Miscellaneous Achievements
"Jumped In"
At the Main Menu, before entering your game, you are able to create a THQ account. Select 'Community' and follow the on-screen instructions to create your account. Once you have created your account, enter your game and go to any clothes store and select the 'Character Gallery'. From here you can upload your character.
Create and share a character online.
"Ow My Balls!"
To unlock this achievement, you must perform a 'Testicle Assault' and a 'Nutshot' on an enemy (male) gang member. To perform a Testicle Assault, run up to an enemy gang member and press down RS. To perform a Nutshot, simply kill an enemy by aiming at his nether regions. In both instances, the diversion will appear on your HUD.
Do your first nutshot AND testicle assault.
"Haters Gonna Hate"
This is an achievement that you should get through natural story progression. To speed this up, play activities that allow you to kill lots of gang members, or play survival missions.
"Stay Classy Steelport"
For this achievement, you must kill 25 gangmembers with the Penetrator, and use the FIAJ (Fart in a Jar) on 25 gangmembers. The Penetrator is unlocked as a reward for completing the mission 'Return To Steelport' and can be purchased from any Friendly Fire store, whilst the FIAJ is a fully upgraded Flashbang. Find a group of several gang members and spam them with the FIAJ 'grenades' and then kill them with the Penetrator. Continue to do this until the achievement unlocks.
Kill 25 Gang Members each with 'the Penetrator' AND the Fart in a Jar.
"Cowboy Up"
To unlock this achievement, you must be holding at least one fully upgraded weapon in each weapon slot; Melee, Pistol, SMG, Shotgun, Rifle, Explosives, Special. Weapons that cannot be upgraded do not count towards the achievement. Thrown weapons also do not count. See the Upgrades page for information on all weapons (excl. DLC) and the costs of their upgrades.
Fully upgrade one Weapon in each slot.
"Gender Equality"
To unlock this achievement, you must simply play for at least two hours as a male character, and two hours as a female character. This can either be across multiple saves, or within one save game. Go to an 'Image As Designed' to change the sex of your character in your current game. Remember that you did not select a gender for your character until after the first mission of the game, so that mission does not count towards the achievement.
Play for at least 2 hours as a male character AND 2 hours as a female character.
"Third and 30"
To unlock this achievement, your total gameplay across all saves must exceed 30 hours. It is possible that you can complete all of the other achievements within these 30 hours. If this is the case, leave your game running until the achievement unlocks. Check your Stats menu for an accurate representation of time played.
Spend over 30 hours in Steelport.
Collectibles
Once you have reached level 20, you can purchase the 'Collectibles Finder' in the Upgrades menu, under Abilities. The upgrade costs $49,500. Once purchased, all collectibles from all hoods will be shown on your map. Now go to your map, filter to show 'Collectibles' and collect them. Some collectibles are on rooftops, whilst others are in shops and caves. It is wise to use the Jet Bike (Specter) to go around finding the collectibles.
