How To Get Ultimate Parts Nfs Heat

Need for Speed Heat 7 (1)

When playing through Need for Speed Heat and upgrading your car, you might spot that there are some parts that aren't unlocked simply by increasing your Rep level.

If you're wanting to max out your car's performance, you're going to need to unlock Ultimate parts, and that's only possible by completing Need for Speed Heat's High Heat Races.

High Heat Races in Need for Speed Heat are very challenging, so you're probably better off trying to attempt them when you've put a decent amount of time into the game and learned the map. When you feel you are ready, to access High Heat Races you need to explore Palm City at night, and raise your heat level to 3 or higher.

How you get to heat level 3 is up to you, but to prepare for High Heat Races it's best to avoid the police as much as possible. Complete events without getting caught, and move to new areas of the map afterwards where there's less police presence. And when you're close to heat level 3, perhaps try to complete some activities to nudge you over the threshold.

Once you've hit heat level 3, check your map – a High Heat race will now be available. Its icon will look like a wheel, and "Heat 3" should be at the side of it. Place your cursor over the event and you'll see that it's a High Heat race, awarding you a considerable amount of Rep and Bank if completed, as well as a performance part. When you hit heat level 5, another High Heat race will unlock. It'll have the same icon, but with "Heat 5" at the side.

To start a High Heat race in Need for Speed Heat you need to drive to it as usual, and you can't be currently being pursued by cops. Your opponents in High Heat races scale to your car, so they're always challenging, and police will have more of a presence, too, making matters more complicated. Win the race and the rewards are great, however. And you'll grab a new performance part simply by finishing in the top 5.

Up to Rep level 49, the performance parts awarded for finishing in the top 5 in a High Heat race will be Elite quality. Once you hit Rep level 50, however, the parts awarded become Ultimate parts. Once you've been awarded an Ultimate part, you can buy it for other cars, too. Heat 3 races award standard Ultimate parts, while Heat 5 races award Ultimate + parts. The good thing is, you once you've acquired a part, you don't need to make it back to a safe house to obtain it. So don't worry if you get busted by the cops or get wrecked.
