    Additionally, if you want to obtain this achievement with the most benefit, it will require you to do ONE of the following (or both):

    We will be accessing vigilante mode within the best suitable vehicle for this method.
    It will require you to at least pass flying school to gold standard or beat the game.
    Ideally, this achievement should be one of the last achievements you aim for in San Andreas!

    the best thing about using this method is you accumulate an insane amount of cash aswell as you have a tracker on screen showing your exact kills on the mission aswell as your Level in the side mission too. This method got me just under 2000 kills in 30 minutes. (On screen it states 800, however killing any police vehicles seating 4 FIB officers aswell as helicopters and pedestrians accounted for a mass amount of stat increase)

    A) At Least Get GOLD At All Flying School Levels
    B) Beat The Game End of The Line

    A) - Once you've beaten the flying school missions all to gold a HUNTER military helicopter will spawn outside the safehouse in the desert. This helicopter is unique as it has both rockets and machine guns mounted onto it and has the ability to access VIGILANTE mode.

    B) - Once End Of The Line is beaten, go to the San Fierro naval Base (Not Boat) and a Hunter helicopter will spawn inside. [Warning: You attain an instant 5 star rating!]
    this applies with the same details as option A's Hunter

    The method:
    For this method, we will access the Hunters Vigilante mode via clicking in the cn_RS right thumbstick!

    1- Upon climbing inside the hunter you can toggle to access vigilante mode via clicking in the Right Thumbstick or cn_RS (R3). Right Analog
    2- Follow the targets on screen and use both your rockets and machine guns to eliminate your targets
    3- Continue the process of eliminating targets until you get the achievement.
    I obtained just under 2000 kills in 30 minutes and accumulated $10 million.

    RyanMpwnzYeah you definitely do not get 2000 kills per 30 minutes with this, but I still feel this was one of the faster methods I did to earn kills. Might I add I think its best to try and shoot down cars and people on the way for the vigilante missions.

    Seems like the best method. "You definitely do not get 2000 kills per 30 minutes with this" Note that the kill counter will be much lower than your actual kill count as it counts your target kills only. If you're shooting police vehicles at the same time you can absolutely get 2K kills per 30 minutes. I basically just held down B for the machine gun, killing everyone I came across and got like 1.5K in 15 mins

    Wazowskii TimeVigilante is best method, i believe your copter is indestructible (i was running into a ton of things) and you get a number on your screen to help you hit small milestones to keep you motivated on unlocking. Happy hunting!

    I would like to expand upon the approach mentioned by XGC iTz MaTriX, which involves running over pedestrians. I found this tactic to be much quicker, and much less frustrating, than the methods involving the Hunter attack helicopter, that God-awful Hydra VTOL aircraft, or on-foot weapons, in or out of Vigilante mode.

    First I'd like to reiterate MRMIdAS2k's point about which stat tracks progress toward this achievement, because that was the first bit of info I was seeking in the solutions here. It is indeed Stats > Crimes > People You've Wasted, and not Total Legitimate Kills (which discounts pedestrian run-overs). I was curious about this because by game's end I had about 2,600 kills, with 35 territories held and defended, but I was really getting bored with gang warfare.

    So, sure, running over pedestrians is a no-brainer, but I found what I believe to be the best spot, the best vehicle, and the best overall routine for getting it done quickly. Go to the Strip in Las Venturas; this is the large double-wide street (modeled after Las Vegas Blvd.) that runs north-south where all of the casinos are located. This street is very long and straight most of the way, it has extra-wide sidewalks and tons of foot traffic, and very little cross traffic to get in your way. I began with the Yosemite pickup truck because it doesn't lose too much speed after a run-over (unlike fast street cars), it's durable (again), and it's easy to keep steady while the police are ramming you.

    Eventually the truck will explode and you'll be wasted, and you'll spawn at the hospital. From here, get into the Ambulance which is just around the corner in the parking lot. It's even more durable than the pickup truck, and has the same beneficial attributes I mentioned above. It's a pedestrian-plowing machine, really. The hospital isn't far from the strip, so make your way east, back to the boulevard, and repeat.

    I just kept running that ambulance up and down the strip's sidewalk, from the Cluckin' Bell and Binco clothing store on the northern end, to the Four Dragons casino on the southern end, until I got blown up. Each run would last 5-10 minutes netting me 100-200 kills, depending on whether or not police bikes got involved (bikes shoot at you causing more damage quickly, but the regular police cars don't shoot -- funny thing is, sometimes I had no bikes show up at all). It takes some time for your wanted level to get to 5 stars, which is when the FIB trucks start annoyingly getting in your way. If I hadn't gotten blown up by the time they'd arrived, I'd just let them kill me quickly so I could start again fresh.

    Many down-voted XGC iTz MaTriX's suggestion to do pedestrian kills and I'm not sure why. A commenter said it was too slow, but maybe that person never found the right spot and vehicle to do it efficiently. If you don't have a moral objection to getting cheap pedestrian kills, I found this to be far easier than dealing with annoying aircraft.

    Because for me, Vigilante mode in the Hunter wasn't very efficient... and that Hydra just plain sucks.

    z 4assed monkeyCrazy. Have you tried reloading the game? Or a console reset?

    GuidalityI just had to reload another save where I lost maybe 60 kills. Not the end of the world just was curious to see if there was some point of no return I crossed even though it's obviously the last achievement you should get

    rafa1000houseAnother good vehicle near the Hospital spawn is the fire truck. It's one block away. You can drive the ambulance killing some pedestrian in your way: from the ambulance spawn, leave the parking lot, turn left and then turn next right. You can spot the fire truck parked at a red building.

    When FIB (heavy police) trucks appear, you can lure them to chase you to Four Dragons Casino and then quicky leave your vehicle and save the game using the hard disk icon. This will cause your wanted level disappear and all FIB vehicles will be there, so you can use them instead.

    After you beat the mission "Vertical Bird" a Minigun, Flamethrower, and Heat Seaking Rocket Launcher will spawn inside Torenos ranch in Tierra Robada (this is the place where you did the monster truck mission). There's also a save point right outside the house. The minigun has 500 ammo and every time you save it respawns, if you pick it up enough time it says you have infinite ammo although you really don't but at this point you'll know you have quite a bit of ammo to work with. You can start killing people that drive by the ranch or on the freeway and you'll get a good wanted level going, stay at the ranch and camp by the save point if you're about to die or you get a 6 star wanted level just save and you'll have your health refreshed and wanted level reset. This is pretty much cheating, but they scripted the game the way they did and I'm just takin advantage of it lol. I feel it goes without saying, but I'll just say you should do the 30 gang territories and beat the main storyline before you go for this chievo as they'll have you getting kills, (pretty much you'll want the most kills you can have before you start grinding this). Video solution below for those who prefer it.
