A sensible order
- Race a Grand Prix on Amateur AI: Cheat!, Ruthless, What a Start!, What a Lap! and One Small Step usually come together.
- Visit the Workshop, tune the bike in Bike Setup and take a Photo Mode shot: New Gear, Pro Bike Mechanic, Aesthete.
- In The Compound, practise a long wheelie (Unicycle) and low scrubs (James, Is That You?).
- Run Time Attack on your best track for the gold badge, then repeat on an MX2 bike.
- Play a short Championship on low AI for Welcome Aboard, Rookie! and First Crown!, then raise the AI.
- Leave Around the World, Full House and the two "Is That You?" grinds for last.
The scrub and whip guide helps with the riding-skill set.
Achievement questions
How many achievements does MXGP 26 have?
26 on Steam, 2 of them hidden.
What is the hardest achievement?
Tony, Is That You?: six Official MXGP Championships in a row with a full entry list on Hard or higher. Jeffrey, Is That You? (114 GP wins) is the longest grind.
Can I get achievements with assists on?
Most of them, yes. Hotshot needs a race with every assist off, and the scrub achievement is far easier once air assist is off.
