DLC #66 - Shift 2 : Unleashed - Speedhunters Edition

Become Top Dog, and tackle 2 new Career
Branches.
The second and final piece of Shift 2 DLC brings 2 completely new events to the Shift 2 world, and, as with the Legends DLC, a new series of Career events to battle through.

Even though this DLC has 2 additional Career branches this time round (Drag Racing and Standing Mile events), it's undoubtedly a shorter venture than the Legends pack single Career branch.

The "Grim Reaper" trophy, awarded for beating Chris Rado and winning the 1320 Outlaws Championship, and the "Monster Dog" trophy, awarded for beating Koz and winning the Standing Mile Outlaws Championship are practically the sole focus of this DLC.

Again, the difficulty of the events isn't really that challenging until you get to the Championship event, and that's the same for both Career branches. Chris Rado and Koz's cars are much better than anything you're given in the Speedhunters Pack, and you'll most likely just have to resort to using a fully upgraded car from the main game in order to defeat them.

The "Ready to Rock" trophy, awarded for winning an online event in a Speedhunters Edition car, isn't hard, but the online portion of the game isn't exactly buzzing these days, so you need to knock it off at the first available chance if you don't want too long of a wait.

The "Speedhunter" trophy, awarded for completing a Career event in each of the new Speedhunters Edition Cars, requires you to unlock both the Dodge Viper GTS Twins Turbo and the World Racing Pro-FWD Reaper Scion tC (the cars you unlock for beating the new Career rivals), as well as the 12 other Speedhunter cars. This means this trophy will most likely be the final one you unlock, but it is easy to miss out the 2 final cars, so just be aware.

Both Career branches can be beaten within 1-2 hours, due to the very short nature of the new Drag and Standing Mile events, and the other trophies will collectively take no longer than an additional hour or so, depending on how quickly you can win an online event.
