Master the Shield Power-up

How to unlock the You can't touch this achievement in Blur - Definitive Guide

To get this achievement you need to,

Shield 150 incoming attacks
Shield 3 or more power ups with a single shield
Shield 50 incoming close range power ups
Hold on to a shield for 1 lap and win the race

Shielding 150 attacks will come as you progress in the single player. To shield 3 power ups with one shield the best way is to beat khan in his one on one to get the titanium shield mod, this mod makes your shields last longer and are able to take more damage. Get a shield and drive infront of a CPU who has bolts, he will usually fire 3 into you and you will get this. To shield 50 close range power ups the only way i found was to shield just before a shunt hits (or bolt if your lucky), I am not sure if mines or shocks count but you may as well wait until you are close before you activate your shield. To hold onto a shield for one lap you need to have it in your power up bay for a whole lap not just from where you picked it up until you pass that spot again. An easy way is just pick a shield up near the start of the race and never use it and just win the race on easy, that way you won't even need to use the shield.

Mines and Shocks do count but they have to be your opponents. Firing them out yourself and driving through will not count.

An easy way to shield the 50 incoming close range power ups is to go on Multiplayer and use the mod that allows you to dodge shunts easier. Use the shield when the warning bar goes green and it'll usually add one to the score required

Best way i found for Close Range Shields was to drive into mines and shield just before you hit.

For part 3 (Shield 50 incoming close range Power-ups) you can simply activate the shield right before hitting a mine. You will receive a fan bonus of 30 points for a close shield hit or something like that if done correctly. The best place is event two from Showdown. I could get 9 of these per race.

You should be able to in the challenge lost under the correct area. (Havent played for a while so I don't remember what that is.)

A good hint for the shield on 50 incoming close range power ups (which is the most tricky condition to fulfill) :

Activating the shield just before hitting fragmented mines in multiplayer games is very efficient for this. My achievement popped when I used my shield too late while running through a group of fragments (still needed to get 1 more close range) : I got hit but my shield stopped the last fragments, so it counted it as a close range (I hope this wasn't due to lag but it worked).

A lot of players use the fragmented mines ability, so it's pretty easy to find some online.

Shield 150 incoming attacks
Whenever you hold the shield power up, just use it whenever you see a power up about to hit you from behind. Do this 150 times, you'll be sure to get it during online play.

Shield 3 or more Power-ups with a single Shield
The best time to do this would be when your in the middle of a large group of players, use your shield and hope the crossfire comes your way.

Shield 50 incoming close range Power-ups
For this you must use the Shield power up at the very last second right before the power up is about to hit you, find the timing and keep using the shield at that timing and you should get it in no time.

Hold on to a Shield for 1 lap and win the Race
Simply put, take a shield power up and just don't use it, you can drive around shock domes and use reserve shunts or mines to counter incoming attacks..

The 3rd point is described a little inaccurately. There you need to turn on the shield a second before you are attacked.

Simple solution: You can quickly get a trophy in the company, namely by completing the race before the last boss.

Tactics: Set to HARD and stupidly drive last, collecting shields. Bots will drop mines from time to time. One BUT. Your own mines do not affect the trophy. So turn on your shield before you run into an enemy mine.

So as not to waste time. I advise you to combine the 3rd task with completing races on Hard. Since your goal will simply be to arrive first, you need to defend against attacks in the first positions. We collect shields on the highway for safe driving.
