These damn agility ones, i swear. I've been all over the map and am still 36 short of 500. I'm beginning to think they don't exist. I'd say the trickiest was the russian lady in the cave with the missles. Theres a window out overlooking the highway and theres one up above there.

start climbing the tallest buildings you can find... and work your way down...

check the rocks too!
j3y q
yeah rooftops! i found that just exploring the map i found bunches i think im at like 190 and i have three stars one of the toughest one was the one on the ferris wheel
pookmish
I'm at about 475. Its so hard to find the last ones. I can only imagine how hard its going to be to find the very last one.
_GhOsT_
just found # 400 last night

its gettin harder to find these things
monkeyflungpoo
I got 14 left. Now these are impossible to find.
mianus
Found a bunch in shi gen i missed and a few more playing co-op with a buddy so now i'm down to 7. I just wish i could keep it night time cause they are much easier to see then.

Oh and we found a good stockpile of hidden ones, on the beach where the lifeguard buildings are, go on the rocks past that closer to the boss and there is a cave with 4 of them in and around it.

am at 493, i think, maybe 492, man they are tough when you get this far along. probably a few up high i missed and a few too low for me to have seen. so addicting

mianus
SOB, been on 499 for the last hour now. Any especially hard ones you can think of?
Knasen
I have 494, damn where are those 6 missing ones dry.gif

Will go check the "Oh and we found a good stockpile of hidden ones, on the beach where the lifeguard buildings are, go on the rocks past that closer to the boss and there is a cave with 4 of them in and around it." thingy, I don't remember that place.
T3rry
darn, i'm only at 425 and they're already tough to find, i'm sure someone will make a map soon enoguh, not that it'll really help much because a dot on a map could mean anywhere in there, and there is no way of knowing if you've got it already... this could make for a long week trying to collect em all.
mianus
Woot, just got it, finally found that bastard on top of a low building on the shi gen shore. Oh i was pulling my hair out then just looked over, hey wtf is that. Jumped down and there it was.

You know the beach near the ferris wheel, well head up that towards the yellow bosses house where you fight him down on the shore. As you head there you will se a couple large rock formations, and an arch in the middle, one is under the arch, then if your facing the water the rocks on the left in the middle has a tunnel in it, there are a few routes in it, go down all of them and you should find 3or4 more. Also if you back track to the life guard buildings you should see a walkway tunnel on the shore behind the resteraunt, theres 1 more in there. These are all hidden ones though.

My last few agility were the volk rocket lady, on top of the 2 red towers coming into her base. there is also a hidden up there on the rocks next to the left tower.

I am at 497 now. Spend 6 hours searching yesturday and found 2. Problem is, It feels like I have combed the whole city 3443324 times now and have no idea where to look for those last 3, argh !!!
pingrr
I think I still have well over 100 orbs left. I really don;t think I will be able to find them all.
T3rry
instead of goign crazy looking for the orbs, just go play some co-op with a friend and just screw around and you'll just basically trip over them, that's what i did, i have 450 of them and i looked for like 3 hours, found nothing, so i decided to go play co-op with a friend, we were just screwing around and i ended up finding like 6 of them in 20 minutes.
Knasen
After 5 more hours of searching today I found 2 more agility orbs and are now up to 499... sooooo near, but I think I will mever find that last one. I have searched all areas so many times now, and getting kind of tired of doing it. Would suck so much to not find the last one.... must.. search...just...a...little....more....

edit: A tip for you other people searching.. I realized that many of the orbs I find now near the 500 mark is not orbs being on high places, but rather the opposite, it's those orbs on ground level or maybe one story up on a balcony/ledge or similar. Must be because you dont notice them that easy when running around on the roofs all the time. I took a trip around the whole map coastline and the close surroundings and also ran around on the streets looking at the houses and found some orbs I had missed before.

swimming outside the city looking in helped me find a lot of orbs that you wouldnt see from inside the city.

got the big 5 0 0, was tilting from some poker i was playing and went back after a 2 day break from crackdown, found it within 10 minutes, was stuck on 499 before that. whoooooo.
grim_d
haha i'm at like 60, not played it much.
monkeyflungpoo
I got 490. I get excited when I find one.
cerealkillajme
I'm only about 360/500 and 70/300 so far.

Few tips to help you find them.

Listen for the orbs!!! When your within about 5-10 feet of an orb you can hear an odd humming like sound. I found a few of these strictly by doing this.

Try to look around when you jump, especially what your jumping over. In the mountains there were a few hidden orbs I hadn't seen the first time and had just jumped right over them.

Think of where you would hide them. Last night I saw a smoke stack in the factory area I was in. I figured there probably wouldn't be one in the smoke stack, but figured I'd put one there if I was a dev, so I checked it and there was one there. They were also in another 2 stacks I found too.

laugh.gif I've still got plenty left to get and they already seem like they are getting hard to find.

I got 388 right after I finished the single player mode. The only way to look is at night. It just makes it sooo much easier. Usually when you do the rooftop races, there are a few. Damn this game gets more fun as you play.
Knasen
Spend another ~5 hours yesturday looking for the last agiliy orb... do I have to add that I still didn't found it ? Crap, I'm getting tired of searching for this last one sad.gif
Knasen
Wohoooo , finally found the last agility orb!! I am so happy biggrin.gif

It's kind of funny, I was beginning to think about stop searching but gave it a shot today again and after ~15 minutes of searching through the same area that I know I have been into alot before I suddenly saw the last orb up in an antenna on a roof. It's weird because im pretty sure I have checked that roof like 342342 times before but not seen it then. Anyway, I'm really glad now.

finally, 500 last night biggrin.gif

Hey,

How do I get the one on the top of the giant glass globe in the Shai-Gen District? Tried climbing the outside but no luck yet. If I get that one, I only need 2 more.

that was the last one I got
I think you kind of have to start from the bottom and jump away from the bottom of the sphere then angle back towards the side to catch on to one of the ledges towards the "equator" of the sphere. You might need a 4 star agility just keep trying different angles.

C3R3ALKILLA you're logic is right on.

I'm in the 460's- but not positive.

I dunno if i want to strain my eyes looking at the guide, but i already played it for like 20 hours or something rediculous... So might wanna just get the microscope out.
Tripme
491...I too get excited when I see some

I usually find them in groups in places that I hardly ever go. Almost there though!
47_M450N_47
I think I'm at about 492 or 493, I'm pretty sure the only ones I have left are somewhere in the Shai Gen area. There are a few amazingly high buildings I haven't been on top of yet.
Tripme
Finally got it just a few minutes ago...it took a while to find the last one. It was a damn obvious one to, I had just run past in like 6 times trying to max out my stats (which I just did too smile.gif ).

raydn
got the full 800 was stuck on 499 for a while with the agility orbs

Knasen
I got 500 agility long ago, but I'm still on 299 hidden mad.gif

Then I read this today and got happy again:
"Easier Orb Hunting: Imagine how great it would be if when searching for the last remaining hidden agility orbs the audio range on each of them got wider as fewer remained; well imagine no longer. Audio ”ping” range is now gradually increased when searching for the last 50 percent of hidden orbs, and 20 percent of agility orbs." Taken from Major Nelsons blog btw.

Now I should be able to just run around in each are and hopefully I will hear the last hidden orb from miles away biggrin.gif

Anyone already updated the game and have experienced how much the audio range increase ? I mean do I still need to be really near, or how far can I be to hear it ? Anyone got experience on this ?

I just got 500 and 300 today. And the range is really increased. I know with my last hidden orb I was like half a block away. Took me forever to narrow it down.

Stuck on 299 out of 300 hidden and 499 out of 500 agility! I am close to tears beleive me.

I dont know what upsets me more, the fact im so close or the amount of time I have wasted trying to find these last 2 orbs.

To be honest I'm not sure I have it in me to go through the map again, I am soooo close but the boredom of looking for these have really killed off any of the enjoyment i was getting from this game really. Cant beleive after the hours I have put into this game I am just coming away with 820 gamer points, its all wrong I tell ya!

Im down to a few myself, and once thats all you have left to do in the game it gets extremely boring. Especially going through the same streets and crap 3billion times.

The best thing to do tho is to just get a buddy and search. You cover a lot more ground that way and most of the time you will just find one without even trying.

just got the 500
