Evade the Cops in Need for Speed Most Wanted
The police in the racing game Need For Speed: Most Wanted are quite hard to lose, especially if your heat level is high or if you have a slow car. Here are some tips on how to lose them
Contents
Steps
- If your heat level is high, lower it. If you have another car in your garage, use that to win races and escape from the cops. Over time, your other car(s) will cool down. To cool them down faster, change their appearance. Change body kits, spoilers, roof scoops, rims, paint, vinyls etc. Anything but performance upgrades will cool your car down.
- Have a fast car. Try focusing on the acceleration more so if you have crashed into a lorry (or truck), you'll be able to pick up speed quicker. But don't increase the acceleration TOO much, or your top speed will probably only be 135mp/h!
- Outrun them. Use the good ol' back try strategy; If the cops are in front of you, spin them out of control by hitting their rear tyre.
- Don't press the 'Reset Car' key. Otherwise the pursuit bar will quickly (and unrealistically) go to the 'Busted' side.
- If there are a lot of cars on your back, use a Pursuit Breaker. However, if there aren't any, try making them crash into oncoming traffic (the big lorry/truck is the best one).
- The second you have entered 'Cooldown' mode, find a hiding spot IMMEDIATELY. If there aren't any near you, make your own one!
- Don't run into spikes. Otherwise your tires will be busted and soon you will be too!
Tips
- Also use speedbreaker if you are approaching a roadblock/spike strip.
- Try to complete as many milestones as you can, they'll increase your bounty, therefore making you more notorious in the Blacklist
- If there are SUVs headed your way, enter speedbreaker and either evade them or run into them. Don't hit them head on however - that was they were built for. Instead, hit them on their sides.
Warnings
- PLEASE don't do this in real life. This will NEVER happen. You'll immediately get busted the second you're in a pursuit with the cops, no matter how skilled you are at losing virtual ones.
- The police could use Step 3 on you, so look out!
- Don't get too mad when you are busted.
