Attacking
Peppered (Fire 1,000,000 rounds)
How to: Use minigun (most rounds at 3x200), find target with high def, low str (such as diosphoenix:1.5M def which will work for sub 110k str). Attack them 1,667-1,739 times, using as much ammo as possible each time.
Minigun shoots 20-30 bullets each time, say average of 25, 25 turns per attack - 2 for reloads, 23x25 = 575 rounds per attack
1,000,000 rounds / 575 rounds per attack =1739 attacks
Natural energy with donator pack = 720 / 25 per attack = 28 attacks per day
1739/28= 62 days. With 3 Xanax each day: 58 attacks per day, 30 days
Cost: 5.56 ammo = 18 x 1,000,000 = 18,000,000. 90 Xanax x 830,000 = 74,700,000. Total: 92.7M
Kapow! (Deal 100,000,000 damage)
How to: use HEG’s and buy 20,000 losses
HEG average damage = 5,000; 100,000,000 damage /5,000 per loss = 20,000 losses
Cost: 20,000 HEG’s x 15,000 = 300,000,000. 20,000 losses @ 300k = 6,000,000,000; @ 400k = 8,000,000,000. Total: 6.3B+
Annihilation (Deal 15,000 damage in a single hit)
How to: attack an NPC, use yasukuni sword, claymore sword, jackhammer with 1 or 2 of deadly/frenzy/deadeye/eviscerate/specialist bonuses until you get a critical hit over 15,000 damage.
Cost: 90M-8B, depends on the weapon you choose. Total: 90M+
Camo
Tiger Skin (100 skill in hunting)
How to: do at your own risk

https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=16&t=16250568&b=0&a=0&start=0&to=21948308
Cost: 130k-160k energy, multiple tiger days, e-cans, xanax, green eggs, 100-200+ days flight time
Weapons
Specialist (100% EXP on 25 weapons)
How to: attack NPC’s, grind attacks, or buy losses, takes 2000 attacks with each weapon. Optional to use merits to boost weapon damage and accuracy. There are 27 clubbing weapons, 22 piercing weapons, 21 slashing weapons, 19 unique pistols, 17 unique SMG’s, 14 unique rifles
Cost: 2,000 x 25 = 50,000 @ 300k/loss = 15B, @ 400k/loss = 20B
50,000 attack would take close to 1000 days doing it yourself, so I recommend buying losses for a majority of them.

War machine (1000 finishing hits in every category)
How to: buy losses, make sure to swap weapons as you complete them
Cost: 12 categories x 1000 = 12,000 @ 300k/loss = 3.6B, @ 400k = 4.8B
Mod boss (own 20 mods)
How to: buy mods from the mission shop, price varies 300-8000 credits. Currently 30 mods in the game.
Cost: bare minimum (lowest value of 20 cheapest mods on special offer) = 6874, say 30 credits per day average;
6874/30 = 229 days
Assuming the minimum, with no special offers: 14,079/30 = 469 days
Modded (2 tier 3 mods on a weapon)
How to: buy mods from the mission shop, price varies 300-8000 credits. You must purchase the 1st tier to unlock the 2nd, then the 3rd. Not all mods have 3rd or 4th tiers. Try get them on special order as they’re much cheaper, the two least expensive being the laser and muzzle break.
Cost (minimum with special offer): Lasers; 239 + 645 + 1075 = 1959. Muzzle breaks; 213 + 252 + 946 = 1414
At say 30 mission credits per day: 3373/30 = 112 days

Crimes
Decepticon (respond to each category in one scam)
Quick note: and this goes for the majority of these, I am not a guru and have not achieved 97% of these. Don’t go throwing around billions without some of your own research. I am drawing from other guides, and my own logical analysis, but I can’t say for sure because I don’t have them. But velutinous is actually really easy and everyone should have it
How to: all credit to https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=61&t=16418415&b=0&a=0
You need crime skill above 60 to even have a chance at this. Other than that, read the guide. Some people have 100 skill, and still not this honor.
Drugs
Spaced out (Overdose on cannabis)
How to: use cannabis, completely random
Jail & Hospital
Don’t drop it (bust 10,000 people from jail)
How to: bust people from jail using 5 nerve or with money. Lower time = cheaper and higher success rate
Cost: ranges from 190k per hour up to 600k per hour for longer sentences. Assuming 25% success; daily nerve = 1 per 5 minutes = 288 per day. 288/5 = 57 nerve attempts per day at 25% success = 14 successes per day. Although other people will also be racing for these. Anyway, 10,000/14 = 714 days
Aiding and abetting (bust 2,500 people from jail)
How to: see Don’t drop it, cost : 2500/14 = 178 days
Aside : I am curious how successful a “buying jail sentences” business would be. Say you pay noobs 300k to spend their nerve shoplifting big al’s or the jewelry store when they have cameras and bodyguards. With a 20% success rate(of being sent to jail), it would be equivalent to selling losses, and earn help in earning these honors faster. Same goes for longer sentences, have them send you the bail amount + 500k, and bust them out. I will have to collect my own data to see if these options are viable. So stay tuned.
Gym
Shredded (100,000,000,000 total stats)
How to: see Ripped, then use 232 stat enhancers. 1.01^232 =10.06; 10,000,000,000 x 1.01^232 = 100,000,000,000.
Cost: 232 x 455M = 105.5B
Ripped (10,000,000,000 total stats)
How to: use 4 FHC, 3 xanax, and a refill each day and train every day for 365 days. TBH, this might not get you there, 60 days starting at 10k gets you to 25M, 60 days starting at 5M gets you to 250M, 60 days starting at 100M gets you to 400M. So, 365 days at 100-200M per 20 days might only get you to 3B…
Cost: 4 FHC x 365 x 11,400,000 = 16.6B, 3 Xanax x 365 x 830,000 = 909M, 30 points x 36,000 x 365 = 394M
Total cost: 17.9B, possibly double that (36B) if you have to continue for another 365 days.

Survivor (bought in token shop/points building)
No longer achievable. Was for an event called torn of the dead, awarded for surviving as a civilian.
Brainz (bought in token shop/points building)
No longer achievable. Was for infecting 50 people as a zombie.
You are supposed to be able to buy this and Survivor using competition tokens, however there are no more events that reward competition tokens.

Total cost: 41.3B

Buy in order of faster ROI
Diamond hands (profit 1,000,000,000 in one stock sale)
How to: with the new stock changes, you probably need 100B in one stock, wait till it is up 1.01% and sell. The extra 0.01 will cover the fees of selling
Cost: Having 100B sitting around but you actually profit 1B ;)
Bearish (1,000,000,000 total losses in stock market)
How to: put 1,000,000,000 in one stock, let it drop a few percent, say 1% then sell. Re-buy for 1,000,000,000 and repeat 100 times.
Cost: 1B
Casino
Jackpot (hit the jackpot on slots)
How to: use 75 tokens in slots everyday, higher price gives a very slightly higher chance, completely random
Total cost: hopefully net positive when you win!
Missions
Mercenary (complete 1000 contracts)
How to: complete 1 mission each day for 1000 days (2.74 years).
Total cost: you will be 2.74 years older when you complete this
Misc
Slow bomb (use dirty bomb)
How to: acquire 100 cesium-137, and a hazmat suit. 200 hours to make, 1 day to detonate
Cost: 100 cesium x 600,000,000-850,000,000 = 60B-85B, hazmat suit = 12B (cheaper if you rent one)
Total:72B+
Refer to:

RDD (use dirty bomb)
How to: see Slow Bomb
Journalist (publish in newspaper)
How to: put some effort into hosting an event for the community or advertise an existing event or track some data or cover some drama.
Velutinous (publish a comic)
How to: think about something in torn, make a basic comic. It doesn’t have to be pretty, just check the comics in the newspaper. If you have 0 creative ability look at some clouds, what do they remind you of?
OP (achieve 150 personal perks)
How to: https://www.torn.com/forums.php#/p=threads&f=61&t=16411802&b=0&a=0&start=0&to=24973527

How to: refill casino tokens at the points building

OP
Decepticon
Not currently earn-able
Brainz
Survivor
Guide over, My thoughts:
Even assuming perfect effieciency for a lot of these, you can see the dedication it takes to earn these. I bet you could easily double some of these time frames and costs to be more realistic
But how am I gonna get all this money, you might be thinking.
Bet 1,000,000 on any game of your choice that doubles if you win, win, and re-bet your profit. Repeat 18 times.
1,000,000 x 2^18 = 262B. Your odds of this happening are 0.00038%, or 1 in 262,000.
Alternatively, you could start at 10M and double 14 times for 327B,
Or start with 100M, and double 11 times for 204B,
Or even 1B, and double 8 times for 256B.
You know what they say, can’t get rich without taking risks am I right?
Another method would be through donator packs:
262,000,000,000/24,000,000 = 10,917 DP’s x 5 = 54,600 USD (or 78,600 for us Canadians)
So, you could spend the $54,600 and achieve many of these merits. Personally, I wouldn’t condone this because a good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children.
Fun fact: There are no currencies that equate to more money in torn than real money, but the closest is the Iranian rial(IRR) which would cost you 1,860,000 rials for one donator pack.
