Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Burnout trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Burnout
Fill the Nitrous bar then use it all in one go without hitting anything

Another one that should come naturally. Your nitrous bar is the small light blue bar to the left of your speedo, wait for it to fill up where it will then start flashing, get to any long straight, of which there are plenty in the game and use the Nitrous by holding Cross.

As long as you use all of the Nos without touching anything, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Wall of Steel trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Wall of Steel
Deploy a Road Block which then gets hit by a Racer

The first opportunity you will have at using a road block is in the event Block Buster in the Grand Ocean Coast list.

Start the event then press Right to deploy a roadblock.

Providing the racer hits the roadblock, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Shock to the System trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Shock to the System
Get a hit with an EMP

This should come naturally, progress through career mode until you can use the EMP, wait for a racer / cop to be in front of you, preferably on a straight then stay in range for a few seconds whilst the EMP charges up and locks on.

As soon as the red square centralises on the target, the EMP will fire, unlocking your Trophy.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Hit Confirmed trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Hit Confirmed
Get a hit with a Spike Strip

Spike strips become available very early in career mode, get in front of either a cop or a racer, lining yourself up so they’re behind you and fairly close.

This is the time to deploy your spike strip, as soon as you are successful in hitting another car with the spikes, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Aerial Assistance trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Aerial Assistance
Call in a Helicopter which then hits a Racer with a Spike Strip

Helicopters are only available when playing as a cop and around a third of the way into the career.

It is purely luck based whether or not a racer will hit the spike strip that is deployed by the helicopter, but for me they hit roughly 1 in 3 times of deployment so you will get it done soon enough.

You will get a message over the radio reporting a confirmed spike hit, where your Trophy will then unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Denied trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Denied
First Jammer use that affects a Cop

Play through the career mode where you will soon enough unlock the Jammer. Once it is available.

You will need to be in a cop pursuit then as soon as a cop is close to you, activate the Jammer and as long as it affects a cop, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit In the Zone trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

In the Zone
Use a full Turbo without hitting anything

You will unlock a turbo midway through the game, they’re essentially a more powerful version of Nitrous so find yourself a good straight bit of road, activate your turbo ensuring you don’t hit anything.

This is easiest if you are in first place as trying to get pass racers, cops and traffic can make this one a challenge to not hit anything.

Once you have used your full turbo without hitting anything at all, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Power Spike trophy
PlayStation Silver Trophy

Power Spike
Spike strip a car that is targeting you with an EMP

This can be done as either racer or a cop as they both have spike strips. Keep racing until someone gets a lock on you with an EMP, signified by an on screen message and a red square trying to centralise on the back of your vehicle.

Use your rear view mirror to line yourself up then deploy a spike strip before the  EMP can hit you.

If you are successful, you will stop the EMP lock on as well as unlocking your Trophy in the process.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Eye of the Needle trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Eye of the Needle
As a Racer, drive through an undamaged Road Block without hitting it

This unlocked for me whilst I was driving down a road in a pursuit as a racer with no road block in sight which was a bit strange (06-Nov-2020 patch 1.01).

However, to get this done if they have patched it, be a racer where a cop will eventually deploy a road block in front of you.

The trick is, to be in first place meaning no other racer has damaged the roadblock then going through fairly slowly either on the sides of the roadblock or in between 2 cop cars either on the left or right side of the roadblock itself.

Once you have successfully passed through a roadblock without touching it, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Imprezive trophy
PlayStation Silver Trophy

Imprezive
Accumulate 2,000 yds of drift in a single event using the Subaru Impreza WRX STI

The Subaru Impreza WRX STI is a car found in the Sports Series so load up an event that accommodates this series such as the Title Fight Duel in the Big Timber Forest area, ensure you choose the Suabru Impreza WRX STI then start the event ensuring you drift as much as possible.

In order to initiate a drift, get some good speed up then just as you start turning into the corner tap the Square button then feather L3 either left or right to keep the drift going.

Try not to be aggressive with your steering otherwise you will skid out. When you do a drift you will get a yard counter in the bottom right of the screen to the left of your speedo.

Keep a mental note of how many yards you have drifted then if you feel you haven’t done enough, do a 180 before the finish line and run the course again in reverse. You can do this as many times as needed until you manage 2,000 yards total.

As soon as you have racked up 2,000 yards + of drifting, cross the finish line where your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Flight of the Bumblebee trophy
PlayStation Silver Trophy

Flight of the Bumblebee
Win the ‘Muscle Reflex’ race in a Bee Yellow Chevrolet Camaro SS

The Muscle Reflex event is part of the Boulder Desert racer event section in the south east corner of the map and can be accessed early in the game, as can the Chevrolet Camaro SS.

Ensure the colour is Bee Yellow which is the 2nd colour you can select on the palette then go off and win the race.

Once you cross the finish line in the Camaro SS with the Bee Yellow colour, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Shaken Not Stirred trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Shaken, Not Stirred
Win any Hot Pursuit in an Aston Martin

Play through career until you are able to use the an Aston Martin in a Hot Pursuit, this can be doe either as a racer or a cop.

Ensure you win the event by either first place as a racer or by taking down every racer if you’re playing as a cop to unlock your Trophy.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Wet in the Vette trophy
PlayStation Bronze Trophy

Wet in the Vette
Drive any Corvette in the wet

Play through the game until you unlock the event Under Pressure which is an Interceptor in Fox Lair Pass.

Ensure you choose the Corvette and start the event. Once the event has loaded up take down the target, completing the event which will unlock your Trophy.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Godzilla trophy
PlayStation Silver Trophy

Godzilla
Get any medal in ‘Run to the Hills’ driving the Nissan GT-R SpecV without using any weapons

Play through Career until the Run To The Hills event unlock in the East Gorge Canyon, your objective here is to wreck all 5 racers without using a single weapon which may sound daunting but is doable.

You are in a very powerful, strong vehicle so use it as a battering ram, going after the leaders in the race.

I say that because if you get caught up trying to take down the mush in last place, you’ll seriously struggle catching up and then taking down the leaders.

Once you have taken down all 5 racers without using a single weapon, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Iron Man trophy
PlayStation Silver Trophy

Iron Man
Get Distinction in a Hot Pursuit, Interceptor and Rapid Response using the Audi R8

Play through the game as a cop unlocking the events as you go.

You will, eventually unlock the Audi R8 for use which is a very powerful but fairly weak vehicle so you will need to make good use of your weapons to help you get your 3 distinctions which can be done on the following events.

  1. Hot Pursuit
    Load up the Run to the Hills stage which is found in East Gorge Canyon and will see you take on and subsequently takedown 5 racers.
  2. Interceptor
    For this one it’s best to load up the Hang Tough course in the Grand Ocean Coast where you will have a strict time limit to take down a tricky racer.
  3. Rapid Response
    Start the event Guided Missile which is found in the Carson Ridge Reservoir which will see you need to go from point a to point b in record time. This is definitely the hardest of the 3 events as any damage to your vehicle will incur time penalties so drive fast but cautiously, taking your time to perfect the course.
 

Once you have earnt a distinction across all 3 events in the Audi R8, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Electrically Charged trophy
PlayStation Silver Trophy

Electrically Charged
Bust the 918 Spyder using an EMP in ‘Porsche Patrol’

Porsche Patrol is a Hot Pursuit event in the Memorial Valley section towards the south east of the career map.

I recommend you hit the Porsche 918 Spyder several times to lower the cars’ health then get a lock on with your EMP until it fires.

As long as it’s the EMP that takes out the Porsche rather than any other method, your Trophy will unlock.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Snakebite in Black trophy
PlayStation Silver Trophy

Snakebite in Black
Spike a cop while driving a Black Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR or Ford Shelby GT500 Supersnake

A good event to get this done is the Unreasonable Force, Hot Pursuit in the Carson Ridge Reservoir. Load up ensuring you choose the For Shelby GT500 Super Snake in Black (it will have a red bumper but that’s fine).

Go through the event until a cop chase begins then line yourself up in front of a cop and release your spike strip.

As soon as the spikes hit the cop car your Trophy will unlock.

That’s the Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered Trophy Guide complete I hope it helps you through the game.

Got my platinum + 100% DLCs some days ago. I got the Biteback using a second account before I completed some cop races with my main account. Then it becomes easily to get. Thank you for your guide.
