one kilo brick miami

[sirtoby13]

hi, i am trying to get the one kilo brick achievement in miami, i know its location but i just can't acquire it. can someone help me?

i know that this delgado guy who's talking to the sheik has it, but whenever i knock him out, poison him, shoot him whatever, he drops the brick and it falls apart before i can grab it. is this a bug? did they change the cocaine bricks to be destructible? or am i just doing something wrong? i am giving up on that achievement for now

The only time I've seen it break is when I knocked him out on a set of stairs, not sure what's happening to you since I had him drop it several times today. Just choking him out on flat ground should be enough to be able to grab it.

First of all thanks for the help mr_faorry, i tried choking him again when he was finished talking and walked to the balcony, but it would still break.

I managed to do it now, just shot him in the leg so he fell to the ground, then a clean headshot and the brick was alive and well (mr. delgado not so much :D)

Thank you!
Was having the same problem, and other than shooting him in the leg and then the head, the brick always broke. Guessing it was a bug introduced sometime recently.

I'm in the same boat. 10 tries failed until I shot his leg and head.

Hi guys, shooting him in the leg and then the head still broke it.

BUT! Shooting him in the leg, and then knocking him out (Q - Kick) got it for me!

Shooting in the leg and knocking it out worked
Thank you

Dunno if this is still searched. But the correct way is to subdue (Q) the target wth your gun.

Obviously this thread is for those people who tried that first and it did not work.

There's actually more than a single "correct" way, and it's only fair to mention that ANY of the "correct" ways may result in the brick falling apart...because every detailed method has, in the past, resulted in a crumbled cookie when I have tried it. Playing this damned game for over a thousand hours, all of the "correct" ways has also resulted in recovering an intact brick.

Q does not "subdue" the target with the gun. If you Q from behind while holding a gun you eliminate them (kill shot with a double tap to the back) It does usually result in an intact brick, because 47 very slowly lowers the body to the ground, but it's a kill not a subdue.

If you Q from the front it's a punch, and the fall destroys the brick.

It basically comes down to the distance of the fall of the brick when dropped. If you shoot the target in the leg, then punch it will still break if the target was elevated by any objects in the world, if he is partially on the couch/table/stairs, etc. it still breaks the same as if it falls from him in a standing position. For the leg shot + punch to work he needs to be down near the ground, not bouncing off an object when you do the knock out.

You can also just shoot him in the head if he's still seated, the brick will land intact on the couch, but it will break if you waited too long and shot him while he was standing or moving.

But basically whatever method of kill/knockout you use if the brick falls more than a tiny height after it spawns, it will break.

Should have used the term "intended" way, by the devs. Or the "easiest" way. No shooting the knees shenanigans.

I doubt there's an intended specific way, but shooting him in the head while he sits on the couch has the brick land on the couch

Any other method is just a question of how long the fall is from where the brick spawns as explained above
