Anyone who has already driven one or two races in the new Need for Speed Unbound will certainly have already made the acquaintance of the police. Depending on the offense or which race you have run and whether it is day or night, the wanted level can increase from 1 to level 5. While it is usually quite easy to outrun and escape the police at the first two levels, it becomes more difficult at the higher levels. This is partly because the police are reinforced with better vehicles and there is even a helicopter circling above you, which you can’t shake off so easily. In this situation, the question often arises: How can you lower the wanted level and get rid of the police completely?
NfS Unbound: Lower the wanted level and delete it?
If you manage to get out of the police’s field of vision and escape, the wanted status remains intact and the police continue to search for your car. While most races increase the wanted level, especially the night races, there are also some activities that can reduce the heat level. This includes some activities such as taking a car from A to B, which can be used to reduce a heat level of 5 to level 3. Otherwise, you can only lower and reset your wanted level by either going to a garage or hiding place and taking the money you earned during the session to safety, or by allowing yourself to be arrested by the police. If you get caught by the police and arrested, then the money you earned in the session is lost.
Unlike in other racing games or open-world games like Grand Theft Auto 5, in NfS Unbound you cannot get rid of the wanted level from level 2 onwards and completely remove it by simply hiding somewhere, turning off the engine and waiting. There are also no NPCs or buildings where you can lower or reset the wanted level for payment.
If you can’t escape the police at wanted level 5, we have a little trick on the next page that you can use to always escape the police.
Tip: You can use this trick to quickly earn money in Need for Speed Unbound.
