Special thanks/credits go out to GlennThomas for making the banner, to benjamin1802 (from this site), to oHiTMaNz and Masajatsu (Xbox360 Achievement sister site) and to xSUPERxGTx (Youtube) for letting me use their video's and to Shaun-Bhoy-95 for helping me with the online trophies as well as finding out that the online trophies are boostable.


Step 1: Showdown Tour

The Showdown Tour is basically the career mode in this game. You work your way up from tier 1 which is Pro, to tier 4 which is Legend. Complete the first race to get the Welcome to the show trophy. Try in this race to win without using boost to get the Ego Boost trophy. Do the race again and use a full boost meter till it runs empty for the Hard Charger trophy. Keep on completing events to unlock new events and don’t go to the next race until you made first place. For every different type of event there’s at least one easy trophy tied to it and the races get harder as you move on so you’re gonna want to get as many of those out of the way as early as possible. As soon as you get a prompt for a crashback replay, hit and watch it for the Crash-Bang-Wallop trophy. Also invest your hard earned money in upgrading a car fully for the You’ve Created A Monster trophy and keep buying cars until you have 15 for the Gonna Need A Bigger Garage trophy. Buy a Lafayette Eulogy as soon as it’s available and use it in every rampage event to get the Rust In Pieces trophy and try to knock the Wrecker trophy out of the way during this process. For every tier final you get a trophy and once you ran through the entire Showdown Tour and became first in every race you will get the Bronze!, Silver! and Gold! trophies at once.

The trophies that you will get at the end of this step are:

Welcome To The Show
Ego Boost
Hard Charger
Balletic
Burst The Bubble
Don’t Push Me
Huntsman
Jack Of All Trades
Zero to Hero
Comeback King
Showdown Tour
Mixed Grill
Crash-Bang-Wallop
Gonna Need A Bigger Garage
Rust In Pieces
Stylin’ And Profilin’
Survivor
Wrecker
You’ve Created A Monster
Pro
All Star
Champion
Legend
Bronze!
Silver!
Gold!

Step 2: Joyride

Go to Joyride from the main menu. You can choose from 2 compounds, which basically are free style area’s each of which has 3 zones. Complete all the indicated missions in every zone and on each compound. Although the game suggests otherwise, I recommend starting with the Yokohama compound because I found those missions a little easier and therefore more suitable to get familiar with the tasks. For each compound you get a bronze trophy when you complete 50% of the missions and a silver trophy once you complete 100%. On top of that you get an extra silver trophy for completing both. During your Yokohama missions in the second zone of the compound, complete the Donut King mission for the Mmmm Donuts trophy. On your runs for the missions keep an eye out for the “hidden packages” which are displayed as Dirt Showdown logo’s. Once you collect all of the hidden packages you get the bronze Treasure Hunter trophy. They are fairly easy to find, but if you're having a hard time finding them, use the video in the trophy guide below.

The trophies that you will get at the end of this step are:

Dock Worker
London Calling
Daredevil
Hoonzilla
Hoonigan
Treasure Hunter

Step 3: Online

First of all, all of the online trophies can be boosted in private online matches. That being said note that they aren’t that hard to obtain so you might wanne try them the legit way to get more fun out of it. The only exception to that rule might be the Loot Carrier trophy, which will be hard to obtain in a public room. Find a friend to challenge eachother for the No Turning Back, Beat It and Running the Show trophies. The latter one you will probably have to boost since you need a +10 winning streak over your friend (unless your friend really sucks at this game of course). Keep playing online events to gain fans/XP as every 10 levels you get a trophy up till level 30. The other online trophies are pretty self explanatory.

The trophies that you will get at the end of this step are:

No Turning Back
Beat It
Running The Show
Team Awesome
Loot Carrier
Showdown Haulage co.
Checkpoint King
Household Name
Rising Star
Showdown Superstar

Step 4: Clean-Up

Go to multiplayer in your main menu, then pick Splitscreen. Complete a race in splitscreen to obtain the Bi-Winning trophy. For any trophies that you didn’t obtain after all this, play online games or Showdown Tour games to (earn money to) get them. The trophies you would most likely have left would be Showdown Showroom, Hitman, Money Maker and Max Power.

[PS3T Would Like to Thank robinworldwide for This Roadmap]



Platinum Trophy
Achieve all other Trophies (5) 

Get every other trophy in the game.

Balletic
Complete a clean run in a Head 2 Head event 

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.

Video by oHiTMaNz

Bi-Winning
Complete a Splitscreen event (3) 

Go to multiplayer in the main menu and select splitscreen. Simply complete a race and the trophy is yours.

Burst the Bubble
Be in 1st place during each elimination period in an Eliminator event (3) 

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.

Crash-Bang-Wallop - What a Video
View a Crashback replay (2) 

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.

Demolition!
Wreck your first opponent in a Rampage event 

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!

Don't Push Me
Get the First Blood bonus in a Knock Out event 

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.

Huntsman
Win a Smash Hunter event 

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.

Jack of All Trades
Complete a Race Off, Rampage and Head 2 Head event 

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.

No Turning Back
Send a Challenge to a Friend (2) 

After you complete a race, no matter what kind, you will be given the option to send your result as a challenge to someone on your PSN friend's list. However it has to be a friend who also played Dirt Showdown or you won't be able to send it.

Pro
Achieve a podium in the Pro final 

Pro is the first tier of the Showdown Tour. Get first, second or third places in races to open new ones and eventually you will get to the final. In this final once again get first, second or third place and you'll get the trophy.

Zero to Hero
Dominate all sectors during the final lap in a round of a Domination event  

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.

Comeback King
Be in last place and then earn a podium in the double points period of a Rampage event in the Showdown Tour (5) 

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.

Showdown Tour
Complete a Showdown Tour event in each location 

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

Mixed Grill
Pull off an Insane T-Bone in Rampage 

A T-bone crash is when you hit another car in the side. Do this at full speed/boost and you'll be awarded an insane T-bone crash to net you this trophy.

Welcome to the Show
Complete your first Showdown Tour event 

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.

Gonna Need a Bigger Garage
Own 15 vehicles (2) 

See Showdown Showroom trophy.

Ego Boost
Win a Race-Off event without boosting 

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.

Hard Charger
Use a full tank of boost in one go without crashing in a Race-Off event 

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.

All Star
Achieve a podium in the All Star final (3) 

All Star is the second tier of the Showdown Tour. Get first, second or third places in races to open new ones and eventually you will get to the final. In this final once again get first, second or third place and you'll get the trophy.

Champion
Achieve a podium in the Champion final 

Champion is the third tier of the Showdown Tour. Get first, second or third places in races to open new ones and eventually you will get to the final. In this final once again get first, second or third place and you'll get the trophy.

Team Awesome
Win an Online Team event (2) 

Go to multiplayer in the main menu and select Team events. Join any given event and make sure your team wins to obtain this trophy.

Treasure Hunter
Collect all 100 Hidden Packages in Joyride (1) 

In the main menu go to Joyride. There are two locations, Battersea and Yokohama, each of which consists of 3 area's. In these locations, which are basically free style area's, there are hidden "packages" which show as a Dirt Showdown logo. Collect all of them in both area's to unlock this trophy. The video's below show the locations of all hidden packages in each area and in one go.

Rust in Pieces
Wreck 20 vehicles in the Lafayette Eulogy 

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.

Beat it!
Accept and beat a Friend's Challenge 

Get a friend to send you a challenge as described in the No Turning Back trophy and beat it in one of the given 3 tries.

Bronze!
Complete the Showdown Tour with at least a Bronze in every event 

See Gold! trophy.

Showdown Showroom
Own every vehicle in the game (1) 

You can buy a new vehicle when you start a race. When you are in the car select menu scroll all the way to the right to find cars for purchase. Note that there's not always a new car to purchase though as you have to unlock new cars by completing events first.

Note: There have been reports of people not getting this trophy even though they've bought all the cars in the game. The only known solution to this issue as of now is to delete your game/save data and play through the whole Showdown Tour again. I advise to make a backup of your save file before you buy you're 30th car.

Dock Worker
Complete 50% of the Yokohama Compound Missions 

See Hoonzilla trophy.

Hitman
Achieve all hit types in Rampage (2) 

This one sounds easy but proves to be rather difficult. It has to be done in a Rampage event and is cumulative, so it doesn't have to be done in one race. There are 11 different ways to damage an opponent in this game, most of which are pretty straightforward. The "Overhead", "Headshot" and "Low blow" crashes are likely the most challenging ones as you have to hit the other car respectively on the roof, front and bottom while the other car is laying on its side. These are easiest done in splitscreen and the method shown in the video below can be used for all three kinds. The different types of crashes are;

1. Head on
2. Shunt
3. Side swipe
4. T-Bone
5. Bash
6. Slam
7. Strike
8. Barge
9. Overhead
10. Headshot
11. Low blow

There is no way of checking which ones you got ingame so I recommend making a checklist.

London Calling
Complete 50% of the Battersea Compound Missions 

See Daredevil trophy.

Loot Carrier
Hold the loot for 2 minutes in Smash & Grab (7) 

As stated in the description, get the loot in a Smash and Grab event and hold on to it during a race for 2 minutes. This CAN be boosted in private online matches!

Stylin' and Profilin'
Score 300,000 points in a Trick Rush event in the Showdown Tour 

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.

Mmmm Donuts!
Complete the Donut King Mission in the Yokohama Construction Site area 

In the main menu go to Joyride and then pick the Yokohama compound. The Donut King mission is in the second area of the compound which unlocks after completing 20 missions in the first. Do a double donut in and out the indicated building and under the trailer to complete this mission.

Money Maker
Earn a total of $1,000,000 

Earn a total of 1 million during your total career. This trophy is cumulative and not that much of a grind. You should be (almost) there if you complete the Showdown Tour and get to level 30 online.

Showdown Haulage Co.
Drop the Flag off 5 times in a round of Transporter 

In a Transporter round get the flag and then drive it to the finish location as indicated. Repeat this 4 more times in the same race to obtain the trophy. This CAN be boosted in private online matches!

Silver!
Complete the Showdown Tour with at least a Silver in every event 

See Gold! trophy.

Showdown Superstar
Reach Fanbase Level 30 Online (7) 

Instead of experience points you earn fans for completing online events in Dirt Showdown. You get more fans for good results. Simply obtain enough fans/XP to eventually reach level 30. This CAN be boosted in private online matches!

Survivor
Survive for at least 2 minutes in a Hard Target event (1) 

In the survivor mode you are on your own as over time more and more cars will try to total you. You have to survive for 2 minutes or more to get this trophy. This will seem hard in the beginning but will be much easier once you get better cars or upgrade the weight of your car.

Video by oHiTMaNz

Household Name
Reach Fanbase Level 10 Online 

See Showdown Superstar trophy.

Wrecker
Achieve a 5x Wrecking Streak in Rampage (1) 

In a rampage event you have to total 5 cars in a row without getting wrecked yourself. This will seem hard in the beginning but will be much easier once you get better cars or upgrade the weight of your car. This trophy can be combined with Rust in Pieces trophy.

Video by benjamin1802

You've Created a Monster
Fully upgrade a vehicle (2) 

In the menu where you can pick a car, press to upgrade it. Buy all upgrades for power, weight and handling for that particular car.

Note: Some people have reported that instead of a silver trophy, they've received a gold trophy. After this the trophy won't synch to the PSN. This problem seems to appear only for people from the Australia/New Zealand area and at this moment there is no solution known for this issue.

Checkpoint King
Win a Speed Skirmish event (2) 

In a Speed Skirmish event you have to reach a certain amount of checkpoints after which a random finishing point appears. Make sure to be at the finish first to obtain this trophy. This CAN be boosted in private online matches!

Daredevil
Complete 100% of the Battersea Compound Missions 

Simply complete all 75 Battersea missions for this trophy. These missions can be found in the main menu under "Joyride". See Hoonigan trophy description for tips.

Hoonzilla
Complete 100% of the Yokohama Compound Missions 

Simply complete all 75 Yokohama missions for this trophy. These missions can be found in the main menu under "Joyride". See Hoonigan trophy description for tips.

Legend
Achieve a podium in the Legend final 

Legend is the fourth tier of the Showdown Tour. Get first, second or third places in races to open new ones and eventually you will get to the final. In this final once again get first, second or third place and you'll get the trophy.

Running the Show
Dominate a Friend in Challenge mode (8) 

To obtain this trophy you have to have a +10 in your tally over your friend. From the start you have to beat 10 challenges in a row to get there. This trophy can easily be boosted. Keep in mind though that if your friend got 10 straight wins over you, you're gonna have to get 20 straight wins over him to net you your trophy after.

Hoonigan
Complete all Joyride Missions in both locations 

Simply complete both the Battersea and Yokohama missions for this trophy. These missions can be found in the main menu under "Joyride". The missions consist of doing drifts, jumps, donuts and spinning. The difference between donuts and spinning is that the latter one must be done on the spot while donuts you have to do around objects. For me it was easiest to initiate a donut by tapping the handbrake. Spinning was easiest by pressing both the gas and normal brake at the same time, steer in one direction and then let go of the brake.

Max Power
Fully upgrade all vehicles (1) 

In the menu where you can pick a car, press to upgrade it. Buy all upgrades for power, weight and handling for that particular car. Rinse and repeat this process for all 30 available cars to get this trophy.

Rising Star
Reach Fanbase Level 20 Online (1) 

See Showdown Superstar trophy.

GOLD!
Complete the Showdown Tour and win Gold in every event 

The Showdown Tour is the career mode in this game. You will unlock this trophy by getting first place in every single one of the events. It can be obtained on every difficulty.
