Save money early on

Making money in Need for Speed Heat is easy when you’ve beaten the story mode and have reached Rep Level 50, but until then you need to be smart with your spending or you could find yourself hurting for cash. As with F1 22, you should sink all of your earnings into a few cars that you know you’ll be using regularly instead of buying every new car that unlocks and/or fully upgrading cars you probably won’t use very often. This is one of the best Need for Speed Heat tips and will help you to get to max level faster so that you can buy whatever you want with little worry.

Pick smart places to grind

Speaking of money, when you need to earn some cash, it is best to stick to fast and easy tracks, such as Palm City Raceway. That’s because this track is elliptical so you don’t have to put much effort into your driving – you just need to go fast. Other simplistic tracks are good for grinding too if you just want to turn off your brain and earn money. This is one of the best Need for Speed Heat tips for beginners.

Lessen the grind with friends

If you hate grinding, one of the best Need for Speed Heat tips is to play with friends. When you join a crew or start one yourself, you get a few bonuses that will make the grind easier, such as boosts to the experience and money that you’re rewarded with. Another great bonus is that these reward boosters mean that you can still get good EXP even if you don’t finish first in the race.

Succeeding at night races

Doing night races is a great way to earn cash and EXP, but diving in head first is a bad idea. For one thing, you don’t want to try night races with the starter cars. They simply aren’t fast enough to outrun the cops easily. It would help if you also did night races offline, or with a group of friends. This is because online issues such as randomly spawning cop cars, rubberbanding, and lag can easily ruin your race.
