Note: Two Day Trial

Criterion has granted those that rent or purchase the game new/used a online pass to play the game for 48 hours upon starting the online for the first time. If you know you wont be buying any of the DLC in the future the two day pass will be very useful if you just want to get the platinum.

 

Introduction:

From the developers of the Burnout series, Criterion has stepped up to the racing line to renovate, bring life and revive a dying arcade racing franchise known as need for speed. Need for speed: Hot Pursuit gives you the chance to drive as both a cop and a racer without losing any progress when switching between the two. In both careers you get weapons to use against the competition and the racers/cops that get in your way. This is an arcade game so as you progress through the game and earn bounty the weapons you use will last longer and be more effective when used. The cars unlock once you reach enough bounty points and the rank and wanted levels work the same. There is a new autolog mode integrated in the game, so you and your friends can compete with each other with challenges and other stuff.

 

Walkthrough:

 

Step 1: Single Player

Start your career as a racer or a cop. I would advise sticking with one of them until you have earned all golds/distinctions as one of them so there is no confusion on which ones you need to complete. Scroll to the bottom of the trophy guide to see which types of events you will have to compete in once you start your career. Once you have finished with either one go to the next one and complete it achieving the only 2 gold trophies in the trophy set. While you are playing the game most of the use each weapon at least once trophies will be achieved.

 

Step 2: The online 

If you need a break or finished the Single player events, head on to the online component of the game. You will need the online pass (Which came with the game new) or you can use the 2 day online trial pass to get the online trophies. The trophies you are going for are;

 

  • Festival of Speed
  • Race
  • Chase
  • Escapologist
  • Bounty Hunter

You will need to play a total of 50 online events to get all 5 trophies. There are also the autolog recommendations that are part of the online trophy set but the online pass is not needed for the trophies. They are;

 

  • Share the Joy
  • Setting the Score
  • Share the Dream
  • Graffiti
  • Socialite
  • Midnight Cowboy

Please see the guide to get those trophies out of the way as quickly as possible.

 

Step three: Mop up

This is when you go back to the offline to finish up the rank/wanted level trophies. Please see Most Wanted and Ultimate Enforcer for a few events that will help you earn bounty a little quicker. There are a set of trophies that you have to use certain vehicles and take pictures or win races with.

 

  • Shaken, Not Stirred
  • Wet in the Vette
  • Imprezive
  • Snakebite in Black
  • Electrically Charged
  • Flight of the Bumblebee
  • Godzilla
  • Iron Man

Please see the trophy guide on how to achieve each trophy, some of the trophies will have videos linked to them if you are having trouble or an image of the car that you need to bust/wreck with a specific power.

29.jpg Burnout (B)

Fill the Nitrous bar then use it all in one go without hitting anything

 

The nitrous bar is the bright blue bar in the bottom right. At the bottom of the car you will see the words press :cross: to use nitrous when it is full, hold down :cross: until the tank is empty. Do not hit anyone or anything and this will unlock. You can do this in freedrive or during one of the races, make sure you are on a highway. I did this trophy in the first race event called Roadsters reborn. There are many straights in that event so it shouldn't be a problem achieving this trophy.

 

30.jpg Wall of Steel (B)

Deploy a Road Block which then gets hit by a Racer

 

As a cop you will unlock the ability to use road blocks. Once you have the road blocks online press :right: to use the Road block. Most of the time a car will hit the road block. You will get an on screen message or the police women say that road block hit or miss the target. The Road block is always placed ahead of you so use it when there are no shortcuts in the area so the racers run into it. The more hits you get with the road block the more powerful the road blocks get.

 

31.jpg Shock to the System (B)

Get a hit with an EMP

 

As you progress through the game you will unlock this ability. You can either earn this trophy as a cop or as a racer. The emp is a bolt that is shot towards the targeted racer or cop. To use the emp press :left: to shot out have the target indicator pop up on screen on the back of a car. Make sure you are close to the car so you don’t waste an emp, you are limited to a certain amount with each event you get access to it. The more hits you get with the emp the faster the ability will be shot out of the car and connect with the back or the car that you are targeting.

 

32.jpg Hit Confirmed (B)

Get a hit with a Spike Strip

 

As you progress though the game you will gain access to this ability. You can do this as a racer or as a cop. Press :down: to release a spike strip. The more hits you get with the spike strips the faster the spike strips will be released from the car and giving you the ability to release 2 spikes at once.

 

33.jpg Aerial Assistance (B)

Call in a Helicopter which then hits a Racer with a Spike Strip

 

As you progress through the game you will unlock the helicopter. To use the helicopter press :up: to release the helicopter. The helicopter then releases spike strips in front of you and the racers ahead. The spike has to hit the car once the spike hits the ground. The more hits you get with the helicopter the longer the helicopter will stay out and drop spike strips. This can only be used as a cop.

 

34.jpg Denied (B)

First Jammer use that affects a Cop

 

As a racer you will need to use a jammer on a cop. As you progress through the game you will unlock the jammer. The jammer stops all communications coming from the dispatcher and the police vehicles, and opening the road to any roadblocks in your way. Press :right: to use this and then the trophy will pop.

 

35.jpg In the Zone (B)

Use a full Turbo without hitting anything

 

This can only be used by a racer. As you progress through the game you will unlock the use of turbo. Turbo gives the car you are driving a big burst of speed to drive past other racers or just to give you the greater distance from other cars and cops. Press :up: to use turbo once you have unlocked it. The more you use turbo the longer it will last. Thanks mritual1 for the video.

 

 

36.jpg Eye of the Needle (B)

Finish the event in any place for this trophy to pop up if you already have the corvette unlocked. Once you unlock the car enter the race and as soon as you start driving the trophy will pop.

 

40.jpg Ultimate Enforcer (S)

Reach rank (20) Ultimate Enforcer as a Cop

 

There a numerous ways to earn bounty points, but not all of them get you the desired points to level up quickly. You will need to reach rank 20 Cop with a total of 2,000,000 bounty points. You will earn points for wrecking racers and finding shortcuts or beating your personal record times, but that is only giving you 1,000 to 4,000 points. Here is a list of events you can try to get points quickly

  • Run to the Hills (15,000 points every 4 mins) Thanks OD3N
  • End Of The Line (30,000 points every 6 mins) Thanks Grafinenko & misterdisguise
  • Chase 101 (6,000 for every 25 seconds + loading time) Thanks ShineDalgarno

The time depends on skill and how you use each weapon.

 

41.jpg Most Wanted (S)

Reach wanted level (20) Most Wanted as a Racer

 

This is the same thing just like as a cop, but this time you will need to do it as a racer. You will need to reach wanted level 20 as a racer with a total of 2,000,000 bounty points. You will earn points for finish positions, finding new shortcuts, setting new Personal Best times, and wrecking cops. Here is a list of events you can try to get points quickly.

  • Coral Bay: Power Trip
  • Coral Bay: Seacrest Tour
  • Grand Ocean Coast: V12 For Victory

The time depends on skill and how you use each weapon.

 

42.jpg Power Spike (S)

Spike strip a car that is targeting you with an EMP

 

You can get this in either an online or offline match. You will get the notification stating that there is an emp lock on your car you will see it on your car too. Just wait for the car to be behind you and then release a spike strip on the vehicle. Make sure you are in an event that has cops and Spike strips available for you to use at any time. Be patient this may take some time and it will happen during the later races if you plan to do this offline.

 

43.jpg Imprezive (S)

Accumulate 2,000 yds of drift in a single event using the Subaru Impreza WRX STI

 

This has to be down in a single event and there are a few events you can do this in

  • Title Fight event it is under Big timber forest
  • Lightening reflex it is under Memorial Valley
  • There are more events, just pick the event that has the sports series as a class.

Just make sure to go back and forth with the turns to get the 2,000 yards. You can drive in the wrong direction if you find a turn you get alot of drift time on. There is no notification to when you get itm is something you will have to keep track of yourself. If you are sure you go 2,000 yards worth of drifting complete the race for the trophy to unlock. Thanks bash achievements

 

 

44.jpg Flight of the Bumblebee (S)

Win the 'Muscle Reflex' race in a Bee Yellow Chevrolet Camaro SS

 

Muscle Reflex is one of the earlier mission, but you will have to unlock the Camaro SS first before getting this trophy. Once in the car select screen choose the camaro SS, you will then go into the color select screen. Move over to the right and over the bee yellow color then win the event using that car in that color to unlock this trophy. You don't have to come in first, there have been claims that you can get any medal and still have the trophy pop up.

 

45.jpg Godzilla (S)

Get any medal in 'Run to the Hills' driving the Nissan GT-R SpecV without using any weapons

 

This is a police event. Once you have reached the event called Run to the Hills pick the Nissan GT-R SpecV and complete the event. You can’t use any weapons and you have to wreck at least 4 vehicles to get the trophy. Thanks TurboReiji for the video. There has been a claim that you don't have to finish the race if you get wrecked, you will still get the trophy.

 

Patch 1.01

 

The Nissan GT-R SpecV is the first car unlocked for the Trooper II rank (9). Thanks Soothsayer for the info.

Get Distinction in a Hot Pursuit, Interceptor and Rapid Response using the Audi R8

 

You will eventually unlock this vehicle but already have completed the events, its okay just go back to these events and get a distinction in each one using the Audi R8. Credit to mirski5 for the names of the events. Remember these are cop events.

  • · East George Canyon - Run to the Hills (Hot Pursuit)
  • · Grand Ocean Coast - Hang Tough (Interceptor)
  • · Carson Ridge Reservoir - Guided Missile (Rapid Response)

If you don't like any of those events you can pick any three as long as as each one of three is one of those types of events. There has been a claim that you can get second place in one or all events and still get this trophy.

47.jpg Electrically Charged (S)

Bust the 918 Spyder using an EMP in 'Porsche Patrol'

 

This is a cop event. There are 7 racers in this event and 2-3 of them are driving the Porsche 918 Spyder. I would just save the EMP for the last set of cars that are left. Make sure to take out most of the health of all the cars, the spyder is usually the car in first place so taking out all the cars and leaving that one to emp will be a good alternative. The car in the photo is the car you need to wreck/bust with an emp.

 

Jt1x2N3.jpg

 

48.jpg Snakebite in Black (S)

Spike a cop while driving a Black Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR or Ford Shelby GT500 Supersnake

 

Pick any super series event that has the Black Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR or Ford Shelby GT500 Supersnake in it, paint the car black and hit a cop car. Make sure it’s a hot pursuit event. There is an event in Carson Ridge Reservoir that has an hot pursuit event and you can use the Ford Shelby GT500. All you have to do is drive in front of the cop car, stay at a good distance and then press :down: to release the spike strips.

 

Look for any exotic hot pursuit event that lets you use the Black Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR go down to the color Viper black and Spike strip a cop and the trophy will pop.

Earn a Distinction in every single-player Cop mission

 

In order to get this, you will need to get Distinction on all 48 cop missions. Good luck!

  • Rapid Response

You are given a specific type of class and you can you any car in that class (if they are unlocked) to get from one place to the other. You are challenged by time and by the oncoming and random cars that are on the road. The cars that you will be driving are all exotics and high class cars making the game and the feel for speed more like the game should. Make sure you drive a fast car, but still try your best not to hit anything, due to time penalties in this event type.

 

The best way to complete these events is to keep your eyes on the road, use the shortcuts as much as possible, use nitrous every chance you get and watch out for random cars that pop up in the game while you are in any event. The best way to know if you are going to get gold in any event is to have at least 15 or so seconds left when you reach a mile left on the track. There is a penalty for hitting cars and damaging the car. So try you best to not hit anything. You can get a 2-6 time penalties in each event but try to stay below that.

  • Interceptor

This type of event pits you the cop up against one racer that is trying to get away. You have to wreck the car or pin the car up to a wall to bust the fleeing racer to make an arrest or bust. There are some events of this type that the cars will try to do certain maneuvers to get away, keep an eye on the car and the road, you can still crash and damage your car. Use nitrous to gain speed quickly, that way when you use it, it will cause more damage to the vehicle that you are pursuing when the car is hit. You will also get certain weapons to use in these events so use them to your advantage.

  • Hot Pursuit

Hot pursuit events are just like the interceptor events, except this event has more racers and is an event within a race. So if you happen to miss one racer and they pass the finish line the event is over and you don’t get a distinction.

 

I would advise using roadblocks to slow down multiple racers at once and if you have the clear shot ram right into one of the racers taking that racer out. If you are ahead of a racer use the spike strips to damage the car and save any emps to when there is only one or two racers left (it also depends how many you start with). The cars you use also determine how quickly you can catch up and keep up with other racers.

The best way to know if you are going to get gold in any event is to have at least 15 or so seconds left when you reach a mile left on the track. There is a penalty for hitting cars and damaging the car. So try you best to not hit anything. You can get a 2-6 time penalty in each event but try to stay below that.

Earn a Gold Medal in every single-player Racer event

 

In order to get this, you will need to get Gold on all 60 racer missions.

 

  • Race
     
    This is your standard race event. You will be up against 3-7 other racers in most events. In most of these events you only get to use nitrous, no weapons or power ups to aid yourself to get ahead in the race.
     
    Tip for the seacrest tour: Take shortcuts! The competition doesn't take ANY shortcuts! So if you find yourself behind then just take as many shortcuts as you can to catch up! Thanks Chewbacon
     
  • Hot Pursuit
     
    Just like the race events except you are being pursued by the police. You will be up against 3-7 other racers and you will have weapons/gadgets to use against other racers and cops. Use them wisely on the cops, you can not damage a racer and knock them out( they will just keep coming back), but you can knock the cops up if they to close and to get some breathing room.
     
  • Time Trial
     
    You are given a specific type of class and you can use any car in that class (if they are unlocked) to get from one place to the other. You are challenged by time and by the oncoming and random cars that are on the road. The cars that you will be driving are all exotics and high class cars making the game and the feel for speed more like the game should. Make sure you drive a fast car.

    There is one Time Trial event that has every one mad, I would advise using this thread for tips and maybe tricks on how to complete this event. The Ultimate Road Car (McLaren Time Trial) - PlaystationTrophies.org

  • Duel
     
    Your standard race event except it is with one other racer. You have a choice of 2 cars in these events and the better one should always be your first choice.
     
  • Gauntlet

A race against time with the addition of police chasing after you. The deeper you get into the game the more police will be involved in each of these events. The best thing to do, especially when you have weapons/gadgets, is to drive fast and use the gadgets on the police to get them out of your way as early as possible. Look at the preview and time trial events for more info.

Another great work :applause: but what happened to the other guide ?

 

Thanks! The other guide is right here http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/need-speed-hot-pursuit/79585-need-speed-hot-pursuit-trophy-guide-road-map.html

 

I decide to write a more detailed guide and since that one wasn't submitted, I can't get my DLC guide a sticky, since the retail one has to be processed first.
