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

The description for this achievement is wrong. You must win the race, not just complete it.

It's a race with checkpoints as well as a timed bomb on the car. At the checkpoints, there is a line of explosive barrels across the track. You must hit and blow up at least one barrel as you cross the checkpoint in order to proceed. The other drivers will bash into you as you pass them if you are close enough.

I tried to legitimately win several times, but I was either getting pushed off course by the other drivers or the exploding barrels would spin me out or knock me off course if I didn't hit them just right. The four cars I raced against to get this achievement all had exposed red gas tanks in the back of the vehicle. I had upgraded Max's ammo belt at least twice so I carried more ammo for the shotgun. At the start of the race, I just used the shotgun and destroyed all of my opponents by shooting the gas tanks.

If you have the Thunderpoon maxed, it's way better and easier to use to destroy other, um... contestants. :) It was "FUMEHEAD'S DEBT" story mission in the Heights region (there's only Death Run location there).

The title of this trophy is a bit misleading as you have to win a barrel bash race having missed none of the barrels.

I have found the location in the below video always gives barrel bash as an option. My tactic was to avoid crashing and get in the lead and once in the lead I slowed down before each barrel to avoid spinning out.

Story related and cannot be missed.

You will be required to win a Barrel Bash race during one of the the story missions.

Barrel Bash is one of three Death Race types available in-game. You will be racing against NPC drivers and the goal is to win the race while driving through periodic lines of explosive barrels that are placed across the road en-route to the finish line. While you generally need to follow the road, there are usually opportunities to use jumps or shortcuts to stay ahead of your competition.

Choose a barrel race from the proposed options when the plot requires you to win the race on the Archangel "Speed ​​Demon". At checkpoints it is important to knock down at least one barrel.

The main thing is to knock down at least one barrel at checkpoints.

When you go through a track with barrels (there will be such things not only in the plot) - while passing the lines with barrels, turn on “nitro” (acceleration). This way, you won't get dizzy from hitting them and you won't lose speed.

If you press nitro before meeting a barrel, then try to ensure that the barrel is in the center of the car, otherwise the car will sometimes fly off to the side.
