The Bear Champ
Smash all bear collectibles.
After the prologue, the Bear Champ collectibles spawn on the map. They just look like bears dressed as boxers. There are 100 of them, and you just need to drive into them to ‘smash’ them.
Most Wanted
Escape a Heat 5 cop chase in story mode.
To build up to heat, you need complete street races. Once you’ve got a bit of heat, you can initiate chases with the police, which helps you boost your heat to level 5, assuming you don’t escape too quickly. When you’re level 5, you need to try to escape the cops. Going fast and heading off-road generally helps.
For the Escape Artist achievement or trophy, you need to be in an A+ car.

In The Zone
Get 3 stars on all Speed Run activities.
You can find speed run activities in the open world. To get three stars of them, you need to keep your average speed as high as possible. Each activity shows you what number you need to hit to reach three stars. As these activities are about going fast, you’ll want to use a very quick car, but also one that you can handle, as crashing severely slows you down.
Frequent Flyer
Get 3 stars on all Long Jump activities.
There are a bunch of long jumps on the map. The marker for them is actually the jump itself. So, you want to go towards it at speed and time your nitrous right so you’re at your top speed as you hit the ramp. The distance you reach from the jump dictates how many stars you get.
Catch My Drift
Get 3 stars on all Drift Zone activities.
The map contains plenty of Drift Zone activities. Each one scores you for how far you drift. The exact distance depends on the activity. Naturally, a car with good drifting helps tremendously with these. Also, don’t forget that you can drift a little on straight roads, not just corners. If you’ve got a long straight, you can do a bit of drifting as you progress forward. Yet, don’t do it right before a corner, as then you won’t be able to perform a big drift at the corner itself.
Caught On Camera
Get 3 stars on all Speed Trap activities.
For the speed trap activities you can find on the map, you need to be going incredibly quickly as you reach them. They’re essentially speed cameras that mark down how fast you’re going once you pass through them. The faster you are, the more stars you receive.
Cleaning Up
Collect all collectibles and get 3 stars on all activities.
Collect every bear, billboard, and street art, and get three stars in every Speed Run, Long Jump, Drift Zone, and Speed Trap activity.

Flow Master
Score 250,000 during a Takeover event.
Takeovers are circuits that you have to complete while picking up as many points as possible. There isn’t any sneaky trick to get an outrageous amount of points. Just drift, smash things, and go up jumps as often as possible. The most important thing is to keep your combo going.

Public Enemy
Take down 5 cops within a single story session.
While in free roam, you can occasionally find cop cars driving around. If you smash into them at high speed, you can do a lot of damage and maybe even take them out in a single hit. It’s better to ram into while free-roaming instead of during a chase, as in chases, they seem to be more sturdy.
Untouchable
Escape 50 cop chases in story mode.
You escape cops by getting far enough away from them that they lose sight of you and give up. Do this 50 times to unlock the achievement or trophy. You may not get this naturally, so you may have to build up your heat and drive near the cops to initiate chases.
