Xbox360Achievements.org - Every Point Counts
You will be directed by your friendly DJ to repair your car once you leave the junk yard for the first time. Drive through any repair shop and the achievement will unlock.
Drive to Watt St just off to the right of where you first start the game set a road rule time by pressing 
until offline time pops up. Drive to the start of the street, and drive at full speed using boost. Beat the 5.8 second road rule time and become a winner.
Drive to Crawford Drive which is located north of the city just up from where you first start. Press up until the offline showtime shows just under you compass. I suggest picking a stunt car to have more boost, hit 
& 
together to enter showtime. You need to beat 1.5 Million to rule the road keep an eye out for buses, road signs, and aim for as many cars as you can. Every bus you hit will earn you a 1x multiplayer on your score.
Winning your first race will come with natural progression. Drive to any blue dot on the map and compete in the race. To start a race drive up to the junction with the race, and hit 
& 
.
Smash though 5 billboards, it does not matter which one's you choose to earn this achievement.
Similar to the billboard collectibles but these are yellow gates which fence off shortcuts. Just smash though 25 of these and your first achievement for the smashes will unlock. Just remember once you go though one gate follow the path to the other side as there is always a 2nd gate to smash though.
Complete xx events marked as different coloured dots on the map. See "Elite" for further details.
Start your first takedown event drive at a fair pace, but keep your eye on all the other cars, and slowly make your way around the roads and nudge off the other cars.
While taking part in a road rage event allow your car to become damaged until "critical damage" pops up on the screen. Once this happens make your way to a repair shop and fix your car.
Pick a stunt car and head over to the quarry. You can find the quarry located at the left side of the lake just up the road from a sharp hairpin road, and roughly half way down the lake. To pull off a flat spin, head to the quarry and hit the ramp and press 
and pull the 
sharply to the left or right to pull off a flatspin.
Complete xx events marked as different coloured dots on the map. See "Elite" for further details.
Superjumps are marked with blue cones, just land 5 of these and the achievement will unlock.
Pick a car which has a fair amount of strength, and make your way from start to finish without being taken down by other cars. If you have unlocked the 4x4 or the Inferno BRT Van this achievement will be fairly easy, as they are strong vehicles. If not, make sure you turn out of your skids if your hit, and make it to the finish line.
To earn a 10x multiplier, you need to hit 10 buses while making your way around the map hitting cars. I have found that Crawford drive tends to spawn the most buses, and can net you a 10x multiplier without to many issues just keep going until you hit 10x.
Join a takedown event and get 10 takedowns in a row. This will be tricky for some, but if you have the 4x4 you will do this without any problems as cars bounce off you fairly easy, so you don't need to worry about crashing, just make sure you don't get taken down.
Complete xx events marked as different coloured dots on the map. See "Elite" for further details.
Power park your car at 100%, this is a lot easier than it sounds.This involves you finding 2 parked cars with a gap in the middle which you can drive up to with some speed. Hit to pull off an E brake turn and slide into the space.
An alternative method is drive to the Dam, which is located in the middle of the map, and power park between 2 parked cars.There is a wall located there which will line you up perfectly, you will get almost 100% every single time you park.
Head to the quarry located next to the dam, and locate a ramp at the top of the quarry with a mini slip ramp. Use a stunt car, and the line up and hit the gas to pull off a barrel roll. To pull a double barrel roll hold the towards the way you are spinning, once you land the achievement will unlock.
Using the same technique as described in "Millionaire's Club" achievement, you should be able to reach a x20 burnout while driving around the I-88. In the following video you can see I started a stunt run and then chained burnouts around the freeway into oncoming traffic. The only reason for using a stunt run is so there is a reduced amount of traffic.
Complete xx events marked as different coloured dots on the map. See "Elite" for further details.
There are a couple of ways to do this, but I found it easier to find a route close to the I-88 off ramp, and use a speed car (Fastback Special), and pulled off a burnout chain around the freeway until I hit 1 million points. An alternative method can be found here:
Take part in any event or online freeburn, and take down the other players or AI cars.You just need a total of 500 takedowns which can be accumulated by either playing on or offline . Just keep taking other players down, and the achievement will unlock.
Complete xx events to unlock this license, see "Elite" for more information.
Burning routes correspond to certain cars which you will earn through completing events and other things. There are a total of 35 burning routes, and you must complete all burning routes with all 35 burning route cars. Look at the burning route on the map to find out what car you need, choose that car and pull up to the event and hit & to start the race.
Events are located at every single junction on each road. If there are a set of lights there will normally be an event, there are a few events located on the I-88. Drive up to the junctions and the event will be added to your map, find all of these and the achievement will unlock.
Find all the car parks in paradise there are a total of 11 car parks around the city. Just drive into each carpark to add them to you discovered locations.
There are 120 billboards around the city in some really difficult places, I suggest using a faster stunt car or the vegas as it has a decent air time.
Smash though all the yellow signed gates, there are 400 gates dotted around the city. If you find one gate follow through the pathway as there is always a 2nd gate on the other side.
Superjumps are marked with blue cones and lights (as of 1.6 update+). Basically find all the jumps and air over each jump and land them.
To do this you may want to use a faster car I used one of the carbon cars awarded for completing all of the smashes and finding all of the billboards. You can hit and change the signs to best offline time then race down each street. This may take a little while and some of the streets have very short times to beat, but with a little practice you should be able to complete this in no time.
Drive down any road and hit + together to enter showtime. You must beat the showtime score on that road to rule the road. Keep track of all the roads you have completed a showtime on from your map, by hitting back and changing the options to show showtime.
Drive thrus show up as a a tab icon for either a gas station, junk yard, paint shop and repair shop. You don't need to use these locations just drive past them so they show up on your map.
This will come with progression throughout the game. Basically you need to complete all the events on the map. I have found it best to make your way through the game and save the burning routes until your last license. As it gives you more events to take part in towards your license.
Just play an online race, you don't have to win just take part in it.
This is a little tricky seeing as if your not very good at races this may take some practice, you need 7 people for this event. If your playing with random people ask the host if they mind setting up a race so you can try and win first place, and just race until you win. Or play with friends, and complete the race with them allowing you to win. The achievement will pop up after the event has finished.
This can be done while working towards "Online and Kicking", if your doing this with a friend just win all the races you setup, and after you win 10 races you will be rewarded.
Completing events involves you taking part in marked man, races & road rage. This achievement doesn't unlock at 20 events but more like 22 or more. If you want to get this fast set up a private session with a friend with short races, and other events until the achievement unlocks. I have had issues where it hasn't registered the event I took part in so just keep at it until it unlocks.
To make an online rival you need to crash into another player which will start a rivalry with them. Sometimes this doesn't always set off a rival with another player so it takes a few goes, but you have to do this with 50 different players. Just keep crashing into players until it unlocks, you can keep track of your progress from the start menu.
Once you make your first online rival with a takedown this will unlock. Just find another player and crash into them. Once you take them out the achievement will unlock.
If this doesn't unlock crash into someone who has a vision camera, you can check this info by pressing start and going to show players. Crash into someone with a camera and as soon as the camera takes the picture and sends the photo to you the achievement will unlock.
For these camera achievements you need the vision camera hardware. If you do not have the camera hardware you will not be able to obtain these achievements.
Once your camera is setup and ready to go join any online freeburn and take part in any events or takeout other players until your camera has taken and send the required amount of photos. Just leave the camera plugged in while your playing online and you should have these achievements in no time. Photos are sent when you either beat a road rule, perform a takedown or win an event.
- 20 freeburn mugshots (done in freeburn)
- 20 photo finishes (1 photo finish after each race)
- 10 event mugshots (takedowns during races)
Complete your first online challenge, see "block Party"
Complete 250 online challenge, see "block Party"
If you are hosting you can pick your challenges by hitting 
and selecting challenges. Scroll tough the challenges and complete 2 whole tiers which will result in 100 challenges, there are 50 challenges per tier and 10 challenges per timed tier. There around 490 challenges in the game which range from 2 players all the way up to 8 timed and none timed. As you work your way though the lists either randomly or with friends just keep completing challenges until you have completed all enough for each achievement.
This can be tricky as a lot of 8 player games end with some users randomly leaving which makes it hard to maintain your leading streak on the daily scores. If you can find 7 other people you will be able to do this fairly fast by telling them to stay still while you complete 6 of the events and get the top score. If you can't find friends to play just join random games and keep trying for the top scores.
Avoid challenges while trying to collect this achievement as it may not unlock.
Once you setup a party game you only need one controller, basically setup a party game and make sure you score points every round. Shouldn't be to hard seeing as you will be playing as each person.
Setup a game with 8 players and 8 rounds and play until you have fully completed all rounds. Again shouldn't be to hard as you will be playing as all players so you won't have to worry about your friends making mistakes.
Just play on the cops team and the achievement will unlock once your team wins. Can Be done with a friend.
Same as the cops achievement but playing on the robbers team.
Either start up or join a game of cops and robbers and play until you capture the gold. You must be the person to return the gold to your teams base to unlock the achievement. It doesn't matter which team your on just as long as you deliver at least once. This could be done with a friend without to many issues as your required to have at least 2 people playing.
Smash through 20 gates, just remember once you hit through one gate another gate normally follows as you drive through.
Find 15 billboards and smash through them. You can't miss them as they are a bright orange and yellow colour. Collect 15 of these and the achievement will unlock.
Events can be found on road junctions, drive up to them to discover them. Just drive around each road until they have all been marked on your map. If you see a road junction without a coloured dot drive up to it to mark the event on the map.
Hit the mega ski jump with the dune buggy while boosting, you should be able to get this first try with a respectable 4.8 second airtime.
To locate the ski jump head south on the island toward a hairpin road. You will see a tunnel in front of you at the top of the road with a dirt road on your right side. Drive up the dirt road and follow it around until you come to the ski jump.
Join in on a freeburn and complete 10 challenges, this will take no time if you have a friend to play with. Start an online freeburn and hit and select challenges while on the island.
