Need for Speed™ Heat Guide

Need for Speed Heat 100% Completion for Need for Speed™ Heat

Need for Speed Heat 100% Completion

Overview

This guide covers how to achieve 100% in this game along with how to earn cash and REP easy and quickly, cars and the best upgrades, how to get all the collectibles (even the tricky ones).

Basics of the Game

Keyboard and Mouse vs Controller

  • Controller is a lot easier. Keyboard is do-able but the drifting get tricky to do with the keyboard.

How To Earn Cash

  • Player’s can earn cash during the day by completing races. Each race can be run multiple times, but total payout decreases after each run. Just go back to the garage and then back to day to reset the payout.
  • Player’s can also earn cash by collecting collectibles and completing activities throughout the map.
  • Some night races have cash payouts, but not many. The heat level 3 and 5 races do have a cash payout.

Buying Parts and Upgrading Cars

  • Just because you can engine swap and upgrade different parts doesn’t mean you should. All cars handle different, and just because a part is better doesn’t mean the car will perform better. Do your research before spending money as it only takes a couple minutes, but saves time from doing more races than you want to.
  • Don’t spend a lot of money on the starter cars as you probably won’t use them a lot once you get the BMW i8 or the Chevy Corvette unlocked.

Car Repairs

  • By equipping repair kits in the auxilary options.
  • Unlimited repairs during the day at gas stations.
  • ONLY 3 repairs at night at gas stations, use them wisely.
  • Entering a safe house/garage.

Collectibles and Activities

  • Most, but not all appear on the map.
  • Need to buy Keys To The Map to get all of them listed on the map.
  • The DLC is only 5USD$, but saves a lot of time from trying to find all the collectibles that don’t show up on the map. DLC its self isn’t worth it unless your an achievement/trophy hunter like myself.

McLaren F1 Black Market Delivery

  • The only way to get the McLaren F1 is by purchasing the DLC.
  • A purchase DLC that delivers a new shipment to the dockyard of Palm City. Get the McLaren F1 Black Market Delivery to burn all limits with the McLaren F1 through a unique set of challenges. Plus, receive hot, new special customization parts, character outfits, vanity items, and decals as rewards!

Safe Houses

  • Appear across the map, but need to drive to them, and enter the safe house to unlock them and have access to them in the future.
  • Can only fast travel to them during the day, not at night.
  • Can not enter the safe house if your being chased by cops.

How To Earn Rep

  • Can only earn REP at night by completing races and evading cops.
  • Once you have earned REP you will need to make it to a safe house to keep it all.
  • How to lose REP.
    • Totaling your car.
    • Getting busted, not only do you lose REP, but a portion of your cash in the bank.
    • Quiting/closing the game before making it to the safe house.
  • How heat level and multiplier affects rep earned.
    • 10,000 x heat level 1 (1 multiplier) = 10,000
    • 10,000 x heat level 2 (2 multiplier) = 20,000
    • 10,000 x heat level 3 (3 multiplier) = 30,000
    • 10,000 x heat level 4 (4 multiplier) = 40,000
    • 10,000 x heat level 5 (5 multiplier) = 50,000

Escaping Cops

  • Only stay in the heat level your car can handle. Just go to the safe house and re-enter the night-life.
  • Stay in town and drift around corners. Cops will more than likely outrun you on straight roads.
  • Avoid going off-road unless you have an off-road build. You slow down off-road, cop cars don’t.
  • Remember where jumps are and how to get to them quickly. They are and effective resource to escape cop chases.

Earning Cash Quickly

Quickest And Easiest Ways To Earn Cash

  • Keep in mind that the payouts are based on the “end game/end of storyline” of getting to REP level 50 and completing the main story races.
  • Payouts may vary depending on where you are in the story and what level you are.
  • Times may vary a little depending on the car, upgrades, handling, crashes, etc.
  • Each payout/race section has been broken down to 2 minutes (for a common and fair trial) and then broken down to 1 hour of gameplay/real life grinding out cash.
  • These methods get repetitive and boring, but quickest way to make cash without wasting time driving from race to race.

Method 1 – Palm City Raceway – Resorts Circuit.

  • This should take 8-9 minutes to complete. I timed it the moment I was outside the garage, completed 3 races, went back into the garage, and back outside, and paused my timer.
  • Race 1 – $53,361
  • Race 2 – $40,021
  • Race 3 – $26,681
  • Total Payout – $120,063 (8 minutes).
  • $120,063 x 8 total runs (60 min / 8 min = 7.5 runs) = $960,804.

Method 2 – Palm City Raceway – Resorts Circuit

  • This should take 5-6 minutes to complete. I timed it the moment I was outside the garage, completed 2 races, went back into the garage, and back outside, and paused my timer.
  • Run 1 – $53,361
  • Run 2 – $40,021
  • Payout – $93,382 (6 minutes).
  • Total payout $93,382 x 10 total runs (60 min / 6 min = 10 runs) = $933,820.

Method 3 – Palm City Raceway – Resorts Circuit and Up UP and Away time trail
payout with time trail run.

  • Same as the methods above, time it takes starting from the garage, complete 2 races, complete a time trial, enter the garage, and back to day time.
  • Only need to beat the previous time by a few seconds to make beatable. If you beat it too fast and too quickly, it may become hard to break it again. I did this on accident by not paying attention and on accident beating the previous time by 500 yards.
  • This one doesn’t make as much money as it takes a little longer to get to the time trial and the time trial takes 3+ minutes to complete.
  • Race 1 – $53,361
  • Race 2 – $40,021
  • Time Trail – $26,667
  • Payout – $120,049 (10 minutes).
  • Total payout – $120,049 x 6 total runs (60 min / 10 min = 6 runs) = $720,294.

Method 4 – Jailbreaker Jump in Fort Callahan

  • Doesn’t appear on the map unless you have Keys To The Map, otherwise you can just drive to that general area and find it.
  • If you jump short you will respawn, but will not get paid.
  • Jump too far will get paid, but need to drive back around.
  • Start by the tracks, go off the jump between 60-70 mph and land on the small rock island.
  • If done correctly you should respawn back on top and rinse and repeat.
  • Cash payout stays the same, don’t have to go to safe house to reset it.
    • 12 jumps in 2 minutes
    • 12 x $3,307 = $39,684
    • $39,684 x 30 (60 min / 2 min) = $1,190,520.

Earning REP Quickly

Cashing In
Earn and bank 1 000 000 REP during one night

  • Use the steps below. Stay in Palm City Raceway until you reach Heat Level 5, then go do races that have high REP payout. At this point it will be easier to track as each race will be multiplied by 5 and won’t have to do as many races.

So when I first was playing, I was going around from race to race to earn rep and level up. Which at times felt like forever because there would be times where I would get a lot of rep and other times very little rep. After putting some time into the game, I found a very easy way to increase your heat level without putting yourself in danger or harms way. All you need to do is hit the minimum speed which for me was 170 mph.

Increase heat level quickly

Steps

Step 1

  • Leave the garage, open the map, and mark a preferred race or heat level 3 or 5 race on the map.

Step 2

  • Once the race has been marked, go to Palm City Raceway. Keep going around the circuit like you would in the day race Resorts Circuit. As you make your way around, cut in early, and go through the speed trap.

Step 3

  • Keep going until you the desired heat level. Preferrably one that you can evade cops easily enough without getting busted. If cops do appear, just keep going, you should be able to outrun them as your making your laps around the circuit.

Step 4

  • Now that you hit the desired level, there is a jump inside the circuit you can use to jump out and escape cops if there are any. Go fast enough to make the jump, but not too fast otherwise you will hit the building on the other side. Otherwise just use the normal tunnels to get out if there are no cops.

Step 5

  • Once you have exited the circuit, follow the gps on the map, and go to the desired race.
Time it takes to get to heat level 3 and 5
  • Heat level 3 – takes 3-4 minutes, going around the track in one continuous loop.
  • Heat level 5 – takes 9-10 minutes, going around the track in one continuous loop.
  • Heat level 5 – takes 6-7 minutes go to the ramps on either side and immediately turn around.
  • If you did it the normal way of increasing the heat level by just doing races, it would take a little more time as your heat level will be levels 3-5 vs 0-2. The difference is the multiplier will have a bigger impact and will end the night with more REP.

Now I am not saying this is 100% safe as it does have its risks. When you leave the raceway you will be at your desired heat level. Now this will increase the amount of rep you gain per race as the multiplier will be higher than normal. Now the downside is the amount and difficulty of cops you will have to deal with.

Evading, Escaping, and Avoiding Cops

Evading Cops
  • Pay attention to the map. If cops are coming your way or if they’re sitting still, just drive fast and fly by them.
  • Don’t be afraid to slow down, sometimes cops can be avoided by just slowing down as they will take a turn in a different direct away from your path.
  • Don’t risk it. Just go to a safe house and re-enter the night life to save yourself from losing getting busted.
  • Cops will out run you if you go on straight roads or off-road unless you have build to do so. You slow down off-road, cop cars don’t. So just stay in town and drift/maneuver around the city.
  • Remember where jumps are and how to get to them quickly. They are an effective resource to escape cop chases.
Jumps
  • There are many jumps around the map that are useful to evading the cops, these are just the areas I ended up using the most in my gameplay. Locations and how to get there are easy to remember.
  • Downtown Palm City
    • Has a few different areas that are useful to escaping cops chases.
    • I’m Not a Jump! – don’t follow the direct gps path, stay along the water, there a 2-3 jumps in that stretch.
    • Turbine Upgrade – when cops are chasing you just jump it and go into the city, should lose the cops with ease.
    • Gas Station/Train Terminal/Platform – The nice part about this is there is a gas station next to it for a quick repair if needed. Just hit the jump and land on top of the platform and wait for the cops to clear out. Plus there is a safe house nearby if needed.






  • Port Murphy – the docks
    • On the bottom of the map.
    • Safe house close by to end the night.
    • Has a gas station nearby to repair the car if needed.

Crews

Humble Beginnings
Reach REP Level 2

Notorious
Reach REP Level 50

All For One
Reach max Crew Level with your Crew

  • The max level is level 50 at which point the Ferrari FXX-K Evo ’18 becomes available at an expensive cost of $2,177,500.

You can join or create your crew early on, I think around level 7 or 10 if I am not mistaken. You can stay in the pre-set crew ghost when first joining or you can join other crews or even create your own crew. As you level up within the crew you unlock different things throughout the game such as additional REP and cash bonus percentage.

Step 1 – press start and tab over to “social”.
Step 2 – If not already in a crew, tab over to members, and click on leave crew.
Step 3 – You will get a little message that pops up.
Step 4 – Join a crew or create your own and call it good. Some crews may have a lot of people, but the actual crew may be dead meaning not many of the members play anymore. So you can go solo, join up with a few friends, or browse internet forums and Reddit to find active players.

Story Achievements

You progress through the story pretty fast as its not that long and isn’t that hard to complete. The main storyline lines are broken down into 5 different sections. You have the main story with Ana and Lucas (storyline during the day and a seperate one during the night), racing with Dex, drifting with Wayne, and off-road with Roshni.

Completing each story unlocks different cars that you get for free and can be upgraded later on.

Welcome to Palm City
Pick your first ride

  • For your first ride you can choose between 3 different cars. A 65′ Ford Mustang, an 88′ BMW M3, or a 96′ Nissan 180SX Type X. Also you will see a Camaro, but unfortunately you can not pick that one.
  • I chose the Ford Mustang ’65 as my car. I didn’t do any engine upgrade, unnecessary for this car in my opinion. Save the money for other cars that you will drive more often.
  • I did a track build with my Ford Mustang and it worked out pretty well until I got the BMW i8 and Chevy Corvette. Then switched the Ford Mustang to an rally/off-road build.

Tips and Tricks

Drift Zones – The Mazda Rx7 is really a great and cheap/affordable car.
Long Jumps/Speed traps – The BMW i8 is a great car to use for completing these activities. Plus its free at level 14, just need to pay for upgrades. Another good option is the 911 Porsche RSR ’73. Even though some are off-road, I just equipped either car with off-road tires and I was able to get enough traction and speed to get 3 stars on the jumps.

A lot of them are straight forward and pretty easy, but a few can be tricky. No particular order for these. These are the ones I would say I struggled with the most. There is 1 flamingo (forgot which one it is) that its in the middle of a grass field, but its not on top, its actually in the ground in the tunnel.

Dowtown Palm City

  • I struggled with a few but was able to figure it out by looking at the train track that’s raised up in the air.
  • All you need to do is back track it until you get to the beginning area. There will be a gas station and a ramp next to it.
  • Just keeping driving on the track until you get the 3 collectibles.
    • Billboard 1 – just drive through it.
    • Billboard 2 – use the tracks to get onto the building then just drive through the billboard.
    • Flamingo 1 – just drive to the end until you get to the end which will be an enclosed room.

  • Flamingo 2 – In the same region/district.
    • Its actually in the underground tunnel. Just go to the drift zone and you will see it on the left side.

Rockville

  • Clean Avalanche
    • Need an off-road car build with rally parts to get enough speed and traction. I used the Ford Raptor ’17 with rally upgrades and got this in my first jump.
    • Hit the NOS when you get to the big metal structure with the metal beam on the left.
  • Flying Shun
    • This one is a little tricky, just because you need to be flying in the tunnels and all it takes is bad timing and hitting a car right before the jump.
    • If you look in the tunnels you will see some big black lights on the ceiling. You want to have a 1×15 NOS equipped and hit the NOS when you get to the 3rd light for maximum speed to carry you over and past the jump.

    Eden Shores – Billboard

    • This one took me a while to figure out. It isn’t hard, just need to get the right angle and speed.
    • Get a wider car, more likely to hit it. Car tends to shift towards the right, so consider that when jumping.
    • Start on the side I am on. The other side has a small wall going up so you won’t be able to climb and jump up.
    • Use a 1×15 NOS to give you the boost needed to get speed to hit the billboard.

Miscellaneous Achievements

The “Tricky” Achievements
  • These aren’t hard to do, but can be a little tricky for them to unlock.

Comeback Kid
Go from last to first place during the final lap of a race and win

  • Now this one is easy but a little tricky. It took me 3 attempts before the achievement triggered. I did this in the Palm City Raceway – Resorts Circuit.
  • 1st attempt – I passed some cars, but made sure I was in the 12th spot when I crossed the line, but didn’t work.
  • 2nd attempt – I made sure to stay in the 12th position, and not pass anyone, until I crossed the start/finish line. Achievement did not register.
  • 3rd attempt – Just like my 2nd attempt I crossed the start/finish line and waited for the text “final lap” to disappear from the screen and soon as it disappeared I started passing the other cars, finished the race in 1st, and the achievement unlocked.

Eleven – Fifty Six
Take down 100 Cop Vehicles

  • Just need to hit the rear bumper and sides of a police car.
  • You will complete most of this throughout races and the story missions.
  • I used a car that has good speed and acceleration and then just use NOS for extra force to ram into the cars to take them out.

Warp Speed
Hit 240 mph using any car

  • I used the BMW i8, but any fast car would work. Just find a fairly straight road and just go. I got the BMW i8 up to 230 miles per hour and used a 1×15 NOS take to get to 240.
  • All you need to do is hit 240 for 1 second that’s all.
  • Screenshot shows the road I used to complete this challenge.
