Those achievements will come naturally as you play the game, with close to no need for farming. Just make sure you fill your backpack with stuff every time you rob a house or do a job.

Most of your valuable steals will come from Richie R. St., small but valuable items are best, since you can carry a lot of them.

Those are the items you'll want to keep an eye out for:

• Anything that can be found inside safes
  
• Jewelry
  
• Watches
  
• Golden items (Goblet, Trophy, etc.)
  
• Locked phones and tablets
  
• Items with the "Antique" prefix (Richie R. and Industrial Sts.)
  
• Any painting found in Industrial St.
  
• Statues and Sculptures
  
• Clocks found in Richie R. St.
  
• Vehicles

Note 1: money gained from jobs regarding breaking something does not count towards those achievements.

Note 2: you can often sell items for higher prices on BlackBay, at your computer.


Sneaky Sneak
Finish 10 S rank thefts without being seen

To achieve an S rank on a theft, you need to steal at least some items without being detected by anyone, this includes tenants, street bypassers, security guards and potentially police officers, as well as security cameras and alarms. The more money you steal in items, the higher your chances of getting an S rank are. Note that stealing items you've never stole before might increase the likelyhood of a perfect rank as well.

Note: rank is calculated after exiting the map's borders, either by vehicle or on foot.


Hackerman
Disable 10 control panels

Control panels are those locks where you need to connect two ends of the panel in order to unlock a door or gate. Only unlockable after acquiring the Hacking PDA. Control Panels are found on almost every residence in Richie R.

Breaking Items Achievements

Fresh Air
Break 10 windows


Plumbing Expert
Break 10 toilets


Who Needs Dishes?
Break 10 dishes

Those three achievements require you to destroy 10 windows, toilets and dishes respectively with your crowbar. Those items can be found in every household in the game, just beware that the noise of you breaking those items will alert nearby people.

Note: the easiest place to farm for those achievements is the very first place you rob, during the tutorial, as the place is always unguarded and has 1 set of dishes, 1 toilet and several windows.


Nice Throw Man
Break a window with a brick

Throw a brick at any window to destroy it.

Thx u

[Huge Weasel]

Thank you legend, the wiki could only get me so far

[BuiltCracked]

This really helped! Thanks,

[Hugh Manatee]

Getting the skid loader was a pain in the a55. For one, it handles like shit and it really struggles to drive up the nearby ramp. Best bet is to have a camera jammer & use it on the cam. Then wait for the area to clear to give you time. I kept getting stuck on the ramp & was going so slow. I found it better not to steer straight up the ramp. Instead, I had more traction when I tightly jerked the steering quickly to the left & right. Make sure you don't over steer too much, the ramp is narrow. You kinda wiggle your way up. When I went over the edge, it landed nose down, making it impossible to drive. My van quickly sorted that by ramming it from the side, eventually moving it enough to right itself. Then, it's a very short drive to the border & you got the achievement & the skid loader in the garden of your hideout, but it's just decor.

[A4Kwasthere]

@Brigg Thanks, that worked and with the NG+ I will get the other achievements.

[ULTRAKNIGHT®]

@Brigg i got the achievements but i think it is bugged or glitch or something, so for everyone who is trying to obtain Halloween or Christmas Achievements or any other, you have to sell the items which is required to unlock and after selling still didn't unlocked, you need to force save game.
For Ex. you want "Halloween Is Here" achievement, after selling the pumpkins on blackbay if u still didn't get the achievement, just go to a random street like Greenview St. and you will get it

[Brigglyo]

@A4Kwasthere To play the game on NG+ you have to start a new save file, then select NG+ when you're prompted to do so, hopefully you can manage to unlock those achievements that way. One more thing, sometimes those achievements that require selling items unlock when you go into Greenview St. after having sold them, it is possible that the game checks for the presence of those items in the overworld instead of checking wether they've been sold or not. I recommend you go back to those areas at least one time each, in case you haven't done that.

[A4Kwasthere]

@Brigg thanks for the response, I did check but it still didn't work... I think I will do it again in the NG+ I just don't know how to activate the NG+ can you tell me how?

[Brigglyo]

@ULTRA^-^KNIGHT Are you having trouble unlocking all Halloween achievements or some specific ones? Some people have reported that setting the date exactly to October 31st does the trick, even though it is stated that those achievements should be unlockable during the time frame described in the guide.

@A4Kwasthere There really isn't an order, I'd suggest going back to the many locations and making sure you picked up every present, specially the larger ones that require the car's trunk to move around.

[A4Kwasthere]

I don't know why but after collecting all the gifts and selling them I didn't get the achievement "Reverse Santa" is there an order or a bug or does it have to be on a specific day? if there's an order because I missed 1 red gift I'm selling the 6 red gifts on blackbay as my last gifts.
