    Anyway.. The best way to do this is to find an armored car. Unfortunately, armored cars do not start appearing in game until chapter 7, and there's more of them in later chapters. Also: Daradarka says that a bus works just as well. I cannot confirm this myself. The best place to find an armored car is around this area:
    External image


    It's kind of large, but they're there. I circled around there once and spotted 3.

    Once you have the armored car, you're pretty much invincible. No amount of bullets can damage the car from the back. It CAN be damaged from the front, however. And occasionally, you'll take some damage even when being shot at from the back, as the bullets sometimes go through the unprotected back windows. This is a very lucky shot on their part, and if it somehow kills you, that is some extremely bad luck on your part.

    All you have to do now is get 4 stars. Just drive around and run people over. You could also go on a shooting spree, just make sure your car is nearby. Once you're at 4 stars, wait around for the police to show up, if they haven't already. Once the police show up, I'd recommend simply parking the car and waiting for the 10 minutes to pass. Remember that the armored car is invincible from the sides and the rear, but not the front. With that in mind, when you stop, make sure the rear end of the car is facing the gunfire.

    TheIBigKahuna had a useful tip to add:

    A great way to get this is to park the Armoured Vehicle/Van in Bruski's scrapyard Car Crusher Head First, This way the police won't hurt you and will not enter the car crusher, so you can go do something else whilst you wait :D

    SuicideMeatball thinks the 10 minutes may be cumulative:

    "You don`t have to do 10 mins in one go. I was trying for this cheev and on my 3rd go i got it after about 30 secs. I think it`s the total time rather than doing it in one go. That`s how it was for me anyway."

    netstrykerI used this method. I found an armored car in my first 2 minutes of searching. After this, gain 4 stars was pretty easy and fast. I left my armored car inside of car crusher, the police car stayed stopped behind of my car. I went to have a snack and when I got back the achievement had already unlocked. Great solution! clap

    Violet VibesIdk if it was implied but the achievement didn't pop for me until I tried again but with the wanted poster on. The first time I tried I had 4 stars and the wanted license plate but not the wanted poster. If you're having trouble make sure the cops get a good look at you before you do the armored truck method.

    AlteredScotsmanTried a method of driving around the freeways with the Armoured Truck and the police chasing and shooting me while pushing me across the road for well over 20 minutes and the achievement never unlocked.

    I then tried the method of taking the truck and park in Bruski's crusher with the police behind shooting and the achievement popped in 10 minutes.

    Not sure why that worked over my other methods but that seemed to do the trick.

    Chapter 4

    At the end of the mission you will automatically get 4 stars. Kill all but one cop and hide in the alley. The cop won’t come in there. You will need to pop around to keep the 4 star active but it’s really easy.

    The Armored Car is even easier but the problem is finding one. You can do the back alley one several times before you even see an armored car timewise.
