How to unlock the Basic Bronze achievement

    If you were discouraged from trying to get this because of the gold one, fear not, the bronze times/scores are mostly pretty easy given the right cars.

    Using the Huracán (full elite and drift tuned, including spoiler and drift tyres) for anything involving drift score (Drift Contest, Drift Trial, Touge), and the Beck Kustoms F132 for anything speed related (Sprint, Circuit, Time Trial), I was getting bronze on most events first try even with a couple of scrapes (i.e. crashes or losing a drift by hitting the barrier).

    I found the most annoying events to be the Touge and Drift Contests, due to other racers getting in the way. However, they sometimes prove helpful by pushing your drift a bit further or to use as a buffer to avoid a scrape.
    Regarding the former, don’t worry about being in first place all of the time, the drifts are more important and as long as you’re at least middle of the pack, you should be more than capable of winning.

    A couple notes on drifting if you’re new to it, or new to max drift tuning:
    - Feather the gas
    - If you’re concerned you’re going to hit something or need to straighten up, LET GO of everything with maybe a little flicking of the LS
    - If you’ve got a wide bend, initiate the brake early to maximise the drift, the longer it goes on, the faster the points climb!
    - Using nitrous at about the halfway mark can extend your drift by a couple thousand points


    These are a couple notes from my experience since no one had a guide here.
    If there’s any other tips you think I should mention, or want me to try go into more detail, comment below.

    Best of luck!

    Need For Speed Gold Medal Guide
    Hello everyone and welcome to another guide.

    This achievement is by no means easy and will test your patience so let's get started. This is by far one of the hardest completions in the Xbox One/PS4 era of games. Really pleased to get this done.

    Firstly massive credit to waszkagg from PSN Profiles. I don't think I would've been able to complete this achievement without the car build. I tried a few other builds online and couldn't get the hang of them. The only change I made to the base build was equipping the Action Nitrous 15lb Capacity on the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 (2015).

    The source of car builds can be found here: https://psnprofiles.com/guide/5618-need-for-speed-prestige-a...

    First off, it's best to be in a private lobby as you will not encounter other players. To do that, press cn_back -> Settings -> Game Settings -> Play Alone. I did all of these events using only manual gears for both the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR 2.8 (1973) and the Lamborghini Huracan LP 610-4 (2015).

    Tips and Tricks
    When going after this, I recommend you only do all the races or drifting first before trying to get gold on the different event types, as you’ll be more in tune with the car I found. Also if you're having trouble with a certain event, recommend taking a break and going back to it later. I had a lot of trouble with Torque Of The Town and Mental Block.

    Gold Medal Notes
    In the following section, there is an in-depth overview of each event with what I found challenging, and what I did to overcome those challenges.

    Overall I'm really pleased to get this completed, this took me over 3 months of trying on and off to complete this. If you have any other thoughts on what could be added be sure to let me know, open to feedback and suggestions. I haven't been this happy completing a game since Gears of War 3.

    If you're still having trouble feel free to use my walkthrough video of all the events as a reference.


    With all that said, I hope this helps you out and good luck. Thanks again!
