Need For Speed Most Wanted Hints for XBox
Also on: GameCube, PC, PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance
If you are beginning to get the games controls a little(let's say after you beat black list 12/Baron)and you want simple cars that have good tuning abilities then you will have to pick one of the following cars:
Audi TT 3.2 Quattro (Fast gears and makes a funny sound)
Lotus Elise (Small but really fast)
IF you pick one of these and pimp them the way you want them the game will be a lot easier to beat untill you'll get the better cars(From Blacklist 9)
Everyone loves a fast car with good handling. I have found a way to get both in every car you have. When you are racing or driving around in career mode, press start and go into the tuning section. Once there (assuming you have put parts in your car) there will be sliders that you can adjust. If you want good speed with a good amount of nos, stops well and gets off the line quick, make the sliders look like this (vertical bar is the even mark)
Steering: |--
Handling: |--
Brakes: -|
Ride hight: --|
Arodynamics: |---
NOS: -|
Turbo |---
Your car will be a little hard to control at first but once you get used to it you will beat even the hardest setting with the catch up on.
Yo,if you can't pass baron in the drag race here's what you need to do
When he come up block him,if you can't see him keep looking back
Hey all during a pursuit if you go to the bus station (about the middle of the map) up the ramp opposite to the buses then go all the way down to the end of the platform and stop. You'll see the cops ramming each other and the best part about it it's an easy way to gain bounty. How ever if you see the busted bar go to the red zone look back if you see a cop there back up and watch him fall off the ledge it's pretty funny. Peeps I'm telling you I have sat there and smoked a few cigs laughing my ass off watching the cops try top get me but they can't. But eventually you have to evade so the best thing to do is back up to the top of the ramp then floor it NOS and all (especialy in heat 4 and 5). So the next time your playing this great game try this out
Ok if your in a pursuit and you think it's impossible to get away there is. If you go to the baseball stadium (kind of the upper left hand corner) there are two entrances and both entracnes have a pursuit breaker on each side.
So you hit one on the first entrance and then you should hit the brakes but make sure on the other exit you do not hit that pursuit breaker. Then turn around go fast and hit that pursuit breaker. Then you will be trapped inside and no cops can get to you. So wait there until you cooldown all the way. Nut then you have to select jump to safe house because your trapped inside.this has always worked for me if you do it right
If you like evading the cops then this is for you when the cops are chasing you and you can see a spike strip ahead and if you look closely you will be able to see 1, 2,or 3 little white lines on your mini map these are the spike strips the poice also mention where the spike strips are over the radio but if you don't see or hear any of these then jus pull a you turn on a wide road to make it easier to escape.if you get caught out in a tunnel and you can't turn around then head straight for tha car and boost straight for the rear of the car and 7/10 you will destroy the car which means more bounty points so when you are past the spike strip jus carry on ahead and avoid barriers becasue if the cops are close behind you they will block you in and you wont be able to move and if you see a pursuit breaker go for it becasue most of the time the cops will loose you and you get away.if your cooldown meter isnt filled all the way and you can see a safe spot where the cops can't see you then go in it and your meter will fill up alot quicker
Start of at your safe house in rosewood and when you come out of your safe house you will be facing a set of buildings so turn left and and go down the road for about 300 yards and you will see a police station on your right crash through the pill box on the corner then go through to the other end and hit the other pill box and you should hear over the radio that you have been seen in the police station and so on then you have to wait a little while ( I tend to go through the police station a couple of times to get the police attention ) when you have done that head to the bus station ( it's near the donut store, and the petrol station ) wen you are there go up the left ramp which leads onto the buses. Then all you have to do is jus sit and wait for your pursuit time to go up and the longer you can stay on the buses the more bounty points you will get and you can see all the police cars smashin themselves up. The more police cars that get smashed up the better becasue they increase your bounty by up to 25,000 a time. But beware as some people have said that you will be fine sitting on top of the buses but sometimes you are not. If your heat level is above 3 then the police cars might venture onto the buses where you are but if you keep looking behind you then you wont get caught out becasue they can be sittin jus behind you and then you will get busted without even noticing them but if you do notice them you can pull the throttle and boost of the buses and then go through the pursuit breaker to loose some of the cops and then turn around and go back onot the buses and start the pursuit all over again. If your heat level gets to 5 then I recomend you should change the appearance of your car becasue if you go bak onto the buses in a new persuit with your heat level at 5 you will be persued by some very intelligent cops in very quick cars so watch your heat level. I am on blacklist number 2 by going on the buses to get my bounty up and you can also complete the milestones you need to race your next opponent
To beat the road blocks easily, hit the speadbreaker before you hit it. Don't try ans swerve around while in speedbreaker mode, just ram into the vehicle. You will only slow down 30-40 mph, and you will destroy the car you hit most of the time.
1. Sometimes high horsepower cars have this problem: If they crash during a police chase and/or get run off of the road and lose speed, it is hard for the car to get back up to top speed even when holding the gas button all the way down. You can hear the loud engine revving but the car barely goes anywhere (only for automatic transmissions). This is because the game doesn't automatically shift for you because it senses that you are still going to slow to shift to the next gear. If this happens, shift up to the next gear manually and your car should start going faster again. The game will automatically revert to automatic transmission afterwards.
2. These tactics are useful if you are doing police chases that have severe time requirements (like the last challenge in the challenge series where you have to evade cops after a 30 minute pursuit). If you need to be in a pursuit for substantial lengths of time, there is a small rotary close to a football field. To get there start a pursuit at the Rosewood police station. When you start the pursuit, you will be facing the police station entrance. Turn around and take your second right. Follow the road until you reach the area where there is a big doughnut shop. You should be able to see the small rotary on your minimap. If not, keep searching the vicinity for it. After you find it, steer your car around it over and over again. It is repetitive, but at least you don't have to worry about roadblocks, which become really deceptive in later heat levels. The AI of the cops will become screwed up, and the cops will do various things: they will either just sit there in the road, trying to back up and go forwards at the same time, get stuck in the middle pathways, or drive around crashing into other cops or walls. It is better when there is only a chopper tailing you. Just keep driving around in circles in the rotary with the chopper overhead and you are increasing your pursuit timer without actually going anywhere. If you want to end the pursuit, head on the road going north and take the first left to the football stadium. Crash through the fist big signpost to eliminate chasing cops, and then crash through the other one at the far end of the stadium for good measure. A cooldown area awaits just after the second signpost. It will be a small, sheltered parking area. After you evade the cops, just sit there until your cooldown meter is filled.
3. Police roadblocks should be avoided at all costs unless it helps you accomplish one of your requirements. Even though it is fun watching cops fly everywhere from the impacts, all they do is slow you down and multiply the chance that you will be caught. At higher heat levels, the cops sometimes actually set the spike strips BEHIND the parked SUV's so that you don't see the spikes until it is too late. Also, try to avoid narrow roadways and tunnels as much as possible. You will not be able to dodge roadblocks on these roads on higher heat levels. Also, it will be MUCH harder to dodge spike strips and incoming police SUV's because there is less room to maneuver.
I'm not sure if it's just chance but on the first 5 Blacklist members, their Pink Slip orders were: Left. Middle. Right. Middle.left.
I hope that's the same with all other copies of the game. (by the way, I haven't beaten any of the other blacklist members so I don't know if this pattern continues. :D
If you are in a race and get the cops on you just finish the race, then you restart the race (y). Then quit out of the race. The race should be completed also you should have the cash with no cops.
EASY BOUNTY
If you want easy bounty get into Level 5 and try to get to the bus station. In level 5 your bounty goes up 25,000 every ten seconds. Go onto the left ramp and hop on top of the buses until you get your bounty you want (it will say evade sometimes so go to the edge until they see you and you can stay up there). Now for the hard part, run off the buses and drive around the highway for a while until you lose them all. You will have to dodge road blocks and spike strips but it's all worth it. I got over 2,000,000 bounty by doing this. I traded paint with over 40 cop cars aswell. You will have to slow down when you get to road blocks, sometimes they have spikes everywhere and the cars are hard to bust through. When in cooldown find a hiding place or they'll keep on finding you and WHALLA! You have lots of bounty. I'm up to Blacklist 2 (BULL) and I have 2,000,000 more bounty than I need for him.
BLACKLIST CARS
I found that the Blacklist Car is mainly in the middle of the question mark cards. I'm up to Bull (blacklist 2) and have got around 7 cars by picking the middle one. It might not work on yours but I thought it would be worth posting up. 7/10 times I reckon would it would have the car there. When it doesnt I always go for the left one because it's mostly in there if not in the middle. I have got Sonny's(blacklist 15) Taz' (blacklist 14) Vic's (blacklist 13) Izzy's (blacklist 12) Big Lou's (blacklist 11) Baron's (blacklist 10) Ming's (blacklist 6) Webster's (blacklist 5) JV's (blacklist 4) Ronnie's (blacklist 3). Those are all of the cars I got, about 2 of them weren't from the middle, I think Baron's and know it was Sonny's. I sold all but JV's, Ronnie's and Ming's.
Hope this helped you out cause it hurt my fingers, Later!
To avoid spike strips aim for the rear of a car in the roadblock at full speed,you should smash right through
K First You start a bounty and then you get on the free way(or high way whatever it is) go around it twice. Then go to the bus station then go on top of the plat form and sit. If a cop comes up there and makes you go off drive off then when you hit the ground prees the back button and wala your back up on top. You can do this for as long as you desire. I would suggest that you get back up on you firts couse if you have 1 cop on you youll lose him or her on the top.
Note: Save before you race against a Blacklist Boss!
When you have defeated a Blacklist Boss, you get to choose two markers from that boss.Choose one of the three "?" in order to get the pinkslip. If you do get the pinkslip, either keep the car or sell it. I suggest keep the car(s) then sell them later when you really need the cash. If you don't get the pinkslip, don't worry. Turn off your Xbox console and try again. The bad news is, you have to race the Blacklist Boss again, sorry!
Here's a fun way to play with the cops.
Get the cops after you. Then go to the bus place and take the left hand ramp up, then drive till you are on top of the buses.
Wait there until the cop starts ramming the buses.
If the cooldown meter comes up drive to the edge of the buses till he sees you, then it will repeat.
This will get your bounty up.
After you win a race, go to a shop and change some parts or the paint, it will bring the heat way down.
When you beat a boss when of those black something guys you get 2 sections of things to pick and also in the bouns there is a get outa jair free pass, pink slip to openments car and extra money.And also you COULD get jumk man parts from the other 3 things I don't kno what the othere things you can get on those.
When you are racing a blacklist member try to get them to follow you, and hit a pursuit breaker and they will slow down and won't get up for a while.
When racing a blacklist member try to get them behind you then hit a pursuit breaker and that will slow them down and they won't get back up in a while.
