Crackdown Cheats, Codes & Guides

Take down the Generals with ease after you read our detailed guides:

Los Muertos
The Volk
Shai-Gen

At the apartments where you kill Violetta, climb up to the top, and go to the end of one wing of the building, there should be a small pool and a Rubber Duck next to it.

On the large ferris wheel on the Los Muertos controlled island, a rubber duck can be found in the very top carriage. It requires some nifty jumping and climbing to get up there though. Once on the top carriage, leap on to the star with the agility orb on it. A quick rotation of the camera will reveal this pointless, yet intriguing easter egg.

On the Farthest side of the beach in Los Meurados, there is a larger than average hut. This hut should have neon signs on it. First grab a dune buggy from the agency garage and bring it here. Behind the building should be a steep ledge. Reverse you buggy into the ledge so that you front wheels are on the ground and back wheels are up the ledge. Once vertical, drive your buggy full speed under the hut. You should now be stuck under the building. Once stuck you press Y to get out and you will then find yourself in an impenetrable safe house. Nothing gets in, Nothing gets out.

Equip a rocket launcher or anything that can blow up a car. Go to a car a blow it up. If it doesn't land right side up, make sure you fix it so it is. Make sure there is no debris where the tires of the car used to be (before you blew it up). Shoot on the exploded car with a non-explosive weapon where the tires used to be attached and some should pop up.

When you are in a SUV, go to a vertical wall, best with no ledges and get your SUV almost vertical. Then hold down the B button and go!

You will need the premium download content and you must have beaten Cowell in Shai-gen. Take the buggy car to the building where Cowell is in. Kick down the doors and drive the buggy into the elevator. Ride it up and drive it out. Once you drive the buggy out of the elevator you may get the go 115 feet in the air achievement. Slowly drive the car up the ramps until you get to the balcony. Back the car up to the railing. Aim the car at the balcony and floor it. As soon as the car launches off of the balcony immediatly press and hold forward on the left stick. You should count the car do 3 flips. Once that happens, level the car flat so it makes a perfect landing.
You should get the Flippin' Crazy achievement and the 6 second jump achievement.

When you get to a boss stage take a good look around. At almost every boss area there will be one to three hidden orbs nearby.

So the new content came out and gave us more abilities. One new feature is now you can impound vehicles from 4 groups: Los Muertos, The Volk, Shi Gen, And civilian. One of the hardest rides to get is the baggage cart in the civilian-class vehicle section. First head to the oil rig in the volk gang section. Its easy to get to the rig if you have the storage facility supply point. Head over the third part of the rig. Get to the helipad and you should find two bag cart. Well done, but its not over yet. Now you have to get your new ride off the rig and on the mainland. First, jump from the the 2nd part of the rig. You will lose the cart when you hit the ground. Pick up the cart and jump to the next one. Again you will lose the vehicle on impact. Now here is where patience comes in. Jump onto the pipe and walk gingerly until you get to metal part at the other end of the pipe. Look to your left and jump while throwing your ride. This will damage your vehicle but who cares, ya did it. Now get your ride upright and on the road and drive it back to base. Congratulations, you now got yourself a nice drive-by vehicle.

This is an amazing way you can get your stars up on your driving quickly. All you have to do is run over enemy gang members and you will get loads of driving points

First, lock onto an enemy. Then, you will see his health bar. Shoot at him until his health is REALLY low. Let him heal his health back up. Keep doing this to get a MAJOR amount of orbs.

Take the SUV to the tower in Shai-Gen that has the elevator, where you defeated the army general. You can drive your SUV right through the doors and into the lift. Activate the lift and get in the SUV. Close to the top, you will earn the "Drive High" achievement. Then, take the SUV up to the roof (you will have to throw it up there once you reach the balcony. Now, depending on the Achievement you want, you can either:

A. Throw the SUV off the building and shoot it once with a rocket. That's all you need to do. Trust me, it counts.

or

B. Drive the car under the little dome and position it so that you are aimed at the ledge. Drive off the building (if you are level 4 driving, use the jump to get extra height) and you should be in the air long enough to get the achievement. NOTE: I haven't tried yet, but you might be able to do enough flips to get the timed stunt driver achievement.

Once you have picked something up above your head "hold A" to jump as high as you can like normal then when you are at the peak of your jump "Press Right Trigger" to throw what ever you have lifted and as you see your character start to throw the object "hold A" again and you will throw the object and double jump again thus allowing you to get to high places even easier.

First make sure you have cluster grenades ( you can find them in Shai-Gen) and a explosives skill of at least 3. Then go to the Volk and find an open space, and find one of the Volk gang cars, that are small and green, sometimes red. Blow the car up and make sure it has no wheels, so the main body is on the ground. Then standing about 10 feet away, and being about perfectly center with the BACK of the car, throw two cluster grenades, aiming the redical down at the ground in front of the back of the car, as fast as you can. If the grenades go under the car and the car goes spinning up in the air very far up, you've done it. It took me a few tries to do this, so you will probably mess up.

Travel to the top of Wang's tower (after defeating him of course) and knock over one of the light posts. Grab the small light ball and give it a good chuck off the side (jump for best results). Four star strength is highly recommended.

The easiest way to get your strength up is to always kill by kicking. Just run up to the gang members and kick them. Especially against bosses they give you tons so just run up to them and kick them until they die.

Travel to the Garcia Point supply point in La Mugre, where Los Muertos are. Look to your left upon spawning and you'll see a slope. Go up and you should see a jeep. Get in it and drive to the edge of the cliff upwards. If you have not defeated Los Muertos yet, going up a small bit and between the feet of the statue will also nab the achievement.

In Shai-Gen Corperation there's higher scores for agility (you better have three stares or higher.)

First go to Shai-Gen and jump on any rooftop and kil any gang member that has a rocket-launcher{hothead, Volk should have it too}. Then take your rocket launcher and kill people - gang members not innocent! You should be lvl 3 in at least a hour
