YOUR JOURNEY

TO ELITE STATUS

STARTS HERE!

Welcome to Prima’s Ofﬁ cial Burnout Paradise

Strategy Guide. Here’s a quick description of

each chapter, so you know how to use this book:

POSTER:

BURNOUT PARADISE

The biggest help to any driver is knowing where

all 8 compass ﬁ nishing places, 11 parking struc-

tures, 11 auto repair shops, 14 gas stations, 5

paint shops, 5 junkyards, and 120 billboards are.

And that’s not to mention every hidden area and

shortcut! Fortunately, this map (and all maps in

this guide) provide this information!

CHAPTER 3:

EVENT ADVICE

The majority of your progression is spent

completing seven different types of events:

Races, Road Rages, Marked Man Events, Burn-

ing Routes, Stunt Runs, Time Road Rules, and

Showtime Road Rules. In this chapter, you’re

given all the information you need to win every

one of these 248 events!

CHAPTER 4:

TOUR OF PARADISE

Half the game is about ﬁ nding out the coolest

and most interesting alleys and shortcuts, and

ﬁ guring out where all the landmarks are so you

can use your in-game map as little as possible,

and concentrate on the road ahead. Thankfully,

half this guide has segmented each of the ﬁ ve

neighborhoods into districts, and revealed the

major landmarks, thoroughfares, 35 drivethrus,

11 parking structures, and the three types of

570 discoveries (50 super jumps, 120 bill-

boards, and 400 smashes) you can ﬁ nd!

CHAPTER 5:

APPENDICES

Finally, there’s descriptions of all the 350 online

Freeburn Challenges you can complete, advice

on receiving all 60 Paradise Awards (for Play-

Station 3) or 50 Achievements (Xbox 360), and

ﬁ nally, the ultimate revelation: how to become

a true ultimate Criterion Elite racer and ﬁ nish

100 percent of the game!

TRAINING PART 1:

BASIC CAR TYPES

AND MANEUVERS

STARTING YOUR

JOURNEY: DRIVETHRUS

Auto Repair: After you obtain your ﬁ rst vehicle

from the junkyard, the ﬁ rst order of business

is to ﬁ nd an auto repair shop. This is what one

looks like. The guide maps shows where all 11

are. This is the ﬁ rst of the four types of driv-

ethru. Drive through each auto repair shop to

repair your car, and do this immediately, every

time you win a new car.

CHAPTER 1:

DRIVING SCHOOL

Excellent work! You’re reading this section now,

which improves on the information learned in

the Instruction Manual, and gives you a great

overview of the different car types, the actions

and maneuvers you can attempt, the drivethrus

and other areas of the city you should pay at-

tention to, and the basics of online gameplay.

CHAPTER 2: THE

JUNKYARD

As the game progresses, you’re given additional

vehicles to drive, and this chapter reveals all of

the available cars, along with their statistics,

including how many “lives” a car has before

it becomes a complete wreck in certain game

modes. Then there’s a progression chart for you

to check how far you are from Elite status!

100 percent of the game!

Once you repair your car for the

ﬁ rst time, it needs further repair

only if you knock into scenery or

other vehicles but aren’t wrecked.

Once you wreck, your car is re-

paired when you reenter the city

after the wreck cutscene.

Now read the Instruction Manual

and familiarize yourself with the

game before reading the rest of

this section!

ADVANCED TRAINING: DRIVING SCHOOL

Most cars allow you to choose one of a

number of color ﬁ nishes:

boost bar), Aggression (red boost bar), and

Stunt Class (green boost bar). It is important to

learn the strengths and minuses of each.

Speed-Class Vehicles: Use these vehicles

when racing, or obtaining the quickest time

possible (for Races, Burning Routes, and Time

Road Rule Events). Perform dangerous actions

(see below) to increase the boost bar. This bar

Gas Station: The second type is a gas station.

There are 14 to ﬁ nd. Drive through each so it

appears on your in-game map. This refuels

your boost meter, which is vital during certain

events, or if you want to quicken your pace.

Original: If you’ve been choosing paint ﬁ n-

ishes, and you want to revert to the original,

press the Reset Settings button.

events, or if you want to quicken your pace.

press the Reset Settings button.

Junkyard: There are ﬁ ve junkyards. Drive

through each, and you can choose a new car

from the vehicles you have acquired, and then

choose your car’s color if you visited a paint

shop. Check the Junkyard section for speciﬁ c

details on obtaining all the in-game cars.

Finish 1, 2, 3: Metallic, Pearlescent, or Gloss

can only be used when it is completely full.

However, this is the only class of vehicle you

can “boost chain” with.

Boost Chaining (AKA Burnouts): Perform

actions to increase your boost. When you’re

instructed that a boost is ready, start and

continue the boost until the bar empties without

stopping the boost, and the bar half-ﬁ lls again.

Use dangerous actions while you’re boosting to

top up the bar, and boost again. Combo these

for a series of Burnout Chains. This is useful

when racing. Attempt Burnout Chains on long,

mountainous roads to the west.

Author High Score: 10 Chains

Aggression-Class Vehicles: This is the best

class to use during Road Rage and Marked Man

Events, as your boost reﬁ lls quickly with hostile

driving, and these vehicles are likely to be

the toughest. However, when you’re wrecked,

your boost bar drops. Unlike the Speed-class

vehicles, you can boost at any time.

Finish 1, 2, 3: Metallic, Pearlescent, or Gloss

details on obtaining all the in-game cars.

Gold: This feature is currently hidden!

Paint Shop: Lastly, you can change the color of

your vehicle by driving through a paint shop. Do

this the ﬁ rst time you obtain a new vehicle, be-

cause this unlocks an additional choice for this

car, in the junkyard, from this point onward. You

can choose any color you like for most cars!

The different types of takedown you

can try during Road Rages is shown

in the Event Advice section.

Platinum: This color is also hidden!

Note that some ﬁ nishes, cannot be changed

if you drive through a paint shop.

Stunt-Class Vehicles: Arguably the most useful

of all the classes, these receive quicker boost

bar reﬁ lls if you barrel roll, jump, drift, spin, get

big air, or perform other such actions. You can

use all other types of dangerous driving to reﬁ ll

the boost, and use the boost at any time. This

means these vehicles are useful in almost every

event, including races! Also use Stunt-class

cars for any exploration.

STARTING YOUR

JOURNEY: BOOST TYPES

there are three vehicle classes: Speed (yellow

OPTIMIZING YOUR

JOURNEY: GENERAL

ADVICE

Introduction: Next to learning the lay of the land,

the most important thing to master is knowing

how to increase your boost, and when to use it.

Before we run through all the different ways to

earn boost, here are a few general tactics:

1. Stay in the middle of the road. That way, you

can edge in to attempt oncoming actions, but

keep a look-out for oncoming trafﬁ c.

4. Looking back: Use this during events to see

who’s behind you, and if anyone is about to

slam you. Quickly ﬂ ick the rear view on, then

ﬂ ip back to regular view, so you don’t crash!

5. Reversing: Remember your vehicle can

reverse. Not only is this incredibly useful during

Stunt Runs (see the Event Advice section for

more information), but you can e-brake and

spin the vehicle around 180 degrees. Use this

technique to back out of awkward positions.

6. E-brake “tapping”: Instead of letting go of

your boost button to e-brake, try keeping your

right thumb on the boost, then tap the e-brake

and steer when you want to corner. You’ll con-

tinue at a faster speed!

7. Know your vehicle: Each vehicle has its own

inertia, weight, strength, and ﬂ exibility. Some

ponderous vehicles are terrible at cornering,

but remove rivals easily. Some are fantastic at

barrel rolls, but pathetic when scraping against

rivals. If you’re ﬁ nding a particular maneuver or

event difﬁ cult, check your vehicle’s statistics,

and change vehicle classes.

OPTIMIZING YOUR

JOURNEY: INCREASING

YOUR BOOST BY ACTIONS

Introduction: Here are all the ways to increase

your boost bar during your journey. Use any or

all of them as much as possible, when the situ-

ation allows it! You know you’re succeeding in

one of these actions when a message appears

in the screen’s bottom left.

and combine this with an e-brake, just as the

car is about to leave the ramp. Rotate through

the air and land (usually facing the way you

came, unless the airtime is longer).

3. Landing a Barrel Roll: Locate the ramps

throughout the city that have a second, steeper

section to them. Accelerate strongly, so the two

left or two right tires hit this ramp squarely. If

you’re at an angle, you usually crash. You rotate

through the air, and must land on your tires.

Longer jumps (especially in out-of-the-way ar-

eas), and different cars allow for multiple barrel

rolls—the key to gigantic stunt scores!

4. Escaping a Crash: During a race or other

event with rivals, many pile-ups are going on

around you. Instead of becoming a victim of one,

if you can drive under, through, or around a crash

without being struck, expect a boost reward.

5. Drifting: Approach a long curved bend (like

the ones on South Mountain Drive) and tap the

brake (not the e-brake) while continuing to ac-

celerate. The drift begins. Hold the drift by ﬂ ick-

ing the steering to maintain the turn. If you’re

boosting at the same time, you’re boost drifting.

If you e-brake instead, this isn’t counted as a

drift. The length of the drift, not the angle of the

turn, is counted here.

keep a look-out for oncoming trafﬁ c.

2. Perfect your racing line. View the map and

learn to cut corners, driving as close to barri-

ers as possible, so you are always driving the

shortest distance between two points (such as

subsequent bends in a road, as shown).

turn, is counted here.

6. Grinding a Rival or Another Player: This

is done during events (notably Road Rages).

Simply swerve into a rival or player and crush

them against a wall as you both continue to

move forward. This is grinding.

3. Camera change: Although the “chase” cam

(picture 1) is preferred in almost every event,

the “hood” cam (picture 2) is beneﬁ cial if you’re

heading down a hill. That way your vision isn’t

blocked by the back end of a car (important if

another vehicle is incoming).

7. Using the E-Brake: Simply apply the

e-brake, ideally at top speed, and your car

spins around. Keep the spin going for more

“distance” (the greater angle you turn, the more

boost). E-brakes are vital for heading around

sharp corners without slowing too much, or for

avoiding obstacles. Remember e-brakes can be

“dabbed,” and used to power park, too.

8. Near Misses (Trafﬁ c or Rivals/Players):

This is an easy action, and one to always use

1. Get Airtime: Achieve this by launching off a ramp

and ﬂ ying through the air before landing safely. The

longer the drop, the more airtime you get.

2. Flat Spinning: Drive up a ramp, or to an area

where you know you’re going to get airtime,
