In Just Cause 2, when does Autosaving occur?

Solution 1:

I've noticed auto-saving occur when:

  • You die, generally, in the world. This excludes Faction/Agency missions.
  • You 100% a location.
  • You reach a checkpoint in a Faction/Agency mission.
  • You complete a Faction/Agency mission.
  • You collect a Faction item.

I've manually saved all of maybe 5 times in my game (mind you, this is on the xbox 360, YMMV on other systems). When you die, your current destruction/completion process is saved as-is, so if you made 78% of completion in a given location before dying, when you head back it will still be at 78%.
