Where do you actually find the black market crates in NFS Heat? Is there an overview somewhere with the locations of the new black market crates? One or two players who have downloaded the new update for Need for Speed Heat may have asked something similar in the last few days. With the new update, two new cars come into play, including the McLaren F1 ’93 and the Aston Martin DB11 Volante ’18. While the McLaren F1 is currently only available for a fee, you can pick up the Aston Martin DB11 for free in the southwest of the map. Once you get the Aston Martin, additional Black Market challenges will be unlocked. The challenges also include the task “Grills in a box” with the description “Collect 5 of the black market boxes scattered around the container area”. The question arises, where can you find the black market boxes at the container port?
Need for Speed Heat: Black Market Crates Locations
The black market crates for the challenge can all be found at the container port, but some of the crates are very well hidden and therefore not that easy to find. If you are looking for the locations of the boxes, you should watch the linked video guide from the YouTube channel cakechieveables.
By the way, there are other black market boxes in the Need for Speed Heat game world, for example at the empty mall or at the launch pad. However, the five boxes shown are enough to successfully complete the first black market challenge.

How to reset the car if it is on the roof in Need for Speed Heat? Anyone who has already spent an hour or two with NfS Heat and has already driven one or two races will perhaps have rolled over and found themselves with the car loaded on the roof. Occasionally you are forced off the road by the police and your car gets stuck. The question arises, how can you reset the car in NfS Heat and get it back on the road?
Need for Speed Heat: Reset Car
If you have put the car on the roof in Need for Speed Heat, you simply have to hold down the X button (PS4) or the A button (Xbox One) for around three seconds and continue to press the accelerator pedal. The car then automatically reverses and lands back on the road. By the way, it is important that the car is stationary. Only when the car stops moving can you reset it and turn it around again by pressing the X or A button.
In rare cases, the car is stuck so badly that even resetting it as described above doesn’t work. In order to get the car back on the road, you usually have to reload the save game. If you are currently in a race, the race will of course end prematurely and have to be repeated.
Tip: This is how you can sell a car in NfS Heat. We also show how you can unlock the new Need for Speed part, the ultimate parts for the car and change the engine.
Where to find the empty mall and launch pad in Need for Speed Heat? This may be the question asked by one or other NFS Heat player who is currently doing the new Black Market challenge called “Cleanup” with the description “Collect 20 Black Market Crates scattered throughout the empty Mall and Launch Pad areas” that comes with the March update came into play alongside the two new cars in the form of the Aston Martin DB11 Volante (2018) and the McLaren F1 (1993). In addition to the question of where the black market crates were found, there is also the question of where is the empty mall and the launch pad in the game?
Need for Speed Heat: Where is the empty mall and launch pad?
The empty mall refers to the empty shopping center in the middle of the map near Edgewood Valley. The boxes can also be found on the mall; if you approach the boxes, they will also appear. The other location is the launch pad. The launch pad can be found in the very south of the map at Cape Castille. In the district you can see a large launch pad with a rocket and you can also find some black market crates in the area.
Find black market crates at the empty mall and launch pad
Many of the black market crates for the challenge can be found relatively easily at the mall and launch pad by simply exploring the area. If you get closer to the boxes, they will be shown to you. If you still have problems finding the 20 black market boxes, we can recommend the linked video guide from the YouTube channel “cakechieveables”, where you can see all the locations again.
Once you have collected the 20 crates, the Black Market Challenge should also appear completed.
What does the purple symbol with the star at the car dealer actually mean? If you want to buy a new car in the new Need for Speed Heat, you have to go to the car dealer. The car dealer is shown on the map with a kind of hand symbol and can also be reached by fast travel. In order to unlock more cars at the car dealer, you have to collect REP points and increase the REP level. You can then use the money you earn to buy a new car. If you scroll through the car list, some players will probably notice the purple symbol or the purple star and the question arises, what does that mean?
Need for Speed Heat: Purple star at the car dealer
The purple star is displayed on cars whose optical tuning cannot be adjusted at all or only to a limited extent in the garage. You can see the symbol especially on expensive cars that have been heavily modified ex works or that are special editions, such as the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Coupe or the McLAREN P1 GTR.
How much you can modify and visually tune a car can be seen not only from the purple symbol with the star, but also from the so-called tuning rating. If a car has a low tuning rating, the customization options are very limited and sometimes the car can hardly be customized except for a few parts. With a car with a high tuning rating, you can make a lot of adjustments to the car.
In addition to the purple symbol at the car dealer, many Need for Speed Heat players are also wondering what the exclamation mark on the map actually means. The exclamation mark will always appear on the map during a race if the race is available for different levels with different ratings. Depending on how high the rating is, the level of difficulty also increases. At the same time, you also get more money or REP points for the races (depending on whether you race during the day or night).
Tip: These are the fastest cars in Need for Speed Heat.
How do you actually open the live tuning in Need for Speed Heat? What exactly can you set with live tuning in NfS Heat on the PS4, Xbox One or PC? If you accidentally come across the control pad while playing and press the D-pad to the right, a small window opens with the live tuning. Using live tuning, you can change various settings directly in the game (and of course also in the middle of a race). These include, for example, steering sensitivity, downforce, traction control and drift style. The Drift Style setting is quite handy, as NfS Heat defaults to drifting using the throttle. To drift you have to pump the shoulder button, i.e. keep pressing and releasing it. The drift control will certainly not please everyone and that’s why you can switch the drift style from “Gas” to the classic control with the “Brake”. Changing the traction control is also very practical in most cases when drifting in the drift zones.
This is how you open the live tuning
PS4: Press the control pad to the right twice
Xbox One: Press the control pad to the right twice
PC: Press 6 on the num pad
In the live tuning you can now make various settings and, for example, change the drift style as described above or activate/deactivate the traction control.
If you want to close the live tuning, you simply have to press the control pad to the left twice. We have summarized further tips and tricks for Need for Speed Heat on our subpages. So we have listed the fastest cars in NfS Heat and we also show how you can farm REP and level up quickly. We also give tips on how you can earn money quickly, especially at the beginning, so that you can buy more cars from the car dealer and other performance parts in the garage.
How do you actually level a crew in Need for Speed Heat? How to quickly level the crew and what is the max level? This question may be asked by one or other player from the new NfS Heat who has either created a crew themselves or joined a crew. The crews in NfS Heat are not only useful for teaming up with friends and other players, but are also worthwhile due to various rewards. You get various crew rewards, including a REP, money and heat bonus, as well as a very special reward when you reach the max level.
Need for Speed Heat: Level up your crew quickly
If you want to level up the crew, all you have to do is collect REP points. It is of course an advantage if you have as many members as possible who also collect some REP for the crew, and you can level the crew relatively quickly and bring it to the max level. We have already created a short guide on how to get REP points quickly.
You can also search for and join a crew that has already reached level 50 and thus benefit from rewards such as money, heat and REP boosts.
Crew rewards and max levels
The max level or maximum level of crews in Need for Speed Heat is 50. When you reach level 50, you not only get a 10 percent bonus for REP, money and heat, but you also get another reward: a Ferrari FXX-K Evo.
Level 1 – 2.5% REP bonus
Level 5 – 2.5% cash bonus
Level 10 – 2.5% Heat bonus
Level 15 – 5.0% REP bonus
Level 20 – 5.0% cash bonus
Level 25 – 5.0% Heat bonus
Level 30 – 7.5% REP bonus
Level 35 – 7.5% money bonus
Level 40 – 7.5% Heat bonus
Level 45 – 10% REP bonus
Level 48 – 10% money bonus
Level 49 – 10% Heat bonus
Level 50 – Ferrari FXX-K Evo
Tip: These are the fastest cars in NfS Heat. We will also show you the best drift cars and off-road cars in the game.
On Linux, the best way to reliably share files from one computer to another is with NFS. Hosting an NFS server on Linux is not impossible, but it is difficult for beginners. If you’re wanting to get a couple of NFS shares up and running, your best bet is to use OpenMediaVault. It is a robust and easy-to-use NAS solution for beginners with a web-based GUI tool that simplifies the configuration of NFS shares.
To follow this guide, you will need to have OpenMediaVault installed on your Linux server, as well as adequate hard drive space to store all the data for NFS. Follow our tutorial and learn how to install OpenMediaVault, then come back to this article and follow this guide to configure NFS shares.
Configure the file system
Setting up an NFS share in OpenMediaVault first requires a usable file system. Unfortunately, OMV does not allow the user to create a share from the web UI on the operating system’s hard drive. This is why we recommend using a dedicated hard drive for data. If you can’t afford to use multiple hard drives, consider reinstalling OpenMediaVault and following a custom partition setup instead of the automatic one in setup. Another option would be to virtualize OpenMediaVault. Using the operating system as a virtual machine allows users to create custom virtual hard drives.
Once you have connected the second hard drive, open the OMV web UI (https: //ip.address.of.omv.server), find in the sidebar “Storage” and click on the option “Disks ». . Look under the drives and make sure the second hard drive is properly listed there. Click “clean” to delete everything.
When the hard drive is blank, go back to “Storage” and click on “File systems”. You’ll notice that only /dev/sda1 (the main OS drive) appears in this menu. The reason the second drive isn’t listed is that it doesn’t have a file system. To create a new one, click the “+ Create” button and select “/dev/sdb” from the “Device” menu in the pop-up window.
Note: always use Ext4 as the file system, if you are not sure.
Now that the new /dev/sdb filesystem is up and running, you will see it on /dev/sda1. To make use of this hard drive, select /dev/sdb1 from the menu, then click “Mount”.
Create shared folders
The use of NFS in OpenMediaVault requires a shared folder. To create one, look at the sidebar under “Services” for “NFS” and click on it. Click on “Share”. and then select “+ Add” to create a new folder. It is important not to use an existing shared folder that is being used by another service in OMV.
In the “Add Share” menu, there are many options. The first of which is a menu that allows the user to select an existing share. In this menu, click the + sign. Clicking + brings up a submenu. In this submenu, you will need to fill in the information for the new shared folder.
The first thing you will need to fill in is “Name”. Enter a name and then continue with “Device”. Under device, click the dropdown menu and look for “/dev/sdb1” as this is the hard drive we configured earlier.
After completing the “Device” section, all that remains is “Path”, “Permissions” and “Comment”. Skip the “Path” section, as OpenMediaVault will do it for you, and go to “Permissions”.
Look in the Permissions area and find the correct setting for your use case. When you’re done, fill in a comment about the share and click “Save.”
Clicking the Save button will exit the submenu and return to the original menu that opens when “+ Add” is clicked. In this menu, do the following:
Under “Client”, enter 192.168.1.0/24.
After the “Client” option, go to “Privilege” and select Read/Write.
Add the share to the system by clicking “Save”.
Enable NFS in OpenMediaVault
Now that we have a shared folder for NFS to use, click on the “Settings” tab in the NFS area. Enable NFS on your OpenMediaVault NAS by clicking the slider next to “Enable”, then select the “Save” button. Be sure to also click “Apply” on the popup that says “Settings have been changed. You must apply the changes for them to take effect.”
Do you need to disable NFS? Click the slider again to turn it off, then select “Save” to save your changes.
Delete NFS shares
To remove an NFS share in OpenMediaVault, select “NFS” under “Services” and then click “Shares”. In the shares menu, highlight the share you want to remove and click “X Remove” to remove it.
Access NFS shares
With the help of OpenMediaVault, setting up something as tedious as NFS becomes much easier. Despite this, accessing shared resources can still be a chore. If you’re not sure how to access and use NFS shares on Linux, do yourself a favor and follow our tutorial. Covers everything there is to know about NFS access on Linux.
