How to unlock the Intel achievement

    Smartphones are hidden phones that look sort of like Nokia Lumia 920 Windows Phones. They are usually in buildings in areas where there are rooftops, but they can pretty much be placed anywhere. These ones are extremely hard to find all 40 of without the use of a map, but a lot of them can be found while fighting enemies and doing missions by accident. To obtain one, all you need to do is approach it, and press cn_Y.

    Now, the game does a pretty good job of providing you with collectibles maps. They are easily purchasable with Overcharge, but I like saving my charge for better weapons. So I went and searched online for an awesome map of all the Smartphones.

    Here is a link to the map:

    which is from the website:

    But if you still want an in game map for convenience, and don't mind wasting overcharge / have too much of it, you can go to Two Hat Jack, found in any hide out and other locations in the city.

    To purchase your own maps, all you have to do is hold cn_Y on Two Hat Jack, hit cn_down or
    cn_LSd twice, press cn_A, and scroll through the list of maps for each and every collectible.

    Below is a video showing you the pricing of all the collectible maps and every single one that is available for purchase.

    There is 1 phone missing from this map.
    If you fast travel to The Diner (middle of the map) there is a challenge directly above the fast point.
    From that challenge marker, travel directly west to the sail boat docking place; On the northern dock right at the very end (right below an advertisement) is the final smartphone
    Thanks Onsidic

    These can be obtained by buying the collectible maps from Two-Hat Jack, and then collecting them in Sunset City. Once you have completed the story and challenges it is extremely hard to get any overcharge for it. You don't need the 100k weapon, I bought it and I struggled getting overcharge, so buy the maps first! If like me however, you are finding it hard to get overcharge later on in the game, this is the method I used to grind overcharge quite quickly to help me get the last maps I needed.

    This setup will help speed things up, to get the most of your time:

    Weapon - Hair Spray Bomb with SECOND AMENDMENT amp (this allows the weapon to keep regenerating ammo so you never have to use anything else)

    Overdrives:

    OD Killer
    Fizzbot Killer
    Electric damage (only use this if you use the Chance of Lightning Epic Amp)
    Fire Damage
    Sacrifice single shot (50% more damage with the hairspray bomb)

    Load up Mission A heros duty and follow the video below :)

    netstrykerThis way is really fast and still works. After the patch, after some waves the enemies doesn't come anymore. Just go back through rail until the building with three yellow square umbrellas that you can jump on. From there, go to the same station from video solution, the enemies will respawn in waves again. Just rinse and repeat.
