How to unlock the Hitman achievement in DiRT Showdown - Definitive Guide

Found a good guide which helps explain what the other guides have said. Shows how to get the three harder hits pretty easily.

All credit goes to savgcom for the video.

Thanks for finding, helped a lot.

Headshot was the pain for me, I found using a small amount of speed as in the video worked best, when I tried slow I just couldn't get it over onto its side properly, no matter what angles of approach I played around with.

Agreed with adiash73, the headshot was brutal to pull off with 2 controllers but the guide was spot on. Thumbs up!

Car selection might make a difference? I got Headshot and Low Blow after only a few tries. But, I was using the Robson Avenger.

I used the cars he selects and I unlocked the last 3 he said in the video.

Awful achievement. Glad it's done.

This achievement is freaking impossible. I've all but given up on this unless I can find somebody to boost this with.

@DCM7734 Do it with 2 controllers on the ones you are struggling on.

First off, this is cumulative so you do not need to do all the hit types in one event. I am also fairly confident that you do not need to get the force/strength variations of each hit type eg. Insane/heavy/light. The hit types you need to get are:
T-bone (hitting another car in the side at 90 degrees)
Barge
Bash
Strike
Head on (ramming someone head on)
Side swipe (rubbing against another racer and forcing them into a wall)
Head shot (This appears to be when hitting another cars bonnet/windscreen area, as comments by AlonsoFive and Spilner suggest)
Shunt (ramming someone in the rear)
Slam
Overhead (landing on top of another car from a jump)
Low blow (hitting the underside of a car)

Some of these have been very difficult to reproduce consistently, besides t bone, shunt and head on. As far as I can tell the barge, bash and strike occur when hitting the sides of cars at angles other than 90. The achievement pops as soon as you get the required hits in an event, not when returning to the menu.

Feedback welcomed as this is my first guide!

That would make the most sense hitting that area. Bonnet/windscreen

I can confirm what Fox XBL said about using 2 controllers works with split screen. It does work as i tested it just a few minutes ago. I only needed to get the headshot one. Set up a second controller and used my main controller to crash into the other car and it unlocked. :)

I personally used "Lafayette Eulogy" I'm doing one with a second controller, and the last "headshot" and "lowblow" I was in the race Rampage Yokohama (AllStar) always with the same car

in this race, there are many big and small cars, so that small often find themselves on the side ^ ^

Yokohama (AllStar) is the best race for this, all my friends who have tried in this race have had their achievement!

Its still all luck but i got it on the event you suggested in the eulogy. I got headshot (this time) from hitting the roof of a car, so i think when i hit the wind screen the first time i got lucky. Thought id video the head shot :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS58GjOrV9U

Yes. As Spilner said, you need to hit another car in the roof to get the Head Shot.

I was doing it with the Coyote Landraider and saw the Lafayette Eulogy on it's side. So I boosted into it, got the Head Shot, achievement unlocked.

I did this in single player during normal gameplay, and earned it during a rampage event, so I can't be 100% sure about either of your questions. Although the achievement doesn't state single player. Will have to setup a couple of cars in split screen and give it a go.

Achievement made easy :

This achievement is a PITA due to two of the hits, head shot and low blow.

But fear not, they can be earnt very easily when you know how, which I shall explain.

There are 11 types, 9 you will earn most probably just completing the showdown tour naturally, and are self explanatory. Tbone, shunt, bash, barge, sideswipe, head on, strike and slam.

Now for the remaining 2(3) load up split screen on rampage.Select the map La auto drome. It has to be this map.

As you can see, there is a ramp at either end with a fence on left and right. however, the start is not fences. You can roll a car to show its roof, or underside using this ramp.

get a car to approach the ramp slowly, drive up it and it the fence whilst slowly turning outwards. you can see from the ramp side the under of the car is now exposed, and from the other side so is the roof.

it may take a few attempts to hit low low, overhead and headshot, but it shouldn't take long.

For example, if you need low blow, set one car up half falling off the ramp. With the main profile, approach as if to Tbone from the ramp side, but as the car is falling off the ramp side outwards you will hit the underneath.

You may hit Tbone a few times, it just means your angle is wrong. I'd recommend approaching from about 120 degrees (to hit the underside of a rear quarter).

To hit headshot, just come from the other side and hit the roof etc.

hopefully you understand this, hard to explain without diagrams!

This one sounds easy but proves to be rather difficult. It has to be done in a Rampage event and is cumulative, so it doesn't have to be done in one race. There are 11 different ways to damage an opponent in this game, most of which are pretty straightforward. The "Overhead", "Headshot" and "Low blow" crashes are likely the most challenging ones as you have to hit the other car respectively on the roof, front and bottom while the other car is laying on its side. These are easiest done in splitscreen and the method shown in the video below can be used for all three kinds. The different types of crashes are;

1. Head on
2. Shunt
3. Side swipe
4. T-Bone
5. Bash
6. Slam
7. Strike
8. Barge
9. Overhead
10. Headshot
11. Low blow

There is no way of checking which ones you got ingame so I recommend making a checklist.

You are guaranteed to make almost every type of shot in Rampage mode. But there are two difficult ones:

1) drive over the roof of your opponent's car

2) when your opponent's car is on its side, hit it on the roof

All this can be done with a friend in Split Screen mode. To drive on the roof, you must drive off the ramp after the car respawns, and your friend must stand at the bottom of the ramp. After a few tries it should work.
