- Easy sledgehammer kills
Use the following trick to easily unlock the 'Super Hammer' cheat, which requires 100 EDF kills with the sledgehammer. Go to Dust near the Chemical Depot that is by the Badlands. Kill a few guards, then go back out of the depot. Wait for cars to pass by, then take them from the civilians and guerrillas. Form a wall using these cars with only two openings just big enough for people to fit through. Wait for the EDF to initiate coming in through the holes. Take out the sledgehammer and hit them with it. If they initiate trying to bash the car wall, blow up their cars. You can use the sledgehammer, but it will take awhile. Try using the explosives because the kills do not have to be all in sequence. Keep doing this until you have killed enough EDF. Warning: Do not go into the Chemical Depot.
- Fixing overturned vehicles
Exit a vehicle after it overturns. When it is on its roof, walk near it, and re-enter it. Repeatedly tap [Enter Vehicle], and the vehicle will turn over with its wheels back on the ground.
- Finding radio tags
Purchase the satellite locator upgrade with recovered salvage at any safehouse. Get a vehicle, and initiate driving around. When you get within range of a radio tag, a small pulsing green dot will appear on your map. Follow the map. The green dot indicates the location of a missing tag. Some of the tags are in difficult to reach locations. Using a dune-buggy type vehicle is recommended.

After the challenge ends, you should have a full health EDF tank where you left it before the challenge.
