How to unlock the Comeback Kid achievement in Need for Speed Heat - Definitive Guide

Once you're free to explore the world, set the difficulty to easy then enter a circuit race(there is one called tornado near where you start). Here, your car performance is around 125 while the opposition is at 105-110 so you are much quicker.

Simply trail the pack in last place for the first 2 laps, then overtake everyone and win the race. You should win easily on easy with the performance difference.

EDIT - a few people have pointed out they did it online(which will work), however I did do it offline

My experience with this one was I couldn't get it to pop even after multiple races on "Easy" difficulty, I went into settings and set the difficulty to "Medium", then got it first try, being in a solo lobby might also help

Did this with a 6 car race and it didn’t pop. Does it have to be an 8 car race?

Have tried it several times without success. Due to the message from SirThrobbalot69, I switched to medium and got immediate success in the first race.

So, not sure if this method worked for anyone else but instead of jetting into first right after you cross the line into the last lap, ride the last lap for just a little bit until you go into first. I had tried previously 3 times just jumping from last to first but when I hung back just a little longer it popped. The track I used was The resorts circuit, which is the daytona 500 lookin oval outside the first garage. It was pretty easy, im 366 the race was 220. I can't confirm this, but it would be worth a shot to try if your having trouble unlocking.

I unlocked it at the resort circuit. Usually i play solo mode without online players at all. For this achievement i went back to the menu, switched to online and chose solo at the start of the race. After doing this the achievement unlocked right away... i had problems to unlock it during the "normal" solo mode.

I tried to compete against 8, 12 cars in normal mode before, but nothing happened. I confirm that the Kugare method worked for me.

Tried multiple methods but the only thing that worked for me was switching to 'online' mode and doing it solo there.

I can also confirm that you must be in ONLINE MODE in order for it to pop. It can be done on easy.

Doesn't seem to be poppingheadspin

Edit: I eventually got it online. On easy.

I suggest you update the solution.

Popped it instantly by playing Online on Easy using the Tornado event. Stayed in 6th the whole race then started passing as soon as I was on the final lap. Worked the first time.

Medium offline didn't work, going online worked. Tornado is a good track for this.

Did it 3 times, no pop. Shortly afterwards I got the message that the server was closing, so I quit to the lobby, joined a new server and tried it again on the same race and it popped. So perhaps joining another server makes a difference, or maybe it was just coincidence!

I got lucky with this one. Got it on Easy difficulty with a really good car by lapping every other racer and then passing the last-place vehicle near the finish line on the final lap.

KingOfWeight do you remember in which circuit you got the cheevo? I tried your method multiple times but did not work.

If it helps anyone, I did it in a 400+ RSR on the Flash Back circuit (just below your first safe house).

Followed relatively close behind the last car until final lap, then blitzed it. Ez

I tried this on several races and couldn't get it.

I then backed out to the lobby, chose "Play Online", tried to get the achievement again and it popped for me with no issues.

If anyone else is struggling, try doing it while playing online.

I was having a hard time with this one. I did what Naravia suggested after trying on Tornado 3 times. I went online did another race on Tornado and it popped right away! Thanks!

Annoying won’t pop for me either online or offline - using that oval race outside starter garage to go from 12th to 1st on last lap but no joy at all :(

I also tried some other the other methods mentioned but none worked. But I got it to unlock on solo on easy on resorts circuit. I finished lap 1 in 10th position, then dropped back to 12th. I made sure I was 100-150 yards behind 11th place when going into the last lap, then went full throttle to get the win. Acheev popped 1st time.

Yeah this one is bloody weird. I've tried easy 6 cars, easy 8, medium 6, medium 8, trailing last until halfway through last lap even and absolutely nothing has worked so far. Tried multiple circuits as well, 3 lap ones, 4 lap ones etc.

I think this achievement is broken; I had to an online solo race for it to pop.

However, I can confirm that the performance index restrictions doesn't matter; I did a 220 race with a 392 car.

This is the first achievement on this game to give me any trouble so I'm simply sharing the method that worked for me. After playing the 240 rated DAY time circuit race titled "Tornado" 3 times in a 400+ car using the methods provided by others to follow the last car remaining in 8th place until the final lap and then taking 1st place along with the victory I decided to do something a little different. I went to the garage -> back to the lobby/main menu -> started an online session rather than solo -> went to the same exact "Tornado" race and played it solo while in an online lobby -> achievement popped after repeating the exact same steps as the above method. Hope this helps someone.

I tried doing the oval race with 4 laps near to start location in an online session but played it solo. Got the acheevo in the first attempt. Thanks a lot! Very helpful guide.

Completed in solo mode during the day. Switched difficulty to easy. Used a 400+ plus car and did a circuit race with a recommendation of 140. Stayed in last place the whole race until final lap.

modification level 300+ and the “Resort Circuit” race, on the circuit near the garage. We follow the last participant until the last lap, and on the last lap we pour in all the nitro that you have. I managed to overtake the first one by half a lap

The trophy only appeared after I clicked “play online” in the main menu. In single player mode it didn’t fall out even after 10 attempts.

Drozd race, 2 laps, bottom left of the map. My car was a 350, I won without any problems. Don't forget to enter the Online Play mode.

Got it the second time. For the first time, I overtook the 11th person before the last lap, then fell behind, the last one went 100% on the last lap and overtook everyone, but they didn’t give me the trophy.
The second time I was in last position until the last lap, then I overtook everyone and got the trophy.
Take your time, when you are last, the leader is in no hurry, so you can easily overtake him.

Perhaps the trophy is glitchy. I tried several times to overtake everyone on the last lap, but I didn’t fall out.
It fell out when I overtook everyone in the second circle, that is, I was in first position, but I was riding at the end behind the last bot, without overtaking him

If you cannot get this trophy because the first two opponents travel very far, then set the difficulty to low; at this difficulty, the bots travel in a group with a distance of 50-60 meters from each other. The trophy was received at the race by a beam of light (level 300) on a GTR34 with a power of 377

At some point in the race you need to come out on top, then before the cutoff of the final lap you need to drop to last place and then win. As for the rating of the car and the track, the track was higher than the rating of the car. but I cannot accurately explain the influence of this parameter.

In order for the trophy to appear, you need to launch the game online, and the race must correspond to the level of your car. (I tried to complete a level 320 race in a lvl 360 car. The achievement did not appear, then I drove a lvl 400+ car in a lvl 400 race. I got it)
It's easy to beat, the main thing is to switch the difficulty to "low".
It’s more convenient to use the “Resort Track”, which is located above the starting garage; drag at the end and under no circumstances overtake the last one until you see the sign “last lap”.

I tried the options that were offered here, but the trophy never came out. It happened when, at the “Resort Route” race, I was driving first on the first lap, then for 2 laps I was behind the last number and on the 4th lap I overtook everyone again and finished first.

I did everything as the guys described here, but it didn’t work.
In my case, I went through Dex's races.
In Offline mode, on medium difficulty.
I was in the last place the whole race, after the sign appeared that this was the last lap, I won and the trophy fell out.
