Hey there gamers! Are you struggling to unlock all the achievements in Gas Guzzlers Extreme, including the 15 from the Full Metal Zombie DLC? Well, fear not, because I’ve got you covered. As someone who has already obtained all 90 base game achievements plus the 15 DLC ones, I’m here to share with you exactly how to unlock them all on Xbox and PlayStation. Let’s get those achievements!
Introduction + Revision History
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2915859952
After reading the above guide, come back here for tips on how to earn every achievement in the game. There’s a total of 105 you can get, with 90 in the base game and 15 in the Full Metal Zombie DLC. the majority of these achievements are simple to get, with a small handful of difficult ones. If you want to get the full 105, then you better read this guide closely.
Remember, you’ll also have to jump into Multiplayer to get some of these as well. Fortunately, you can grind all of them out with bots so friends aren’t really a necessity unless you’re having trouble with one particular achievement. Nothing impossible, literally, just some tough ones you’ll end up doing and don’t exactly tell you straight-up in their descriptions.
Without any further delays, let’s get on with it.

Impossible Difficulty Disclaimer
Impossible difficulty is extremely hard, as not only do the AI have insane rubberbanding, but they also have increased firepower which makes your car last for not as long against a shotgun up close, which can kill you in very few hits. But don’t worry, there’s no ‘one shot, one kill’ mechanics on Impossible difficulty at all whatsoever. The only mode you’ll actually need to watch out for that is Deathmatch mode’s Mine power, while it does a fair bit of damage to you in other modes. Even so, it is still a tough difficulty to deal with when going for these achievements and you may end up not finishing in the Top 3 for any tracks you’re likely struggling on against the spiteful bots who do what they can to bring you down.
Also, please do not tell me to make a guide on how to get through every track on Impossible difficulty with a specific car. There are some videos out there that show that and this is for achievements only, so I apologize for not taking up that idea. The best advice I can give you is to get used to using the handbrake in turns, use nitro to keep your speed up, stay out of enemy fire even if it means losing positions, use powerups efficiently and effectively, know where the nitro powerups are, know the tracks and arenas, purchase higher performing cars while selling slower ones, use your main weapons whenever possible, and finally be prepared to lose, spin out, and die… a lot.

<Picture(s) of achievements>
Trophy: Either Bronze, Silver, or Gold (PlayStation 4 only)
Gamerscore: 5-100G (Xbox One only)
Unlock Ratio: How much of the community on Steam have this achievement, based on percentage
Description: Self-explanatory, will refine it a bit if any typos exist
Difficulty: Rating ranged from Very Easy to Insane, based on my experience
How to Get: Me explaining how to get the achievement, other factors, and so on
In case you wonder about the Trophy and Gamerscore parts, those are only for a small selection of achievements that are part of those version’s lists. With that said, only 37 achievements (38 on PlayStation 4) have been chosen for the Xbox and PlayStation achievement/trophy list. Fortunately, none of them require Impossible difficulty so you won’t have to worry about that.
Also the ordering of this achievement list will not be 100% accurate to the original listing, so these will kinda be out of order.
Campaign/Single Player Achievements
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 87.7%
Description: Create your profile
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to Get: Self-explanatory. Will unlock once you create your profile the very first time you boot up the game. Basically a freebie.
Hen house star, Delivery boy, and I am da BEST!
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G, 20G, and 30G
Unlock Ratio: 18.3%, 9.6%, and 6.0%
Description: Complete first, second, and third tournament in singleplayer mode
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: These shouldn’t be hard at all, you just need to make sure you win in all three cups for each of these achievements. Can be done on any difficulty.
Chicken owner, It’s bigger than it looks!, and My guns better than yours
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 14.5%, 8.2%, and 5.7%
Description: Complete first, second, and third tournament in singleplayer with best kill score
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: To ensure that you get this, play through the races and try to get as many kills as possible before qualifying for the Tournaments on each cup. Stick with the regular Pump Daddy shotgun for the Fenderbender Cup, as single direction weapons deal a bit more damage than dual directional weapons. Use St. Cluster for the Hazard Junkies and Gas Guzzlers Cup and just spam it close to the other drivers while making sure you don’t blow yourself up.
Brand new
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Unlock Ratio: 2.6%
Description: Complete a single race in any racing game mode without being damaged
Difficulty: Medium
How to Get: It appears that this one does not unlock in the Quick Race mode, so trying to get this in Campaign is your best choice. This achievement can be a bit tricky to get because it is not difficult to get damaged yourself. I advise a more open track like Mud Spring or Badwater and doing this in Power Race. Avoid any physical contact with walls or other racers and don’t drive into any blue barrels. Destroying scenery and red barrels is fine, but if you happen to drive into an oil slick, make sure you steer carefully to avoid any collisions.
Slayer
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 13.8%
Description: Win deathmatch game in singleplayer
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: In Campaign mode, Deathmatches can be played in two different ways…
1. Through Sponsor Events which usually have a random choice of modes unlocked after winning races, or
2. Reaching the Gas Guzzlers Cup, which unlocks Deathmatch for the tournament.
Now all you have to do is win the game mode. Mines in this are instant kills so be sure to keep that in mind. You just need to get 10 kills first before anyone else to win. I dunno if you can do this in the Quick Race mode, I might need confirmation on that in the comments.
Kill/Weapon Achievements
Trophy: Bronze (25 and 100 kill achievements), N/A for 50 and 200
Gamerscore: 20G (25 kills), 50G (100 kills), N/A for 50 and 200
Unlock Ratio: 28.3%, 20.3%, 12.9%, and 7.4%
Description: Kill 25, 50, 100, and 200 opponents in total
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: You’ll earn these naturally if you just keep on laying down the hurt. These are cumulative across all modes, hence the ‘in total’ part, so keep on killing as much as possible!
Clay pigeon shooting, Spray’n’pray, Fire works, Surprise package, and Science shock
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 52.9%, 46.0%, 47.7%, 18.1%, and 7.3%
Description: Kill opponent with any shotgun, minigun, rocket launcher, grenades, and a railgun
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: More easy ones! This time, you need to get a kill for each weapon type. Here’s all the weapon types you can use in the game:
-Shotguns: Pump Daddy and Double Trouble
-Miniguns: Maschinengewehr, The Spindoc, and Gang Banger
-Rockets: Intruder, Katyusha, and Piglet
-Grenades: St. Cluster and Party Pooper
-Laser: Gun on Rails
As long as you get a kill for each weapon type, you’ll get these five.
Shotgun wedding, Come get some, Mushroom Mayhem, Master blaster, and Science therapy
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Unlock Ratio: 25.6%, 24.3%, 19.2%, 7.9%, and 2.6%
Description: Kill 10 opponents with a shotgun, minigun, rocket launcher, grenades, and a railgun
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Same deal as the five ones above, but you need to kill 10 opponents this time. I suggest working on one weapon type individually. Once your 10th kill is made for one weapon type, one of these will unlock. Same thing with the others.
Seriously?!
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 4.7%
Description: Get a kill in either Classic or Power Race
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to Get: This can be a bit difficult to get because it requires the aforementioned modes to do. Online Multiplayer is the easier method, just keep ramming your friend and kill them that way. If you’re going for single player, do Power Race and just keep targeting one bot. Keep wailing on him, hit him with Mines, but it becomes a pain when they get a health pickup. Hopefully this won’t be too much trouble.
Body smash! and Butcher
Trophy: N/A (Body smash!), Bronze (Butcher)
Gamerscore: N/A (Body smash!), 20G (Butcher)
Unlock Ratio: 49.0% and 16.2%
Description: Kill the opponent by crashing into them in any game mode / Smash 10 opponents in any game event
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: A Smash kill is where you ram into the other opponents as the finishing blow to confirm a kill. Just make sure your opponents have a low enough health gauge to where it’ll be enough for a Smash kill. Hitting them into the doors head-on deals the best damage. The 10 Smash kills achievement is cumulative just like the 10 weapon kill ones above.
Fresh meat and Untouchable
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 31.9% and 20.5%
Description: Get first kill in deathmatch mode either in singleplayer or multiplayer / Kill 5 opponents without dying in the singleplayer or multiplayer deathmatch mode
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: Trying to get a first kill isn’t too hard, you just need to make sure that you’re the first one who gets the kill. Getting 5 in a row without dying isn’t difficult, as killing people in Deathmatch is easier than Last Man Standing. Just be careful, don’t drive into any mines including your own ones, and try shooting from far distances to be safe. If you can find the Piglet weapon, you can get insta-kills as long as you know how to aim.
Multiplayer Achievements 1/2
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 6.5% and 3.5%
Description: Use Smokes to blind at least 5/10 opponents in a single Multiplayer event.
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Not hard at all, you can even use Smokes against bots and it’ll still work. All you need to do is unload it in places where you know the bots/other players will drive in. Playing on a narrow track such as Krapina/Balcanica Challenge or Forrest Gimp Autorenn/Knodelfurt Pokal will further ensure that the bots will drive into the gas you left behind.
Party fever, Brutal power, and Duke of hazzard
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 13.3%, 3,5%, and 2.1%
Description: Win 1, 10, and 30 events of any game type in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Set the bots difficulty to Beginner so that they’re slow, set the laps to 1, and keep on getting first place on the same track, like Buttzville. This shouldn’t take you very long to get these, just keep at it. Number of bots do not matter.
Noob and Thats unfair :'(
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 6.5% and 12.7%
Description: Finish first lap in last place and keep last place for the whole event in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to Get: All you have to do is set the lap counter to 2 at the minimum, bots difficulty on Impossible, any track that’s preferably a short one, and just stay in last place for the whole entirety of the race. Simple.
Gotta use them all!
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 20.7%
Description: Use 5 different weapons at least once in a single Deathmatch in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: You just need to get a kill with five of the weapons that spawn on the map. Both versions of the Desert Arena or Public Garage are simple maps, as the weapons are very easy to find which are indicated by the blue crosshair. Make sure you put the bots difficulty to Beginner to kill them easier.
My favourite toy
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 4.3%
Description: Win a single Deathmatch event using only one type of weapon in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: As long as you stick to a single weapon type and make sure you win, this will be a simple one. Sticking to the shotgun is best as long as you use them at medium-short range. The closer you are, the more damage you’ll deal as is typical with shotguns in general. Easy kills.
Manic miner
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 6.5%
Description: Achieve 3 or more hits using Mines in a single Multiplayer event.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: The best advice I can give is to place down Mines in places where you know where the other drivers will go. If this isn’t working, just get in front of a bot and place it down in front of them. Repeat two more times, there you go. You could try to do the same in Deathmatch as Mines are one hit kills in that mode, but they’re more scarce. Power Race or Deathmatch, it’s all preference.
Dare Devil
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 7.3%
Description: Finish first lap in first and keep first for the entirety of the event in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: You can only get this in the racing game modes. Just like Noob, but you need to be in first place by the time you complete the first lap and stay in the lead for the rest of the race. Same rules apply; two laps on a short track and bots on Beginner difficulty.
Hacker
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.8%
Description: Start the final lap in last place and win the race against at least 4 players in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Medium
How to Get: Not as hard as it looks. Set the lap counter to 2, bots difficulty on Beginner, a track that you’re familiar with, and just stay in last place until the beginning of the final lap. Remember, you need at least 4 bots or additional players in order to get this.
Time is on my side
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 5.5%
Description: Win any race while being 20 or more seconds ahead of everyone in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: I recommend setting the lap counter to a high enough amount with bots set on Beginner difficulty (again) and racing on a track you’re very familiar with. Just drive smoothly and cleanly, don’t worry about damage. The bots will be very slow and won’t even try to catch up to you, so you’ll be very much ahead of them in no time.
King of the hill
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 5.0%
Description: Win a Last Man Standing game against 3 or more players in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: This one’s not too bad, either. It’s just the typical LMS game style of rules that apply, just with less players. Just make sure you know how to kill the last guy alive as it does tend to be a bit of a struggle to do so especially when there’s repair pickups nearby which they like to go for once they reach a low enough point.
Dead couple
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 2.1%
Description: Kill two opponents and win in a single Multiplayer race.
Difficulty: Easy (w/ two other players), Very Hard (w/ bots)
How to Get: Now this one is interesting… The difficulty of this achievement depends on how you are willing to approach it.
-If approaching this with two of your friends, just have them stay still and allow you to kill them after passing the Fire Zone. This is the easier method to do.
-If approaching this with bots, then… you’ll need to set the difficulty to IMPOSSIBLE. Yeah, you read that right! An achievement that isn’t very clear, which makes it sound like it’s easy but not really. Make sure you have a good weapon and set the lap counter to a high enough amount to where you’ll have enough chances to deal as much damage to other racers. Use the single direction shotgun because it is a bit more powerful than the rear fire one. Remember, you’ll only need to kill both bots to win.
Multiplayer Achievements 2/2
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.6%
Description: Customize every vehicle in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to Get: Why is this such an incredibly rare achievement? It’s one of the easiest to get, and I don’t get how players easily miss this since this is a freebie! Regardless… When you enter the Multiplayer mode from the main menu, you’ll be able to customize your cars before joining a room (you can’t do this while in a game room otherwise). Select ‘Presets’ and just customize any part of them in whatever way you want. Once you’re done, proceed to the next preset, and repeat until you get this.
Loser
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 2.0%
Description: In Multiplayer Battle Race, die at least 3 times.
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Remember to turn on “Respawn in Battle Race” in the settings menu as you host the game in order to get this faster. Just commit suicide three times by running over your own Mines, driving into explosive barrels, and driving into walls. If you really want things to go by quicker, set the bots to Impossible difficulty or just have a friend kill you three times. Simple.
I want you!
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.8%
Description: Kill 3 or more opponents in Multiplayer Last Man Standing and win.
Difficulty: Very Easy (w/ friends), Very Hard (w/ bots)
How to Get: Just like Dead couple, this is another achievement where it all depends on how you want to approach this. Easier with friends, harder with bots. You need three friends at the most for an easier time, or three bots all set on IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTY AGAIN if you don’t have friends to play this with. Make sure you know how to fight, because it is TOUGH when going with bots, so I advise a Team game mode so that they don’t fight each other. Get a rear fire weapon and hope most of your shots land on them. Grab the health before they do so that you won’t have to redo all that damage!
Take a break
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 3.3%
Description: Be the first to die in a Last Man Standing in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to Get: Well if you thought that the achievement above was hard, this one is pretty much easy and you’ll probably get this before ‘I want you!’. I don’t need to walk you through it.
Bulletproof
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.9%
Description: Kill at least 3 opponents without dying once during a Deathmatch in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Medium
How to Get: You’ll likely already have this if you’ve been working on the other Deathmatch achievements. But if you didn’t, set the bots to Beginner difficulty and just use the single direction shotgun against them. Make sure you don’t die, as you need three kills before you do!
Roadkill
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 2.7%
Description: During a Multiplayer Tournament, get Smash killed at least 5 times.
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Select Destruction Derby as the mode and make sure the kill count is set to 10 before launching your server. Set the bots to Impossible difficulty and just let them ram and kill you. Five times is all that you need. Team Play is best.
Looking for a parking spot
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 17.0%
Description: Drive around for 2 minutes without getting killed with 4 or more players during a Multiplayer event at Public Garage.
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Destruction Derby for the game mode, Public Garage as the map, and drive around the place while avoiding the bots on Beginner difficulty. Easy as Pi.
Damn I’m programmer
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 9.2%
Description: Create a server for Multiplayer mode.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to Get: Cakewalk of an achievement. When you click on “Play” in your Steam library, select the server launcher option and double click the ‘Dedicated server launcher’ program in the File Explorer. All you have to do is click on “Launch”, keep the window up and then open the game. It should pop at the main menu.
Flawless victory!
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 2.7%
Description: Win all events in a Multiplayer Tournament.
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: Just set it to a single round before launching your server. All you have to do is win an event. 1 lap on Buttzville, 1 bot on Beginner difficulty, and just go for it.
Elite club
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 2.3%
Description: Achieve a rank in the top 25 for any leaderboards in Multiplayer.
Difficulty: Medium-Hard
How to Get: I would recommend Arcade Rubber Banding setting for this. Set the bots to Impossible, choose a track that you know very well, and set the laps to as much as needed to get a fast lap time for the track. When you start, let the bots get as many laps ahead of you as possible so that your Nitrous lasts for the entire duration of a lap for the track you’re on. Be sure to keep moving so that you don’t get kicked from the game, too. Once a new lap starts, PUNCH IT and drive cleanly! Hopefully by the end of the lap, you’ll have a good enough time to get in the top 25 for that track.
Gofer, Bodyguard, Wise Guy, and The Godfather
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 12.5%, 5.8%, 1.9%, and 1.7%
Description: Win 1 Team event, and 1, 10, and 30 Team Tournaments
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Do the same for ‘Flawless victory!’, just with Team Play on.
Impossible Difficulty Achievements
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.6%
Description: Complete all singleplayer cups on impossible difficulty
Difficulty: Hard-Very Hard
How to Get: This shouldn’t be too difficult to do. Yes, it’s going to be tough when starting out, but it’s not exactly impossible to win (no pun intended). Just be sure that you upgrade your current cars, sell the weaker ones when unlocking the stronger ones, maintain a sponsor as much as possible, and try to stick with one or two game modes to have a better time. For Power and Battle Race, all you have to do is get a Top 3 finish. Don’t try to play Knockout Race unless you have a better car. As mentioned in the disclaimer, you’ll need to face the immense rubberbanding in races, and sheer power in deathmatches. Try to play Sponsor Events to get extra money if you are in deep need of getting cash. As long as you keep the difficulty to Impossible, you won’t affect your progress for this achievement.
It’s a power and Feed me MORE!
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.6%
Descriptions
-Qualify for any cup in the singleplayer mode on impossible difficulty by playing only power races
-Qualify for any cup in singleplayer on impossible difficulty by playing only battle and knockout races
Difficulty: Hard-Very Hard
How to Get: Stick to one mode for one cup and the other two for another. Power Race is easier to stay alive in, but difficult to catch up to the leaders. Battle and Knockout Races help get to higher positions because it includes actual weapons, but is more difficult to stay alive because of constant fire. Again, the rubberbanding on this difficulty is incredibly annoying, especially when you have a weaker car. Since you need to do one mode for the entirety of a single cup, you’ll have to deal with it all the way until qualification.
Race Fury
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.7%
Description: In singleplayer game mode win classic race with more than 15 seconds advantage over the opponents on impossible difficulty
Difficulty: Hard
How to Get: This is one of the easier ones. Choose Azra Trophy or Desert Fever Trophy, set the laps to 10 and make sure to keep the mode to Classic Race. All you have to do is take all the shortcuts you see since the bots don’t take them all the time. Drive cleanly, use the handbrake in corners to get Nitrous, and keep your lead. Use the best car you have at your disposal to have an easier time. Also remember that it’s Classic Race – no weapons, no powerups, just pure driving. Although ram damage is still accounted for.
Battle Lord
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 2.1%
Description: In singleplayer win battle race by killing everyone before race ends on impossible difficulty
Difficulty: Hard
How to Get: Another of the easier ones. I may not remember if you need all 7 bots to do this, but I’m assuming you only need to have 1 to get this. Play Battle Race, as mentioned, put the laps to 10, set it to 2 players, choose a long track such as Death Valley Challenge or Navajo Smudge, and just keep wailing on the little sucker after passing the Fire Zone. Hopefully that’ll net you the achievement.
If you don’t get it, set it to 8 players and try to take them all out, one place at a time, from the back of the pack to the front. Although by the time you take most of them out, the leading vehicles will likely be a half lap ahead of you. So in that case, you might as well wait until they do lap you, and then you can kill them that way.
K.O. Master
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.6%
Description: In singleplayer mode complete knockout race event in maximum 3 laps on impossible difficulty
Difficulty: Hard
How to Get: Should be kinda easy, set the players to 4, pick a track that you’re familiar with, use your best car, and stay out of enemy fire. Same racing tactics apply. Remember, you need to win the Knockout Race to get the achievement.
Pacifist
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.6%
Description: In singleplayer game mode paint your car in white color and complete any cup without firing single shot on impossible difficulty
Difficulty: Very Hard-Insane
How to Get: You can’t hope to get this until you’re very familiar with the tracks, skilled with your driving, and just smart enough to place down the powerups in places where you know the AI drivers will go in. This will, no doubt, be the toughest achievement in the game for you. You also might as well work on “It’s a power” while you work on this. If you have the actual guts to do this, there’s a couple things you’ll have to keep in mind:
1. The Fenderbender Cup doesn’t seem like the cup that would be most ideal. That means this achievement is glitchy, just to add salt to the wounds. So you might end up not getting it the first time.
2. You CAN sell previously owned cars to get the better ones, which does not affect the achievement itself.
3. It’s only your main weapons (shotguns, MGs, rockets, etc.) that you can’t use during Battle/Knockout Races. This means using powerups like Mines and Oil are 100% allowed.
4. Only the body of your car must be painted white, nothing else should be painted white. If being asked to apply for a sponsor, remember to always decline it to keep your car plain and white.
5. You only need to qualify for the Tournament to get the achievement, you don’t have to actually do the Tournament itself.
Good luck on this! You’ll need it…
Independent Achievements 1/2
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 37.5%
Description: Win in a race game mode while being less than 1 second close to the driver behind you.
Difficulty: Medium
How to Get: This one can be a bit tricky, because you need to finish when another driver is really close to you by the end of the final lap. It’ll take a few tries, but it probably will come naturally when simply playing the game. If you still don’t have it by the time you complete the Campaign at least, then Quick Race mode is your friend for that. Set it to 1 lap, 2 players, Beginner difficulty, and keep ahead of the bot until you are just about to reach the finish line. I believe it’s best to stay on pace with the bot behind you the whole race and try to get it that way. Power Race for best results.
So close but you died!, So close but you missed!, and Feel no pain
Trophy: N/A, N/A, Bronze
Gamerscore: N/A, N/A, 10G
Unlock Ratio: 38.7%, 2.3%, 3.9%
Description: Win the race in any racing game mode by killing the top-ranked opponent in last lap, Finish race first with less than 10% of health in any game mode, Finish any race without picking up health pack
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: You can do all of these in one race if you really want to. For the first achievement, you’ll want to set it to the same settings for the above achievement. Only this time, you’ll want to put it to a lap more or two so that you’ll have more chances to kill the only bot in the race before he finishes. I would prefer you do Battle Race to make it easier to kill him. Damage him on the first lap, but don’t kill him until the final lap. Make sure he is in the lead, too. When the final lap starts, then you can kill him.
For the other achievement, I don’t remember if you can do it by yourself or if you have to have a bot in the race. If anyone gets this by themselves, feel free to comment here. While racing, just keep damaging your car until your health is at 10% or lower. Then go on to finish the race. Avoid all the green health pickups, but try to not die. If you do get a green repair pickup, just get yourself back to 10% before the end of the race. The achievement should pop once you cross the finish line. Of course, you’ll also get the third achievement as well if you completely avoid all health pickups.
Not sure if Campaign mode is the mode to do these in, but lemme know.
Its mine!
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Unlock Ratio: 17.7%
Description: Kill an opponent with a land mine in any game mode
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: This should come naturally, given that the Mine powerup itself is an instant kill in Deathmatch mode, but they are rather scarce to come by. Select that as the game mode in Quick Race, put the players to 8, Beginner difficulty, and the kills to the max. When you start the match, find a Mine powerup and have an opponent chase you. Be sure to look down at your radar at the bottom to try and be perfectly centered. Once you get him within range, lay it down and he should hopefully drive over it. It may take a few attempts to get, but should be easy.
Strike!
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 20G
Unlock Ratio: 45.1%
Description: Kill three opponents in one race in any game mode
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Select Battle Race mode, Beginner difficulty, 8 players, how many laps you need to have the most time killing other racers, and just keep laying down the hurt. You just need 3 kills, and that’s it. If you don’t get three kills before the race ends, increase the amount of laps you need. I don’t know if this will still unlock in any arena based modes, but it wouldn’t hurt to test it out.

Trophy: N/A, Bronze
Gamerscore: N/A, 10G
Unlock Ratio: 47.9%, 19.2%
Description: Die in any game mode, Make a suicide in any game mode
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to Get: Self-explanatory. These are pretty easy to get, you could go for both of them at once. Just keep damaging your car all the way down to 0%. If you don’t get both and only get the one achievement, then have another person kill you in a Deathmatch, bots difficulty set to Extreme or Impossible to get the former. For the latter, you just need to kill yourself and not have anyone else kill you.
Eat my dust, Too fast for you, and I’m on fire!
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 30.3%, 12.6%, 4.0%
Description: Win five, ten, and twenty races in a row in any game mode
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Apparently these achievements are glitched somehow. You’ll need to keep getting first place on Beginner difficulty and only do racing events in Campaign mode. Shouldn’t be hard at all as long as you just keep on winning. If you get second place once, it’s all the way back to zero wins in a row, so you’ll need to stay focused on your driving for at least 20 consecutive races.
Hypochondriac and I cant die!
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 81.4%, 11.5%
Description: Pick up heal pack when you have 99% of health points. In Battle Race, have your vehicle’s condition be at or less than 5% and then recover back to full health.
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to Get: Just tap a wall while at 100% and then grab a health pickup. Now get yourself down to 5% heath by driving into explosive barrels and your own mines. Be sure to not die, as you need at least 5% or less of your health remaining. Then get all the health pickups you see to get back to full condition.
Like a Boss
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Unlock Ratio: 5.9%
Description: Win a Battle Race without firing a single shot
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Difficulty on Beginner, set the laps to 1, and just don’t shoot your main weapon at all. You can use powerups, just don’t shoot forward or backwards. Achievement should pop as soon as you cross the finish line.
Bullet magnet and Happy customer
Trophy: Bronze, N/A
Gamerscore: 10G, N/A
Unlock Ratio: 23.3%, 5.2%
Description: Die 6+ times in the single or multiplayer game, Kill the same opponent 6+ times in any game mode
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Deathmatch mode for both of these on Impossible difficulty for the former achievement, Beginner difficulty for the latter. Just be sure to target and kill the same bot 6 times.
Independent Achievements 2/2
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 11.2%
Description: Kill your opponents at least once with a land mine, any gun and by smash hit in any game mode
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: I prefer Deathmatch mode because it’s easier to kill your opponents here. This achievement is cumulative, so you don’t have to do it all in one match. Be sure you get at least a Mine Kill, Smash Kill, and one kill with any gun.
Froggy
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 66.9%
Description: Lose or gain 4 positions in 2 seconds
Difficulty: Very Easy
How to Get: I’d rather have you get ahead of the pack when at least four other bots bunch up together, letting them pass, and then you’ll get it that way. Ultimately, this should come naturally since you do need to take shortcuts to be able to overtake as many people within that amount of time.
Blink blink
Trophy: Bronze
Gamerscore: 10G
Unlock Ratio: 10.8%
Description: Pick up 2 large money on-track packages in single racing event
Difficulty: Medium
How to Get: This cannot be done in just one lap. Big Money pickups only appear randomly in hard to reach places on tracks when the race starts. If you see one, get it quickly. Then keep driving until you see the second one in the same spot as before. It’s a bit tricky to do because of how random the Big Money pickups tend to appear – they could appear on the first lap, they could appear on the next. You never know when it’ll spawn in. Just race on a track you’re familiar with.
Hands of Doom
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 6.8%
Description: Kill opponent in any game mode by smashing into him with your wrecked car
Difficulty: Hard
How to Get: I recommend going into Multiplayer and doing this with a friend. Play Deathmatch because that’s the easiest method of getting this. Both you and your friend must be close to death, 1% health or around there is more preferable. Have your friend use a Shotgun while you get some distance between yourselves. Start accelerating and when your friend feels you are close enough, have them shoot you before you collide into them.
Of course, this will be obtainable through sheer dumb luck in the single player, so Multiplayer is your best bet for this achievement. If you get it in single player by luck, great.

Trophy: N/A, Bronze, Bronze, Bronze
Gamerscore: N/A, 5G, 10G, 15G
Unlock Ratio: 65.1%, 26.2%, 12.9%, 5.8%
Description: Run over 1, 20, 50, and 100 animals in any game mode
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: Most tracks in the game have animals on the road. So if you’re playing on one like Buttzville/Cowlic, El Ahlan/Baklava, Snormossen/Kattsjarten, or one of the Circuit based tracks, chances are you’ll find animals to run over. Just keep finding chickens, rabbits, penguins, etc. until you get them all.
Gas Guzzlers Champion
Trophy: N/A
Gamerscore: N/A
Unlock Ratio: 1.6%
Description: Complete all achievements
Difficulty: Very Hard-Insane
How to Get: You should get this when you’ve done all the other 89 achievements (Full Metal Zombie DLC achievements don’t count towards this) in the game. However, this will not actually unlock once you do that, as it too is glitched. In that case, just do a 1 lap race on any track. If it still won’t be given to you, there is another way: right click on the game in your library, click on “Properties”, and then “Installed files”, and click on “Verify integrity of game files”. Once it’s done doing that, do a quick 1 lap race and it should pop. Congratulations! You’ve gotten all the achievements in this game! Way to go!

Description: Survive all 10 waves of zombies in Defend the Base or Survivor
Difficulty: Easy-Hard
How to Get: I recommend Defend the Base in Quick Race mode with 3 other players on Beginner difficulty so that you can get through the waves easily because both this mode and Survivor are too difficult to play otherwise. When starting out, it’s not too bad, all you do is shoot walking humans and later on, things get tough in wave 4 and beyond with the Hyenas, Buffalo (which, those two in specific will have bombs strapped to them half the time). Eventually, the giant Trolls will come on in that take so much firepower to kill, and then the big MG zombies that you’ll need Rockets for.
As you make progress throughout Defend the Base, more weapons will be available for you to pick up, and you’ll have to go back to the Gas Station to recover damage and gas. And without gas, you can’t move very much! Additionally, using Nitrous drains your gas faster so use it carefully because you never know when you’ll get into a jam. Use the best car you have, because playing it with slower vehicles is PAIN. In Defend the Base, pretty much all enemies are after the base and they’ll attack it until it’s fully destroyed. You repair it by parking your car close by, just like the Gas Station.
The reason why Defend the Base is best is because this mode has an extra achievement that you can get, listed at the bottom. Luckily if you run out of lives, you restart at the wave you died on, so you don’t start the entire thing over. But overall, good luck with these 10. They are plentiful, lemme tell you.
Stop trolling!, Who let the dogs out., Liposuction, and Zombicide
Trophy: Silver, Gold, Gold, Gold
Gamerscore: 50G, 30G, 25G, 50G
Unlock Ratio: 1.6%, 1.7% (Liposuction)
Description: Kill 500 Trolls, 800 Hyenas, 1000 fat zombies, and 15000 human zombies
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
How to Get: These four take a while to do, especially the 15000 human zombie kills one. This is going to be a super boring grind, with the only exception being that you don’t need to get a certain amount of Buffalo kills (…for some reason…). At least these are relatively simple to get because all you have to do is kill as much as possible. But as long as you play on Beginner difficulty, you shouldn’t be having much trouble at all. Using rocket launchers looks to be the best choice in groups of zombies.
Emergency 911
Trophy: Gold
Gamerscore: 50G
Unlock Ratio: 1.6%
Description: Get 10000 total points in repairing the base in Defend the Base
Difficulty: Easy
How to Get: If you focus on this achievement first, then you can do Survivor for the kill and rest of the zombie waves achievements. It may seem daunting to do, but there is a rather almost effortless way of getting this that I found…
Put the difficulty on Impossible, Desert Arena (regular or Xmas, doesn’t matter), 4 Players. When you begin, drive and park right behind the base; specifically the higher ground. Let the AI kill the zombies and protect the base themselves, and just say still. Kill the zombies coming for you and don’t move much. Do this for the first 2 waves.
In waves 3 and 4, you’ll likely have many Buffalo comin’ at you. Just reverse off the ledge and onto the base, as the Buffalo will just die instantly from just walking on top of it. You will respawn from where you drove off immediately afterwards. As the zombies destroy the base, you should be racking up points very fast as long as you kill all zombies coming to you. You and your team will likely lose at Wave 4, but you can keep restarting this again and again, which will net you the achievement within 4 hours.
Good luck on this if you try to do this legitimately with all other Zombie achievements!
