I've seen many achievement guides aiming for only one specific achievement. I decided to make a 100% Achievement Guide. I've categorized and organized all the achievements. I'll give hints and tips for challenging achievements.

If there is a "(+)" symbol next to the description of achievement, it means you can't miss the achievement while you're playing throughout the storyline. Don't worry about that achievement and look for others.

Complete "When Good Heists..." (+)
You get it by completing the quest "When Good Heists Go Bad"

Complete "I'm Free - Free Falling" (+)
You get it by completing the quest "I'm Free - Free Falling"

Complete "Party Time" (+)
You get it by completing the quest "Party Time"

Complete "We've Only Just Begun" (+)
You get it by completing the quest "We've Only Just Begun"

Complete Act 1 in one way.
Defuse the bomb to get this achievement and %10 Cash Bonus. (See "Kuh, Boom." for further information.)

Complete Act 1 in another way.
Blow up the building to get this achievement and %10 Reputation Bonus.

At the end of "The Belgian Problem" you'll have to make a decision. You can leave the planted bomb and blow up the whole building or defuse the bomb and gain control of the building. You should save your game before making the decision so that you can get the both achievements.

Complete "The Ho Boat" (+)
You get it by completing the quest "The Ho Boat"

Complete "STAG Party" (+)
You get it by completing the quest "STAG Party"

Complete "http://deckers.die". (+)
You get it by completing the quest "http://deckers.die"

Complete act 2. (+)
You get it by completing the quest "My Name is Cyrus Temple."

Unlike the Act 1 (See Kuh, Boom) and Act 3 (See X) endings, this one doesn't have a situational achievement. You can't miss it.

Complete "Zombie Attack" (+)
You get it by completing the quest "Zombie Attack"

Complete "Murderbrawl XXXI" (+)
You get it by completing the quest "Murderbrawl XXXI"

Complete Act 3 in one way. (+)
Kill the Killbane and complete the quest "STAG Film" (See Gangstas... In Space! for further information)

Complete Act 3 in another way. (+)
Save Shaundi and complete the quest "Gangstas in Space"

At the end of "Three Way" you'll have to make another decision. You can choose to follow and eliminate Killbane or save the Shaundi from death. You don't need to save your game like you did in Act 1 ending because the game will force you to play this twice, completing the both ways, so you don't have to worry about these.

Find 25% of all Collectibles.
Find 20 out of 80 collectibles to get this achievement. (See Life of the Party for further information.)

Find 100% of all Collectibles.
There are a total of 80 Collectibles in the game. There are Drug Packages, Money Pallets, Sex Dolls, and Photo Ops to collect. You have to find 20 of each.

At level 20, you can get Collectible Finder for 49,500 Cash. You should get this as soon as you can. It marks the collectibles in your GPS/Map. It'll take forever to get this achievement without the Collectible Finder.

Complete your first Challenge.
You can view your Challenges in Cellphone -> Saintsbook -> Challenges. (See You're My Hero! for further information.

Complete ALL Challenges.
There are a total of 41 Challenges. Challenges are pretty easy, and you'll get most of them naturally. This achievement takes a while, therefore this is the most rare achievement of Saints Row: The Third.

Do your first nutshot AND testicle assault.
You must do a "Nut shot" and "Testicular Manslaughter" to get this achievement. It's shown in this short video.

If you think you've already done this and still didn't get the achievement, welcome to the group. I guess it gets bugged. Just do a couple more, you'll get it eventually.


Play for at least 2 hours as a male character AND 2 hours as a female character.
You don't need to create a brand new character for this achievement. You can go to Image As Designed (Plastic Surgeon Stores) and change your sex to opposite. You can change it back after 2 hours. I got it by playing a male character in my singleplayer campaign and a female character in Co-op.

Hijack 50 vehicles - Dukes style.
You run towards a vehicle and click E to get in the car with Dukes style. You'll probably get this naturally.

Taunt AND/OR Compliment 50 gang members.
You can taunt with Z button and compliment with X button. I suggest you taunting the enemy gang members instead of complimenting them. This way you can get the Challenge named "Taunt Gang Members" which wants you to taunt 50 enemy gang members.

Explore every hood in Steelport.
If you're aiming for every achievement, you'll get this naturally.

Kill 50 brutes.
You can attract brutes with high gang notoriety. There are a few types of brutes, unique for each gang. Killing 50 of them might take a while.

If you have Genkibowl VII DLC, you can just keep playing the "Apocalypse Genki" instance and kill the brutes there to get this achievement.

Destroy all Gang Operations in Steelport.
You have to clear a total of 32 Gang Operations in game. There is a picture of Gang Operation locations I took from the Saints Row Wikia.[saintsrow.wikia.com]




Kill all of the hitman Assassination targets.
To view Assasination targets and your progression, go to Cellphone -> Saints Book -> Assasinations. Assasinations ask you to kill a specific target with a specific method. Usually the description will be enough, but if you're stuck, you can view this guide and search for your assasination target.

Steal and deliver all Vehicle Theft targets.
To view Vehicle Thefts and your progression, go to Cellphone -> Saints Book -> Vehicle Thefts, just like Assasinations. In Vehicle Thefts, you'll be asked to get a specific car in a specific area into a drop-off place. It's not difficult but it's taking time just like Assasinations.

Buy your first Upgrade from the Upgrade Store.
You can get to upgrade screen by Cellphone -> Upgrades.

Kill 1000 Gang Members.
Don't let the number scare you, it's pretty easy to get this achievement. You'll probably get this while playing the game, no need to worry about it.

Fully upgrade one Weapon in each slot.
You have to upgrade at least one weapon in each weapon slot to level 4, with baseball being an exception with level 2. If you upgraded everything and still didn't get the achievement, you might have forgot about the grenades. I recommend upgrading Flashbang to level 4. (See Stay Classy Steelport for further information.)

Upgrade one Stronghold to its full glory.
There is a unique stronghold for each gang. They are 3 Count, Safeword and Reactor. Stronghold customizations aren't cheap, but you can get one to its full glory easily.

Spend over 30 hours in Steelport.
If you're aiming for all the achievements, you'll get this anyway. If you didn't get this achievement even though you have 30+ hours on Steam, time past on Menu Screen etc. don't count towards this achievement. You have to be in game.

Create and share a character online.
Go to any clothing store and then choose "Character Gallery" if you already have a THQ account, enter your login information. If not, register and log in. After you logged in, there will be an "Upload" section. Click that and you'll get the achievement right away.

If you have problems registering or logging in, try Verifying Integrity of Game Cache.

Kill 25 Gang Members each with 'the Penetrator' AND the Fart in a Jar.
"The Penetrator" is the huge purple dildo, you can buy it from any Friendly Fire or get it as a mission reward. And when you upgrade your Flashband to Level 4, it'll transform to a "Fart in a Jar" which makes the target vomit. However, you don't need to "kill" 25 Gang Members with Fart in a Jar, you can just make them vomit.

Customize 10 vehicles.
The vehicles must be unique, meaning all different from another one. If you love the car customization of this game as much as I do, you'll get this achievement naturally.

Play SR3 Co-op for 5 hours.
You have to play Co-op for 5 hours of real time. You can look for people to play together in Community Hub.

Beat all Missions in Co-op.
You have to complete all 53 Missions in Co-op mode.

Complete all instances of Activities in Co-op.
You have to complete all 53 Activities in Co-op mode. (See Activities (Instances) for further information.)
