    This achievement requires you to get 3-stars on every challenge in the game, all of which can be access in the open world areas and come in 4 types:
    1. Armageddon: Absorb marked vehicles with your saucer.
    2. Abduction: Throw objects or lifeforms into an abduction beam.
    3. Race: Catch a drone as quickly as possible.
    4. Rampage: Kill enemies on foot.
    For later areas you need pretty much every upgrade in the game to succeed. Even with all the upgrades purchased I was only hitting 3-stars with a few seconds left on the clock. This most likely will be your last achievement, so you never really have to farm money for upgrades since you'll gain a lot during the campaign. Usually whenever you start needing them is when you start having the money to buy an upgrades next stage.

    Below are some tips for each kind of challenge, as well as a video guide that runs through each one individually (time stamps in it's description).

    Armageddon
    It's important to always be absorbing the marked vehicles. Every second wasted flying around without absorbing one will most often lead to less than 3-stars. After you begin absorbing a vehicle you don't need to stay near it, simple fly towards the next one and get ready to start the process again.

    Abduction
    It's important to go for quantity not quality here. Even for the missions where you're told to send him military items, with a bonus for "big things", I barely sent in anything big. Spamming barrels, crates, people, etc is a much better plan.

    Race
    You need to have the dash upgrade which allows you to glide along the ground after you dash with cn_B (almost like on an invisible skateboard). Hold cn_B the ENTIRE time, even when flying, it's what made it possible for me.
    • Suggestion from Bennieficial:“For the races, it was hard for me to hold B and keep tapping A to jump. So I went into the Xbox controller mapping in the Xbox settings and mapped the B button to LB. Made it much easier”
    Rampage
    Most missions it's very important to focus on what it wants, 'kills with anal probe', 'tanks blowing up', etc. Some of the earlier missions you can get by with just straight up mass murder, but if you try to just succeed with killing randomly in the later ones, you will definitely lose.

    I won't go into detail for each mission specifically, since the tips above apply to all missions, regardless of location/difficulty. But if you're looking for a visual aid I can't recommend this video enough.
    All credit goes to powerpyx for this video.

    I used this video for any of the ones I just couldn't seem to get, and after watching I usually got it in the next 1-3 tries.

    SoulSurvivor43Kudos for the button mapping tip! Capital Chase was kicking my ass and I always came up short by 200ish points but as soon as I decided to change the dash/skate button to RB, got it on the first try :D

    I Like DrinkinCapitol Confidential is the one holding me up. It's the last one I need to do, and after about 9 attempts, I still haven't even completed it without dying, let alone 3 stars lol. Honestly, I would've thought it was the stupid tank rampage that would be the most bothersome. Oh well, I have a week to get this before it leaves GP :P

    uberJamesThank you! Increasing my sensitivity to 70% for the Union Town abduction finally got me 3 stars and the completion!

    SpeleoFoolUnion Town abduction has been giving me fits, but I noticed in both this and PowerPyx's video you're staying with the beam for the most part. I think I have been getting too far ahead at a couple points and may either be missing some throws or tossing workers into walls and killing them.

    Actually got the Capitol Race done on about the 3rd (good) run--main problem I had there was the game lagging on my laptop (doing Win10 stack, but using this guide). I'd have to kind of play blind for a couple seconds until the game caught up. Once I got off the streets and onto the rooftops it ran smoothly.

    Anyway, I used an Elite controller with paddles mapped to A and B, which left me free to keep my thumbs on the sticks and really helped to track the probe's flight patch very tightly. I did most of the other races just holding B with my thumb and rolling onto A to fly, but the paddles made Union Town and Captitol City a lot easier to manage.
