Introduction: Welcome to Alarm for Cobra 11: Highway Nights. This game is an easy 1000, even if it's a litte time-consuming. This is my first achievement guide, so I'm up for any kinds of advices and tips.

Step 1: The Cases and Ben undercover
The career contains 3 different modes: "Patrol", "The Cases" and "Ben undercover".
Begin the game with solving the cases because you will get most achievements by simply playing the story.
Meanwhile and as soon as possible, collect all cars for Ben undercover which is selectable via the main menu. Iirc, the list will be unlocked after the correspondent case "Ben undercover" on day 1. Start patrol and wait for a note on the screen that a needed car comes by. Accept and catch the car. I would suggest to start at the security company, to drive to the huge nearby roundabout (you can't miss it on the map) and just wait. Alternatively, you can go after the cars since they are marked on the map.
When finished with the list, go to Patrol mode and wait for a notice for a new mission called "The Party". If it doesn't pop up, switch the scenario. Complete "The Party" (it will also be added on your current progress of the game) and go on with the story.
Important: Don't save "Ben undercover" and "The Party" up to the end when you have finished all other cases! If you do, you will only have one chance to complete The Party as it will not be added to the cases list after completing the story mode. So, if you fail on this mission, you will miss the achievements "Supercop", "Test Drive" and "Garage Owner". I would highly suggest to go after Ben undercover and The Party as soon as it unlocks, so that the chance of any missable achievements will be excluded.

Step 2: Single Races
Now it's time for the most time-consuming part of the game. You will have to win a total of 50 races and each of them at least once.

Step 3: Patrol / Mop up
You should have earned most of achievements. Use this mode to collect the missing achievements.







Progress – 25
Achieve 25 % game progress.

See Supercop


A Fast Career - 50
Achieve 50 % game progress.

Becoming a Legend - 75
Achieve 75 % game progress.

See Supercop


Supercop - 100
Achieve 100 % game progress.

You will have to complete all 36 cases in career mode. New missions will be unlocked automatically when accomplishing already unlocked missions. The mission "The Party" will be unlocked by collecting all cars for Ben undercover.
This achievement is missable! See Step 1 above for more details.


Clean Lap - 25
Drive a whole lap without causing any damage.

If you're having problems getting this in story mode, you can also get it in a single race.


Driving on Eggshells - 75
Win a race without causing damage.

If you're having problems getting this in story mode, you can also get it in a single race.


Race King - 50
Race 30 Laps on the Autobahn Cobra-11-Circuit.

See Offroad King


Offroad King - 50
Race 30 Laps on the Autobahn 4x4-Club-Circuit.

Go to single race, set the number of laps to 30 and start it. Once your opponent completes his race, the achievement will pop up, even if you didn't drive one lap.

[DaReAlT83]

Amateur - 50
Win 10 single races.

See Pro


Pro - 100
Win 50 single races.

The easiest way to get this is to set damage and traffic off, number of laps and opponents to 1 and difficulty to easy. It's not hard, it's only time-consuming.


Test Drive - 30
Take every car out for a test drive.

You will unlock all cars during story mode. I highly suggest to combine this achievement with the Pro-achievement! It seems that driving patrol doesn't count as a test drive.
This achievement is missable! See Step 1 above for more details.


Track Tester - 30
Drive on every track available in single player mode.

You will unlock all tracks during story mode. You don't have to win, but it's suggestive for the Pro-achievement.


A Long Way - 30
Drive uninterrupted on patrol for 30 minutes.

While on patrol, park your car in a corner and wait for 30 minutes.


Into the Past - 8
Drive backwards for 200 m.

Press to drive backwards and the achievement will pop up.


Change of Scene - 20
Change the scenario 10 times.

In patrol mode, drive to any change point on the map. Do this 10 times.


A Matter of Speed - 15
Drive at 280 kph for 15 seconds.

Easiest done in single race on the track "Endless Autobahn". Switch traffic off and use your nitro booster.


Long Jump - 50
Jump over a distance of at least 100 m.

The only way to get this is in the case "Ben undercover". Just jump the ramp on the rooftop and don't forget your nitro booster. If it doesn't unlock in your first try, go back to this mission later with a faster car.


Junk - 15
Turn your car into scrap metal.

Crash your car until it's damaged completely.


The Two-Wheeler - 10
Skillfully remove at least 2 wheels.

Good chance to get this is in the case "Ben undercover" when you jump the ramp on the rooftop without using nitro.

[DaReAlT83]

Swashbuckler - 10
Destroy 10 opponents.

You have to destroy 10 opponents by crashing. Shooting does not count. A mission where you have to crash your opponent is "Guests of the State".


Road Rage - 20
Make 100 vehicles explode.

Take a robust and also fast car like the Aligator and crash into the traffic. Depending on your speed you will blast up to 12 vehicles in one "life". Don't forget to use your nitro.


The Bomb - 15
Destroy 1,000 objects.

Destroy everything you can: traffic signs, bus stops, fences...


Close Encounters - 15
Crash into traffic 100 times.

Crash the traffic 100 times. Your current status is displayed in the statistics-menu.


Garage Owner - 20
Unlock all cars.

You will unlock all cars during story mode.

Got it! - 20

All single race tracks will be unlocked during story mode.


Discount Tickets Collector - 30
Collect 1,000,000 discount tickets.

At some point solving the cases your boss will instruct you to collect the photos from the speed cameras throughout the city. Each camera brings 20,000 tickets and there are 13 of them to reach. To play this mission again, start patrol at Precinct SY-CO 11. Your current status can be seen in the statistics.


Secret Achievements

Kilometer Hunter - 50
Drive 1,000 kilometers.

Just play the game, you won't miss it. Your current status can be seen in the statistics.


The Grouch - 3
You honked your horn 1 time.

Press .


A Leading Light - 3
Police light successfully tested!

Press .


Acknowledgements - 6
View 'Credits' to the end.

Credits will be available in the start menu, where you choose to load or to start a new game. They won't appear after the last mission as in other games.




Congratulations, you achieved 1000

[DaReAlT83]

Edit on 01-21-2010: Updated the guide regarding the problem with missable achievements. Also added a way to prevent this with detailed description in Step 1.

Thanks to AntiVirus GER giving me the tip for Race King and Offroad King.


Please feel free for any kind of comments.

[Thorpe]

The Party IS included on the cases list, it is in Tag 6, once you've got all the cars. Also, 'missable' achievements are not-so missable, since they can easily be gotten after career. Missable in my mind would be where you are unable to go back and do it, without starting a new save.

Skilfully removing two wheels really doesn't need to be aimed for. Like the previous games, you simply do a high-speed crash and most likely it will pop up. Also, you CANNOT use another car to the the 100m jump on Ben undercover case - it lets you choose a car but it changes back to the default car in the case.

I am liking this set of achievements this time round.

[uglybean]

hi guys
I have problem to get "Test Drive" achievement.
I have access to all cars and 28 achievements (all without "test drive" and "Swashbuckler")
but ... in "Patrol" mode I have only 42 cars, in the "single race" - 46.
I drove each car (take a few kilometers in "patrol" in "city" or played in "single race") and
achievement did not hit ;-/ what`s wrong with this ? ;-(


btw. could you tell me guys, where I can get "Swashbuckler" except "Guests of the State" ?

thanks for help and sorry for my english :P

I guess you have to finish a single race with each car, but I'm not sure. At least this was the way I got it, because I combined it with the Pro-achievement. Maybe it also counts if you solve a case. Can anyone confirm this?

[uglybean]

you right.
you need to take a single race with each car (its not necessary to win) to get "Test Drive"

[DaReAlT83]

Sorry, didn't notice your reply until now.

"The Party" and its 3 associated achievements are definitely missable. This case only appears in the cases list if you do it before you complete all other cases. For example if you end it while your progress is on day 3, it will added to day 3. Therefore, you have completed it on day 6.

If you save "Ben undercover" to the end, "The Party" will not added to the cases and you will only have one single chance to get it. This was also confirmed by the developer in the official German forum.

So my advice is to go on the list of Ben undercover as soon as you are able to, iirc it's after the correspondent case "Ben undercover" on day 1.

[Damnation]

Thanks for the guide
I was wondering if anyone can help me please. I have finished the game and did the Ben Undercover mission(like get all the cars on the list, just waiting at the big roundabout for them to show up was wonderful) and I have done The Party mission. The game says 100 percent, all missions finished, and all locations....But I missing one car called the Pacemaker In the Cobra Special group.
Anyone know something

[DaReAlT83]

Did you already the achievement "Discount Tickets Collector"? I'm not sure, but it's possible to unlock the Pacemaker by doing this achievement because you drive it in this mission.

Otherwise, some german forums say that you have to pass the stuntshows (can't remember I would have done any of them) after the main game to unlock the Pacemaker Turbo.

If this doesn't help, I would presume you will unlock the Pacemaker by going for all other achievements at first.

[Damnation]

Thanks for your help and a quick reply and no bud I don't have that ticket one. I was playing the game with no sound so people could watch the other TV and I don't know what mission it was to get the tickets. I was more worried about missing a car than tackling that one, but your answer has given me hope that I don't have to play the whole thing again not that I didn't like it, I quite enjoyed it, there's far worse.

[DaReAlT83]

Start Patrol Mode at Precinct SY-CO 11 and play it again and again until you get the achievement. Try also to pass this mission at least once with all its 14 cameras, maybe you get the Pacemaker after that.
As I said: I'm not sure if this will work but it's worth a try.

[Thorpe]

Ah, I didn't know that regarding the party. I'm glad I played it right away because I really wouldn't have wanted to start over.

Crash Time III is also set to come to the UK on the 26th. Andreas I have informed and he has updated the Synetic website with these details.

[The Dauntless]

Do you have to get FIVE STARS on each mission to get the 100% or do you just need to finsih the mission????

Crap I just realised I left the difficulty set to Hard since the 2nd mission. No wonder getting those 5 stars was annoying. Any way the quesation stands can I get 100% with less than 5 stars.

THANKS

It doesn't matter.

[Rocha12]

Thanks for the guide!
I completed the game and had the same problem as Damnation (missing one car called the Pacemaker In the Cobra Special group), doing "Precinct SY-CO 11" worked to unlock the car, but I didn't get the "Garage Owner" chieve despite having 46/46 vehicles.
I'm going to work on "Test Drive" and see if that will unlock it as well, has anyone else had this problem?

-edit-
I just got "Test Drive" but still no "Garage Owner" so it maybe slightly glitched...
-2nd edit-
I replayed "The Party" to work on destroying 10 opponents, and "Garage Owner" unlocked when I finished the mission. So if anyone else runs into the same issue, give that a try.

[Yova]

I think "The Party" pops up quickly if you patrol the harbour

[Ooyah]

Just thought that I would mention, in relation to the car list... another good way of getting the cars is to go in and out of the scenario change points. Very often the game will present you right away with a car, or you will see a yellow marker cruise past you. Seems that the game likes to try and give you something interesting when you change the scenario. So just choose one, and go in and out until something catches your eye. It worked for me, got them all in about an hour and a half. Not sure if that is quicker than can be expected with the round about method, though.

Hey dude i finished the game last nite all 36 missions + bens undercover....i went to the main menu then clicked QUIT the credits option was still there, u might need to edit your guide as this was definatly available after the last mission, maybe put it in ur road map to do this 1st anyways

For swash buckler...just drive round in patrol mode in a non police car! and drive towards a Red triangle icon which is listed as an opponent in the road map legend, find one that says "Pursuit" then just smash into them until they have 100% damage, just make sure you dont stop them by shooting or blocking them.

For Ben's undercover car list, do them same as the above as the RED opponent icon will sumtimes be a car u need on the list.

The opponents consist of Pursuit, Race, Shadowing & Smuggerlers list car (bens undercover)

Sorry, my description is a litte unclear. I meant "They won't appear automatically after the last mission as in other games."

I will update the guide in the next days and also add the descriptions by skitz79 and ScottCorno1987.
