TehJofus Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Like me! Use the Dodge Charger '15 for 'Acquire The Challenger - Part 1'. Before I got to this race, my highest chain was about 17,000, and after this, it was 60,000. It's mostly on a dirt road, which makes drifting and E-drifting ridiculously easy, and you start in 9th so you can get some good drafting done right from the very beginning. Combine that with nitrous to overtake everyone, and you can get over 50,000 roughly 30% into the race. Hope this helps anyone who was worried about this achievement, like I was!

aspeedomodel Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 What I did was use the Dodge Charger 1970 that you get early on. Then I went to a dirt road far out and literally just picked up speed and drifted, did burnouts, hit bushes and so forth until I got 11,000 x 5.5. Then I stopped and let it go through. Took maybe 5 minutes of trying, with two fails for hitting a tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizm0 The Great Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Another easy way to get a 50,000 skill chain is on the "acquire the cuda- pt 2" using the Dodge Charger 15... I hit 80,000+ within the first 30% of the track... Lots of bumps make it easy to keep the chain going... Try and draft opponents at the start... Get some air overtakes and you should be over 50,000 around the time you hit the first major right turn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornesbored Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Got 160k on the same race as above, it's real easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0lourmegrey Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 why are people struggling with this, one of the races is even at the airport. Turn off traction control, drive to the end of the runway & do one big drift/burnout. Takes less than 30 seconds to get 50,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zl pinhead lz Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I had no problems getting the skill chain, I got around 200k+ on one of these maps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TehJofus Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 why are people struggling with this Shockingly, not everyone is good at racing games. Who knew?

OctagonQontrol Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 This. So, airport with traction control off, and just e brake drift in circles? I tend to do it other method: TCS off, STM off, manual gears. Hit 2nd gear and just yank the steering left & right; car will start sliding and by controlling the throttle, you can slide endleslly swerving left & right. Near the docks there are a bucketload of pylons as well; kill them while sliding / drifting and you should get 50 to 120K in under 60 seconds easily.

Tassie Tiger Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Another easy way to get a 50,000 skill chain is on the "acquire the cuda- pt 2" using the Dodge Charger 15... This is where I got it as well. I suck at racing games. Before this race my best chain was 7,000. I wasn't even trying to get the 50,000 chain. I just assumed it would be my last achievement and that I'd try for it once I got everything else. I was shocked when it popped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some air overtakes and you should be over 50,000 around the time you hit the first major right turn I definitely suggest this too I was getting so mad getting close so many times on other races and just driving around Then I ran this race and had to stop my car completely to make sure it popped before I continued. I had like 70k after a tiny portion of the race and I got a few more that would have been over 50k later. Really easy this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupaKev10 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I did in on the beach front road by the garage. If you drive from the garage to the other end of the map on the wrong side of the road getting loads of near misses you'll exceed what is needed, it did take me a few attempts but was by far the easiest method for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHoodedPsycho Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Easy way I got it was at the Nice Docks in the McLaren MP1 but any good car would work. Hope this helps someone This is from the Full game, but it works for this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps someone This is from the Full game, but it works for this too. This method works perfect for me. I've been practicing at the stage where you need to destroy 100 boards for a few minutes and achievement unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamodux Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Best and easiest is veyron, traction control off at airport. 1.2 million for 1 drift, gave up as got bored! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Testament Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yep, airport and traction control off is what did it for me. I could really only get 25K in races, but went up and down the airport. Got 250K and stopped after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twigg4075 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I finally got this the other day after replaying the track mentioned by the OP over and over. I barely cracked it with 57k. What was strange was that I could've sworn I scored way higher than that much earlier in the game. Well, I just checked one of my automatically uploads from the game and sure enough one of the videos was from when you race on the golf course where you have to beat the 'Cuda. Also, because uploading XB1 videos is apparently a huge pain, you'll just have to take my word for it. The video was labeled "Skillzilla" and I ended up with 120,785 points yet no cheevo. Here's a screensshot I took of the video upload:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v95/bears54/Screenshot_2015-04-13-12-58-47_zpstdybdxkc.png Edited April 13, 2015 by Twigg4075 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
