How to unlock the Chain Smoker achievement in The Saboteur - Definitive Guide

The idea here is to have Sean light 100 cigarettes. There are 2 ways to do this: stand still and push LS in or just stand still for a while. Obviously, it's much faster just to hit LS and tell him to do it rather than waiting for him to light one on his own. You must be outside before you can light up.

If you wish to light several cigarettes in a row, when Sean is holding the currently lit one in his hand, move and he'll throw it to the ground. If it is in his mouth, he'll walk along with it still there, blocking you from lighting another one.

To keep your sanity, it would be best to try to remember to light a cig or 2 after every mission or freeplay event. This will get you the achievement (or at least a good amount of progress towards it) by the time you are done with the story. If you don't want to wait for it or completed everything else and didn't think about taking steps to allow for occasional cigarettes during progress towards other achievements, just standing around lighting cig after cig will likely take you around 20 minutes just to get the required amount.

I had originally thought this was 100 cigs in one sitting, awesome to find out it's not.

Worth mentioning that it shows how many cigarettes you've smoked on the stats screen. Second page (the one actually titled Stats, not Progress) at the very bottom of the list.

I was able to complete this in about 25minutes by doing the following:
1. Click the L stick to initiate the smoking.
2. Once the lighter is back in his coat move slightly in order to drop the cigarette.
3. Repeat.
Note:This will get boring so do it while your busy doing something else like talking on the phone etc.

I found the easiest way to obtain this is to plug in your controller or use a wired controller, go into an open area in the game, and jack your right analog stick to the side.

Walk away from your xbox or go to sleep and in a little while you will have smoked 100 cigarettes without idling out or pausing.

The screen will spin but you will still smoke til you get cancer, and the achievement of course

he should start smoking by himself but not a bad bit of advice

Used the plug and play controller, had Sean hang out in the slaughterhouse HQ, walked away for a couple of hours and the cheeve popped.

Great guide .. The only thing I would add to that is .. My guy wouldn't start smoking by himself when I jacked the controller to the right. I just had to click in the "LS" button in to make him start smoking first and then from there he began to smoke until he got cancer. I don't know if it just takes awhile the other way or .. But I would just use your method your described and then as soon as he starts spinning .. Just click "LS" to start him off and he will continue from there. +1 vote from me though! :)

When standing still click in both joysticks and Sean will give himself cancer. Do that 100 times in total and you'll get this trophy. He'll also do it by himself if left alone so you can just watch tv for an hour or so and he'll take care of all the work.

To smoke a cigarette, all you have to do is stand still and press . He will reach into his coat and light a cigarette. Wait for him to take one drag and exhale. Then move him slightly so that he drops the cigarette. Repeat 100 times for this one to pop. You should be smoking whenever you find yourself waiting. For example: When stealth killing generals, you will have to wait for the suspicion to recede after killing his two body guards. Use that time to work on this trophy. You can track your total at the bottom of the second stat page. Remember, you do not have to wait for him to finish the cigarette.

You have to smoke 100 Cigarettes for this achievement.  The count is cumulative throughout the game. You can press while standing still to have Sean smoke one. You can check your progress in the stats menu.

If you need to step away from the game, plug in your controller with Sean standing still and he will smoke while you are idling.

You just need to smoke 100 cigarettes, the easiest way is to leave the game, and go drink coffee, and Sean will just stand and sip cigarettes, the main thing is to rarely look at the gamepad from the console, it can turn off from inactivity, it’s better than staring at the screen and tormenting right stick, poking at it every now and then.
