finish line. This will save time for redoing the whole mission just for this part. When you reload the checkpoint, you will be back at the beginning of the race, so you don't have to redo the strip club part at all.

@xhunter x360a, try to destroy the last 2 when they go down from the small bridge/hill, it's an almost straight line. When it's curving, it's really hard to aim correctly.

I actually found it easier using the fully upgraded Thumpgun

Seconded with the Thumpgun. The real difficulties are the furry-pulled carts as they have a lot of health. The Disintegrator is a OHKO, but the charge-time, even when fully upgraded is a killer as your cart moves around a lot. The Thumpgun does lots of damage and kills the furries quickly, especially at the end when you have the last two carts that appear on the ramp before the curve.

Absolute doddle using the Thumpgun if you've got it fully upgraded, it's definitely the tool of choice for this achievement

Thumpgun for the win. Fast firing, high damage and quick cooldown if you end up overheating. Thanks

This is really hard even with the video. I could never get the two from the last ramp down. Giving up already after 20+ attempts.

Thanks for the guide. I'd definitely edge towards the Disintegrator. I failed 3 times in a row using only the Thump Gun, I tried once with the Disintegrator and pulled it off first time. +1

upgraded the thumpgun and did it on my first try (my very first try was with the submachine gun, but that failed). very very easy, even had some boring seconds left. achievement popped as soon as I killed off the last contestant, before even finishing the race.

Tough as hell. I used both the disinigrator and thump gun. Disinigrator for furries.

Maybe that you need to upgrade both guns, without upgrades its almost impossible the higher the easier

I used the 'Reynolds .50 HMG', fully upgraded....and works wonders!!! It's the other weapon in the 'customized' section. Looks like a sholuder-mount, like a rifle, except it's the Browning .50 (heavy machine gun). Hope this helps. :)

I was really struggling on this using the disintigrator. But the fully leveled thump gun makes it really easy. :)

I did this on the 360, and Re-elected after many tries each with standard disintigrator and thump gun. I used a fully upgraded disinitigrater on Re-elected (AU) and got it in one try. I was unable to locate a thump gun to upgrade it prior to starting the race.

I also recommend the thumpgun. Tried the disintegrator on my first try, and I missed like 5 carts.

It's important to know that you should have the Thumpgun or Disintegrator fully upgraded. I tried this about 15 times with the base guns and could not get it. It took me one try after upgrading them. I used the fully upgraded submachine gun for the first four carts at the start line and then the fully upgraded Thumpgun for the rest, easy.

used the disintegrator for most, thumpgun if they were too many/close. Disintegrator the cart right at the end of the finish line coming off the off ramp, couldn't reach it with the thumpgun

What worked for me on the last set of carts before the final curve was to aim for the one furthest away from you first. The cart that was furthest away was always the first one that I lost sight of as I rounded the curve. Taking it out first worked wonders.

I was never able to do this on SR4. I was playing Re-Elected on Xbox One and got it first time. I alternated between the thumpgun and heavy SMG. The heavy SMG was especially useful for the last two carts that are so far away as you approach the end point. I just spammed it and both carts exploded.

The other solutions are OK, but I was still having trouble finishing this one. What would happen would be that the final 2 carts would be too far away for me to hit them. I solved this by not shooting one of the other carts so there were 3 carts near the end instead of only those last 2. For some reason this put those last 2 carts much closer so they were easier to shoot.
Don't worry if the other carts get ahead of you, I don't think they will ever win. Once the other cart that was ahead was actually stuck on a pole so it couldn't finish.
Use the Thmpgun and make sure it's fully upgraded.
Finally if you fail, hit start and restart from checkpoint. This will keep you from having to do the whole mission again, it will start you at the race beginning instead.
I don't believe if you hit the carts after that black flag covers the screen counts cause I did that once and didn't get this. If you see the black flag, hit the start button on your controller to restart from the checkpoint.

Upgrade your thump gun and Disintegrater and it makes it so much easier. I failed to kill them all about 20 times, upgraded them fully and got it my first try.

I can't agree with this more, if you haven't already fully upgraded the disintigrater it will be ten times harder at least. I never had luck with the thump gun so I can comment on that.

This trophy can be a little annoying, especially as this section is at the very end of the mission. You take part in a pony cart race, but you need to cheat a bit and kill all of the other participants. The best way to do this is to shoot each 'pony' with the disintegrator, which is an instant kill despite it being difficult to aim at times. The competitors at the start aren't the only ones, as more come in later. If you feel like you won't get them all, press and restart that section. If you get to the end of the race without this trophy, you'll need to replay the whole mission, meaning you'll have to complete the DLC first to have this option. The trophy will unlock upon destroying the last pony cart.

The main thing is to have time to finish the last two who are running over the ramps, it is better to use a disintegrator

It is better to use a shotgun weapon (an alien analogue of the earthly one), because it destroys carts with runners in 1-2 hits. You can also use other weapons, but they are scattered far away.

The best weapon here is a pumped-up THUMPGUN
