"Hostage Situation" Achievement Question
Not sure if too many have gotten this one yet, but if anyone can answer....I've been working on this for the last two hours to no avail. I've kept every civvie down within the store, and even five or six on the street out front, whilst securing EVERY bag of diamonds you can. The achievement refuses to pop and I'm left to wonder if I'm doing something wrong, or if I have to go so far as to getting the OTHER loot bags in the potential safes on the map.

This requires 4 man team. Alone isn't a fair chance.

I have same problem. I have gotten everything with all civs tied. Only thing i have not tried is getting ONLY Baggable loot .. do not get lose items (no rings, bracelets, ATMs, etc) maybe? Can anyone confirm this?

I think I figured it out, having finally gotten the achievement.

The only difference between the successful run and the other failures was civilians on the street NOT being alerted through the windows. I moved the few back that were visible and completed the heist without anyone from the street looking in and getting alerted. Seemed to have worked.

And, yeah, its possible by yourself. I did it that way. It'd be waaaaay easier with a crew though.

I just a perfect run. All civs instore, tied, no deaths. No alerted Civs outside. Did all bags that you can get in the store. I did not do any of the lose items. So.. What is the go here? If you consider lose items baggable loot, then that would be ATM Cash, the Car Shop Safe as well, which you cant cause of civs being alerted.

Only thing I have not tried is only having the set 14 bags of loot. Is that all you need to do this??

I believe there might be a bug / glitch with this achievement as I've tried all loot and bags only loot (all 18 or so) and no achievement. So hopefully overkill will release a patch.

Can you tell me what you did in detail?

Thanks

So I just got the achievement.

- Civs outside the store by the windows got alerted but we tied them and pulled them back into the store before securing all of the bags.

-Also you dont need to secure the bags of money that can spawn in the safes as we completed it by securing all of the bags of jewelry.

-The heist doesn't have to be completed to get the achvievement.

I'm assuming that the nonbaggable items that can be picked up don't count towards the achievement but we did take all of the nonbaggables in the store.

I think that to get the achivement all of the tied civs just have to be in the store when you secure all bags.

Also no civs were killed or untied

Any civilian leaving or dying within the "zone" will disable the achievement. The other external civs do not matter as long as they don't run into the "zone". Achievement is awarded upon securing the final (18th) diamond bag, other loot is not required.

The "zone" is everywhere within the showroom, up till slightly beyond the top of the stairs. The manager will be an issue, as she will walk into the showroom and then disable the achievement by either walking upstairs to her office, or out of the store front.

A full crew can ECM rush to secure the place, while a solo player can restart until they get the manager in the office.

I will be covering the rest of the new achievements as well, you can check them out at my guide (give or take a day or two):

Manager can walk in. But walk out = fail. Outside civi doesn't matter, kill or tie up to you but don't let them walk in and out of the store.
