[GUIDE] Road to Crew LVL50 [+INVITE]

In this guide I want to share some information for newcomers or casuals in terms of REP and cash gain (no glitches involved). By following these things I created a new crew and ranked it to LVL50.

Also, you can join the crew if you want.

This guide is split into three sections:

1. Crew Information and Invite
   
2. Gaining REP
   
3. Gaining CASH

Introduction

After finishing the solo career I started a new crew and leveled it straight up to max REP which equals nearly 67 Mio REP points in total.

You can visit this page[nfs.fandom.com] if you want to know how many REP points are required for each crew level.

In the following I want to share some information on how to make good progress in the game without using glitches.

Crew Information and Invite

Crew Name: Asphalt Criminal
Crew Tag: COD3
Platform: PC (obviously)
Open Slots: 0 (the crew is full)

If you are searching for an easy way to make progress in terms of your solo career in NFS Heat, you can join this crew. A LVL50 crew will give you extra cash and REP on finished races. You also unlock an achievement and the ability to buy the Ferrari FXX-K Evo.

My personal notes on this crew thing:

• I don't care if you are active or not
  
• I don't care if you are exclusively into solo play or not
  
• I don't care what level you are right now
  
• I don't care at all
  
• Behave

You can search the crew ingame and apply, or, if this is not working or nothing happens for days, you can also write a comment under this guide so I can send you an invitation (ingame name required).

Update 8 Jan 2023: The crew is full

Gaining REP

My advice for gaining REP in NFS Heat is simply by attending high REP sprint races and returning to the garage on heat level 5. There are also some circuit races available at night, but you don't want to run into the cops again after escaping them (since they are still roaming around).

If you are in the early stages of the career, look out for such high REP sprint races that are available to you. Since your car isn't good enough yet to outrun the cops at heat level 5, I would suggest to make 1 or 2 of those sprint races, then return to the Palm City Raceway (the oval) and drive through the speed trap there until heat level 5 is reached. If cops are chasing you there, you can try to escape them at high speed. If this is not working, you can use the ramp that lets you jump outside the arena. The cops won't follow you there.

Once you unlocked all available sprint races at night in NFS Heat (which comes really quick), there is a nice chain of events available. Therefore you won't lose too much time in the REP grind.

You start at the garage at Palm City Raceway.

Then, attend the following 6 races in this order:

1. Ring Racer
   
2. Axiom
   
3. Maori Venture
   
4. Discovery C
   
5. Discovery A
   
6. Discovery B

The benefit here is that there are only little gaps between the races on the map. Only between #2 and #3 there is a smaller gap to close. You can also restart a race, but I wouldn't recommend this since the REP gain will decrease on the 2nd run. It makes more sense to run those 6 races once, then return to the garage and go for it again.

After race #4 you will probably have heat level 5. This shouldn't be too much of a deal for the last two races since these discovery races are nearly "flat out" at the end. So you can simply outrun the cops at +330km/h (supposed you have a good street racing car).

At the end of race #6 there is a garage close to the finish line. Enter the garage and take your 1.5 Mio REP points.

Gaining CASH

There are some money glitches out there, but I don't know if they work on PC and in my opinion money isn't too much of a problem in NFS Heat.

There are some "Time Trial" events around the map. After you finshed such a time trial, you can restart the race and gain the exact same amount of money again. You don't have to beat the best time for this. A solid time is enough.
