How to unlock the Rage Cup achievement in RAGE - Definitive Guide
*The difficulty you choose to play the game on does indeed affect the ability of the racers. So if you want an easier time getting this achievement, play on easy. Also all the races must be completed before the Authority Bridge part of the game.*
There are a total of 27 races in the game, 16 of which are in Wellspring and the remaining 11 being in Subway Town later on in the game.
There are six types of races you can compete in: Time Trial, Non-Combat, Minigun Race, Rocket Race, Rocket Rally and finally Pulse Rally.
There are three vehicles that you can race with: Buggy, Cuprino, and Monarch.
The Buggy will be awarded to you near the beginning of the game as part of a story-related mission so no need to fret. The Cuprino can only be earned by doing a side-mission for Sheriff Black in which he asks you to get a different set of wheels, this involves receiving a sponsorship from J.K. Stiles in the Mutant Bash TV and finally winning a sponsorship race. The Monarch is obtained by winning it in a race from your racing "rival" once you get to Subway Town and get down to the racing area.
General Strategies:
Time Trial - By far the easiest of all the races. As long as you buy the upgraded boost for whichever vehicle you're using you should be just fine. Make sure to effectively use the boosts scattered throughout the racetrack as well.
Non-Combat Race - Pretty easy races as well, simply use the boost whenever you can to get ahead of all the other racers. Buy the upgraded engine and spike performance tires to give you the edge you need.
Minigun Race - A tad bit more difficult than the Non-Combat race. I would recommend simply buying a couple of shields and boosting ahead, using the shields whenever you need to to. No need to go shooting everyone down, they tend to preoccupy themselves if you're a decent distance ahead of them.
Rocket Race - What makes these races more challenging than the Minigun Races is the fact that the rockets when locked on to you will follow and catch up to you and they do a decent amount of damage. For these races, I would recommend upgrading the armor on your car and buying shields and armor restores. For the first lap do not boost ahead or they will all shoot you down. Try firing rockets from the back and using a shield when ever you know you're being targeted. After the first lap you'll be able to safely (to some extent) pull and ahead and boost to the finish line.
Rocket Rally/Pulse Rally - These races can be challenging, especially in the later races. The same rules apply as in the rocket race but because there is no set track, you can be attacked from any side. Make sure your vehicle is fully upgraded because you won't stand a chance if you aren't. It may take a couple of tries simply because you'll need to memorize the positions of the rally points but once memorized you can anticipate where the next one will show up and boost it there. In the later races rally points are taken really fast by other drivers so anticipation is key. Also remember that taking out enemy drivers gives you points as well that count to the over all 50 needed to win the race. (There is only one Pulse Rally race in the game, the only difference is that they have a higher rate of fire and do more damage than rockets.)
**It has been confirmed that the Stanley Express missions are not required in order to get the achievement. Even though the game calls them races you do not need to do them.**
i think your missing 10 then???
There are a total of 26 races in the game, spread out among 5 separate circuits in Wellspring and Subway Town. Start by tackling the races in the Beginner's Luck circuit to earn enough racing certificates to upgrade your Dune Buster and unlock the next circuit. When you reach the final circuit you should have enough cash to of upgraded every boost and engine upgrade for the Dune Buster, so focus on the Cuprino from here to help you in your Campaign playthrough.
The races you have to win are:
WELLSPRING:
- Beginner's Luck: Time Trial, Non-Combat Race, Minigun Race, Rocket Race
- Speed & Thrills: Time Trial, Rocket Rally, Non-Combat Race, 2x Rocket Race
- Murder & Mayhem: Time Trial, 2x Rocket Race, 3x Rocket Rally
SUBWAY TOWN:
- Crash & Burn: Time Trial, Non-Combat Race, 2x Rocket Rally, 2x Rocket Race
- Road Rage: 3x Rocket Rally, Rocket Race, Pulse Rally
Much the same as winning a race but this time you need to win all 26 races main across the wasteland. Starkys grill race and monarch race also count for this trophy. The two locations in the for races are, Wellsprings and Subway Town. Once you complete all 26 the trophy will unlock. You cannot enter a race if you dont meet the requirements e.g. Rockets. To gain racing certificates outside of races you hace to do the bounty missions for Sally and the guy in subway towns Fez Bar. I've compilled some tips below for each different event. Some races you can only enter if you have rockets on ALL your cars. Some races can only be entered in the buggy and you need rockets on the buggy. Same applies for the other cars.
Races and Rocket races: These are simple enough, you race 3 laps around a circuit. The regular races you only have the miniguns but in the rocket races you have rockets. There wont be a need though for you to damage the other racers though as you'll beat them by miles.
Rocket and pulse rallys: I hate these ones, the objective is to collect the rally points in the arena (Blue lights) before the other racers. The objective is to reach a combined score of 50 points in total. You get 5 points for capturing a point and 3 for destroying another racer. The last few i found a little difficult but once you get the hang of the few places the rally points spawn it will be easy. Try to keep rockets on you at all times. 2 shots to a enemy car usually destroys them.
