Comments on the guide for Victory Lap in Rare Replay by eViL mOnKeY 270

37 4 17

You get this achievement for completing the 5 snapshots for RC Pro AM.
I found using the D-Pad instead of the thumb stick more precise for this game especially for the final snapshot.

Snapshot 1: Ammo Amass
Simply take your time and gather all the stars on your first lap, you should easily have enough time before the race ends.

Snapshot 2: 2500 point turn
You get points for just about anything you do. Stay with the other racers using items (by pressing b) and destroying them and you should get this with a few attempts.

Snapshot 3: Cruise Control 1
I found this to be the easiest, just try and keep towards the middle of the road.

Snapshot 4: Aim to Please
This can be a tricky one, i found the hardest thing was to win the race rather than landing the 5 missiles. You start the snapshot with a few missiles so slow down and try and get 2 or 3 done straight away. There is more missile ammo towards the end of the lap as stars on the ground. As soon as you get 5 done i recommend you keep your ammo for the last stretch and attempt to destroy your opponent vehicles right at the end to give yourself a better chance of winning.

Snapshot 5: Lap it Up
This is the hardest. The description is misleading, your are actually 2 laps down on your opponents and to complete this snapshot you need to overtake the racer in first place twice. As mentioned earlier i found using the D-Pad is vital for this track for the accuracy. The only other advice i can give is that you need to limit bashing into the side as this slows down your vehicle however you do not have to complete a flawless run.

For Snapshot 5 the description is correct, to be 1 lap down means you are over 1 lap behind the leader therefor overtaking them once will get you back on to the same lap and overtaking them again takes the lead

I highly recommend hitting the first place person when u pass him the first time. Helped me immensely.

Hitting the first car (always green I think) with a bomb will do the trick. :)

Snapshot 5 wasn't terrible. My only suggestion is try keeping hitting the walls to a minimum. That lost speed is key.

Snapshot #5 in this set of snapshots is my least favorite out of every snapshot in every game... I can't beat...

Snapshot #5: Rubberband

, focus on steering clean through the corners with the D-pad. Takes a couple of tries but it's not that hard.

Snapshot 4- Don't slow down to shoot people, the race is hard enough already, shoot them when they try to pass in front of you, more than likely, you will have plenty of opportunities to get 5 hits without risking slowing down in the beginning.

Snapshot 5- Pick up the letter "N" on the first lap, when you complete the words CHAMPION, the game rewards you with a permanent upgrade to your car.

Try to use the bomb to hit the green car, he will respawn immediately, so it doesn't slow him down very much, It will only give you a couple seconds, so don't sacrifice a couple seconds trying to hit him. try to get him, if you miss, keep flooring it.

Try not to hit the sides of the road and try not to take the corners wide. Cutting the inside of corners without hitting the wall will allow you to catch up the most quickly. I passed the green car for the second time in the S curve before the finish line on Lap 9 after about 50 varying failures ranging from "So F--king Close" to "Absolutely Pathetic".

Just keep trying, it's designed to make you want to give up. If you need inspiration, watch a video on youtube, I always find challenges easier when I see someone else do them.

Rewind is

. I suggested to rubberband

, which is the acceleration, so you can focus on just steering. No need to get a numb finger because you have to hold a trigger for several minutes.

There simply just isnt enough time even if u r flawless. A cheating device is the key...for ppl i know anyway.

Posted by millertyme12487 on 24 Dec 15 at 15:14

Using the D-pad definitely helped. Otherwise, staying off the walls is key.

Posted by Jonas512 on 10 Jan 16 at 17:02

I can vouch for the "tie down the trigger" method. I thought it would make me worse, as I like control of my car, but then I realized that once I could just focus my hands on the D-Pad, everything went so much more smoothly. I think you 100% HAVE to bomb the first place car to win, otherwise I couldn't get enough time in, and if you don't grab the "N" the first lap, restart. It makes a huge difference.

5 was the only one I didn't get first try blind. Just takes some tries (ended up <10, simply just try not to hit the wall and it's not so tight that you need to hit the green car to win and you don't need say 7 perfect laps, just good ones will do. This was the easiest group of snapshots for me anyway.

The only thing misleading about five is your description of it. To anyone who actually knows racing terminology what you said will confuse them. You are one lap down and have to pass the leader twice in order to be in first.

@Twobby Surely the point of solutions is to help people who aren't familiar with certain terminologies. I believe i make it pretty clear what you have to do.

With enough practice (~20mins) I passed 1st on the back straight and pulled away on the final corners... seems impossible until you start getting the track down. I didn't use any bomb site or anything and did it no problem (~30 mins max

Posted by adamrulz on 09 Jun 17 at 01:56

Held down my RT button with one of my hair ties and beat #5 on my 3rd or 4th try after. Definitely do that with a hair tie or rubber band and just focus on steering.

Posted by BadGirlRyleigh on 02 Nov 19 at 01:57

Took TOO MANY tires to get the final snapshot. D-pad definitely was the way to go, but what a BITCH!
