Introduction:

WRC 5 FIA World Rally Championship will take your driving skills through 65 unique trails from around the world. Obstacle after obstacle will be thrown your way. Drive through dynamic weather conditions over dirt, snow, ice, and asphalt with a new physics and rendering system that will affect how your rally car performs. Take up the challenge of Career Mode or race to the finish line with online multiplayer. Just remember to fasten your seat belt. It's going to be a bumpy ride!

Step 1: Career Mode
You will be spending majority of your time in career mode. During this step you will want to focus on coming in first place for every single race. If you find yourself struggling to win races, you can change the game difficulty to 'easy', you will have no problem coming first place every time.

After completing this step you will earn the following:

Step 2: Quick Stage Mode
Once you have completed Career Mode its time to do it all over again. During this step you will have to complete all 65 races in all stage regions. Unlike Career Mode, you do not have to win these races, just finish them.

After completing this step you will earn the following:

  • Well done!
  • Around the world
  • Explorer

Alternatively these can also be earned in Quick Stage if you missed them in Career Mode; "Specialist", "Bring it on!", "Rally Driver", "Beam me up, Scotty" and "Back in Time".

Step 3: Offline and Online Multiplayer
Start by completing a offline multiplayer match with two players. You do not need a second controller as you can share one controller. Simply finish any stage to earn "Couch Surfer". Now to move onto the online multiplayer.

The online community is pretty much nonexistence. However, all online achievements can be obtained in an online private match with a minimum of 2 players to start the game. If you need a boosting partner, check out the Official XBA Boosting thread found HERE, to find and setup a game session.

After completing this step you will earn the following:

  • Offline visitor
  • Offline victory
  • Online tourist

Online Boosting Setup:
Create a private online game and invite your boosting buddy or group. Go to 'Special Stages' and select the following:

  • Location - Wales Rally GB
  • Track - Alwen (this is the shortest track in the entire game [track length 2.17km])
