If you want to increase your reputation, you have to hit the streets at night in Need for Speed: Heat. Reputation points, also known as REP, are primarily gained by chasing the police - although you also have to escape. You can find out how to farm REP quickly here.
How does REP work in NfS: Heat
While you participate in events during the day to collect money , at night it's all about reputation points, i.e. REP. As a reward for completing events, you will receive reputation points, which will be credited to your account. However, you must secure the REP of each night by driving to a hiding place and ending the darkness for the time being. If you get caught by the police beforehand, you'll lose reputation points, money and the heat multiplier - it really hurts!
Speaking of Heat Multiplier, the more attention you draw at night, the more your Heat level will increase. You can do this by completing events, escaping chases, or completing activities like long jumps or speed traps. You can reach a maximum of heat level 5. The cops will arm themselves accordingly and act aggressively. By the way, if you manage to farm 1,000,000 REP in just one night, you will get the trophy "Cash in" .
Tips on how to farm REP more easily
In our general tips guide , we have already provided you with some tips on how to escape from the police more easily. Since these are essential if you want to farm REP, here are the most important tricks again:
- Stay close to the water, steer towards it and just before that, use the handbrake to drift so that the cops fall into the water and are automatically destroyed.
- Speed only really gets you further in the first two heat levels. Rather drive through dense housing estates and try to outrun the police with constant changes of direction.
- Once you have escaped, you should hide and turn off the engine by pressing L1 + Square or LB + X.
You can easily farm reputation points by constantly completing activities on the map while escaping. This can be long jumps, speed traps or drift zones , although we cannot really recommend the latter with this method. All you have to do is get a star in any activity and depending on your heat level, you will get additional reputation points.
Of course, you can also bring your heat level to 5 first and then complete the activities. Here, for example , Downtown Palm City is a good choice . There are two speed traps here (one east and one mid-south) that you can easily complete with a mid-range car. You keep driving back and forth here and in an emergency you can easily escape because there is a hiding place to the north-west. The speed traps give you about 10,000 REP per pass at heat level 5.
Very important if you want to farm REP and increase your reputation: Remember that you can only drive through a gas station and repair your vehicle three times each night . Even with a total loss you lose all your reputation points.
Earn 3 million REP in an hour
YouTuber GarnZenture discovered a very simple and effective method on his channel. We don't want to withhold these from you here. With a minimum heat level and therefore very little risk, you can earn almost three million REP in one hour.
The Palm City Raceway area hosts the Flying Dutchman sprint race at night . With a recommended performance rating of 340, you will receive almost 39,000 REP as a reward - even at heat level 0. The race is not very demanding and lasts just under two minutes. With the corresponding bonuses, almost 100,000 REP will be credited to your account when you complete the event.
Already knew? As you level up your Crew, you'll get even more REP and Heat bonuses.
If you want to earn even more reputation points, you can simply restart the sprint race. However, this only works if you are not being pursued by the cops. Cancel the start immediately and you will automatically end up in the garage. The collected REP are safe.
Increase event level and earn more REP
A hint that we have already given you in the guide to earning money can also be very useful at night. Watch out for yellow exclamation marks on events on the map . You can level up races and get more REP as a result. The only requirement is a faster car.
