How to unlock the Sting in the Tail achievement in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit - Definitive Guide

A quicker way i found was the super sports pack 2nd police challenge "show of force" you start in the porsche gt2 rs and you also get 10 spike strips so you should knock this out in 5 mins simple.
ANYONE NEEDS MORE HELP HERE IS A VID.

A quick way that I found to knock this one off is the "Arms Race" event at Rockingham Point (SCPD in the top left). Obviously you need to pick the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Interceptor. You get 4 spike strips to start with and you shouldn't have any problem earning five hits in two races.

I found out it doesn't even have to be in the same race. I did 2 one race, re-started due to I didn't get 5, got 3 on the replay and it popped!

Barney, that was a great suggestion! That race works perfectly. I just want to add that the achievement pops as soon as you get the last spike strip hit, NOT at the end of the race. I used up all of my spike strips when using casktapper's suggestion, and I finished out the race thinking I had already gotten 5 and that the achievement would pop when I finished.

2023 Boosting Solution / requires two Xboxes & accounts

  • Player that needs the achievement selects Hot Pursuit Online / Create Friends Game / Interceptor / Exotic
  • Invite Friend to Match
  • Make sure you're Playing as a Cop (X button to toggle between Racer/Cop) and Start Match
  • Cop chooses Porsche 911 GT2RS, Racer chooses whatever
  • You get three Spike Strips per match, so the first one have the Racer drive over them and then quickly bust them to end the match
  • Do another match and have the Racer drive over two more strips to unlock the achievement. It'll pop instantly in game

The second police event you can do is called Show of Force. Get 5 spike strip hits in that event to get this trophy. Just use the spike strips once you get in front of a car. You can land multiple spike strips on the same car and still get this trophy. You start off with 10 spike strips in that event. After you get the trophy restart the race and win it unless you know for sure you can complete it. This Porsche has terrible handling.
