Master the Repair Power-up

How to unlock the Medic! achievement in Blur - Definitive Guide

To get this achievement you need to,

Repair 500 blocks of health
Repair on damage critical and just before a power up hits
Win a race on damage critical whilst carrying a repair in single player
Win a race without wrecking but repair more blocks of health than your car has

Repairing 500 blocks of health will come as you progress through the single player as long as you pick up health whenever you need one. Repairing on damage critical, which means you only have one red bar of health left can be tricky, get a repair and drive ahead of a CPU, (on medium) they should start using shunts and bolts, wait until you have one bar of health. Note: make sure you have critical health, your controller will start to slowly vibrate and your health bar will be dark red and your screen should also get darker. If the CPU picks up a shunt wait until the shunt is close to you in your rear view mirror then repair, if they pick up a bolt (and you see them pick it up) chances are they will fire it right away so repair immediatly.) To win a race with a repair and on critical (see above note) health can be hard, I suggest going to Amboy route 66, the CPU's use lots of shocks on this map, so if you are in first you can purposfully run into them until you go down to critical health. Switch it to easy so you get a good lead so that no stray power ups can hit you, also carry a shield just incase of shunts. To win a race without wrecking but repairing more blocks of health than your car has is quite easy, you will get this if you use repairs frequently whenever you are damaged use one. When your health is orange use a repair and then repeat at least one more time. (the tracker will pop up in the bottom corner to tell you when you've done it

Thanks for the tip on racetrack & lowering the difficulty - was struggling with "finish on critical with a repair" to get the achievement. It's actually just less than 1 bar of health needed as I finished with 1 bar a couple of times and didn't get it. Anyway, miles better guide than the other one that basically just copies what the ingame stickers page says!

Just a little something you might want to add to your solution, you will hear a heart beat and your controller will pulse (vibrate) to the sound of the heartbeat when you are in critical condition (damage). Also the color of the bar will be darker red then normal like mentioned above.

Needed to find a decent race for taking damage in. Amboy Rt 66 was the one!
Much thanks :)

I got this achievement by mistake, passing the finish line wrecked! laugh
Just drop a mine before the finish line on your last lap (not in the middle of the road), then try to hurt yourself with foward mines and crushing into corners, and the harder part of this achievement will be gone!
I got it on Double Damage section of Career, Race 1.

Critical health isn't just a darker screen and health bar. Your health bar needs to be so dark it's almost black and your screen will be pulsating in red. That's when the cheevo will pop.

sorry, my mistake, I got it now. The last healthbar you have needs to be really dark red. Driving into some shocks should help to get it, at least this did work for me.

i just got this achievement, i was having a little bit of trouble finishing a race with critical damage. i found this easiest on the race Mount Harana (spelling?) its the race that is one lap long, and is basically a downhill race. i played on easy and got out to a good lead. pick up nitroes and hit them then crash into the walls, i also picked up mines and did the forward shot, left thumb sick forward & "a" button. then just drove into my own mines. obviously i made sure to have the yellow wrench power up and just to be on the safe side, i carried 2 shields just in case the other racers shot lightning, since i didnt want to run the risk of them wrecking me towards the end of the race..hope that helps.

can someone describe the point with the victory in a race with critical damage and having a repair kit a bit more detailed please? I tried this a couple of times and always fail although I have my whole monitor already red blinking because of the damage it doesn't count. I just don't get it what I'm doing wrong...

Repair 500 Blocks of health
This will come naturally while playing, you will be picking up a lot of Repair Power-ups during your races. This is cumulative throughout Single Player and Multiplayer.

Repair on damage critical and just before a Power-up hits
When your car is in critical (Any power-up that you would take would wreck you) and a Shunt is coming at you, have a repair ready and when it's right near you, repair and once it hits you it will be complete. This basically will come naturally during racing just to stay alive.

Win a Race on damage critical whilst carrying a repair in Single Player
Come in first place on a race while you are in the Red portion of your health bar while holding a Repair Power-up.

Win a Race without wrecking but repair more blocks of health than your car has
While playing a race just keep repairing as much as you can whenever you get hurt, then stay ahead of the pack and win the race. The Health Bar at the Top middle(Where the Rear View Mirror is) of the screen has to be a single faded red bar (Barely visible)
