How to unlock the Tornado achievement

    As https://www.trueachievements.com/Zach+Cooper+FBI.htm said - this game is dead for it's online and doing a ranked match with a buddy is VERY easy.

    This would not have been found without the help of Peter Slocombe

    Now here is how you get this achievement with ease:
    Start the game and go into "Multiclash" - this is the name they gave the Multiplayer mode.
    Select the mode of connection (XBox live is probably what you would be using) and have one person create a Backlot battle match and the other people join that match.

    Now, for the track - select "Overdrive 1"

    When the race starts, turn around and go the opposite direction until the track turns. Still facing the opposite direction of the track, you should see two ally ways - one with the wood/barrels/cones/etc and one that looks like a real ally way.

    What you want to do is drive down one ally way and then drift into the one next to it. There are plenty of items in both ally ways to keep your string alive, and enough room to ensure you can safely drift into them. It is best if this is done one at a time to avoid accidental crashing/string stealing.

    Also you can use your Nitro boost while going down the ally ways to earn

    You will gain another nitro boost for every 20 string increment (20/40/60/etc.).

    Another note - after you get your 200+ string done, your buddy can ram into you, steal your string and gain
    Stuntman: IgnitionPlugged InThe Plugged In achievement in Stuntman: Ignition worth 63 pointsSteal a 100,000+ point string in any ranked Backlot Battle


    Also, you DO NOT have to finish the race. After obtaining the 200x string, you can just let the time run out and you will earn the achievement. All of the multiplayer achievements in this game will pop after the end of the race.

    If you have any questions about this solution, please feel free to PM me.

    guycarbBoxes are your best friend for this achievement! Going forward through the Overdrive 1 course, about half way through, you'll pass 3 stacks of 3 barrels, stop or turn right after the 3rd stack. Follow this alley back then hang a left and you'll find a hanger with 6-7 boxes on the left. Then do as has been mentioned above; LT & RT back and forth. I managed to get a 220 times multiplier... took some time to get the rhythm right but both me and my partner managed to get Tornado, Plugged In and Nitro Head within 40 mins using this method!

    KINDZ DROCK420Amazing tip with the boxes. I was worried about my last 4 multiplayer achievements. Within minutes I had unlocked Tornado, Plugged In, Nitro Head, and Stealer alone double boxing. Thought for a second I may not be able to finish it off alone. Thanks so much for the tips. You’ve saved me lots of time and pain.

    My RingtonesThis game is complete garbage. It flat out DOESN'T REGISTER HALF THE STRINGS. I CAN'T EVEN GET A HUNDRED WITHOUT IT BEING RESET WHILE IM DOING A STRING

    You need at least one other person for the achievement, it is quite easy to find your friends/boosting partners in ranked matches since as of June 6th, 2009 I declare the online devoid of life.

    To get this you need to keep a stunt chain active until it passes the 200 mark, doing stunts like getting air, near misses and drifts will raise your stunt chain, you need to continue to do stunts consecutively to keep the chain growing. Some levels work better for this than others, I found Overdrive 2 and Aftershock 2 worked well, but experiment with the different levels to find one you like the best.

    If driving around the track is too tough for you, you can find a large group of objects to get near misses on and keep driving back and forth passed them while using your nitro to keep your speed and chain up. Once your chain rises above 200 you can finish the event or let the time run out, even if you fail at the end of the match the achievement should unlock

    I personally used the first turn on Overdrive 2 to get my achievement, on the second lap the route changes and becomes a long stretch with objects filling. Once I got to the end of the alley I would do a tight handbrake turn/drift and then slam on my nitro to get back in the alley before my chain expired. Sports cars tend to work better since they accelerate faster and turn sharper.

    You will also likely unlock the achievement "Nitro Head" at the same time since you get a new nitro bonus with ever 20 counts on your chain.

    DrLetoPicardI also did it on Overdrive 2, but later in the level. There's a part where there's two different paths you can take with a thin scene backdrop between the two paths. The left path has a bumper to put you up on 2 wheels and a car parked further along. You can easily do a circular loop around the scene backdrop, and there are many small objects that get your string up quickly. You don't even need nitrous to keep your score up.

    As a note, my boosting partner parked and just watched me. When we were near the end of the timer he quickly rammed me. With my 250+ streak it was more than sufficient to give him the "Plugged In" achievement for stealing a 100,000+ score streak.

    As a last note, we both failed the scene since neither of us finished, but the achievement still unlocks.
