This guide is aimed towards helping you achieve all the achievements in HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED as fast as possible. The Batman Expansion, Monster Trucks Expansion & Looney Tunes Expansion are required in order to 100% the game. More DLC are likely to be required, at a similar price,

I wanna give credits to Mud for the Secrets Pads guide, and to Heinrich for the Secret Cars guide. Be sure to upvote their guide!

First thing I want to get out of the way is the achievements you probably do not need to think about while completing the game. Here is a list of the achievements that should be unlocked naturally:

Podium = top 3

All of the achievements related to the singleplayer, "HOT WHEELS CITY RUMBLE". For the Batman, Monster Trucks and Looney Tunes sections, see the DLC section below.

I will try to give tips where it's needed, but most of it is fairly self explanatory. You're required to 100% the singleplayer map except for the DLC sections in the bottom, in order to gain all singleplayer achievements. This includes every race, every time trial, every secret pad, every boss battle, and you have to reach the unleashed goal in all of them.

Tips to make the singleplayer easier:

- Turn AI difficulty to easy. This will make all the races trivial, and not require a lot of skill to win.
- If you struggle with time trials, try to get a better car first. My best experiences were with the Koenigsegg Jesko or 24 Ours, though the Power Rocket and Bad to the Blade were really solid cars too. There are probably other good ones, but these are my most used ones.
- Adding to time trials, another tips is to look up shortcuts on youtube.

Unlocking all the "secret" cars is pretty simple. Each secret car got a seperate requirement, but they are all related to 100% singleplayer.

There is a total of 5 secret cars in the game. The way to get these is to uncover all 9 secret pads, beating all races, all time trials and all boss races. Once all 4 of these is unlocked, you unlock the 5th and last secret car, and the achievement will pop.

There are currently three multiplayer achievements. These can be unlocked naturally, if you want, but they can also be boosted with a partner.

Go to multiplayer ⮕ Create private lobby ⮕ Set course to "Lobby creator" ⮕ Create Lobby

Now you can invite your boosting partner. If you want to spend as little time, I recommend scrolling to the side until you can find a really fast map, preferably a 1 lap course, and not a 3 lap circuit. Take turns, and win 5 times each, and both will unlock all three multiplayer achievements.

This section will contain all of the miscellaneous achievements, that might not unlock naturally through your playthrough.

Shop ⮕ Blind Box or Limited Offers ⮕ Purchase anything


Quick modes ⮕ Quick race ⮕ Win one race on any track in Skyscraper/College Campus/Skatepark/Garage.






Split Screen requires a controller. You only need to complete the race.

Quick modes ⮕ Split Screen ⮕ Any car/map


For this one, you need to set the AI difficulty to Hard, and win a race. Recommended to either use a Shortcut - (thanks to WheatYT for this guide) or to use a shorter map you're comfortable racing in.


For these two achievements, you will need to validate 5 total tracks. This will only take a few minutes.

Track Builder ⮕Choose any (I went with basement) ⮕ Pick courses, and not circuit for start. ⮕ Place a starting line ⮕ Pick a finishing line ⮕ Validate ⮕ Finish the course ⮕Leave, start a new track builder course & repeat x5

These are the achievements considered the grindy ones. They're split into three parts:

- Total earned coins/gears
- Opening blind boxes
- Upgrading rarity of vehicles.

Total earned coins/gears:

These achievements are related to your total income. You can freely use both your money and gears as you do not need to have it all at once. Currently, there is no way to see your total income.

The best way to grind coins and gears is to complete your daily challenges for the Racing Season. The pass is ~$5 if you want premium, but the free pass still awards you coins and gears. About every other tier gives you ~3500 coins and ~500 gears up until level 50. Daily challenges usually only take about 10-20 minutes, and you usually get ~1 new level a day.

I've become aware that they stopped doing racing seasons nowadays, however the extra content in the DLC chapters are quite useful for getting a ton of gears still.

If you want to maximize your profits earned, you can sell all cars for either coins or gears. This can be especially useful for gears.







Blind boxes:

For these, I recommend first getting all the free blind boxes from the singleplayer. This should put you on a good way to completing the boxes. The rest of them, you simply just buy from the store.

Shop ⮕ Blind Box ⮕ Buy/Open





Upgrading the rarity of vehicles:

- 10 common vehicles
- 15 rare vehicles

I would recommend saving this achievement until you got leftover gears. You should focus gears on cars you actually want to use in the start. Other than that, common vehicles are grey ones, and rare vehicles are teal. Simply upgrade them in your collection.
