Well, I tried it, and it works!!!! All smashes complete, and the Carbon GT Concept is a sweet car 👍. I owe this one to you, Red9597.
Not a tough one to gather at least.Win a Stunt Run in the Jansen 88 Special.
Light up the Manhattan Spirit when online in a Freeburn Challenge.
Sound the Cavalry Bootlegger's horn whilst jumping and then successfully land any Silver Lake Super Jump.
Score a 3x Boost Chain in the GT Nighthawk.
For the boost chain (I think mine was 33x) I used the Krieger WTR and went in reverse on I-88. It burns through boost fast, and still remains very controllable. The Stunt runs were a nightmare for me. I actually had given up on them and counted them as impossible. Until I began mapping out the path I was going to use. Practice the path and they became very easy. I can also walk you through the path of how I managed to nail down the 49x multiplier.
If you'd like a hand with the online challenges, lets meet up and we can go through all the two player challenges at one time. I'm fairly well versed, so in less than an hour, we should knock a slew of them out.
morning editBlip the throttle, and as soon as you go over the Green Arched steel bridge, head right into a shortcut, CRASH picking up two more billboards over two jumps. The shortcut splits, so take the one on the left, as it has two jumps that help conserve and increase boost. This dumps you out at the Coast Guard station, on E. Crawford Drive.
I managed three of the four trophies last night as well. The only one I didn't get, was the 3x Boost Chain in the GT Nighthawk. There is a purported rumor of a problem with that one. I ran up a 5x boost chain, and didn't get the trophy.Win a Stunt Run in the Jansen 88 Special.

I can't get the GT Nighthawk Trophy, what gives?
Something that only became apparent once the Legendary Cars went live was that if you already had the 2x Boost Chain Trophy it's impossible to get the GT Nighthawk one. There are a number of workarounds available online if you look for them but we'd rather you waited for us to fix it. We hope to get it done real soon as we'll message everyone once it's done.
They are "cartoon" impressions of existing cars. Supposedly the same physics and actions/reactions of the other cars, just a bit more fun. To quote criterion gamesSpeaking of Burnout Paradise DLC... what's the scoop on all those recent "Toy" cars? Are they just novelty items... like some kind of RC car that you can drive around?![]()
It says a lot about the Hunter Takedown 4x4's massive size that even the toy version is a big as an average traffic car!
Excellent. I had noticed that you were racking up some showtime scores when I was online on Saturday.First of all, Thank You Der Alta.
After 6 hours of straight playing last night I finally got 100%. What a difference a car makes to showtime! I used the WTR like you said and I never have to restart more than twice to beat the records. I even reached a 13x multiplier once
. To get the 40x multiplier in Stunt Run I also used the P12 Track Package. I got the award after 3 tries 👍. I combined a few of your stunt runs write up with my own route and that gives me enough multipliers
.
In review, what I meant (and you may have misunderstood) was that WTR toy was much too skittish. I drove the 4X4 toy this weekend, and its a tank. Not very fast, but it'll punch any other car right off the road, barely slowing down. It's like using a sledge hammer to apply butter on toast.I also found a way to get the premium DLCs, and I have to say, the Toy Cars are an absolute hoot to drive! I'm digging the Toy GT Concept now. Contrary to what you're saying though, I don't find them twitchy or nervous at all. They have lots of grip, yes, but still manageable. I find the normal WTR to be twitchier than all of the toys personally.
We certainly agree there.The Legendary Cars are less impressive to be honest, I was expecting more from them. The P12 88 is by far my favourite (just because it can hover), followed by the Nighthawk (because of its retractable spoiler) then the Bootlegger (the horn is one of the most iconic sounds ever). The Manhattan Spirit is pointless IMO.
I've not used the Hawker Mech, but will soon to gain that trophy. My thoughts exactly on the Hotrod. All but useless unless you know you're going to boost till you crash. I'm looking forward to giving it a shot off the Rock Ridge Cliff and Read Lane Super Jumps though.I've also downloaded the Boost Specials. They're good, but still not better than the Toys. The Hawker Mech allows you to switch between Stunt, Speed and Aggression boost types, but I don't find it that useful because I always stick to Stunt boost most of the time (the Stunt boost bar is shorter also, dunno why). And the Extreme Hot Rod, once you engage the boost, will continue to boost until you wreck, which makes it completely useless except in straights.
I don't have Parties at my place that generally have lots of people playing Burnout. Looks like I'll have to play that one entirely on my ownI also downloaded the Party Pack, but I haven't tried it yet. Should be fun though, from the looks of it.
I'm really looking forward to the Island as well. Supposedly in May, but I'll not hold my breath, as that is a rumor. As for the Sponsor cars, in the US and PAL games, if you haven't picked them up already, one of the recent Updates removed the ability to unlock them from the game. I've only briefly driven the Hunter Olympus, and it wasn't anything exciting. Basically similar intentions as the hunter 4X4. The Rai-Jin Turbo, has no boost ability, so I only gave that a few minutes of play. When you're getting read to get online, drop me a message, and I'll join you to knock out a bunch of the challenges. I've started a second game, and need to pick up a few trophies from the online portion. I'll be available for most of Saturday to knock them off.Now the only things left is the Island and the Cops n Robbers DLC. Anyone know when that's supposed to come out?
Also, while reading a FAQ at gamefaqs it's written that you get two extra cars in online mode (Nakamura Rai-jin Turbo & Hunter Olympus IIRC). Are they any good? And I also find it very unfair that only the US and PAL discs get the bonus sponsor cars. Why can't the rest of the world get them also?
Ah well, at least now I'm finished with offline BOP. Should be able to go online this weekend and finish the freeburn challenges to get that Carbon Uberschall 8.
I'm having a lot of trouble downloading the 1.7 update data, several times I have started downloading only for it to go painfully slow and then have an error at about 20%. I have been downloading stuff all weekend on a wireless connection with no problems whatsoever including update data for another game so I don't think it's my connection anyone have any ideas?
I was having some issues over the weekend connecting to the Servers as well. In fact, on Saturday, I had to disconnect the Cable to the PS3 to even get into the game. I really don't like that it immediately downloads all the news before you can get into the game. I say keep trying, and eventually you'll get it.Maybe it's just the Burnout server that's having troubles. When I downloaded the DLCs yesterday I also get an error so I just restarted the download and it works fine. If you get an error again try downloading it tomorrow or in a few days 👍.

Yeah, I got signed out of the servers last night while I was playing. I think it is a server-side issue.I was having some issues over the weekend connecting to the Servers as well.

I'm getting there. Last night I was trying to drift through an intersection and I guess it thought I was wanting to start a race, so with zero prep I was racing and I did manage to make my way, but it was sloppy, beating the the lead AI by less than a second.@ Foolkiller: Getting to know the city is a must if you want to win races reliably, especially for later races where the opponents are much faster. A trick I used when I race is to follow the leader (stay in 2nd place) so he acts as my GPS (the turn indicator sometimes picks the wrong routes so I don't trust it). All this time I'm conserving boost. When I see the finish line ahead, I engaged the boost. So I'll pass the leader just metres from the finish line. Sometimes you can't overtake tho, so in that case I'll just try again and engage the boost earlier.
The White Mountain region is the one area I have done very little in. I found the quarry and did one race to the wind farm.a Great place to practice Barrel Rolls, is the Super Jump on Read Lane (in the White Mountains). If you crash at the bottom of it, it restarts you back up on the road aiming at the Jump. With enough speed and the right hit on the ramp, I've landed a handful of 4x barrel rolls.
This is what I do now, but I would like to get away from relying on this. I want to get to a point where I can glance at my mini-map and say, "OK, two streets is where I need to turn," or "There is a shortcut past this turn." Like I said, I'm getting there. I think the fact that I just earned my B license should tell you I have a ways to go yet.The other posters are correct in learning the roads. Another hint you can use, is popping up the Full Map while you are racing. It gives you a moment to relax and review where you are on the course.
Right, I often ignore this as it often ignores the straightest/shortest line, but does take you on the easiest route to find from your current position. What I wish I had is a way to mark waypoints on the map so that my turn indicator was indicating my preferred route. That way it works like a proper GPS, and not some Wal*Mart discount GPS.I never use the turn signal, as there is often a better route to take to get to the finish line.
Here is how doing a race goes for me. First, I pull up my map and find a race, then I check out what I think the route should be, based on which direction I think it will start me going. Then when the race starts I immediately hit Select and bring my map up again. If I am going how I expected to I quickly mark the intersections in my mind so I can see them on the mini-map. If I am going in a different direction, I make the necessary adjustments to find my best route. Occasionally, I get caught up in the race and miss a turn so I have to bring my map up to make adjustments. So far this has served me well, but as it gets more difficult the races are getting tougher.Additionally, there are only a handful of routes to go on for the races. Figure out the quickest way to a point, and the easiest to remember. For instance, when racing from anywhere in the south East, towards the country club, there are two shortcuts and a jump that considerably straighten out the path and making you faster.
Yep, there is. On the previous page, I commented on the same issue.Hi guys.
I bought the GT Nighthawk (Legendary Car) from the Burnout Store and was trying to earn the Trophy of getting a x3 Boost Chain from this car. But I don't know why I can't get this trophy, even I did a x5 or more Boost Chain offline or online. Is there any special requirement that I've missed out?![]()
Yep, there is. On the previous page, I commented on the same issue.
Apparently, if you've already been awarded the 2X Boost Chain Trophy in the game, you can't win it in the Nighthawk. You'll have to back up your game via USB (To save what you've already done) and restart the game. At that point, you'll be able to win it in the Nighthawk.
So, DLC cars are available immediately, even if you don't have their normal counterpart unlocked?
