GTA Vice City Definitive Edition Take the Cannoli

Edit: User Darkness727420 has pointed out to me that I have made it unclear how the point system works. Here is a link that explains it. Basically if you do the "Cone Crazy" exploit detailed below, you will definitely get the achievement along the way to beating it and getting 100% in game.

https://www.gtavice.com/criminalratings/
This achievement has now been patched to unlock at a 100,000 criminal rating instead of 1,000,000. This rating is at the top of your stats screen.
For anyone thinking about boosting out accuracy or doing two playthroughs, I really don't think that's necessary, as long as you are comfortable with doing the "Cone Crazy" exploit. I used the video by Gtamen in the link below.

To clarify a couple things about the process and where I was in the game :
*I played the game normally going for 100%. I was at 62%, at the point where you can buy properties, and decided to do this.
*My criminal rating was around 40,000, I had already done several side missions.
* The second my money maxed, the achievement popped, with my criminal rating being 118914.
*I also included a link that explains how to time your runs on "Cone Crazy" so that you don't screw yourself.

Edit: user mattdanky said he got the achievement by doing the "Brown Thunder" mission to level 162, by activating mission next to airport runway. "Brown Thunder" is the helicopter equivalent of pVigilante using the Hunter chopper that is unlocked when you get all 100 packages. It places the chopper in the Fort Baxter Airbase, north of the airport. It spawns somewhere else as well

after you have 100 packages AND finish the story. If you go to Fort Baxter, it helps to have the Cop uniform that you get from the mission

otherwise the soldiers will shoot you.

*Edit comment from @PirateKing have to endorse the Brown Thunder method. I beat the game with a criminal rating just shy of 22000. It took me a few attempts but when I finally got it together the achievement popped on level 159. A few tips I picked up along the way: The first 12 Levels are the hardest as the spawns are more random around the map, so if you fail a few time early, don’t give up. In level 12 and beyond, most of the spawns will be along the main road by the ocean (if you start from the base). The random spawns elsewhere will often be somewhere that gets them killed immediately and the stranglers will often get killed by the tanks on the road once you’re at wanted level 6. Stay high until your line up with the target on the road and ready to make a bombing run. That way the only thing that can take you out are annoying helicopters. Unless you are sure the helicopter is going to miss you, get away and line up you attack somewhere else. Time will not be and issue, so take your time to make sure your in good shape before attempting to take out an enemy. Hope this helps someone get the achievement a little easier.
