How to unlock the Saint Honoré achievement in The Saboteur - Definitive Guide
If you still need to earn enough Contraband to sell 75k worth, here is a quick way to get some. (You should note that if you want to 100% complete the game, you will gain enough contraband through normal gameplay of clearing the maps of all Nazi towers, AA guns, sniper nests, etc.)
1. Go to the Champs Elysees area. (I did this after I had completed the main story)
2. Locate that large "round-about" on the map with the design of a sun/star in it.
3. Directly to the SE there is a large building that is off limits and will cause nazi to attack when you are in the area. Go to the South side of the building and use the elevator to reach the roof.
4. In the SW corner of the roof, there is an AA Missile turret. Once the enemies in the area are killed, jump on the turret and look to the sky for a Zepplin and shoot it down.
5. After shooting the Zepplin and gaining contraband for it, spin the turret around and find another Zepplin to shoot. You can continue to spin the turret and find more and more Zepplins that respawn when you look away. I found 2 to 3 zepplins in every 360 degree spin of the turret.
(A tip from PiCkLE SQU1D: Fire twice at the Zepplin then start turning before it blows up. It seems to make the Zepplins spawn faster and will cut down on your time.)
I am guessing there are other spots where this could be done as well, but this one works for sure. This would only work if you havent destroyed that AA Missile Turret yet. If you have destroyed the turrets on this building, I would try another turret in the Southern part of Paris (Area 3) since there tend to be more Zepplins in that area.

Go around, blow up stuff, use up all of your explosives (excluding grenades). Then Die, re-spawn at the HQ.
When the game reloads, head over to the nearest smuggler and max-out the ammo for every thing. Total around 2,000. Then repeat.
Get the Terror Scope Sniper Rifle and the Panzershrek and go to the smuggler in Chinatown. Climb on the roof right above him and unload everything. The rifle is auto so you just have to hold the button. No one can spot you, in most cases, and if they do there is a safehouse shack right there to reset your alarm level.
When you unload all of your ammo for these two weapons and throw all of your grenades, drop back down and buy ammo for 860 each trip. I usually don't bother with the dynamite and RDX because it takes too long. This way is a bit more boring but it does keep you out of trouble.
I just bought the Gold perk for sniping and it didn't affect my achievements.
Best moment for grenade throw is moment for reloading panzershrek or other gun.
Sean just throw grenade but weapon is reloaded immediatelly too :) just hold RT and after panzershrek shoot press RB
Terror MG is faster but ammo are less cost
Panzershrek + TerrorMG + Grenades = 440
Panzershrek + Terrorscope Rifle + Grenades = 860
Thanks for solution
- Set the game difficulty to Feckin' Hard.
- Go to a safe house with a Weapon Dealer inside: the church in Le Havre for example.
- Kill yourself just outside the doorway. A couple of grenades should do it.
- You will spawn back inside the safe-house.
- Go to the Dealer. All of the ammo for every weapon you own will have dropped.
- You should refill all weapons to maximum.
- If you have already bought all the available weapons, this will cost 2,120.
- Repeat this around 12 or 15 times to reach the 75,000 required.
The trophy will pop once you hit 75,000.
Simply buy everything you can; purchase all upgrades, maps and restock your charges and ammo on a regular basis. This should unlock in Act 2 or Act 3, depending how much mayhem you cause. It is recommended that you wait until you’ve completed all the freeplay events to do this.
If you still have not spent enough by the end of the story, set the difficulty to ‘Feckin' Hard’ to lose all ammunition as you die and kill yourself with two grenades or Dynamite/RDX. On this difficulty, dying results in you losing all of your ammo. You’ll respawn at the nearest headquarters, so proceed to refill your ammo. You’ll spend around 2125 each time, so just keep checking your progress in the stats menu.
Once you’ve spent 75000 contraband, the achievement will unlock.
