New Modes: Drift Attack & Smash and Grab

Drift attack is a game mode similar to the drift events in older NFS games. SP is earned for performing drifts down a short track. There are also gates at each checkpoint that will earn extra points for drifting through them. Hitting the wall during a drift will cause you to lose the SP for that drift. Beat the target SP score to win gold.

In Smash and Grab, there are a series of markers in an area and the goal is to smash as many as you can within the time limit. You only need around 2/3rds of them to earn the gold medal in any of these. There are smaller markers worth 50 points scattered all around, and billboards are worth 250 points.

See 'Velocity: First Class'.

Finish first in every race in the Terminal Velocity Pack (Single Player)

 

There are 5 cars in the Terminal Velocity DLC, and each car has 8 events to complete for a total of 40 events. Beat the gold medal score for all these events to unlock this achievement. 'Terminal 5' will also be unlocked as soon as you've used each car.

 

These are the cars:

 

  • BMW 1M 2012
  • Audi RS3 2012
  • Ford Fiesta ST 2012
  • Alfa Romeo Mito 2012
  • Most Wanted Porsche 918 Spyder 2013

The first 4 cars are available as soon as the DLC is purchased. The Porsche 918 Spyder is earned by winning the new 918 Spyder Most Wanted event.

Unlock either Jump Nitrous PRO or Drift Tires PRO (Multi)

 

Jump Nitrous: Smash 20 billboards.

Jump Nitrous PRO: Smash 50 billboards with Jump Nitrous during SpeedLists.

 

Drift Tires: Record a 200 yards Drift 20 times.

Drift Tires PRO: Record a 1000 yards Drift 80 times with Drift Tires during SpeedLists.

 

The base version of each mod can be unlocked in a private multiplayer game by yourself. The PRO version of each mod will require at least one other person in a Friends or Public game with a SpeedList active. It's easier to do in a Friend game, where you can invite a player, start a SpeedList, and focus on earning the mods and ignore the objective.

 

The new Airport area is an ideal place to earn either of these mods. There are big open spaces to drift, and a high amount of billboards in a condensed area.

 

Find players in the Achievement Trading Thread.

Unlocking the Mods

Ram Chassis: Drive 10 miles in Oncoming.

Drift Tires: Record a 200 yards Drift 20 times.

Jump Nitrous: Smash 20 billboards.

 

All 3 mods can be unlocked in a private multiplayer game by yourself. Repeat the requirements on each of the 5 cars until you've unlocked all 3 mods on all 5 cars. The achievement should then unlock. However, this achievement is a bit glitchy. Once you've earned all the mods, choose a different car, and unlock a mod on that car to get it to unlock. Try choosing a car you haven't used yet and just do the 'Drive 5 miles' milestone.

 

See the thread discussing the glitch HERE.

 

Unlocking the cars for Multiplayer

The Ford Fiesta ST is immediately available, and the other 4 cars are unlocked by completing 24 SpeedList events in Everyday class cars. Every 6 events completed will unlock a car from the pack. Winning is not required, and can be done in public or private games.

 

If you're doing it in a Friend game, a quick method is to create a custom SpeedList and selecting the "Arch Angels" challenge 5 times. It's a Park Up event, and it takes place the same place as the meetup. Because of this, you can sit in one spot the entire SpeedList and complete all 5 events without any effort. The event takes about 30 seconds each time.

Finish first in every race in the Movie Legends Pack (Single Player)

 

There are 5 cars in the Movie Legends Pack, and each car has 6 events. Beat the gold medal score for all these events to unlock this achievement.

 

If you also have the Terminal Velocity Pack, you'll see 2 extra events (a Drift Attack and Smash & Grab event) which are not required for this achievement.

 

These are the cars:

 

  • Aston Martin DBS 2008
  • Aston Martin DB5
  • Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am Special Edition 1977
  • Dodge Charger R/T 1970
  • Shelby GT500 1967

The first 4 cars are available as soon as you've purchased the DLC. The Shelby GT500 is earned by winning the new Shelby GT500 Most Wanted event.

Escape the cops in the Shelby GT500™ (Single Player)

 

First, you'll have to win the new Most Wanted event and take down the Shelby GT500 to earn the car. Once you've done that, all 3 Jack Spots will be unlocked and you can jump to them from the Easy Drive menu. The event is available as soon as you've purchased the DLC.

 

Once you're in the Shelby GT500, find a cop, indicated by a blue arrow on the mini-map. Get some speed, and go for a takedown. Doing this starts a pursuit and disables the cop at the same time. Any other cops will usually spawn behind you, outside of the pursuit radius, so you can just drive away as fast as you can and end the pursuit almost immediately.

Get 5 Slam Takedowns while driving with the 'Movie Fan' License Plate (Multiplayer)

 

Unlocking the License Plate

The 'Movie Fan' license plate is earned by unlocking all the basic mods for each of the Movie Legend vehicles, excluding the 3 new mods (Ram Chassis, Drift Tires, Jump Nitrous).

 

This can be a bit of a grind because it involves driving 200 miles in each car. All mods can be unlocked in a private multiplayer game by yourself, with the exception of Impact Protection, which requires 10 takedowns.

 

An easy method for accumulating 200 miles is to drive off a cliff. In some areas, your car respawns facing the cliff and cause you to roll off the cliff repeatedly, allowing you to increase driving distance while you're away from the game. Rubber banding the controller isn't required, but can make it slightly faster. It takes about 4 hours to accumulate 200 miles this way.

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4GcGK5MajY]Drive 200 Miles[/ame]

 

Keep in mind that the game rarely auto-saves while playing a multiplayer game on your own. Be sure to quit to single player and wait to see the auto-save icon before you turn off your console so progress won't be lost.

 

Once the 'Movie Fan' plate is unlocked, equip it and score 5 slam takedowns. A slam takedown is when you hit another player and cause them to wreck into a wall or other object. Do this 5 times to unlock the achievement.

 

This achievement is a bit glitchy and doesn't unlock after scoring 5 slam takedowns. I'm not sure of the specifics, but what's working for most people is using the Shelby GT500 and scoring 5 slam takedowns in a row without wrecking.

 

Unlocking the cars for Multiplayer

 

  • Aston Martin DB5 - Available from start
  • Dodge Charger R/T - Complete 6 SpeedList events in the DB5
  • Pontiac Firebird - Complete 6 SpeedList events in the Charger
  • Aston Martin DBS - Complete 6 SpeedList events in the Firebird
  • Shelby GT500 - Complete 6 SpeedList events in the DBS

Aston Martin DB5 is immediately available, and the other 4 cars are unlocked by completing 6 SpeedList events using the previously unlocked car. Winning is not required, and can be done in public or private games.

 

If you're doing it in a Friend game, a quick method is to create a custom Speedlist and selecting the "Arch Angels" challenge 5 times. It's a Park Up event, and it takes place the same place as the meetup. Because of this, you can sit in one spot the entire Speedlist and complete all 5 events without any effort. The event takes about 30 seconds each time.

There are 5 cars and 6 events for each car in the NFS Heroes Pack. You need to beat the gold medal score for all these events to unlock the achievement.

 

Note that the two events for each car from the Terminal Velocity pack do not need to be completed to unlock this achievement, regardless of whether or not you bought it. The Terminal Velocity events are the ones marked by a red wing icon and unlock the Jump Nitrous/Drift Tire mods.

 

The Jack Spots are unlocked as soon as you've purchased the pack, and are indicated by a red NFS logo. The cars in the pack are as follows:

 

  • Lamborghini Diablo SV
  • Nissan Skyline GT-R

The requirements for each of the 'Under' license plates are as follows:

  • Under Attack - Complete a speed test in the 350Z without being eliminated.
  • Under My Thumb - Eliminate at least 2 opponents in a speed test in the R34 Skyline.
  • Under Your Skin - Takedown the same player 5 times in a row in the R34 Skyline.
  • Under The Influence - Drive on rims for a mile during speedlists in the R34 Skyline.

Most of these can be done fairly easily in public games. If you're having trouble, or want it done faster, these can also be done in Friend games. Post in the Achievement Trading Thread with your Gamertag and what you want to do.

 

The 350Z is available from the start, and the Skyline is unlocked after completing 6 SpeedList events. Foley Street Car Park is located here:

I think I'm mostly done. Roadmaps could use some more meat but I don't know what I can say that hasn't already been said from the main game and previous DLC. Copied from WordPad so there were a lot of blanks to fill like bolding and links. Hopefully I didn't miss anything. I'm tired now. Can I have a nap?

 

Comments? Questions? Suggestions? I appreciate them.

For Movies: Fan Friction, Use the Shelby GT500.

 

I got at least 8 Slam Takedowns with the Dodge Charger and no achievement (one of my mods only had 12/20 Slam Takedowns for pro version, and I got the pro mod while working for this).

 

I switched to the Shelby GT500 as a post on TA suggested, and the achievement popped after 5 against a friend in a private game who was also in the Shelby. He had not unlocked the license plate as of yet. We guessed it might have to be done against another Movie Legends car

That's funny cos it wasn't working for me in the Aston Martin DBS, then I changed to the BMW from the Heroes pack and it worked. :confused:

These achievements in these packs...

Anyway, did you need to get 5 Slams in the BMW?

 

I'm starting to wonder if the real way to unlock this is get 5 Slam takedowns with the Movie Fan license plate with two different cars. I'm going to wait for a friend to finish his 1,000 yard movie car grind and try this with the Shelby. We'll see what happens.

Yeah I'm not sure, I think it was 5 again.

 

I imagine this is the end of Most Wanted DLC. Here's hoping Criterion's next game has simpler achievements that don't require an endless grind! I don't mind getting 5 slams with a license plate, but to get there is so much harder than it sounds in the description!

They could've at least used the full 750GS. So much grinding for a couple of 20GS achievements D:

I got the movie fan achievement yesterday. I had the license plate equipped (obviously) and used the Dodge Charger and got 5 takedowns (just regular takedowns, not even slam ones) on a friend who was in the BMW M1.

 

This achievement is definitely glitchy.

For anyone who is finding the movie fan friction achievement glitchy make your lobby 'invite only', in other words not available to the public.

 

After performing over 50 what i am sure were positive slam takedowns, me and my boosting partner did this and it worked perfectly. Achievement popped straight away after 5 takedowns. We both used the Shelby just to be safe so not sure if the car you use does actually have anything to do with it?
