How to unlock the He's a Wrecking Machine achievement in Blur - Definitive Guide

This is a Four part achievement,

1. Wreck 500 cars in Destruction

should be about 3/4 way to this by time you finish single player , just do a couple events again and you got it

2. Land 100 Longshots in Destruction

Again , this will just come as you play events , to get faster just hang back while shooting

3. Wreck 50 red cars in Destruction

these come later in the game as H2 Hummers , they need 3 bolts and fire a shunt when killed

4. In any Destruction event earn 5 lights and land every bolt

THIS is the hard one. this is probably the one that got you reading this solution , go and do the 1st one under shannon and use the R230 F1 Team R26 , or anycar with a antenna on top , use the antenna to help aim your car and after a few tries you should have it. You need 60 points in that event, you cant just get 4 main lights and the fan run , or 3 and fan target + fanrun , it has to be the 5 main lights.

*edit* If you are having trouble , try this
when it 1st starts , shoot right when you can and you'll hit one , try to get another before the two sharp left turns , then when you get on the straight with the fanrun icon , try to hit 3 more , that way the others spawn at the end, shoot one or two more in those corners <-- this is the hard one , after that uturn more should spawn on the straightaway , just line up behind them and you should get enough, if you can aim for ones in front to get combo bonuses

Try switching between the 350Z, BMW, ACS1 Coupe, and Shannons R230 with the antennea. You may not think of it at first but it does kind of put you in different mode! I got it about 30 minutes after switching to the ACS1 my first time.

the antenna just isn't working for me. i only have a 46 inch tv and i think it's not big enough for that trick. it seems when i don't try to hit them i get them. and when i have just destroyed a large amount of them then they get harder to hit. i really don't know what to do. I have already destroyed my 1st copy of the game and am on my 2nd.

I hate this achievement. Whoever thought of it should be shot. It's a terrible mix of luck and luck regardless of skill. Makes me want to break my controller. Start, hit, hit, miss, restart. Loading screen. Start, hit, miss, restart. Loading screen. Start, hit, hit, hit, hit, miss. Smash Blur to pieces.

It's not bad once you get the right strategy. Use the antenna to aim (it really helps) and make sure you're right behind the cars whenever shooting so you don't miss. Fire one bolt at a time so you're sure each connects. Staying close to the cars once they respawn is the hard part.

ACS1 worked for me. There is definitely luck involved in this achievement and it takes a lot of practice with the bolt power up. I did take a few risky shots but most of the shots were done up close. I did a few corner shots aswell because doing it only on the straights did not work for me.
Thanks everyone for all your above tips :)

This is one of those achievements that makes me think I'm crap at games!
The worst part of this one is the loading time between retries...

I got this on my third attempt using this guide and the renault car also, managed it in 2 laps. The first straight i just collected bolts and tried to get as close as possible and on the other straight of the track i just aimed using the antenna like described above. At the end of the straight i stopped shooting and collected bolts. And on to the start-straight (At this point i was on 8 seconds left but dont worry). Start selecting em off again. Before the chicane i also took one down to get my time up. On the next straight i got enough hits. Immediately stopped after i got 62 points.
Trial and error though, try not to freak out too much when it fails :-)

I just wanted to add a comment to the great solution above by Tongue73. I originally used the BMW for acceleration (no antenna) and was doing quite well. I then randomly switched to the Ford Focus after several hours and completed it. Once I hit 60 points though, out of sheer habit, I kept going and hit at least 4-5 more cars (single shot). I then screwed up with around 90 points. Cheeve DID NOT UNLOCK.

The whole point of this solution: Once you hit 60 points (5 Lights/Gold), STOP IMMEDIATELY, PULL OVER AND WAIT FOR THE TIMER TO COUNTDOWN. : )

I took heed your warnings and heaved on the brakes & put the controller down as soon as the fifth light lit up!

Well finally went back and got the achievement today and I was very careful not to fire another bolt after I hit 60! Thanks again! It was difficult enough to get it once, letalone have to go back and do it again! Ugh.

The first 3 parts of this "sticker" are relatively easy, so I will concentrate on the 4th part "In any Destruction event earn 5 lights and land every bolt"

I just got this achievement and I must admit I struggled (40 odd attempts at least!) - So I wanted to add a bit to the above as this worked for me:

Do the 1st available destruction event in Shannons list, it's by far the easiest;

Do not turn after starting the race, stay in a straight line - after collecting the 1st power up, fire 1 bolt, then a second later a second one (assuming the 1st shot only hits one car).Keep going straight and you should collect a second power up, at this point in time the third of the first set of green cars should be in your sights. This will take care of your first 9 points at least.

I would then follow Tongue73s advice on when to get the rest.

Also, don't worry too much about getting long shots, if you're doing this on easy (which you should), you should have (just) enough time to be pretty much behind every car you shoot at. Also, the bolts the cars fire when they are destroyed won't cause you too much hassle, avoid them if you can but you're only looking to shoot 20 cars at the very most for this achievement so you're not going to get wrecked by these.

Above all, be patient, and practice. I'd go with the advice of the others and look for a car with an aerial, I used Shannons car for this.

I've also seen advice on other forums to use the inside view and place a piece of string down the middle of the screen so you always know where your shot will go. I didn't do this but it may be worth it if you're really struggling.

In my opinion this is the hardest acheivement in the game, good luck!

This is not a solution in itself but rather an addendum to the above regarding the fourth requirement (get five lights without missing a bolt). The current solutions advise against doing long shots. I'd like to add an exception.

If you're on a straight and a cluster of new cars show up (the yellow beams of light), aim directly for the largest concentration of beams. Even if you miss one of the closer cars, you'll definitely hit one of the new cars and get a longshot bonus.

I find the biggest problem with hitting cars close to you is that they tend to swerve a bit to avoid your shots. The far away cars swerve a lot less, so if you aim straight for the beams and they're not about to turn you'll hit them every time. Unless there's a car closer to you which gets hit instead, in any case, yay!

I'd also recommend using this method straight away at the beginning of the race. Even if you do miss a shot, it's a lot more efficient to restart the event than to race for a few minutes only to miss the last shot.

Good luck!

Wreck 500 cars in Destruction
Just wreck a total of 500 cars, this will come naturally as you must retry some events to get all the lights.

Land 100 Longshots in Destruction
Longshots are single bolts that hit an opponent at a very far distance. To confirm you got a Longshot, it will say, "Longshot +25".

Wreck 50 red cars in Destruction
Red cars are usually Hummers that once they are wrecked, shoot shunts behind them. Wreck a total of 50 cumulatively for this.

In any Destruction Event earn 5 Lights and land every Bolt
This is by far the most frustrating task in the game. Choose the first destruction event in Proving Grounds on easy difficulty with any car of your choice, I recommend the Nissan 350Z . Have patience and eventually you'll successfully accomplish this task.

Select the 1st boss - 3rd race (the very first distraction on easy)

Car: Ford Focus (It has a cheat antenna on the roof clearly in the middle, can be used as a sight)

The main thing is a little practice and take your time.

PS Bolts can be destroyed (flying from you and from the enemy), but the chance is very small.

Addition to paragraph 4.

I recommend taking the Audi S3, it is also grip oriented, but faster than the Ford Focus, just get as close as possible and attack. Also at the start, when you receive the first bolts, release two with a delay of a second and immediately get 8 points for two killed cars.

Addition to point 4. every shot must hit the target.

Load the very first Destruction (1st boss - 3rd race) and select Ford Focus.

Next is the matter of accuracy, the Ford itself is geared towards the Grip, so there shouldn’t be any problems with aiming. Why Ford? Because he has a cheat sight in the form of a small Antenna on the roof. With a little practice, you'll soon be able to do this condition. This is better than shooting in the middle of nowhere. The main thing is not to freak out and take your time.

PS I had a case when I was not credited with a trophy, but I completely fulfilled the condition. The point was that supposedly 2 bolts (flying from the enemy and from me) could collide and be destroyed... This is the stupidest thing that can happen, but the chance is small, so go for it.
