CAN'T DRIFT? TRY THIS! | My Need for Speed Heat Drifting Technique 

Coming from someone who can drift, with manual+clutch, on Forza; Drifting in this game is a pain in the fuckin' ass, no lies bruh.

I have 326k on Raceway, and easy 1mil on drift events. Your drift videos are good, but not often providing the right advice. Nothing against it, I love your race videos, helped me tune the rsr and post up 1.26.49 on raceway. Read below and test if you wish to. I have figured out the easiest way to get the highest points. You can be as lazy as you want but you'll still end up beating what you have on your boards. 1. CAR - no matter what tune you use, 99% of the cars will never be good at all 3 below, 1. get high points 2. hold high drift angle on high speed 3. easy to transition The Evo ix you are using is a really good at (3) and average at (2) but poor at (1). Instead, try below in reverse order, A. RX7 (Good at all three - use the v8) B. Silvia (2nd best option) (lovely car on GTR engine) C. Mercury / 350Z / BRZ (Pick any to learn) I have tried all of the above, many other cars too. Drift zones where you get 100K, Silvia will add another 50K and Rx7 will add another 70K. There is a different tune for each car. But the only way to get highest point is to test a car on Drag Tyres, SpeedCross Suspension, and Drift Differential. If the tuner dot rests exactly on the extreme right on Drift, the car is capable of getting maximum points on all surfaces. You need an overall car, not offroad and not on road. If you try all showcase or all speedcross or all drift, you'll struggle with speeds and handling. Hence, bringing down the point counter. GEARBOX - (Good) 6 Speed in Manual is best for most turns and most cars (silvia - definitely and rx7 - depends on the area where drifting) as it holds the drifting line on rev limiter in 3rd gear (175kmps to 196kmph). Logic is, you need high responsiveness to transition between corners and get back to speed as quickly as possible without struggling to hold the drift as the car picks up again. (Good) 5 Speed Manual - Only for races / zones with long drift sections. (Average) 5 Speed Auto - Use this if you don't like manual shifting. Don't use 6 Speed with automatic shifting. FORCED INDUCTION - (Good) Roots charger - helps to reach back to speed and remain close to limiter when speed slows down and we struggle to regain control of the car, which is often in case of turbo and twin turbo. All in all the car is highly responsive with a roots charger. I added 20-30K on drift zones with the same car on a roots charger as opposed to a dual or single turbo charger. (Average) Twin Turbo - if you are using 5 Speed, and drifting in 2nd and on a single Turbo, you will struggle to control as revs will fall during transitions and most of the corner would be done on a low speed. You have to be in top 1% to actually learn to hold speed on turbos, and no one is winning awards here unlike forza for an extra 1K. So as long as you want to have fun, and be above average in drifting, you can safely use dual turbo (car is more controllable than with Roots charger). However, it would not help you get as many points as compared to Roots Charger or single Turbo. TYRES - Drag - The reason is you lose acceleration on other tires. Bottom line - RX7 / Silvia on Roots Charger - SpeedCross Suspension - Drag Tyres - Drift Differential - 6Speed Manual 3rd Gear or 5Speed Auto. There are tens of different things as well, but I will not get into all of them unless you want to have a detailed chat about it. For now, test this and you'll see.

I have NEVER got 3 stars on a drift activity. Thank you so much man for helping me with not only a nice vehicle but actually telling me how to drift. I always thought I had to hold my joystick the way I was turning, not moving it back and forth

3 things I've noticed about drifting in NFS Heat. 1. The further towards drift your tuning is, the more points you earn for near identical drifts. 2. Turning steering sensitivity all the way down actually made the vehicle MUCH more controllable. 3. Having the tuning as close to the middle as possible between on and off road makes for seamless transition between road and dirt. The placement on the tuning chart means more to your control and score than what parts you actually use. Except drag tires, with their potential to cause wheelies.

Watching that Evo IX drifting was like watching figure skating. Beautiful stuff.

I know how to drift in this game, but I still watched your video, because there is always room for improvement. Great video thanks.

So basically he just summed up what we and lightning mcqueen learned from doc in cars one

The brakes do matter, the higher the grade the more your wheels lock up, you don’t want too much lock up so you can get a nice continuous drift. Brakes matter a lot for drifting in this game, I would recommend not going past pro brakes, I always use sport brakes and they seem to do me just fine.

I used to run a Silvia with Showcase Diff, Showcase Suspension and Drag Tires cause the Drift Tires causes to little grip and was nailing drift events. Then switched to RX7 with same setup and it was even better. I found manual transmission was awesome for drifting too, 3rd gear entering the turn, 2nd gear to maintain

Thank you. I didn't know about live tuning, and after watching this video it changed the game completely. Now I drift no problem

I just started playing NFS Heat in 2021. I understand it came out in end of 2019, but the game is fun, I think it’s well put together, it’s not pay to play nor is it hard to rank up or gain $$$, I mean don’t get me wrong it’s a grind but it’s not anything crazy. I have referenced your videos a lot over the last 3 months. Great content.

Because of you, I believe I have some of the sickest cars for my taste, I had the pro showcase equipped, so I questioned you at first but I worked so much better for my car thank you!

I've been trying to figure this out for awhile now, and this video right here is the one that made everything click.

Works like a bloody charm, I know I’m late to this game by a long shot, but your channel has helped me every step of the way, so I don’t know the common sense aspect of a lot of stuff, but I just wanted to say thank you for making this game so much easier for me man

Just copied this build and settings guide. Got 3 stars on all drift zones in an hour and a half after not being able to drift at all. Thanks for the help. The drifting actually became my favourite trophy in the game 👍

Hallelujah for this video . I was losing my mind and getting so frustrated

Thanks for the build! My advise while using your build is put the game into manual mode & hold the Evo in 3rd & 4th gear, enter turns in 4th & downshift to 3rd while pinning the gas. Easier to drift at the top of the rpm band than letting the car up shift on its own. Edit: 3rd & 4th aren’t magical gears, you may need to do the drift even/zone a few times & see what gear/speed you should be at.

I have to thank you so much because of this video I can now properly drift with my 65 Mustang. Yes, it's my starter car and now I love it, now I can consistently drift with ease and fun

How about “Can’t Off-road? Try This!” for the next video.

Thanks for the video, this made drifting much more easier earned a sub.

Thanks man can't say I'd be able to 100% NFS Heat without this. now I just need a recommendation for NFS ProStreet for drifting on the ps2

Thank you so much man, this vid helped me a lot and now I can finally get the Pista!

Thank you! I tried manual drifting because of this video and I love it so so much, I've had so much fun because of your help!

I still feel like I'm fluking the 3-star ratings on the drift activities but prior to your help with this video, if you swapped the 'l' with 'c' and done some slight rearranging of the letters then you had what my attempts at passing them were before watching. So massive thanks for putting together this legitimately helpful video. 👍

Yoo amazing drift build, brought back those need for speed payback drift vibes in my opinion fam GG. Keep up the good work bro much ❤

Yo you are without doubt one of the most helpful gamers..thank you .

Sir, i greatly appreciate the time and effort you put in to these video's. they are a blessing to an old man trying to mess around. ty.

Great advice as usual. Double tapping R2 on approach to a corner will start a drift automatically on a PS4

Finally a video that actually teaches how to drift. 👍🏻

Thaaaank yoooou, because of this video I was able to finish the last drift story race, before it I couldn't get even close to

U just earned a comment and a like and a sub THX BRO FOR THIS I THOUGHT THAT I SUCKED AT DRIFT U ARE THE KING OF NFS THIS HELPED ALOT

yoo thanks so much for this! I 3 stared all those stupid events now. some of em even the first try, others still took 30 mins of retries tho lmao

This was absolutely, fucking, amazing. Thank you so so much for this, I cannot express how frustrating it has been trying to learn drifting in this game. Definitely earned the sub.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH you used my video idea, I'm crying in hapinnes rn tysm!!!!

I tried this setup on my E46 + drag tires. I see a big improvement in long drifts. 👍🏾✨

Hey man, can you do the Ferrari 488 GTB‘15 for the “You’re using the Wrong Build” series and perhaps compare it to the “Unlockable” Pista 2019 version. Great work on them stats btw👍

I really liked payback drifting

Ok... so after converting my evo, using your method and I’ve 3 star’d 3 drift events so far... hats off to you bud!

this worked great!!!! Up untill now my drafting was horrible!

THX BRO YOU THE BEST now am the best drifter in my crew

I was always going off the road while playing drift races XD that was my way to achieve winning :)

I love Ur car, I'm an Evo fanatic, especially Evo VIII and Evo IX.

Very Very Helpful Dont Have That V8 And Still Worked Thanks Got Better At Driftin

Just started NFS heat , watched your vids , straight aways subscribed, your content is gold I can say having watched just 3 videos

I watch your vids when I want to unwind

thanks man you helped me out a lot I was so good at drifting and payback and when it came to this game I struggled a little bit more to kind of get it mastered and I'm pretty good at it now but watching your video definitely help me out thank you

The Evo 9 has to be the most under rated car in NFS Heat! 👌🏻

Great video as usual proud to represent MilitiaGaming 😊

Thx bro, this is my best car now, I can’t wait to get that m4

The most helpful tips i hve seen so far. Thks bruh

That car super good with everything like yours

trick 1: use drag tires because... it just works

thank you buddy for all of that good benefits ideas its relay worth keep it up brother

All becuz of this video, I’m now the new DK in Heat.

Thanks so much now I can drift so much better

Thanks for the help man. was stuck in contract of Mclaren F1 lol

There is just waay too much grip to drift in this game. Imagine this game with FH4 physics! OMFG! End game!

One thing NFS teaches you about drifting is to throw everything you've learned about the technique IRL or sims out the window .

Thanks bro, the build info really helped. I put it on a C10 and it works perfect.

its drift time for me :D .. thx for tips withl Left Right turning

Literally I downloaded the game like 2 weeks and saw the dudes with 😷 on i was like "damn this guys predicted 2020"

Thank you Militia Gaming Community your tips are very helpful and easy to understand

I got the drift down by using your technique. Thanks for the tip 💯💯💯💯

Nice evo bro honestly respect

Who needs Wayne when you have trigger

Thank you so much

You deserve much more views and likes and subs... 100x better than some known nfs heat RU-vidrs

Man, i spent like 4 hours trying to get 3 stars on Doom Ruler. No success. Then i build the copy of your car and made it first try 😅

The best car ever love your build

THANK YOU TRIGGER!!!!!

thank you sooo much for this, i play fh 5 the drift on there is quite realistic and i can do decent on there but nfs heat is very arcady and fun to drift but my god i couldnt find the perfect car for me, i knew it would be either a subaru or a mr bushy, subbed and liked.

Manual gearbox: *H e l l o?*

never drifted but just got heat delux version today , i will give it a go

my best drift car is the Mazda rx 7 with super components and speed cross setting. I completed all 3 stars drift challenges EASILY. I never keep the steering wheel firm but keep doing micro movements left and right constantly hitting the gas like BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM. That makes the car a blow away from skidding, constantly, and when the turn comes you just hold the gas for half a second more and then it's all about control. with this technique the car is NEVER steady, also when going straight, you can notice that using dynamic pov the camera will never stay behind the car, which means you are constantly surfing

I built a drift 32 gtr, it's just... Beautiful

In drifting i can tell u power is everything and how u set ur car up matters aswel i know i drift a 2jz s14plus i have made alot of drift cars in nfs heat so i know how it feels when u cant get ur car to slide

Love ur vid’s Thanks for giving tips

I know it’s super late but for drifting I use the black market Aston Martin easiest drifting in my life in a game

Well explained video. Thanks again! 👏👏

Thank you so much you teach me how to drift and i succedeed

The drift settings you have here is specific to the Evo because it's the easiest car to drift with in the game. I need to complete challenges with the Aston Martin Db11 and the settings here are just off since the car just slides way to much and theres pretty much no way to control the drift

I needed this video, iv been trying to get the right set up but I keep failing, thank you so much bro!

Helped me out tons man thanks

I thing if you guys try off road with drift will be amazing i use this set up and its awesome

Im lvl 32 dang it gotta get to lvl 35 to make this build, thx for the vid.

6:55 so you're telling me to go initial d in this Bish. OK SO I WILL!

This is what we called pro tips !!!!

I follow exactly your settings, my car drifted like a ballerina... Thank you.

Thank you bro. I liked and subscribed to u

Thanks for the tips bro! Really helpful, appreciated

Thanks for this video i will try this today and i Hope it will work

Helped me a lot! Thanks!

I don't think I am good at drifting, but when I drift, I hit the gas and let off quickly then repeat. This works for me to continue sliding.

How do you not have over 1M subscribers!? Your tips are gold

Helpful tips! Quality content! Thanks man!

Thank you so much for alle the Videos on NFS Heat. I gave the game a shot since it was free this month on PS+ and I love it so far. Your videos helped a lot. I was wondering if there are now by now better ways to setup the EVO IX when it comes to drifting. Do you recommend Ultimate Parts for the Engine and Drag Tires like you did with the Rx-7 build in the drift car video?

I also use the evo. So much control when drifting. And also Silvia.

Thanks that helped alot. I did use the Nissan 370 eritage 2019 is very good for drift. On the first event of drift/that race close to the Docks. My 1st score was 20/30k. Now i can do easly 120/140k 👍 I was using bad parts for the car and couldnt drift, now feels like im in Fast and Furious Tokyo 🤣.

Thank you som much. Country fire smoke which really strokkled with getting 30k, i Got mostly around 22k. After i Got the car and tuned i on shotted 77k❤️

This dude is so nice love the vid keep it up
