2. INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Godfather II is loosely based on the classic movie of the same name. For
those who've played the first game, you'll find this game pretty familiar.
There are some notable inclusions (Don's View) and exclusions (yeah, no more
hidden items collection side quest!), but the game still plays pretty much the
same. As compared to the first game, however, this game is so much easier to
get the full 1,000G, and the purpose of this guide is to tell you how to get
it.
As usual, I'll do this guide by putting the achievements into categories:
- Don's View
- Crime Rings and Compounds
- Story Events
- Favors
- Banks and Safes
- Execution Styles
- Firearms
- Family Tree
- Killing Mobsters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. DON'S VIEW
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cowardly and/ or lazy way of doing things - send someone to die while you
go for a pee break!
MOBFACE (5)
-----------
Description: Create a Mobster using MobFace
Once you start the game, you'll be asked to create a character using the Mob-
Face tool. Just do whatever you want to your appearance, and click ok to
accept to unlock this.
You can change your appearance at any time later. To do so, press Start to go
into Don's View, and select "Your Family" to access your Family Tree. Click A
on your photo, press LB or RB to move to the "MobFace" tab, and make the
changes.
TORCH THE JOINT (5)
-------------------
Description: Send your men to bomb a venue from the Don's View
See "Pullling the Strings".
PULLING THE STRINGS (5)
-----------------------
Description: Send your men to attack a venue from the Don's View
Press start to go into Don's View, and then select a business that you want to
bomb or attack. Select any crew member and click ok to proceed. You'll get the
achievement immediately. The outcome of the bombing/ attack attempt does not
matter.
Note that if your attack fails, the person you send for the job will usually
be out of action for a period of time.
FORTIFIED VENUE (5)
-------------------
Description: Max out all guards at a venue
After you take over a business, you'll be prompted to press start to allocate
the number of guards at the location. The earlier joints you take over have
low requirements (some max at about 8 guards). Simply allocate the maximum
number available to unlock the achievement. You can quit out and reload last
save if you want.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. CRIME RINGS AND COMPOUNDS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You love killing people and taking over their hard-earned money!
FIRST CRIME RING (15)
---------------------
Description: Control your first Crime Ring
To take over a joint, kill all the guards there, and look for this person with
a "Godfather" icon above them, i.e., the owner. Press LT+RT to grab this
person to raise his/ her pressure level (see top right corner of screen). Once
it reaches the "success" point, release him/ her, and press Y to take over the
business. You can continue to grab him/ her to increase the amount of money
you receive, but make sure you don't go over the "boiling point", since the
owner will go berserk and you'll not be able to take the joint.
You can also make use of weak spots to make the taking over easier. For
example, some owners are scared of jabs and punches, some are scared of
property damage. If you manage to find these weaknesses prior to grabbing
them, it'll make it easier for you to raise the bar to the "success" point.
Finding these weak spots also give you a +25% bonus for the amount you manage
to squeeze out of the owner.
Now, crime rings. When you check the map in Don's View, you'll notice that most
rackets that you can take over have an additional information about the crime
ring it belongs to. Taking over all rackets in the same crime ring will net you
a bonus, like bulletproof vests, larger ammo clips and such.
The first crime ring you'll take over would be Prostitution. The two rackets
in this ring are Sweet Life Bakery and La Maison Rouge. Simply go to these
places with your Soldier(s), and do the thing mentioned above. The bonus for
controlling this crime ring is Brass Knuckles (your punches are stronger).
THREE CRIME RINGS (40)
----------------------
Description: Control three Crime Rings
As you continue to take over businesses, you'll eventually own three crime
rings. You won't be able to proceed the story unless you take over crime rings
anyway. Together with the Prostitution one that you've gathered earlier, just
do any two more to get this achievement quickly.
See "Organized Crime" for a list of crime rings.
FIVE CRIME RINGS (50)
----------------------
Description: Control three Crime Rings
See "Three Crime Rings".
ORGANIZED CRIME (75)
--------------------
Description: Control all Crime Rings
The last Crime Rings can be found in Cuba. Some of the joints here have 28
guards, so just bring enough crew members and make these enemies eat lead.
This would just come normally as you can't complete the game without taking
over everything.

IT'S NOT PERSONAL (20)
----------------------
Description: Eliminate a rival family by successfully bombing their compound
To eliminate a rival family, you must bomb their compound. This means that you
should bring a demolitions guy along. In order to attack a compound, you must
first take over all the businesses of said family.
Your first rival family is the Carmine Rosato's. Simply go to his compound and
kill everyone in sight. Find the "firecracker" icon in the building (locations
varies for different compounds). I'd suggest that before you ask you guy to
place a bomb, familiarize yourself with the escape route - if you actually
stay in the compound when the bomb goes on, you die!
Once the bomb is planted, you should see a timer on screen. Quickly run out of
the building and wait for the bomb to go off. It's ok to stay near the
building. As long as you're not in it, you should be alright.
DOUBLE CROSSED (20)
-------------------
Description: Eliminate two rival families
The second family you take out should be the Granados. As usual, take over all
their business, bomb their compound.
VENDETTA (30)
-------------
Description: Eliminate three rival families
Should be Tony Rosato and friends, or you can destroy the Manganos first. It's
up to you, really. Do the usual.
AMBUSHED (40)
-------------
Description: Eliminate four rival families
Should be the Manganos, or Tony Rosato's friends, depending on who you iced
earlier.
LAST FAMILY STANDING (50)
-------------------------
Description: Eliminate all rival families
The Almeidas are the last to go. All the rival families achievements will
unlock upon the bombing of their compounds. They've the toughest enemies in
the game (apart from the police).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. STORY EVENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Things happen in a story, and you get points when they do!
THE COUNSELLLOR (25)
--------------------
Description: Accept Tom Hagen as your Consigliere
This happens when you return to New York, after Michael has landed in some hot
soup. After Hagen becomes your Consigliere, he'll appear in your Family Tree,
to the right of you.
PAYING TRIBUTE (10)
------------------
Description: Unlock all Safehouses
This one unlocks once you talk to Henry Mitchell, upon your first visit to
Cuba. Unlike the first game, there's no need to fight through waves of enemies
to take over a safehouse.
CIA? DOA (25)
-------------
Description: Eliminate Henry Mitchell
This mission comes close towards the end of the game. You simply have to go to
the green X on the map and kill Mitchell. He has some firepower around him,
but I manage to solo this mission without much problems. He's on the second
level of the location. Just go up the stairs, kill the enemies across the
balcony, and then continue up until the roof. Kill the remaining enemies, and
Mitchell will appear soon after. Finish him off for an easy achievement.
IT'S ONLY BUSINESS (75)
-----------------------
Description: Eliminate Hyman Roth
This is the final mission of the game. After destroying all the five families,
return to Florida. Roth is at the airport. Your job is simple - kill him!
First drive to the airport. Then, go to the green "X" spot and bribe the guard
there. Go into the room near him and take the stairs up.
Once up there, plenty of goons will start firing at you from all angles. Stay
crouch and in cover as much as you can. It's advisable to bring two medics for
this mission just in case one of them dies before you could revive him.
After killing off the first wave of attacks, go towards the green "X" spot.
More enemies will spill out from nowhere, so repeat the killing process until
everything that moves is shot down.
Now, you can run up to Roth and plant a bullet (or ten) into him. I didn't
even bother talking to him.
Upon Roth's "departure", you'll need to escape the police. As you may've found
out by now, the police are quite a force to be dealt with in this game,
especially those super drivers that will hunt you down in trucks and bump your
car all over the place. Solution? Go into Don's View, and mark your safehouse
as destination. It's pretty nearby, and you should reach it easily as compared
to your end mission location, the Manganos Compound.
Drive (safely) to the safehouse, and hide inside to remove all level of police
attention. Stay in the house for a little while more, until the coast is
almost clear. You can now leave the safehouse and drive to the compound without
any police chasing you.
Once you reach the compound, the achievement will unlock.
"Congratulations! You've completed Godfather II, and Fredo is dead!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. FAVORS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do people a favor, get achievement points!
CONTRACT KILLER (15)
--------------------
Description: Eliminate 5 made men with the appropriate kill condition
Before you actually bomb Carmine's compound, you may have noticed random NPCs
in the streets with "key" icons above them. These NPCs give out information on
how to kill the made men from your rivals, in exchange for favors. The favors
are usually one of the following:
- Burglary : you must bring a safecracker to crack a safe in a building
- Bomb : you must bring a demolitions expert to bomb a building
- Beatdown : you must melee attack the target but don't kill him/ her
- Murder : you must kill the target by any means
- Sabotage : you must use a melee weapon to smash objects in a shop
The favors are random. Note that you may be required to bomb or steal from
your own businesses when doing these favors. Also, in the event that you've
already cracked a safe in a Burglary location, the safe will be locked again
for you to complete the favor.
Upon completing these missions, you'll be given the kill condition of your
rival's made men. The conditions are listed as follow, with many thanks to the
guys at x360a.org:
Carmine Rosato
--------------
Capo : Norman Rossi - Execute him with a pistol.
Soldier : Jimmy Guidalatto - Throw him into the East River.
Soldier : Franklin Credi - Strangle the life out of him.
Soldier : Clyde Lando - Run him over with a car.
Tony Rosato
-----------
Capo : Leroy Castellani - Tenderize him with a melee weapon execution.
Capo : Gary Lamberteschi - Brutalize him with a punch execution.
Capo : Philip Giotti - Toss him off a high ledge.
Soldier : Bill Ciompi - Choke him with the garrote wire.
Soldier : Richard Chiechi - Tenderize him with a melee weapon execution.
Soldier : Jimmy Vecchio - Put a bullet between his eyes with a headshot.
Soldier : Jerry Gallo - Hurl a glass bottle at him for the final blow.
Soldier : Clarence Pucci - Strangle the life out of him.
Granados
--------
Underboss : Stanley Jimenez - Strangle the life out of him.
Capo : Theodore Ruiz - Go clubbing - kill him with a melee weapon.
Capo : Johnny Salazar - Serve him a Molotov Cocktail.
Capo : Anthony Espinoza - Get a clean shot with the sniper rifle.
Soldier : Paul Morales - Let a Bruiser shank him from behind.
Soldier : Thomas Ramos - Toast him with any kind of explosive.
Soldier : Harry Reyes - Put a bullet between his eyes.
Soldier : Bruce Rivera - Bloody him up using only your fists.
Mangano
-------
Consigliere: Paulo Riccitello - Blow up the Mangano Compund.
Underboss : Provenzano Porco - Teach him to fly - toss him off a high ledge.
Underboss : Giorgio Strozzi - Break his bones with any melee weapon execution.
Capo : Doffo Spini - Slam him into a wall until he croaks.
Capo : Baldo Campi - Revoke his license by killing him with a car.
Soldier : Luchino Uliari - Make it look like a "traffic accident."
Soldier : Giovanni Corbinelli - Get a clean shot with the sniper rifle.
Soldier : Jacopo Vanni - Drop him with a Magnum execution.
Soldier : Guccio Ferrara - Slam him against a wall until he dies.
Almeida
-------
Consigliere: Angel de la Paz - Blow up the Almeida Compound.
Underboss : Payo Saavedra - Make some holes with a shotgun execution.
Underboss : Ramon Valiente - Shoot him in the knees, then show him no mercy.
Capo : Juan Mazon - Execute him up-close and personal with a rifle.
Capo : Raul Limonta - Crack his skull with any melee weapon execution.
Capo : Jaime Fesser - Bash his brains onto a casket.
Soldier : Pablo Benitez de Lugo - Make him eat lead with any automatic
weapon execution.
Soldier : Baltasar Barreto - Serve him a Molotov Cocktail.
If you accidentally kill these mobsters with other methods, they'll recover
after a while for you to try again. They'll die permanently only if you do the
correct kill condition. When they die this way, they'll not appear in their
respective compound when you attempt to bomb it, making it supposedly easier
to complete the task.
Now, to get this achievement, you'd only need to do any of the above five
kills. There's no need to do every one of them, since it wastes too much time.
This game is no way as difficult as the first, so even if they do appear in
the compound when you attack, they wouldn't give you much problems. They'll
also die permanently after you bomb their compound, anyway.
As such, I'll recommend that you do the first four (Carmine Rosato's) plus any
one from Tony Rosato or the Granados to get this achievement.
ACCEPT THIS AS A GIFT (30)
--------------------------
Description: Earn one of each favor
The description is not clear for this one, but if you go to Don's View and
cycle to "Collectible", you should be able to find a table for "Corrupt
Officials". These officials are found on fixed locations on the map. You'd
need to do one unique favor for them, in return for some specified favors that
you can call upon whenever you need them (for example, call off police).
You must complete all 12 of such favors to unlock the achievement.
The list of officials that you must help are as follow:
NEW YORK
--------
Official : Leon Brinker
Favor : Rapid Recovery
Location : In-between the two SaniCo joints, close to the Airport
Official : Victor Grosser
Favor : Rebuild Bombed Businesses

mission.

Official : Juan-Pablo del Monte
Favor : Free Made Men from Jail
Location : At the circular area, near the Bank (Banco de Cuba)

This achievement is reported to be glitched for some people. There are no
known causes or solutions to this glitch at this moment. All I can suggest is
that you play the game when you're online, because I remember there being a
patch the moment I loaded this game on release date. Playing the game online
ensures that you don't miss out on anything that EA patches.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. BANKS AND SAFES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You do not own a business until you crack its safe!
LOCKPICKER (5)
--------------
Description: Crack five Safes
Every business you take over has a safe, or two. As such, you should always
bring a safecracker along when you attack a joint. Earlier in the game, you
won't be able to bring one, so as and when you employ one, go back to those
joints you took over earlier and ransacked the safes. You should easily get
five safes for this achievement before you leave New York for Florida.
For the list of all safes, refer to "Safecracker".
SAFECRACKER (75)
----------------
Description: Crack all Safes
Most safes are easily found when you take over a joint. They're mostly found
in the room where the owner is. I'll list all the locations that have safes
below, with pointers on the harder-to-find ones.
The sequence of this list is from your Don's View -> Safes option, from top
to bottom, left to right:
NEW YORK
--------
La Maison Rouge
Carmine Rosato Compound
The Empire Room
SaniCo Dump and Disposal
Liberty Banking*

Global Imports
Almeida Compound
Battaglia Quarry
Battaglia Masonry
Battaglia Cement Factory
Banco de Cuba*
* All are banks. Apart from breaking into the vault, you must crack the safes
within the vault.
** You only enter the New York Federal Building twice, during missions. One of
them is when you're required to still some items from the safe there, another
is during Michael Corleone's trial. Note that there are TWO safes in this
building. As you enter, go to the left side of the building to find one, and
the return to the middle, and go right to find the other.
*** Access to the safe at Florida Airport will be granted after a certain
point of the story. Enter the airport from the right, and you should see a
small alley with two guards with the "$" icon above them. Bribe them to go
into the room that they're guarding. The safe is inside.
BANK JOB (5)
------------
Description: Heist your first bank
The first bank you can heist is the Liberty Banking, located in New York. The
easiest way to heist a bank is to do the following:
- bring an Engineer, a Demolitions man and a Safecracker
- get the Engineer to cut power
- go to the back of the bank to find the "bomb" icon, and get the Demolitions
man to bomb it
- enter the vault from the bombed wall, and sweep everything off the shelves
- get the Safecracker to crack the safe in the vault
- pick up the final loot and escape through the bombed wall
- return to yur safehouse
You must return to the safehouse to make the heist count.
It's advisable that you attempt this when you've unlock the Bulletproof Vest
bonus (from controlling the Diamond Smuggling crime ring) before you do this.
It makes it so much easier since you pretty much can't die with that thing on,
as long as you run as fast as you can.
BAG MAN (20)
------------
Description: Heist all banks
There are only four banks in this game:
NEW YORK
--------
Liberty Banking
Florida
-------
Merit Credit Union
Security 1st Savings and Loan
Cuba
----
Banco de Cuba
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. EXECUTION STYLES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Killing someone is not enough, you must do it in style. Fire a round into
someone's mouth, punch an iron rod through the eyes of another. You get points
for doing all these!
ENFORCER (15)
-------------
Description: Complete 10 execution styles
When you shoot or melee an enemy a few times, he'll be in "dizzy" state. If
you walk up now and press RS with your weapons (guns or melee) or bare hands,
you'll do an "execution" move.
There are a total of 36 execution styles, two for all weapons, a few more for
Blackhand attacks, and some environmental. For list of all executions, see
"Executions in Style".
EXECUTIONS IN STYLE (75)
------------------------
Description: Complete all execution styles
List of all execution styles below. For "standing", it means that the mobster
must be standing when you do a RS execution. For "kneeling", the mobster must
be kneeling down when you execute. Do make a mobster kneel down, shoot him in
the kneels.
Note that even though Don's View -> Exeuction Styles show your kill record for
mobsters, police and innocents, only kills on mobsters will add to this
achievement.
ENVIRONMENT
-----------
High Fall Kills : Throw victim off a high ledge
Low Fall Kills : Throw victim through a ground-floor window
Table Slam : Slam victim onto a table or counter
Wall Slam : Slam victim into a wall
Road Rage : Run over victim with a car
WEAPON
------

Kneecap : Shot in the knees
Disarms : Shoot in the shoulder, and make victim drop his gun
Pistol Standing : Do a RS execution with a pistol
Pistol Kneeling : Do a RS execution with a pistol
Shotgun Standing : Do a RS execution with a shotgun

Magnum Standing : Do a RS execution with a magnum
Magnum Kneeling : Do a RS execution with a magnum
Machine Gun Standing : Do a RS execution with a machine gun
Machine Gun Kneeling : Do a RS execution with a machine gun
Rifle Standing : Do a RS execution with a rifle

NOTE: For rifles, scoping is not required.
EXPLOSIVES
----------
Explosion Kills : Death by a dynamite or bomb
HAND-TO-HAND
------------
Garrote : Choke victim with the garrote wire
Strangle : Choke victim by strangling him
Punch : Kill victim with any non-execute punch attack
Grabbed : Kill victirm with any non-execute grab attack
Neck Snap Kills : Kill someone using the neck snap skill
Bare-handed Standing : Do a RS execution with bare fists
Bare-handed Kneeling : Do a RS execution with bare fists
NOTE: For Neck Snap, you must upgrade your character to learn the Neck Snap
Skill. You perform this skill using the Garrote.
MELLE/ OBJECTS
--------------
Nightstick Standing : Do a RS execution with a nightstick
Nightstick Kneeling : Do a RS execution with a nightstick
Bottle Kills : Throw a bottle to make the killing blow
Melee Weapon : kill someone normally with any melee weapon
Bat Standing : Do a RS execution with a bat
Bat Kneeling : Do a RS execution with a shotgun
Tire Iron Standing : Do a RS execution with a tire iron
Tire Iron Kneeling : Do a RS execution with a tire iron
Pool Cue Standing : Do a RS execution with a pool cue
Pool Cue Kneeling : Do a RS execution with a pool cue
Bats, tire irons and pool cues can be found at Berry's Pawnbrokers in Florida.
Nightsticks can be found by killing a policeman with melee weapons (he'll
drop it upon death). Bottles are found in most diners (e.g., Juan Sizzlio's).
You should get many of these just by playing the game normally. Ideally, you
should try to do this before you bomb the last family, so that you get more
mobsters to kill. If you happen to have already killed off all five families
and completed the story missions, you can still get this achievement by going
to the Casino Imperial in Cuba. There's a roadblock there with three dudes in
green military uniform. These are "Cuban Rebels" that happen to fall under the
"mobster" category. After killing them off with the desired execution style,
simply drive off for a distance and return. They'd have respawn for you to
rinse and repeat. This is not foolproof though, since it'd be very difficult
to pull off high fall kills here, for example.
It's advisable that when farming these executions, try not to bring your crew
members. This is because they tend to be trigger-happy, and may kill off the
mobster whom you're trying to do the execution on. If you definitely must
bring them, use the "B" button to order them to rest at some place further
away from the action. This should make things easier for you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. FIREARMS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You love guns, and you want to find them all for some easy achievement points!
GUN SMUGGLER (10)
-----------------
Description: Find a Level 2 firearm upgrade
Each gun has three levels. Simply find a Level 2 firearm and this should
unlock. You can get this early in the game by bringing an Arsonist to the
Corleone Compound. As you enter the gate, turn left to find a "fire" icon near
some bushes. Set a fire there to find the Sawed-Off Shotgun (Lv.2 Shotgun).
MODIFIED FIREPOWER (20)
-----------------------
Description: Find a Level 3 firearm upgrade
The first one you come across should be at the Global Storage Chop Shop, after
you do a favor for Charlie Green to lower the drawbridge leading to this
joint.

10. FAMILY TREE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These achievements involve your crew members. Recruit, upgrade and promote -
be the boss!
GETTING MADE (5)
----------------
Description: Recruit your first Soldier
After the events in Cuba, you return to New York to take over your family.
For your first mission here, you'll be asked to recruit a Soldier. There are
two guys with a "$" sign above them. Talk to either of them to find out their
specialty, and recruit whichever one you require.
Note that different members have different skills. The skills are as below:
- Medic : heals you when you're dead
- Arson : sets fire at specified points with "fire" icon
- Safecracker : unlocks safes/ doors at specified points with "safe" icon
- Bruiser : kicks down locked doors at specified points with "punch"
icon
- Engineer : cut fences/ power supplies at specified points with "cut"
icon
- Demolitions : bomb specified points with "firecracker" icon
The first two guys you meet should be either a Medic or an Arson. I took the
Medic simply due to his healing ability.
LET ME UPGRADE YOU (5)
----------------------
Description: Upgrade one of your made men's skills or weapons
After recruiting a Soldier, go to Don's View -> Your Family, and click on his
profile. Now, upgrade any one of his attributes to unlock this achievement.
RIGHT HAND MAN (10)
-------------------
Description: Promote one of your made men to Capo
As you progress through the story, your contacts will eventually remind you to
promote one of your Soldiers to the position of Capo. When prompted, go to
Don's View -> Your Family, and click on the person you want to upgrade. Press
RT to promote him.
SECOND IN COMMAND (15)
----------------------
Description: Promote one of your made men to Underboss
As you progress through the story, your contacts will eventually remind you to
promote one of your Capos to the position of Underboss. When prompted, do the
same as in "Right Hand Man" to unlock this.
THIS THING OF OURS (25)
-----------------------
Description: Recruit a full family tree
Your full family tree consists of the following positions:
- one Don (you)
- one Consigliere (Tom Hagen, story-related)
- one Underboss
- two Capos
- four Soldiers
You can fill up these positions once you promote someone to Underboss.
Soldiers can be easily recruited from any joints and compounds that you own.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. KILLING MOBSTERS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just rack up the kill counts for points served on a dish!
25 MASSACRED (10)
-----------------
Description: Kill 25 Mobsters
See "750 Sleeping with the Fishes".
100 WHACKED (15)
----------------
Description: Kill 100 Mobsters
See "750 Sleeping with the Fishes".
250 ICED (20)
-------------
Description: Kill 250 Mobsters
See "750 Sleeping with the Fishes".
500 EMPTY SUITS (25)
--------------------
Description: Kill 500 Mobsters
See "750 Sleeping with the Fishes".
750 SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES (30)
---------------------------------
Description: Kill 750 Mobsters
Simply kill the required number of mobsters (police and innocents don't count)
to get these achievements. They can be killed by any means. You can check your
progress by going into the Don's View. Click "Your Family", and then click on
your photo. Use LB/RB to cycle to "Rap Sheet", and you'll find the number of
mobsters you've killed. I got 750 soon after I bombed my 4th compound.
As with the execution styles, try doing this before you bomb the 5th
compound (Almeida's), for the same reason that if you don't get the kills
before that, there'll be next to no mobsters to kill except the three
respawning Cuban Rebels at the Casino Imperial.
If you're close to killingAlmeida and friends, and still haven't get this,
and you don't want to keep killing three Cuban Rebels, I'd suggest doing the
following:
- leave at least one Almeida business uncontrollled
- attack the business alone
- kill as many mobsters there as possible, but don't take over the joint
- escape
- rinse and repeat until you get 750 kills
Check your kill counts from time to time to ensure that you're on track.
Usually, by the time you reach Cuba for the first time, you should have about
600+ kills, if you've been shooting for fun.
FULL OF LEAD (10)
-----------------
Description: Kill 150 mobsters only using firearms
You should get this normally as you do the 750 kills. The majority of your
kills should be by using any of the five types of guns:
- Pistols
- Shotguns
- Machine Guns
- Rifles
- Magnums
BLACKHAND BRUTALITY (10)
------------------------
Description: Kill 25 mobsters using only Blackhand attacks
Blackhand attacks simply means killing enemies without any weapons. Just use
your fist and punch mobsters to death. This can be done by using Blackhand
executions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONCLUSION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I consider the guide complete at this point in time. I hope it's a good help
for people who're stuck, and a good read for those who just wanted to read
something. Feedback/ better ways to do achievements are welcomed at the usual
email address.

appealing as a thick book with colorful pages. Nevertheless, if you like this
