tapirsloth Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 ... clearly illustrates of how someone at R* was inspired in order to design a highly "creative" in game content. and.. was paid for it. at least this makes someone busy after the computers became inaccessible with the new patch.

saintdave Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Pigeon hunting is quite a tedious task. Unlike in previous GTA’s where by finding collectables you would get a better reward each time for every 10 found, pigeons give you nothing until you find them all. Even then the reward is something that can be found prior to that during normal play.

Powdinet Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 The pidgeons task is stupid. Most of the time the Pidgeon can't even be seen in the daylight, even when it's right in front of my gun. The only way to find out where they are is by having the speakers on max.

Chris_Waddle Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 God how I hate doing this. This is all I need to do, to complete the 100% game completion on the x-box. I downloaded the maps and worked my way through. Somehow I have marked off all 200, but on killing number 200 I realised that I have only killed 199. It's my own fault. A few times I turned off the machine before saving. I forget that autosave doesn't happen after killing one of these. At some point I will start this all over until I find the one I have missed. Here is a good link for the maps and a walkthrough of where they actually are. There is a far easier way to get what they call pigeon number 1. Grab a chopper from the Heli tours and land it on the tower right next to the pigeon. Shoot it and fly away. No police will bother you this way.

Skroting Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Isn't it possible to make a mod that instantly kills all f*cking pigeons with the push of a button?

There is a far easier way to get what they call pigeon number 1. Grab a chopper from the Heli tours and land it on the tower right next to the pigeon. Shoot it and fly away. No police will bother you this way. I did that a few minutes ago (I didn't see this post). The only problem with your method is if your helicopter f*cks up when landing and the tail or something else breaks. The only way down is by suicide. Edit: Attention to people who are using the in-game maps. One of the pigeons does not appear in any of the 2 maps given by the game producers. It is in a small pit in the scrapyard east of abandoned cargo ship.(In Acter Industrial Park) Thanks to Chris Waddle for the link to the pigeon locations Edited January 28, 2009 by Powdinet Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/394172-the-annoying-pigeons-killing-job/#findComment-1058922040 Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintdave Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Wait, I thought all pigeons unlocked a rocket-firing Annihilator... Nope this was just a myth that has been around ever since the game was released. Fact is it's just a regular version which as mentioned can be found without having to find all 200 pigeons.

Hydro_PT Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I just spent a morning and two afternoons to complete these tedious pigeon hunting and when I thought I was going to kill the last of them... surprise. I've only killed 199 pigeons!! I had a lot of work to mark the ones I had already killed on the map each time I did it, so I'm pretty sure I didn't miss one... but the fact is that I missed and now I must search on all the 200 locations again and find that sh*tty pigeon. I will kill it with a RPG as soon as I find it! Going to start on Alderney now, because it was the last island I did and I could have missed one there. I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any other... It's a pain in the ass this thing. I want 100% completion and the achievement but damn, if I ever finish this game again I'll stay with only 97.5%. Not even going to look at the pigeons... I wish there was a mod that could put all the birds on the same place, so you would just need to go there and kill them all at once...

I'd be happy with the in game map making the pigeon disappear when you shoot it. Then you could tell which one(s) are left. I have a save game with 199 also.

Hydro_PT Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 You realize that in the in game map there are only 199 birds? Yeah I knew that but I was using a map I found on GamesRadar that is really big and gives a good location of each pigeon. I was also using the map here on GTA4.net to see where the pigeons were exactly. Oh but I found the last pigeon hehe! I really missed one in Algonquin. I was pretty sure I've killed it, but now I remember why I didn't kill it. I was about to pop it but I had only a little bit of health and the cops were after me, and one of them killed me before I could kill the pigeon. However I marked it on the map because I was so used now to alt + tab and mark each one as dead that it was already a kind of a "mechanic" thing. That's what happens when you spend about 8 hours going after them. I first checked all the pigeons on Alderney and Happiness Island, then I moved on to Algonquin. I was doing the 200 to 100 pigeons first, and then I would check Bohan, Dukes and Broker for the 99 to 1. I was really pissed off, and everytime I checked a spot I was hoping to see one. When I finally landed my chopper in another place and I saw an orange glow... I was so damn happy xD. It was one that is behind the church in Algonquin, the one you use for two missions. I carefully pointed the shotgun to him and PUM. All pigeons killed, achievement unlocked. Now I'm stuck with 98,33% of game completion, dunno what's missing. Maybe an activity with a friend... damn lol. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/394172-the-annoying-pigeons-killing-job/#findComment-1058941965 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have here a 100% checklist, and the only thing that could be missing was an activity with a friend, because they are the only that worth 1.66%, just what I needed to get 100% (ok actually when I sum everything up I just get 99,99%, so that extra 0.01% is given when you complete everything xD). I started dating Brucie, Jacob and Packie like crazy, until I found out that the only thing left to do was eating with Brucie. I had done that already, but I took him to Burger Shot, and he didn't like it. At this time I took him to one restaurant in Algonquin and it worked. Got 100% and got the achievement. Only 2 achievements left now. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/394172-the-annoying-pigeons-killing-job/#findComment-1058946030 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro_PT Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 What do you mean? You get the friends' abilities by successfully dating them through the various activities available on the phone for each one. Usually around 70% / 80% they call you to offer the service. You can see how much they like you by accessing the stats.

Gryet Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 To everyone sitting with a map and only got 198 pigeons but marked all of them on the maps: Some of the maps in GameFaqs are INCOMPLETE and does not have all 200 pigeons marked. Be sure you use the one having both a marked map and a text guide telling you where all 200 are located.
