The latest update has apparently reduced the amount of KM required from 500 to 50. This appears to only be a requirements change and doesn't affect the trophy's glitches.
This trophy's requirements are glitched; the trophy will unlock once you have covered 50KM, but the game's counters are broken and don't record distance correctly. The curent count seems to hover around 18KM. Also, you'll need to accumulate these KM on a single set of wheels, so for the purposes of this guide, pick one of the default ones and don't change it. If you've crossed this amount by a significant margin, switch to a different set of wheels as you may have passed the required amount and the trophy simply didn't unlock.
You can check how many KM you have traveled. At the main menu, select Garage, then press
to scroll to wheels. Hover over the wheel you've been driving with and it will show you how many KM it has accumulated. This is the counter that is glitched, so treat it as if you need to earn 68KM to unlock the trophy.
This trophy also has a number of other glitches: Boosting to cover more distance faster is known to have the opposite effect; the counters sometimes rise slower in games where you primarily boosted.
The method to boost this trophy will involve you spending a few hours letting the game idle in Exhibition without bots while your car runs in circles. It requires a rubber band and some other way of holding down
(In my case, a second rubber band).
Method 1:
Following the below steps, you can gain 1 item and around 600 to 700 metres for every 5-minute Exhibition game to grind this at the same time as unlocking items for
Stocked:
Step 1:
Start an Exhibition game without bots. Drive forward and score one goal.
Step 2:
Tie a rubber band around
and loop it around the handle of the controller. Use the second rubber band to hold
. Alternatively, you can wedge a coin or a folded-up piece of paper in the gap
makes when pressed down. Below are examples:
The result is your Battle-Car perpetually running in circles to rack up KM for
Far, Far Away....
Step 3:
After the game ends, click OK, then Ready to quickly start a new game. Untie the band around
, then click Auto when prompted to choose a team. When the game starts, you will spawn in the perfect position to score the first goal. You don't even have to steer, just let whatever is holding down
score the goal for you. Then, retie the rubber band to
.
Step 4:
Repeat step 3.
Method 2:
This is similar to the first, but is used after you've unlocked
Stocked. Essentially, you start an Exhibition game, then fasten
and
in the same way as in Method 1. You do not, however, score a goal. If a game is tied and the timer runs out, the game switches to Overtime until a goal is scored. As you won't be scoring any goals, you can indefinitely grind this trophy out. Hypothetically you could use this method before unlocking
Stocked, but I highly recommend against it as it will lengthen your time-to-platinum by a number of hours.
If you need to stop grinding, be sure to score a goal to end the game after that grinding session, as pressing
to quit the game means those metres gained do not count.
Also, if you are having issues with rubberbanding
, you can remap the buttons by navigating to Options on the main menu, then pressing
to access Controls. From this menu, you can change the mapping for Accelerate to one of the face buttons, then tape that face button down. You can also access this menu by pressing
mid-game.
You have to grind this trophy in Exhibition as distance traveled in Freeplay does not count. The trophy will normally unlock as soon as you reach the required amount of KM.
