How to Find a Helicopter
If you are having trouble finding helicopters then you should know that there are 4 helicopters docked at Agency Island. So in order to get a new helicopter, spawn yourself at the Agency Island and keep jumping the building beside you, till you see 4 helicopters docked on a helipad above water.

Just jump to the helipad by activating your wing suit and select the chopper of your choice as there are two types to choose from. You should keep in mind that you can’t use a chopper till you reach Agility level 5. See the video for further help.

Crackdown 2 Scarface Achievement
You have to kill 20 enemies in 10 second time using a minigun to get this achievement.Seems tough but it actually isn’t that difficult, there are multiple ways to do that. Easiest way is that you simply deploy in an agency buggy and find a place full of enemy freaks like a long road at night or a coastal area may be. Then all you have to do is blast, get in the buggy and blast them off with vehicle’s built in minigun.You can also see the link showing an alternate method.

How to Use Wingsuit
You can use Wingsuit once you reach the agility level 5. After you get your Wingsuit, you need to learn how to use it for the better use.You can jump a long distance using this suit without touching the ground.It feels as if you are flying like a bird once you master how to use it.

In the beginning you might find it hard to jump covering small or no distances with your jumps but as the game progresses, you will notice that you are able to jump longer distances.It’s not magic of course instead it is due to the experience you gain and also because of the fact that you get used to it.

If you need to learn it quickly then you should start jumping from buildings with high altitude like the Agency Tower. When you jump, activate your wingsuit and you will see the blue trails. Trails will get red when you are about to fall rapidly.

When the trail starts turning red you should press “push down” which will make you ascend and the trail will be blue again.You will have to jump for multiple times to perfect it and once you perfect it, you can unlock various achievements related to wingsuit like City Glider.See the video for visual support.

Complete the so called Crackdown 2 “Impossible” mission
There is a mission at the location “Shai Gen” tower on tactical map where you need to kill enemies standing on the tower without leaving a beacon because if you do leave the designated position, you fail the mission.

At first it does look as if it is impossible for a solo specially when you don’t have agility level 5 but actually it is not. Its true that in cooperative mod, it is quite easy to beat as one player can stay on beacon while other can clear the mess, but it can also be cleared in singleplayer with a little bit of strategy.

Make sure that you have agility level 5 for that otherwise it will be almost impossible to beat the mission. All you need to do is jump the side building while still looking at the tower. You can shot the enemies down once you reach their level.It may look simple but it is not and you may have to try for a couple of times to successfully do the trick.

Otherwise you can also use a chopper to do that. Make sure that you keep the chopper closest to the tower and you can get rid of those annoying enemies at the top.

Crackdown 2 Joystick Glitch
There has been an issue that when you pause the game using any joystick, and get back to the game after some time, you can’t use any key except for the one that makes your character move back.
Possible reasons told for this problem is either a modded console or a pirated disk. Well if you don’t have any of the above mentioned problems then updating the system can solve the problem. You can also apply the latest patch to get rid of the problem.

Crackdown 2 Car Jump Exploits
There are some interesting car jumps in Crack down 2.For example you can jump from one moving car to another car moving in opposite direction . Furthermore you can car jump with your partner by jumping on top of a flipped civilian vehicle while the driver has the pedal to the floor.These exploits a bit hard to perform and usually hell of a practice is required. Sometimes you can’t reproduce it again after you did it once. So if you are determined enough, you can perform them atleast for once.

Crackdown 2 Speed Glitch
This is very interesting glitch, to perform it you need to have high strength so that you can use the running charge attack. Use the charge and while running try to hit an abject on an angle so that the object rotates and hits you in the back. When the objects hits you, you will be running even faster then the cars for sometime. Which objects to hit it ? agency buggy and glass bus stops are best.

Xbox 360 users have been repeatedly reporting that the text style and size is too small to read in Crackdown 2. Dead Rising had this issue as well which ruined the game for some. Game text appears small and hard to read unless you have an expensive super TV to play on.
Unfortunately there is no solution to this problem as by no means you can make its text larger. All you can do is get yourself as closest to your monitor screen.
