WhitneyGrand Theft Auto 4 Achievements- Independent Action
May 26th 2008 13:56
Grand Theft Auto IV has hit a huge popularity base with its release. You can hunt for a few easter eggs and find tons of tips for GTA IV, but besides online play, you can attempt the fifty unique achievements that can be attained easily by following a few suggestions.
Chain Reaction (20 Gamerscore)
Explode 10 cars in ten seconds may seem simple, but you have to take into account the following variables.
* You may not have car bombs, rocket launchers, or grenades early in the game, so don't try to attempt this achievement until you have the appropriate tools.
* It's hard to get enough vehicles in the same spot without the cops taking notice. Plus, after stealing your 4th or 5th vehicle, your wanted rating will go up whether the police are around or not.
* Don't dpend on exploding one car to set off another in succession.
* A road block on the bridge or an exit ramp it the best way to bring 10 cars together; turn a bus sideways to block 2 lanes or the bridge and the traffic should build up.
* Once you have the cars grouped, get in a safe place and start tossing explosives- first grenades then your rocket launcher to get the unaffected vehicles.
Rolled Over (30 Gamerscore)
Rolling your car 5 times in a single wreck can prove quite difficult, but with the right car and ramp you'll be able to score this sometimes frustrating achievement.
* Check out the ramp on Frankfort Ave. in Algonquin.
* The key is speed instead of height. Too much height on the jump and you won't have enough momentum to roll 5 times.
* Make sure the ramp you choose doesn't have too much of a drop off.
* Make sure that you have the right vehicle. Cars, such as taxis and police cars won't roll on impact. Choose a vehicle that's top heavy.
* Aim to the left when you hit a ramp because this will destablize the vehicle and help ensure you roll rather than land on all fours. Tilt the left thumbstick forward once you're in the air to point the hood towards the ground, which will propel the vehicle into an agressive roll.
Under the Radar (40 Gamerscore)
Flying under the bridges of Liberty City may sound simple, but it may not turn out so much.
There are 14 bridges for this particular achievement. Any time a bridge comes into contact with any land mass, it's considered an entire bridge on its own.
Make things easier by using your map to ID which bridges you haven't flown under. You can check the City Map on the Start Menu to check which bridges you have left to win the trophy icon.
Make sure to attempt this achievement after you unloack all of the islands because otherwsies, you'll be marked with a 6 star wanted rating due to invading airspace of a locked island.
One Man Army (40 Gamerscore)
You need to survive 5 minutes with a 6 star wanted rating without constant battle with the police.
Once you've unlocked Algonquin Island, you should have access to the heliport in the southeast corner. Jack a helicopter and fly over Alderney, which will automatically grant you a 6 star wanted rating and fly around for 5 minutes. Avoid shots from the ground and from choppers.
Walk Free (50 Gamerscore)
You need to outrun a 4 sar wanted rating; make sure that you have savvy driving skills to achieve this task.
* Drive onto the tarmac at Francis International Airport, where you'll unlock a 4 star rating as soon as you pass the restricted area.
* Once you've got the warning, high tail it out of there in an airport tug, so that you'll be able to drive through any obstacles. A normal car won't get you far.
* Once in the open road, outrun the cops to unlock the achievement. (You can't use Play n' Spray shop to lose the rating.) It'll be easy to ditch the cops if you have the beaten path, speeding through alleyways and parks, and using stunt jumps.
Wheelie Rider (30 Gamerscore)
In order to complete a 500 foot wheelie, you need a light and fast bike, as well as a nice straightaway path. Good bikes are the NRG 900 and the PCJ600; and a suitable straightaway is the Francis International Airport's runway.
To create a stable wheelie, start once you're flying at top speed versus right when you're picking up speed. If you think you're going to tip backwards, release the thumbstick to let the nose dip down and then pull it back again to pull the nose back up.

Plus, just becuase they are simple for you, it doesn't mean that they are simple for everyone to complete.
