How to unlock the Perfectionist achievement

    The completion percentage is easier to keep an eye on after you complete the story missions and start "mercenary mode". From what i have gathered this is how much each thing gets you and the order that they should be done to reach 75% the quickest:

    Kill Colonel: 0.14%
    Challenge: 0.10%
    Faction Item: 0.03%
    Complete Location to 100%: 0.03%
    Resource item: 0.01% (sometimes less)
    Sabotage: (destroy things like fuel tanks) >0.01%

    EthigyI ended up having to kill every colonel, complete every challenge, and collect every faction item. With all of that I still needed roughly 5%, which I obtained by clearing locations. All of this was done on Hardcore. What a crazy grind, clocked in at 56 hours.

    sjpsjpsjpMy statistics for anyone would may find it useful:

    46 hrs 17 mins on Casual
    1547760 chaos earned
    All main story missions completed
    All faction missions completed
    All stronghold takeovers completed
    62 Challenges completed
    262 locations discovered, 184 completed
    1582 resource items acquired
    197 faction items collected
    2264 Sabotages completed

    I found toward the end (my last 10-15%) that military bases were the best. I had largely not explored Selatan Archipelago (bottom right hand corner) and there's pretty much nothing but military bases. I was getting about 1% per hour for the last 10% or so.

    Don't underestimate collecting the faction items - they add up!

    By the time you are reading this solution you have surely come across the completion percentage score that will pop up every time you cause mayhem or complete something. This score needs to be raised to 75% in order to get the achievement.

    To do so I recommend you play the story first. There is no need to concentrate on this achievement at the beginning. Once you have completed the story you should be in the 50% area. This of course depends on how many villages you have taken over and missions completed. You will gain a certain percentage for doing the following:

    - completing locations (about 0,03%)
    - causing chaos adds (about) 0,005% per destroyed item
    - killing colonels (about 0,14%)
    - finding faction collectibles (about 0,03%)
    - completing challenges (about 0,1%)
    - collecting resource crates (about 0,01%)

    After completing the story you will automatically switch to Mercenary Mode where you can roam around Panau to get more completion score while keeping what you did in story mode. I recommend you concentrate on the following achievements first before going for the remaining percent.

    A Trusted Ally in Just Cause 2
    Up to the Challenge 2 in Just Cause 2
    Trying Everything Once in Just Cause 2
    Faction Benefactor in Just Cause 2
    Leaving No Rock Unturned in Just Cause 2
    Freeroamer 2 in Just Cause 2
    Destroyer in Just Cause 2
    Professional Hitman in Just Cause 2

    While doing these I also recommend stopping now and then to do some unrelated tasks to mix things up! You should end up with a completion percentage around the 70% marker depending on how much exploring you did before. All that is left to do is clear bases and villages while rounding up collectibles. Try to focus on the big bases first. The big harbour in the middle of the inner sea hold a lot of destructible objects (and a challenge for which you pretty much have to take out the SAMs first). Airports are also a good choice as are big cities.

    Here is an interactive map that might help you get to the locations of interest. Many thanks to ReptarOnIce3000 for providing the link!

    This one is straightforward but very time consuming. I myself reached this after I hit the 56 hour mark. Yea I know.. it's insane.

    Make sure you explore and complete locations as well keep doing your challenges, missions and collect those Drug/Skull/BlackBoxes and you should get this... after a long time.

    The map will be split into 9 sections (Given that you do the 3x3 stronghold takeovers. 3 for each gang of course.) Once that is done, all the collectibles / challenges will be revealed and you can begin harvesting.

    I'd recommend completing the 9 stronghold takeovers first, as collectibles can remain hidden in some areas, until you take over a neighboring stronghold. Something to do with overlapping / close borders or something like that! Be prepared, once you take over all the strongholds, your map will become very very VERY messy. Just stick to one county and clear everything up and move to the next. Soon you'll be able to follow your progress with your own eye.

    Good luck!
