How to unlock the Its no sidecar achievement in Battlefield 3 - Definitive Guide

Load up one of the four new maps using the game mode CTF. Each base has a few motorcycles scattered around, so it won't be a problem finding one to ride. You won't need to have a second player driving you nor do you need to be moving at the time of the kill so this achievement is not as tricky as it sounds.

There are a few different tactics which I recommend. The first is to camp your own flag. Make sure you switch positions on the bike to the back seat and equip the gun you're most proficient with and wait. It shouldn't be long before any enemy coming to collect your flag falls into your line of sight. Execute and achievement unlocked.

Another sound method is equip your engineer class with a Javelin and find some high ground. Target one of the enemies motorcycles driving around once you have a lock, fire. The bikes are weak and you just earned yourself an easy kill. Remember to use caution as you don't want to fall victim to your own tactic.

Last there is nothing like riding shotgun with a shotgun. If you have a buddy who is capable, let him drive while you sit on the back with some slugs. It doesn’t take long to find an enemy on foot and if you can get close enough they will drop in one shot.

Or you can ride into a flag on conquest, switch seats and waste anyone trying to take it back. Personally I notched mine up by riding right up to a camping sniper on Nebandan and shooting him in the back of the head with my G53 :)

This is glitchy, because I got a stinger double kill whilst on a bike, moving and with a driver :) and it didn't unlock

I'm going to try loading one up with C4 and then do a bit of seat-switching-kamikaze, see if that works.

I started as an engineer and dropped mines on the main road and then grabbed a bike and headed to an area with lots of cover - switched positions to the passenger spot - waited a few minutes for someone to hit my mine and bingo - achievement popped

I’m still needing this achievement plus few others. If anyone needs this or other achievements or guns or dog tags, I have a server open. Send me a message online TCB77TLC

Was just going to post the same method of using a Javelin.

I got my achievement on CTF, went behind the other base and waited on the hill for someone to get on a bike.
Have also done it a few times since where I just pulled up on a hill and got 3 different bikes as they went past, even took out a tank.

A lot of fun killing people on bikes using the Javelin, one admin kicked me for a double kill :(

An easy way to get this is to lay tank mines in high traffic areas of the map, once done, hop on a bike and wait for a kill.

It counts if your on the passenger position or driving. C4 and claymores also work, just make sure your on the bike when it gets a kill.

Alot easier than getting a gun kill, good luck.

I got by luck this way. It is very easy to get mine kills in Endgame. The bikes go too fast to spot mines.

Easiest way to get this I feel is to start up any capture the flag match and grab a motorcycle from around your flag then drive it into the enemy flag area, hit X to switch to the back seat and try to mow an enemy down with your main weapon before they kill you; should be at least one person camping near the flag at any given point.


...or you can actually try to get it as they intended and have someone drive you around...but that takes forever most times.

Not as cool as a sidecar, but you can hop on the back while a buddy drives. You have full range of motion and can turn around completely, or face the front. Just get a kill while on the back part of the dirtbike. You can get this by yourself as well, hop on the bike by pressing , then drive to wherever, preferably near a flag/objective. Press to move to the back portion of the bike and start shooting.
