    The gold wristband will be handed to you at level 500. This might sound like alot but its really not. By doing all other achievements you will be way over 500. First theres completing the game and then theres mastering 6 Championships (in total around 250-300 races).

    Then theres around 200- 250 rival events. And then theres the 200 multiplayer events. By doing playground games you will at each location (one road trip location consists of one game of infection and one game of king) earn a minimum of Three levels (3 * 100 = 300 levels just im MP) youll earn around 3000 xp for infection game and around 20000 xp for king games and then theres a bonus for your finish.

    So basically just do Everything else in the game and you will have this achievement.

    GamePadZebbyThe 480 races should theoretically be enough to hit level 500. I am at 171 races and level 195. Since the online in all forms is now closed I thought it was worth stating that no monotony or repetition of races should be necessary. This doesn't take into account the Bucket List

    In order to net this achievement you have to reach level 500. First you want to master every event (all 480) with the different groups. If you still shy of getting to level 500 just start doing the online for the game cause you'll get XP for completing races either doing road trips or the playground games. If you're still shy of hitting 500 just keep replaying the Horizon Finale race over and over again. I'm using the BMW fully maxed out and its taking about 8 minutes each time. Good Luck with it cause this games is now an ultimate grind and a lot harder than FH1. This is where I have my source. Someone on the site was using a modding program to see.:

    SANTAGATALevel 150 unlocks the bronze!! I think this math is very incorrect!

    sirbradenwalkerKing mode is possibly glitched. Giving out 25k-35k per match...while infection only gives out a couple K. Going up 3+ levels per match makes it pretty quick.

    Bronze is 150 on 360, Gold is 500.
    Let's not get X1 and 360 confused, people...different achievement lists...different games.

    I say take advantage of the king mode right now before they patch it.
    Get the MP out of the way and then worry about those 480 races.

    If you’re psychotic like me then I have a 2024 solution for you to get this.

    With all online functionality down, the quickest way to get credits and XP is playing the Horizon Finale Race.

    Turn your difficulty to Insane, and use hypercars. The AI is so busted on this track that you will win without even trying too hard.
    You will get 2nd place sometimes but you only lose 1,000 to 1,500 XP/Cred so you won’t even notice.

    Braking: ABS Off
    Steering: Normal
    Traction Control: Off
    Shifting: Manual (You receive 4K less in automatic)
    Driving Line: Off
    Rewind: Off
    Opponent Difficulty: Insane

    Drive the Lamborghini Venono and have it maxed out.
    The venono has excellent traction so you will hardly spin. Using the Hennessy is sketch but your choice.

    With the following set, you should receive 51,840 credits per race. For XP, you should receive roughly 29K - 33K.

    One race is roughly 6.5 minutes. Plus the 2 minutes of loading. You’re looking at about 8.5 minutes for about 31,000 XP.

    If you race in manual, then you can receive 55,432 credits instead.

    On average, you will get 31,000 XP per race.
    Level 500 is 5,000,000 XP.
    500 levels is roughly 166 races.
    If you’re level 200 then will you need 96 races.

    I am close to receiving the Worthy of a Sultan Achievement where you need $20 million dollar worth of cars and upgrades in your garage.

    I will expand into that soon.
