Need For Speed Unbound is a high-octane arcade racer with a massive open world. The game comes with tons of new cars, lots of customization options, and new stylized effects. During the game, you will place bets, unlock new vehicles, challenges and more.
The game also brings several new mechanics to the table, completely changing the way you compete. While you can ignore them all and try to play Need For Speed Unbound like any other arcade racer, you’ll end up missing out on a lot of new things it has to offer. So, for everyone who wants to become the best street racer, these tips should be enough.
9 Take out the cops easily
You’ll run into a lot of cops in Need For Speed Unbound, mostly because you’re breaking the law by street racing. However, there are many ways to get rid of them easily. Obviously, you can crash into it or push pedestrian cars into it, but there are smarter methods too.
Whenever you are traveling over 100 MPH and see a police car coming from the opposite direction, do not stop and keep moving. You will easily overcome it. Also, if you’re already chasing, find a quiet alley, turn off the engine, and wait for the heat to cool. Cops can still find you this way, but this method works well most of the time.
8 Finish the campaign before the multiplayer starts
Many of you may feel the need to jump straight into online multiplayer, but it’s best to finish the single player campaign first. Mainly because throughout your career, you’ll unlock a bunch of special cars that you can also use in multiplayer.
Also, these cars are available separately in single player and multiplayer. So even if you sell the car in multiplayer, you’ll still have access to it in campaign mode.
7 Don’t go off the speed charts
Winning speed lists give you money and experience. However, you should not give up in the middle of the race, even if you are losing. This is mainly because you can still earn rewards even if you finish in last place.
However, if you decide to leave the race before finishing it, you will not receive anything. It’s free money and experience that you can use to level up, so don’t miss out, and speaking of leveling up…
6 Don’t forget to level up
Need For Speed Unbound rewards you simply for leveling up. You can win up to half a million dollars in a single level. The maximum level of the game is 99, and cannot be upgraded beyond that.
But for each level up, you get money. The higher the level you are upgrading to, the bigger your cash prize. It is another very easy way to earn money from the game.
5 Use Drift And Grip for NOS Boost
While racing in Need For Speed Unbound, your goal should be to earn as many NOS as possible while taking a turn. The game rewards you for both maintaining a good grip and drifting like a pro while taking any corner.
But different cars are suited to a drift and grip setup. Most lower-class cars do well with a drift setup, while most higher-class cars do better with a grip-focused tune. Use each of them according to your riding style so you always have more NOS.
4 Drive a faster car for higher rewards
Another great method to earn a lot of money is to complete speed zones and other side activities. Also, doing these side activities is better if you have a really fast car.
For example, with a fast car, you can score higher in speed traps. You can also easily break records in jump zones and earn a lot of money fast.
3 Bet against weaker opponents
Need For Speed Unbound allows you to place a bet before starting a race, which allows you to earn more money in the process. Although you can bet against any member of the race, it is not a wise choice to bet on the fastest runner, especially if you are just starting your race.
It is better to bet against weaker opponents than you, so you can win easily and earn extra money.
2 High rewards in high heat missions
The high heat delivery missions in Need For Speed Unbound task you with delivering the vehicle during an intense police chase. Although it is difficult to do, you receive a great reward for delivering the vehicle without damage.
However, there is a very simple solution to this problem. Once you’ve finished evading the police or as you approach your delivery location, get your vehicle repaired for free at any gas station.
1 Use parked cars to fill NOS
Oncoming traffic is a great way to fill up your NOS meter. Just pass any car in close proximity to traffic at a fast speed and your NOS meter will increase.
The best part is that you don’t have to miss out on this free boost if you’re in a traffic-free zone. All you have to do is drive very close to any parked car while speeding, and you’ll be rewarded with NOS.
