How to unlock the It's a trap! achievement in Blur - Definitive Guide

To help clarify, a forward mine hotshot is when you shoot the mine forwards and it stops moving before hitting an opponent.

You can't just aim right at a car and hit it directly, you must shoot it ahead of the car so that the car runs into it.

Thanks! I was trying to work out why some forward mines counted as hotshots, and some didn't.

Same as Boost17. Been getting forward mine hits and no progress. Thanks for the solution. +1

To get this achievement you need to,

Mine 250 cars
Destroy 50 mines without hitting them
Score 20 forward mine hotshots

Hitting 250 cars with mines is not to hard to do, by the time you are done with single player you will either be done with that or be very close (unless you never pick mines up). If you are close, a race with lots of mines on it is in the last races (showdown) race number 2 SanFran Sausalito - Bay Area Tour. In one lap you usually get 3-4 mines. To destroy mines shields DO NOT count towards this, you have to either barge them, bolt, or use another mine to destroy it (shunts work but those are just luck). Once again go to the SanFran Sausalito - Bay Area Tour and just stay in last (you don't have to win the race for it to count) collect barges and bolts and go along the track destroying any you see. To score 20 forward mine hotshots you do not have to directly hit the other car with the mine, to get this whenever you get a mine instead of shooting it backwards just toss it forwards and you will get this soon enough (or you can go to the SanFran track to do this as well.)

Mine 250 cars
Mine a total of 250 cars, either shooting in front of you or dropping then behind you. As long as a enemy hits it, it will count as a mine.

Destroy 50 Mines (Hitting them doesn't count)
Destroying mines is just like destroying shunts but usually stationary. You can bolt and barge them once you are near them. This may take some time to accomplish but isn't too hard of a task.

Score 20 Forward Mine Hotshot
A Forward Mine Hotshot is by shooting a mine forward in front of a car, the mine stops at a certain distance ahead and the car runs into the mine. Repeat 20 times to complete this.
