How to unlock the Crime Spree achievement

    This is definitely possible to get once you are king/queen as I've just done it myself.

    I went into Brightwall Village and just ran up and down the hill, killing the few guards at the top near the Academy and then running back down the hill and killing the guards down by the bridge. At 250 bounty per guard, you need to kill around 60 guards without leaving this area at all, but sure enough the achievement should pop.

    Took me around 15-20 minutes to get using this method and dont forget to quit out to the dashboard once you've done it to avoid the morality hit of you want your character to remain an upstanding member of the community :-)

    NOTE - Following the feedback on this solution, I should add that this method only appears to work in Brightwall Village and not at other locations. I cannot verify this myself as I no longer have the game but hopefully this should save you some time trying elsewhere.

    SpryDuck729I can confirm this method worked after finishing the main story, and making all the good decisions. It took me around 25 minutes to unlock the achievement.

    The problem is if you wait with the achievement till youre king/queen you cant make a bounty anymore.... Luckily i found out how you can still get it with that character :D.

    Just join another players world :P.
    Can be done with your character as player 2 in an offline game or you can join an online game.

    And if youre going for the good guy with high morality... Just leave the world right after you get the achievement... It wont save so youre morality is still the same:D

    Edit: the bounty amount must be done alone... It cant be combined.

    TastyUrchinPlease add this to your solution: If you don't want the game to save after you've started this, don't leave the area, or it will autosave, and you will be stuck with the bounty and the evil points.

    Yes you can!!!

    It took me less than a minute to get this achievement when I went for it, and was a darn sight easier than running around picking fights with people. Although I have to admit I got it before I became King, so I don't know if the problem others have mentioned would occur.

    After buying one of the weapon's stores, simply enter it at night and do a quick recon of the weapons on offer. If all together their values come to more than 15k, then simply step outside and wait for the guard to leave (because you entered the shop one will come over) before re-entering and stealing the weapons.

    3 weapons got me a bounty of 16k when the guard finally caught me, popping the achievement. Only slight problem with this is the blacksmith then hates you, increasing the value by 10%, but since you're getting 25% off for owning the place - not to mention the stupid amounts of money you get later on - it doesn't really bother me... and if does bother you, a handful of quests will get the man back on your side :)

    EDIT : I have been reliably informed that this method does not work once you become King (or Queen) since the guard will no longer arrest you, so be warned.

    ArtanicusGreat idea, but unfortunately doesn't work if you're king/queen already. The guard just won't arrest me so apparently no bounty is accrued.

    Mr GranstaffOnce the achievement pops, couldn't you just quit to the dashboard so your evil actions isn't registered?
