Introduction
This is the hardest achievement in Mad Max and very very annoying. This guide aims to make it as easy as possible.
Up To The Task - achievement requires you to complete all non-repeatable challenges. You can view them at LEGEND menu. All the challenges listed that says "Completed 0 times" are NOT needed for this achievement as they are concidered repeatable.
If you haven't already DO NOT:
Reduce threat level to zero in territories
or
Turn in any scraps to Strongholds
This is because you'll have easier time finding enemies all around making this achievement faster to complete. Also the only way to switch between day/night is done by turning in scraps to Strongholds. Helps you alot to be able to go to night time.
But if you are like me and you already reduced all the threat to zero and you already fully completed the strongholds. Nevermind. You can still finish everything.
Death Runs And Unlocking Cars
Many challenges require specific car. You can unlock all the cars by going to a death run and winning the race with that car. To unlock Archangels you need to buy the required upgrades from GARAGE menu.

Locations
Below are the important locations to find certain enemies and vehicles required for the challenges.
Multiple enemies and a scrotus vehicle that respawn everytime:
Two Buzzard vehicles spawn here:
Two enemies with thundersticks spawn here:
Boarder cars patrol location:
When you drive around this road junction there will be patrols of three cars Roadkills(day time) and Buzzards(night time). Roadkill patrol has usually total of 2 boarders while a Buzzard car might have 2-4 boarders. Just keep driving around this area and fast travel nearby and keep checking the area. It's a struggle I wont lie, but you will find it.
Tricks To Help With Many Achievements
Deah run trick:
If you exit your car you automatically fail death run and get to choose Continue or Retry. For many achievements simply kill few cars with a thunderstick or other reguired way and instantly exit car to get new kills over and over again by choosing retry.
Thunderstick gets you a fast double kill everytime when you shoot one of the cars starting on 3rd and 4th positions immediately when the run starts.
Also when death run starts you can immediately press 1 to go to sniper and shoot red barrels and tires for achievements - exit car and repeat.
Destroy specific vehicle:
If you need to destroy a specific vehicle like for example "Defeat 5 Rammerheads by ramming head to head". See section Death runs and unlocking cars and look where you can unlock the car Rammerhead. Now go to a Stronghold and choose to drive the unlocked Rammerhead. Exit the Rammerhead outside and press (default: 2) to summon Magnum Opus. Now you have a Rammerhead to ram.
Destroy Scrotus vehicle:
You can either use the trick above or drive to a Scrotus scavenging camp in Deep Friah's territory (see Locations) and use the vehicle spawn there. The Scrotus car respawn when you drive away abit and return.

Don't pull away too far or the boarders crash on the road between you and don't stay too close or they'll board you anyway. See Locations where to find them. If you haven't cleared all the Gutgash territory Convoys they usually have boarders. After the boarders are all dead destroy the boarder car for challenge below.
