Learn how to regain grip, use nitro effectively, and perform the PIT maneuver in Need for Speed Heat Part 39.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    To regain grip immediately after a drift and avoid hitting a wall, hit the nitro for a second. While this wastes some nitro, it helps your car regain traction instantly.
  2. 2
    When using automatic gears, avoid using nitro while the car is shifting. Instead, use a short burst of nitro to reach the shifting point, release it, wait for the new gear, and then reapply nitro to regain speed faster after an obstacle.
  3. 3
    If you find yourself in a bad spin, a short burst of nitro in the direction you want to go can help you recover.
  4. 4
    To spin out opponent vehicles, turn your car to the opposite side of where your car is touching theirs. For example, if your car is hitting their back right bumper, turn left until they spin.
Tips
  • Before buying a car, use the customize mode in the main menu to see if it meets your expectations without spending money.
  • Avoid using nitro at the start of a race, except for drag races. It's more effective in the middle of the race.
  • Use nitro in short, tapped bursts rather than holding it down continuously, especially during turns, to maintain momentum.
  • The PIT (Precision Intercepting Technique or Pursuit Intervention Technique) maneuver can be performed by spinning an opponent's vehicle.
  • You can change the order of songs and select where they are played in the EA GAMES TRAX menu.
