Complete Season 1, 2 and 3 and the whole lot will be unlocked I believe with Hidden Packages and Challenges :)

Yup, there's split screen of everything. Including a free roam around the DC Compound.

Found it, never went in the multiplayer menu since I can't put in my VIP code yet anyways. :grumpy:
 
I got this game yesterday and have played through the first season, and then went and played around in the compound parking lot for about 50 minutes (Yesterday was a GOOOOD day!) but I could not find the 9th hidden package at all... Any known bug where a package appears to be in 1 area but actually unlocks later? I also really struggled with some of the missions, the 180 degree mid-air spin and the drift gate at the end of the dirt ramp.... I drifted going up the ramp, down the ramp, across the face of the ramp, between both pairs of concrete tubes and tyres (that was a mission in itself, I had the lancer and it only just got between them sideways!) but nothing!
 
I found all the packages no problem, no known issue other then it's hidden well I'd guess :lol:. Some of the challenges definately don't pop up clearly, often re-doing exactly the same thing gets it done it is quite strange.
 
The one package I couldn't find and required a video was in that building in the depot where you do spins. I knew there was going to be one hiding behind skids and boxes.

Nope, all packages are where they should be. Some of them are just really well hidden. There was one in particular that I drove past a dozen times without even realising it was there. You just need to search for all the nooks and crannies. Most of them are actually really obvious when you finally get them.
 
There are still 3 packages that I've yet to come across as I honestly can't find them, I presume that at least 1 of them is somewhere inside the depot but I need to do a thorough search for the other 2. I just need to find the last of those hidden packages and complete 5 of the challenges before I reach 100%.
 
Try going up on the scaffolding alongside the power station in the depot. You can use that scaffolding to enter the power station's second floor. Position yourself so that you're looking straight into the power station. On your right, there should be a little space with walls on three sides that is just big enough to fit a car into. There should be a hidden package in there if you haven't already found it - it's probably the hardest one to find.
 
Yep, I found it last night! Its odd, I had blasted through every collection of boxes / barrels / crates and not found it. Started the session fresh yesterday and just driving round them all slowly I saw it first then drove in and nabbed it!

Onto the depot now, found all 7 here but its tough! Gets you exploring!
 
I didn't think so. No, I found the missions on top of the containers the hardest. It took me forever to get the one where you spin on top; I kept falling off. And I swear I drifted across the top of them half a dozen times before the game registered that I had done it.
 
I find the detection was very spotty, most of the actual tricks at least whilst I'm still stuck to pad were quite easy usually the drift ones were the most off. Turning that trick view thing on makes it easier on the others as you will see the little ring on top of something indicating where you should spin. Overall though I didn't have to much trouble with any of them, some took 4 or 5 attempts but they all came eventually.
 
Pretty sure I bounced my landing to :lol:, landed on the flat part rather then the other slope but I still got the pop up on my third attempt of doing very little different. I immediately spun myself back around to (on purpose) ready to try again incase it hadn't worked so you don't need to do something like say reverse to 'prove' to the game you 180'd.
 
"Drift under the free-standing crane."

Okay, I see the one that's the furthest from the containers, that must be the one that's free-standing... *proceeds to do so, and never works* *proceeds to drift under the one closest to the parking lot, DING!* How is that FREE-standing?!
 
It's free-standing because it's not relying on the containers or the scaffoling for support. All three of those cranes are free-standing.
 
A lot of them are very ambiguous! Perform a spin whilst driving through the warehouse... ok, so it took me about 20 minutes but FINALLY drove through at the right speed to perform my 360 whilst still going through the warehouse, BOOYA he cries!

Look at "help" videos later to see what some of the ambiguous challenges are, and I see what it ACTUALLY means... he drives into the warehouse, does a little spin and accelerates off again. WHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTT!!!!!! Whoever wrote that mission either doesn't understand 'whilst' or underestimated it... "Drive into the warehouse, perform a 360 degree spin and then drive out again" is much better!

I'm finding that with a lot of these missions, I'm reading them, trying them out then going "oh, it must mean somewhere else then?". Watch a video later and discover I was right, and that it just didn't trigger on any of the other 20 times I have done it. Its really frustrating!
 
That one was actually not confusing to me at all, but that was solely because I was struggling to get platinum in that one gymkhana attack that required you to spin in the warehouse before finishing. I figured out that you don't need to come to a halt for the spin to count, because there was no way I was able to get platinum if I did a spin on the spot...
 
The ones that are causing me trouble are a) performing the 180-degree jump, b) drifting between the lamp posts and concrete pipes at the end of the ramp in the carpark, and c) drifting under the boat shed or whatever it is.
 
I did what one person mentioned here about the 180, don't go parallel with the dirt ramp. Instead, go at it at a slight angle, e-brake, and hope for the best. If you find you aren't rotating enough, try e-braking earlier.

Drifting between the lamp posts and concrete pipes took a fair bit of effort, but it was easier if you didn't try going at it really fast. you know where it is though, right?

Drifting under the posts made of decaying bricks holding up the boat; just go slow at it. What matters is that you cross the "line" while going sideways.

That person would be me I think :lol:, just allows for extra rotation coming off the ramp without getting sent wildly away from the other end but I'm not sure if that actually helped get it to pop or not as I'd done about 5 180s before it decided I had done it right.

Couple of tips for the ones which require lots of objects and such.

Object destruction, in the warehouse in area 2, loads of boxes, you can drive around the warehouse slowly hitting them and they respawn by the time you drive around again, or did for me. Easy way to rack it up.

Rolls can be done in the long tunnel, drive around it in circles (i.e. across it so you're doing loops) and they count as rolls.

Drifting and driving just go full speed around the quickest route you can, racks up both.

Donuts and spins can be done in one place, the tighter the quicker.
 
Those will naturally rack up as you struggle through completing the rest of the missions. I remember I got rolls way before I finished the other missions because I kept falling off containers and stuff.

For driving though, I stuck with the minimum speed because you can be going for a longer duration than you would if you went at it full speed.
 
I had only completed drift when I finished, so I had alot to cover. You could just not shift up and drive around the long route, you can basically hold a pretty steady speed in big circles around the compound quite easily. However for drifting as well you need extra speed so when you scrub some you're still carrying plenty, kill 2 birds with 1 stone if neccessary.
 
Are there maps online where all the hidden packages are? Because one of the packages in the parking lot has got me all tied in a knot.
