How to unlock the The Quick Driver achievement in Mad Max - Definitive Guide

This solution is for those who want to get the achievement early in the game.

If you leave it for later, it's going to be really easy (with the right car and tons of ammo). You'll aso get this while going for the achievement for winning a death race at every location.


-----------------

The earliest time bomb death runs are available in the north-east of the DRY GUSTIE area of Jeet's territory.

This one is actually quite tricky. The problem is that there are enemies that keep spawning along the road. They are also much faster than you are so outrunning them is not an option.

The key to winning this is STAYING OFF THE ROAD.

KABOOM BUG is faster than the other car (MANCANNON), but it is carrying a fuel barrel which will explode if anyone rams into you or if you try to use nitrous! I exploded seconds after the race started, totally confused at what I need to do and again and again until I figured it out.

The race is a lot easier in the PINKY FINGER archangel car, but that becomes available later in the game.

So here is what you need to do:

1) Start the race with max shotgun ammo.
2) As soon as the race starts, turn right and then head straight towards the finish line (you should see the icon ahead of you and a blue light in the sky above it). Keep off the road as much as possible.
3) When an enemy gets close to you, shoot them (press cn_B) or outmaneuvre them (this will cost you time)
4) If you fail, retry the race. If you know you're losing, just bail out (press cn_Y) and then restart with cn_X. If you restart, you should have full ammo again (if you started with full ammo in the first place)

Trophy time is 2:00 (needed for the achievement), legendary time (you get a token) is 1:37. I made it in 1:15 once I figured out the way to do this.

You can find a Time Bomb Death Run in the Dry Gustie region of Jeet's territory.

To unlock the trophy you need to get to the finish line under the target time while other vehicles try and take you out.

I would suggest that you keep going for the side rams at that way you won't be knocked off track too often.

Time Bomb is one of three Death Race types available in-game. The goal is to win the race without your vehicle being destroyed by other enemy drivers who will periodically appear and attempt to run you off the road. Note that you do not need to follow the road in order to reach the finish line so feel free to take whichever route seems fastest. Once you win a Time Bomb race before the timer expires, the trophy will unlock.

As you progress through the game, different types of races will appear. You need to complete the race with the bomb - complete it and the trophy is yours.

In order not to waste time, it is better to complete all Death Races on Archangels when they are available. Moreover, they are much easier than on conventional cars. Features of this type of racing (With Bomb) - you are constantly attacked by opponents from all sides. So it's better on the Archangels, with full ammunition of the Stormtrooper and Shotgun.

We go into the map and select this icon, move there using “FAST MOVE”, and then go up the stairs and, when you are offered types of races, select “DEATH RACE WITH BOMB”, come first and the trophy is yours!
