here’s a total of 15 Gang Hideouts to complete. All should be revealed to you as you take down ctOS Towers (for the two in Pawnee, complete Act 3) and are shown on the map by a blue fist icon.

If you not have any Icon left drive lose to those location, and check if they get remotely activated.

Once a Gang Hideout shows up on your map, head to it’s location to find a small area swarming with enemies. All you’re tasked with is find out which one is you target and either taking them down or killing them. Normal do go stealthy to find out whats the Target or using the Cameras, but that take to long. I’ll recommend using a ctOS Scan, the Target will always be Level 2 Guy with no Armor or Helm on – this lets you finish the Gang Hideouts faster ;)

Unlocks: AK-47, Rapid Reload Skill and the Spec Ops SMG-11

If you vote bad, tell me why :(

Nah, i got everhideout after act 3, then its bugged like thr Rest oft The game

By King fiShiZ on 31 May 2014 07:17

This one is glitched for me. I already got all 15 hangouts before finishing even Act I and it never popped up. Going to see if I have to progress through the rest of the story and see if it changes after Act III but I doubt it.

By StarfuryDysan on 31 May 2014 23:00

Maybe I am blind but where is number 5

By MasterMason420 on 01 Jun 2014 00:29

at the Docks? ;)

By King fiShiZ on 01 Jun 2014 10:27

Guess it helps when you click the pic lol

By MasterMason420 on 02 Jun 2014 08:30

You can get it done before Act 3 - I've just completed them all after "Blank Spot Over There Ish"

By Hirsute Dave on 02 Jun 2014 14:08

Im at 14/15 and the last doesn't show up. I drove to all 15 spots and been to them all already. Beat the campaign, and only need one more SP to get my last skill as well. Really irritating me.

By GrumpySnyper on 03 Jun 2014 04:54

I'm at the same point as CTM AudiRS6. I'm at 14/15. Beat the campaign, and only need one more SP to get my last skill. This bloody thing will just not show up! I hope it hasn't glitched out on me.

By TwiiSteD BeAsT on 03 Jun 2014 13:00

Same as Twiisted and CTM Done game 14/15 last 1 wont unlock :(

By S Conway LE on 03 Jun 2014 17:59

Ive been to all locations also and nothing appeared. Frustrating.

By S Conway LE on 03 Jun 2014 22:24

Just watched this entire video of all 15 points, and I remember all of them, though the only one I don't explicitly remember is the 9th one by the chess game in Brandon Docks. So I drove over there, went in to the docks, went to the chess area, tried scanning people, and nothing.

I did a fixer car delivery that ended up putting me on the little island of Mad Mile. Had a local crime pop up, did that, and a guy walked by that gave me the hack for the last gang hideout. So maybe walk around that island a bit hacking people and maybe you will find him. There are two bridges that go from the little island to the big one. If you go across the lower of the two bridges (going from big island towards little island) there is a parking lot directly to the left after the bridge. That is where I was when he walked by.

By GrumpySnyper on 03 Jun 2014 23:14

I went there did the local crime, but no guy walked buy the only thing im hacking of people are bank accounts....

By S Conway LE on 04 Jun 2014 00:11

Did you watch through the vid to see which one you need? Im sure everything is all random, but if you are missing the same one I was, maybe returning to that area now and again may bring him up. If its a different one, maybe you get it from someone else? Basically played over 7 hours of the game before it finally popped up. Hate achievements like this.

By GrumpySnyper on 04 Jun 2014 00:24

Stuck on 14/15 completed Campaign as well :/ and checked every point

By Phycz on 04 Jun 2014 10:29

I'm back, considering the Hideout just popped up about 30 seconds ago. I was doing the Human Trafficking investigations. The case was quite a bit away so I fast travelled to the east hideout in the Brandon Docks area and it popped up saying "Gang Hideout". I hope this works for you guys who are having trouble with this like I was.

By TwiiSteD BeAsT on 05 Jun 2014 14:22

I've traveled to and rested at every hideout and my last one didn't pop up. Im running out of ideas :/

By Pecorleone on 10 Jun 2014 14:47

I've done all 15 now and the achievements hasn't unlocked. The tracker on the achievement app says it's at 93% when i have 15 out of 15 done. I haven't finished act 2 yet, so i don't know if that's got anything to do with anything. Any ideas?

By True XenoBlade on 11 Jun 2014 22:20

I can't find the last one. Traveled and circled the 15 areas and nothing.

By GIG Guerra on 15 Jun 2014 02:38

Ive completed the story, and done all gang hideouts with no achievement unlocking, as it states ive only done 14/15, however watching the video of the 15, I remember doing every single one.. Anyone any ideas or does it mean a deletion of saved game and start again.

By Scottish Nutter on 21 Jun 2014 14:37

#6 on the map pic above wont appear for me. At 14/15, I've done like three convoy missions to try and make it appear (read somewhere that doing other side missions might make it appear) but nothing. Hacking random ppl hasn't given anything but cash and petty crime locations. Done with campaign no problem and now this stupid glitch on what should be a straight forward easy achievement.

By FluffyBuds on 25 Jun 2014 01:19

Xbox live was down last hour and I completed the last one not realising it had signed me out of xbox live so the cheev didn't pop is there any way to replay these?

By TheSign88 on 30 Jul 2014 23:54

You don't need to be online, to unlock achievements

By King fiShiZ on 31 Jul 2014 05:37

I know that, but last night when it went down it signed me out as I was supposed to unlock it but somehow still saved my progress in game but no achievement unlocked my tracker now reads 83%

By TheSign88 on 31 Jul 2014 10:54

Hmm, you cant play without a Profile - if so you should contact Ubisoft.
But this Game / Unlock Progress is bugged as every Ubisoft Game, don't get your hope up :(

By King fiShiZ on 31 Jul 2014 10:57

Also 14/15 Gang Hideouts here, i've had so many bugs in this fcking game so far - really ruined it for me. Regret buying this piece of crap game.

By Jerick85 on 14 Aug 2014 15:23

Achievements are down again that was my problem checj the microsoft service update

By TheSign88 on 14 Aug 2014 18:13

Im not getting my 15th gang hideout, which has nothing to do with the achievement not unlocking Adam..

By Jerick85 on 14 Aug 2014 20:52

i completed the 15th, the chevio tracker says 100%, but the acheivement didnt pop...any ideas or anyone experiencing this?

By ch1cag0steve on 17 Aug 2014 03:13

For all the people who finish all 15 bases and the tracker says 100%, the achievement will unlock eventually while playing. The achievements have been broken for over a week across xbox one on general. My achievement popped during a random story mission, it will unlock just gotta be patient as to when.

By True XenoBlade on 17 Aug 2014 04:27

Next day after random mission my 15/15 100% popped (with the correct date and order it was achieved)

By ch1cag0steve on 17 Aug 2014 19:43

for me it is "street cleaning" (No. 9) in the north of the Loop that is not appearing! Any tipps how to make this hideout appear?
Thanks!

By PendiRulz on 18 Sep 2014 18:51

I'm in the same boat, don't know which one it is, just know that the 15th one isn't showing up on the map and hasn't since launch. Words can't describe my anger.

By BatMatt93 on 25 Sep 2014 09:51

It finally appeared for me! What I did was to finish 3 fixer contracts from the map (not the app) to make them disappear (as I only completed one until then). After completing an online tailing the last gang hideout location appeared.

By PendiRulz on 27 Sep 2014 23:02

Umm, I think you have to be online to unlock achievements on the X1.

By BiGPaPaRu on 07 Oct 2014 15:10

14/15 here...

By Iarsse on 20 Nov 2014 15:51

14/15 also. Such a shame this happens in games lol. I'm going to try and clean up everything else I have left and see if that spawns the last hideout.

By EmotiveDragon26 on 17 Dec 2016 01:59

The ctOS towers do not in any way shape or form give you access to the Gang Hideouts.

By Christoph 5782 on 04 Oct 2017 22:12

So can you just drive to one of those location and you will get a gang hideout notification or not? I'm not really sure how to get more to appear as I am missing two.

By NICK123Y on 05 Apr 2018 04:18

I used the video to work out the one missing and then i went in that area and completed some fixer missions and it unlocked the last one. I needed one on Brandon docks and it unlocked when completing the driving fixer contract on the very far right of that area

By YAT0 on 22 Jul 2020 21:15

Am unlucky the way it looks 13/15 2 aren't showing up, an I got no clue what ones it is since I went an did all the available ones

By tjw CENA2000 on 02 Oct 2020 17:09

Nice to see after 7 years, they still haven't fixed this garbage game's chievos. Xbox chievo tracker says 93%, but in game phone shows all hideouts as completed and no chievo pop. I even reset side missions and did all 15 again........nothing. Multiple chievos completed, but no credit for. Beyond BS. Will delete game and reinstall for one last hope.

By TrueWickedone on 16 Jul 2022 18:50

By GrumpySnyper on 03 Jun 2014 22:13

finished story and unlock all towers, dont have all markers though. pretty sure these are only unlocked by proximity detection or profiling/hacking a member.

By C M0NET on 31 May 2014 00:13

Hello guys, for those, like me, who are stuck at 14/15 gang hideouts with the last one (i suppose the one in Pawnee) never appearing on the map, here's a thing to try...

Go to your hideout in pawnee and... sleep... I tried everything to have that last GH pop up, turn off the console, use the profiler on hundred of peoples in town and around pawnee, finish the human traffic quests, etc... nothing ever worked for me...

Then I decided to take a sleep in the pawnee hideout, just to pass the nightime... I step outside the hideout, check my map... And boom ! Here it is, the last GH was just here on my map...

So... I don't know if it can help, but hey... If you're stuck like me, just give it a try !
Tell me if it helps anyone, and sorry for my bad english ! (I'm french, and haven't practiced my english in a loooonng time)

By CainX360 on 05 Jun 2014 15:21

Hi all!
For people who just started - forget about other side-missions and first do all convoy and gang hideouts.
Last mission is randomly spawn in both.
If you do all convoys and gang hideouts first and then you will go for other side-missions last mission will be spawned.

For people who done everything and still dont have last missions like me - restart side missions in options -> game (or something like this) -> restart side-missions.
Then first do type of missions that you need (convoy or gang hideout). Only this type of mission! If you do all 14 - start do other type. It will spawn sooner or later.

I done second method and I have all 15 missions in convoy and gang hideout.

Sorry for my english :D

By Utongus v2 on 29 May 2015 08:40

Okay, so after clearing some of the fixer contracts, the gang hideout appeared (like a crime detected would). So my advice would be to clear as many fixer contracts as possible if you're having issues with the locations showing up on the map. I didn't need to do the restart side missions method either.

P.S This is also the same for the last Criminal Convoy location. The last one didn't pop up for me so I did some more Fixer Contracts and then it appeared.

There are 15 Gang Hideouts in total and they will unlock via remote profiling as you unlock ctOS access in the various districts.

Here's how to clear a Gang Hideout.
1. Navigate to the location specified on your minimap.
2. Use cameras to locate and profile the target(s).
3. Make your way to the target(s) and knock them down (do not kill them).

After you've taken down the target(s), you'll be faced with one of 3 scenarios.
1. If you left no enemies standing, congratulations. You've cleared the Gang Hideout.
2. If you left enemies standing but haven't been detected, leave the shaded area to clear the Gang Hideout.
3. If you've been detected, you'll need to eliminate your pursuers or escape them to clear the Gang Hideout.

Here's some tips.
1. Use silenced weapons. You'll be harder to detect should you need to fire a weapon.
2. Use of your hacking tools is strongly encouraged. Apart from the lethal effects of some of them (rigging world objects to explode or hacking explosives), they can also draw enemies to a particular location or distract them long enough so that you can take them out with a weapon.
