STEP 1.0 Complete the Showdown Tour, getting trophies without using a Gamesave.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You must login or register to view this content. Welcome to the Show
Complete your first Showdown Tour event

Instruction: This will likely be the first trophy you'll get. Just enter the Showdown Tour from the main menu and finish a race. It doesn't matter in what place you finish.

You must login or register to view this content. Ego Boost
Win a Race-Off event without boosting

Instruction: This trophy is easiest obtained in the very first event in Miami on the Showdown Tour. Simply win a race without making use of your boost under the button.

You must login or register to view this content. Hard Charger
Use a full tank of boost in one go without crashing in a Race-Off event

Instruction: This trophy is easiest obtained in the very first event in Miami on the Showdown Tour. Your boost bar is displayed in blue in the right down corner of your screen. Make sure the boost meter is full and use it till it's all empty without hitting any cars or walls on your way.

You must login or register to view this content.

You must login or register to view this content. Demolition!
Wreck your first opponent in a Rampage event

Instruction: Enter a rampage event and look for a car with low health, which can be recognized by an almost empty red bar. Finish it off by crashing into the car and you will get this trophy!

You must login or register to view this content. Balletic
Complete a clean run in a Head 2 Head event

Instruction: Complete all the head-2-head challenges in one go without bumping into the walls. There is no time limit to this trophy other than the standard given 2 minutes in which you have to complete your run.

You must login or register to view this content.

You must login or register to view this content. Burst the Bubble
Be in 1st place during each elimination period in an Eliminator event

Instruction: Pick an eliminator event and stay in first place the whole race. The (slightly) hard part about this is getting to first place before the first eliminiation takes place. Hold boost right from the start and try to avoid colliding into other cars. Also it helps to cut corners as the AI tends to take corners very wide.

You must login or register to view this content. Don't Push Me
Get the First Blood bonus in a Knock Out event

Instruction: Get into a Knock Out event and be the first to push someone off the platform. Right after the start try to hang back in the middle for a bit and once you see other cars near the edge, crash into them with full boost. It's not hard and probably will come naturally during your playthrough.

Win a Smash Hunter event

Instruction: In a Smash Hunter event you have to complete a track and smash colored blocks on your way. In the middle of the screen it will be indicated what color you need to smash and following these prompts will naturally take you down the right direction on the track. Do this as fast as possible to win the event and get the trophy.

You must login or register to view this content. Jack of All Trades
Complete a Race Off, Rampage and Head 2 Head event

Instruction: This will come naturally as you run through the Showdown Tour. You don't have to win the events for the trophy, just participate and finish the races.

You must login or register to view this content. Zero to Hero
Dominate all sectors during the final lap in a round of a Domination event

Instruction: You have to be the fastest in all the sectors in the domination event. The key word here is FINAL lap. In the left of your screen you can see each sector. When you dominate the sector it'll become yellow. If you dominated a sector but lost domination in a later lap, you will NOT get the trophy. If you dominate all sectors but you don't beat your own domination targets in every sector of your FINAL lap, you will NOT get the trophy. The easiest way to obtain this is to make sure you don't dominate any of sectors going into the last lap, then in the last lap dominate all sectors.

Be in last place and then earn a podium in the double points period of a Rampage event in the Showdown Tour

Instruction: The double points period is the last 30 seconds of the rampage event. For the first minute and a half just do some minor damage to other players so you will be in last place, but not too far behind. In the last 30 seconds do as much damage as you can and keep a special eye on almost totalled cars because you get the most points for finishing them off.

You must login or register to view this content. Showdown Tour
Complete a Showdown Tour event in each location

Instruction: This will come naturally when you play through the Showdown Tour campaign. These are all the locations in Dirt Showdown:

- Miami
- San Francisco
- Yokohama
- Colorado
- Nevada
- Michigan
- Los Angeles
- Battersea (London)
- Tokyo
- Baja California

View a Crashback replay

Instruction: At times when you crash into someone there will be a prompt on your screen to press for the crashback replay. Do so and watch it fully to receive the trophy. Your best chance to get a crashback replay is in a rampage or knock out event. You will NOT get this trophy watching a replay with the button at a random time in the race.

You must login or register to view this content. Gonna Need a Bigger Garage
Own 15 vehicles

Instruction: This trophy will not unlock by a savegame, you gotta play through the Showdown Tour and buy at least 15 Cars.

You must login or register to view this content. Rust in Pieces
Wreck 20 vehicles in the Lafayette Eulogy

Instruction: The Lafayette Eulogy is a car that you unlock pretty early on in the game. Wreck 20 other cars using that particular car. This trophy is cumulative so it doesn't have to be done in one race. I suggest using it in a rampage event to combine it with the Wrecker trophy.

You must login or register to view this content. Stylin' and Profilin
Score 300,000 points in a Trick Rush event in the Showdown Tour

Instruction: The first time you encounter this event is in the second tier of the Showdown Tour. Try to do as many tricks as possible to quickly get a X3 multiplier and from there it won't be too difficult to get to 300.000 points.

Survive for at least 2 minutes in a Hard Target event
