Map of orbs in crackdown 2: How to find and collect all 800 orbs



Rather than simply jumping to enhance their mobility, players have to actively search out green orbs perched in lofty locations throughout the city. Collect enough of these, and the Agent will jump so high and so far that taking to the skies quickly becomes the most efficient (and really only) means of travel. I freely admit that the aerial antics are entertaining, and many people have touted this so-called "orb hunting" as the best and most addictive part of Crackdown 2. I suppose that's true enough, but when the best part of an open-world game is collecting items, I see that as being an indicator that there's a serious problem with the content.

Deaf and hard of hearing: You should be aware that there are audio cues for finding some of the orbs in the game, and this cue is not represented onscreen. As a result, some out-of-sight orbs will be tougher to find, but otherwise the game is very playable without sound since most other in-game information is easily seen.


The world is also full of race challenges, enemy strongholds and hidden collectibles, all of which have no purpose but stat building. And yes, it's fun to jump around on rooftops collecting orbs like a reverse Easter bunny. Yes, it's fun to powerslide through crowds of zombies as their disembodied privates roll over your windshield like floppy hailstones. Yea, it may indeed by fun to kill a rebel by throwing the corpse of his estranged daughter at his head. But it's a fleeting kind of fun while you still have five million other rebels shooting at you, and not all of them have family on hand. Without structure, all the game can do is wait for you to get bored and do the same thing one always ends up doing when a sandbox runs out of appeal: climb to the highest point in the map and hurl yourself into the sea.


What I found inthe Crackdown 3 campaign was a game that, in many respects, is a welcome departure from the "why so serious?" vibe of modern shooters. Crackdown 3 offers the same aim assist mechanics familiar to those who play Rockstar titles, but the frenetic action and meta edgelord humor never let you take things too seriously. It also scales up rather nicely thanks to the series' trademark "kill for skill" progression system. Collecting colorful glowing XP orbs that tie directly to your actions is immensely satisfying and well-balanced. Shoot an enemy a few times and finish him with a punch and you'll get a mix of blue shooting XP and red melee XP.


Nowhere is this more evident than with Agility. You don't earn Agility in combat, but you gather these green orbs in hard-to-reach locations all over the map. Each map section offers a few dozen Agility orbs to find, and scouting for the green beacons from rooftops and pathfinding a route gave me serious Assassin's Creed style feels. Even better, traversal is directly impacted by your experience. You unlock things like double-jumps and dashes as your Agility skill increases. These are put to the test by way of immense propaganda towers, which you must scale and deactivate. The shifting platforms and fall away floors add a verticality challenge not found often in open world shooters. I had as much fun climbing as I did shooting. And shooting was a lot of fun.


  • Agility

  • To do this cheat you need two people. Both have to be in seperate helicopter. Both people need to fly at equal heights in a beacon laser. Then both people need to fly down at equal height (at least 10 feet under the beacon). So when you kill enemies you get agility with firearms or explosives (depends on the helicopter that you have).Big toilet

  • Spawn at the Agency tower. Note: It is recommended that you get your Agent's agility up to level 5 so you can have the Wingsuit. Once you spawn, move to the right and look for a large cylindrical pipe directly in front of the Agency Holding Pens building. It will be very tall, and is the only one that has an opening at the top. Jump down, but be careful; it is a very long drop. Use the Wingsuit's glide ability to slow your descent. You should find yourself in a small cave, in which there is a very large toilet with rubber duckies and beach balls.Crazy tire

  • Note: This is a random glitch. Get the harpoon gun. Blow up a car and get its tire. Place the tire at a location where you can shoot somebody into it. Note: The target can be civilians, Cell, or Agency but not Freaks. Shoot the person into the tire and it go crazy. If it does not work at first, try again.Deluge: Avatar Awards

  • Complete the indicated task to unlock the corresponding Avatar Award. PvP helmet: Download and play Deluge.PvP suit: Earn the "15 Minutes Of Maim" achievement.Easy "Yippee-Kai-Yay" achievement

  • Have two players. Have a player spawn the SUV and the other player get the helicopter Have the player in the helicopter hover low to the ground and let the SUV driver jump it into the body of the helicopter. You can both switch so that each player will unlock the achievement.Start by looking for an Agency supply drop point. Have the Agency SUV with you, then find a small car (no trucks or vans). Drive the car to the Agency supply drop point and park it, having the driver's side door towards the SUV. Press Back and store that vehicle. Get into the SUV and wait for the helicopter to pick it up. Once it gets low to the ground to pick it up, drive towards it and press B to jump into the helicopter to unlock the achievement.Easy Driving Experience

  • Simply wait until night time and get a car, then just ram into all the freaks! Tip: this works better at what I would say is midnight.Easy Helicopter

  • You know how you really want a helicopter but it takes so long to get agility 5, well I have a solution. The requirements are simple, you need driving 4, strength 5 and thats it. So first you have to face the wall on the right of the Agency Tower in the SUV and drive the SUV into the wall. When your'e about to ride on the wall hold down B and keep holding the gas button and when you're up there you got to look at the building that is closest to the helipad and throw the SUV on top of it. Then with the wires next to you jump on them and then on the window seal get on top of the building. Then get as far back as you can then drive the SUV while holding B and just as you are about to fall off let go of B and then you will land on the pad.Easy Renagade Agility Orbs

  • Get a helicopter from the Agency Tower and fly high above the Orb (Low enough that you can survive, unless you have the glide suit and can slow down). Jump out and drop down onto the Orb and it will not start moving until you are very close. If you have enough speed you should fly right into it.Use the following trick to easily get level 5 agility orbs (on top of buildings), even when you are level 1. Have a high agility level friend in multi-player mode climb to the near top of a high building with a level 5 Agility Orb on it. At the edge of the building, have him throw a magnetic lock (Mag) to where it is still on the vertical side of the building. Then, have your friend jump (glide if necessary) down and wait for you to climb on top of a nearby car. Then have your friend throw the other Mag on top of the same car. The car should be pulled up to the top of the building, so you can get the Orbs.Easy Vehicle Stunt Rings

  • This requires 2 people in an online Co-Op match. One person must get a helicopter from the Agency Tower and the other must get a vehicle (Agency Supercar or Cruiser. Both players should meet at the stunt ring. Equip Mag Grenades and stick one to the bottom of the helicopter and one to the roof of the car. Use the helicopter to fly the car through a stunt ring. Be careful: The mag grenades have a timer on them and will eventually explode.You can also toss a car with a fellow player inside through a ring.Finding orbs

  • Press Up to get a quick view of nearby orbs on the mini-map. You can repeat this after a few seconds. Use the following trick to find all the non-renegade orbs faster. Press Start during game play, then quickly press B, Up and look at your mini-map. It will be zoomed out, and it will also make the orb ping (Up) work in a much greater range. It will show you more orbs around you, and in a bigger area, which will in turn allow you to find the orbs faster as long as they are not renegade orbs.With an Agility 4 or greater, get a helicopter from the Agency tower and fly it as high as possible. Click and hold the Left Analog-stick to activate its jets to force the mini-map to zoom out as it moves faster. Tap Up to begin scanning for orbs.Flying objects

  • Note: This trick requires the Glide ability (level 5 or 6 Agility). Begin gliding and aim at something to hit. When you hit the ground you will roll. You must roll into the object (people, cars, etc.). The object will go flying.Helicopters

  • Use the following trick to find a helicopter with weapons. Spawn at the Agency island. Look at the gate to the bridge. Climb up the building to the right of the bridge. Look straight ahead after climbing to see a landing pad with four helicopters on it. Note: Level 5 Agility is required to reach them. Note: The helicopter closer to the Agency tower, and across from that, has missiles. The other two have machine guns.Use the following trick to find a helicopter with guns. Spawn on the island northeast of the Agency island. Once in the middle of it, climb the highest tower there. When you reach the middle level (with the free standing balconies), you will find a helicopter with no guns.Infinite Ammo

  • This cheat requires a second (cooperative) player on Xbox Live. Mount a turret and fire it. As you fire it, have your partner knock you off the turret. When you stand up you'll have infinite ammo -- and grenades.Mounted turret reload

  • To reload a mounted turret that you took from its stationary post (requires level 3 Strength), just find the post and replace the turret. Pick it up again for fresh ammo.Orb Finder

  • Press UP on the D-Pad to briefly get a glimpse at the nearby Orbs on your mini-map in the lower left corner. This "Orb-dar" takes a few seconds to recharge before each use.Orb Locator Exploit

  • Remember there is a built-in orb locator for all agents in Crackdown 2. All you do is push UP on the D-Pad.If you want a really good view of where the Orbs are, pause the game. Then unpause the game and immediately push UP on the D-Pad.The onscreen map briefly has a very nice aerial view when coming back from the pause screen so the Orb detector will pick up more locations.Quackers Duck Grenade

  • Begin by recovering the Beacon prototype by claiming the initial two bases, then activate three Absorption units to repair the First Power Network. This will let your agent deploy the Power Station Beacon in the Freak Lair to clear it of enemies.Go and take over the Cell Tactical Location at the Funland Carnival. Satisfy the kill quota until a support chopper comes to finish the takeover (with the allied soldiers doing the fast-rope). Save (and quit) your game. Boot the game again, reloading that last save, and head back to the Funland Carnival.One of the "Chuck's Ducks" game stalls has Quacker Bombs. To keep them for future use, just go to a Agency dropsite with them in hand. Easy!Reach Helicopter Platform with Low Agility

  • 1. Store a "long" vehicle at a drop point, like a ramp truck.2. Extract to the agency tower building and equip mag grenades and choose the long vehicle.3. Pull the door off of your vehicle and stick a grenade to the front of your vehicle and the door. If you cant get the door off blow up a grenade on it.4. Pick up the door, look towards the helipad (to the east of your extraction point) and jump to the platform.5. Run down the path to the heli pad (making sure that your vehicle is behind you), drop your door and blow it up.6. Jump and stick a mag grenade to highest part of the bottom of the helipad and the front of your vehicle. This will cause it to hang in the air. Stick a mag grenade to the back of your vehicle and one to the ground. This will cause your vehicle to be pulled to the middle of both points and you will be able to jump onto the vehicle and make your way up to the helipad.Smokestack Orbing

  • There are orbs on smokestacks that are an extreme pain to get. These can be obtained easily with the help of a helicopter. Get your agility up to level 5 (for the wingsuit) and make sure the Agency Tower is unlocked. Climb the tower to get to a helicopter. Approach smokestacks slowly and hover just above them (your landing gear may deploy but that's ok). Toilet

  • You must have a level 5 in agility before you attempt this. Get a helicopter and fly around Agency Tower until you see a big tube-like thing with no top. Fly over it and get out of your helicopter. Now, use your Wingsuit to fly down the tube. At the bottom is a toilet full of rubber ducks. Oh, and it's huge.Toy Box: Avatar Awards
