Need for Speed Unbound

This is the way. Took me 3 attempts but got 289k in the end and also broke my combo twice. Used the hellcat 100% drift tune. Week 3 day 2 also.

1st attempt on takahashi 287K with the new Nissan GTR, up to S+, fully neutral upgrade & tune - road/off road 0%, grip/drift 0%, tracton control off & brake tap to drift.

I used 2019 Charger SRT Hellcat with drift tune to get 3 stars in drift zones with ease. Maybe it is just me, but it seemed to be the best drift car I had.

Manage to make 251 first try, in the Takahashi évent Witherspoon Nissan GTR full neutral upgrade with 20 % drift in the car settings.

I would recommend trying to go for as many of the combo bonuses as possible, then break your combo intentionally but keep your multiplier. I'm pretty sure the only reason I was able to hit over 250k is because I hit the combo bonuses 20+ times throughout the drift event.

Very helpful making an S+ 60% drift Silvia K (had to waste quite a bit of money with an engine swap and every other mod)got this first try on the Takahashi Special (post game day 2) just keep drifting. The WHOLE time. You look like an idiot, but perhaps that's the point. Got 280k EZ even with 1 or 2 reset checkpoints.

I really struggled on this one but found this video on YouTube got it first try :)

Big thanks on the drift event, used the silvia you get after completion and shifted some settings to up the drift action.

Why i have flow master but not in the flow achievement?😒

Just got this acheevo on my 2nd attempt in Takahashi Special event with 251,606 pts. Used the Silvia K that we get after completing the Grand. Handling set to %60 drift. Used drift tires, elite clutch, sport differential and nitrous drift auxiliary. It was challenging for me since we almost need to hold the drift + nitrous combo until the end of race. Sometimes i was about to miss checks since car is hard to control. Thank you for this guide. This dodge charger helped me to get 200K score achievement on my first try. Good luck to everyone who tryna hunt this!

Nice tip hamster, got over 290k on my first run. Guide could be better formatted though. And mention the event is bottom left on the map and you cam skip the first day and night by quickly getting busted

Thank you Brianstormed, I finally got it following your recommendation of going for combo bonuses, then breaking it once you get to three of them but keeping my 5x multiplier. Got it my first try when focusing on breaking that combo bonus. Got 300k points!!!

This is a good solution, but just in case there's anyone else like me that seemed to find this achievement an unreasonable struggle - I finally got it with the drift-tuned Hellcat on a practice takeover at the northwest meetup. Took 5 or 6 tries to put a decent run together, but on the succesful run I took the first couple of laps to clear out most of the smashables, drifting when I could between gates, then final lap was almost all drift and just fast as possible, picking up any purple barrels that were left along the way. I navigated lines of smashables by pretty much braking to a stop and nitro tapping to run through them. I also stopped to bank score once the combo maxed out so I could earn more combo bonuses - which I'd say was essential, as I wouldn't have cracked 250k without them.

I tried other takeovers, but they just didn't seem to have quite enough smashables or driftable loops to hit the score. I also tried the takehashi but just couldn't seem to get the hang of the combo banking without losing my multiplier (that track is a lot narrower than takeover courses). Almost certainly due to my lack of skill, but figured I'd post this in case I'm not the only one

I took Deacon's advice (Porsche GT2 RS) and Maka's advice (Takahashi special S+ drift and 55% drift handling and got 254k. Would recommend.

Another alternative is just using a takeover practice site. I used the fully upgraded Hellcat as well with about 80% drift. The key is to maximize boost and drift to keep multiplier at 5 while hitting the point targets. Took a couple of tries to get the right consistency but overall not that difficult.

The 2019 charger appeared for me to win it in week 3 I’ve been running the story again for a friend and it’s not appeared to win in week 3… but the car is available for him to purchase…

Now I’m in week 4 and went to day 2 and can not get 250k tried the GTR you win for Qualifier 3… just hope the event appears again or a different drift event

Can confirm… that after the story is finished you can get both the Dodge Charger as a winnable car and the Takahashi event will appear…

If it doesn’t appear just go out start a cop chase, escape and head home until the event appear

I found the Hellcat 2019 with a 100% drift tune to be a pretty bad car for this, really slow, only got 80k on the first lap so quit out.

I ended up using the Silvia K you win at the end of the story, handling set to the right at 60% drift, managed to get 281k with a lot of serpentining on the straights.

On a drift event it was waaayyy easier,thank you

Love the drift event, got pretty good score. Found the Hellcat to be awful though. Just understeered like crazy, and felt really heavy no matter how I tuned the handling.

Thanks i Made 290000 on my rx7 on takahashi on the first try!

I finnaly cracked it, first reach to x5 multiplier. Then drift as hard as you can, reach 5k points while drifting and fully stop. Let the points fully register. Tap the nitrous quickly afterwards so you don't lose your multiplier, repeat. I got 255k easily, I didn't even smash all the obstacles. I used the Nissan Silvia K's (1998). Engine: 444 bhp 3.0l Flat 6. Max engine parts, used turbo charger elite. Chasis: Road suspension, max breaks and drift tires. Max drivetrain. Auxiliary: Nitrous drift.
