You are Cornering WRONG! Drift vs Grip Guide (For Beginners) - NFS UNBOUND 

not gonna lie, this is the hardest need for speed I've played. coming in 4th-6th almost every race. played almost all need for speeds and i feel like I'm decent at racing, but the physics have a learning curve i gotta adapt to

Another little rule of thumb I use for building cars: If the stock "tune" is leaning towards grip or drift, that's what the car will prefer. My lotus is set up for grip only and it loves it. But even if I set my rx8 all the way to grip, it'll still tend to break loose.

You explained this so well, I peeped that drift was a little bit faster in B class but didn't realize it was so radical. Appreciate you man

this dude is amazing he is always helping people with nfs games get this dude to 200k cheers for him

Its also worth noting that certain cars have crazy traits to them. My Exige is in Class A and it has insane grip, to the point where I can triple Burst straight into another corner at full tilt and not spin out unless I collide with something. The downside is that its very twitchy and easy to trigger, meaning it can happen by accident.

As someone who's played every NFS since Underground 1... I must say I enjoy this game. I'm only up to the end of the Week 2 Qualifier so A+ cars. But one way I've always been going about it is not only car dependent but location and race type dependent as well. The way I've done it thats worked so far... Mountain roads and lot of tight twisty bits and mid speed corners tend to work better for drifting cars. High speed and runs that have a lot of sweeping long corners or hard braking and sharp 90 degree turns tend to be better for grip racing on the country side and freeways. While the City courses with a lot of sharp snap backs and tight sections that are to quick for the drift setup but to slow for the grip setup, tend to be better for a balance of the two... or more the "Brake to drift/grip" that we've had in past NFS. Having at least 2 cars for each area/style works best...at least for me.

Another thing that works for grip cars is when you have some burst nitrous and you find yourself understeering, it can help the car go through the corner like a slot car. It all depends on the car itself though, in the Regera for example, it’ll act like a slot car around the corners which is fantastic but in some cars it will shoot you off the road

Great video Trigger Once I realized grip cornering was possible and started doing it, I improved dramatically. Despite having so much time in NFS Heat, I just haven't yet developed the knack for drifting in this game. In my B-Class Cuda, I do pretty much drift corners with it. With my A-Class Eclipse, I've taken a hybrid approach where I grip more subtle corners and drift the 90s or hairpins with neutral tuning. For A+ and S class though, it's grip all the way.

Appreciate the video! I bought the Buick Regal Custom in Lakeshore Online and that beast shoots out like a rocket with a nitrous burst after a drift. I'm really enjoying the drifting while racing in this game...tons of fun!

Thank you for this video - it literally changed the way I view the lower tier cars now. Much appreciated.

Thank you. Good video with the key facts. Not too long and you’re not full of yourself like so many others. Keep it up!

Heyhey, I recently restarted my whole save and am playing the Mazda as the start car, but my previous save had the Mitsubishi awd which I played a grip setup on on B tier. I gotta say that felt really nice and rewarding especially when you buy a low speed turbo to help out on driving those corners you may have not enough speed for because of slower acceleration

This video was great, really helpful thanks and learnt something's I didn't know. Just subbed and looking forward to more unbound videos. Keep em coming! 💯 👊

Earned yourself a sub for this exceptionally informative and professional video.

Nice tutorial! This vid does help add a bit of complexity to the game in my mind. And its pretty cool

Thanks dude! You got the best NFS videos on the internet!

I like the grip mechanics in this game, reminds me of the driving physics of the new Grid games.

Keep up the good work this channel helps me so much with NFS games

Excellent! Thanks for the heads up! I completely overlooked grip! Thank you.

Can’t wait for the actual build videos especially for online

Amazing video and great explanation of the mechanics, thx

Already worked this out myself but props to a good explanation in the video. Cornering is heavily reliant on the boost or you will get owned online. Also, use GRIP + Traction Control ON for S and S+ Use DRIFT AND Traction Control OFF for B to A+

I agree for the most part. My B rank VW beetle is a grip build that wins pretty effectively but on any street race as soon as I bump a sidewalk I lose. How about some car building guides?

Trigger thanks for the video; I put unbound on my ps5 external HD because it was too hard to play. Your tips got me through week one.

Idk if you’ll see this, but I love that they put more emphasis on grip builds this time around, I drive an S class Urus with 100% grip and honestly it’s always so rewarding, it’s not the fastest car by any means but it’s sure as heck competitive I can be anywhere in top 3 at any given time

Great video. Thanks for the info👍

What I did was took the GTR from the third week qualifier put grip tires on almost maxed out an s+ and 90% grip works like a charm.

Keep up the good work!!

Well explained. thanks for the video

Thanks man thats the video i needed !

great video! very helpful

This video is coming out at the perfect time because I am starting to build a B class car for the Grand race and I did not know if the grip tunning would be different for lower class cars. This will help a lot for the B class race for The Grand.

Great video! Dumb question do you have another video giving tips on how to grip corners?

Nice cornering guide 😎🔥

Very good videos man about this game . This one and the top 5 tips is insane thanks bro

Legend, this is good. appreciate the content helpful Stuff.

Very helpful, thank you

Thanks a lot. I'm gonna try this

Great video thx 😎

Nice video. First of yours I've seen.

So i watched these vids with nfs heat and the vibe has completely changed, idk if i am just misremembering but his voice sounds way smoother and the music is a lot nicer, making it more pleasurable to watch in my opinion.

You can literally have grip builds in Heat if you build your car correctly, for instance, i own a Subaru WRX STI which is AWD, build it with the grip parts you need and it sticks to the road like shit to a blanket!

Rear diffuser can boost up your car grip, because it is "Freezed BoyFriend Engine" setting from NFS 2015. Especially If drive "danger cannonball" like S+ 1969 BOSS 302.

Youre good at in depth explanation. Youre gifted and patient when making videos. Im super lazy when making videos. I still won't change. Ha

I realized this when i started. I wanted a grip build for the starting car, but it just wasn't working out, i remember in nfs payback when drifting every corner was the fastest way

Just what I need to watch since buying this game on Monday.

Am i the only one that has a Nostalgia for watching triggers heat build videos and me playing the game in general?

Great vid, thx

Amazing that Need for Speed Unbound finally has more depth in its tuning and handling that there isn't just one universal build for all cars anymore.

Thank you so much, I watch you since I began NFS Heat and you've been helping me so much with my builds and playstyle. Just to know that there is someone making videos and I can trust the given information makes me really happy! So thank you!

Nice guide, i learned something today man! One question tho, what do you define as low tear cars, it’s like B/A/A+ or just B/A? Keep up the good work man, your doing well!

That's the odd thing. It seems that the game is in a conflict where it seems like you have to stick with one universal car for the whole story. But then you have different types of races and corners. The extremely linear story progression and therefore money acquisition doesn't help with that either.

I've started to boost through corners with my normal nos but then use the boost nos to straighten out the corner for more speed leaving as soon as it straightens up

I’ve never been a big NFS fan , but I’m really enjoying my self on this game! Also, great vid !

Your the best 🙌🏿💯🔥

So Burst NOS works quite similarly to Blur’s boost powerup. Good for making abrupt direction changes.

I just got my Regera and it is so fast I could not turn but this helps a lot :)

There's a way, with certain cars, to initiate a drift and bring the angle down to a point where the game thinks you're both gripping and drifting. Very hard

great videos. I am really confused by the grip--drift meters...should I go all the way for the max grip if possible? I just reached S+ stage of the game though. thansk.

Hey man been watching your vids for a few months now and since I'm pretty early to this one figured I'd ask a question. Assuming you're running a full grip high tier car, how should you take a sharp 90. When I try to grip it usually ends up in the car not getting a sharp enough turning radius to avoid smacking the oncoming side of the 90 (or run off the road if there's no wall). So my question is in the scenario should you let off gas approaching then go through, brake then gas through, or drift through? And as a follow-up I've heard many people stay brake drift is ideal in this game, but this confuses me if the answer is to brake before the turn then gas through to get the grip turn nos because obviously this would cause the game to try to initiate a drift. Anyways thanks a bundle brother and keep up the high quality content, it's extremely appreciated.

Wondering how far the drift/grip scale should be. Is a max drift car good or will it slip so much it won't be even able to go straight? Or a full grip one versus something around the 40% grip?

well explained

Hey buddy I really new to NFS and I'm really struggling with the drift events have you got any tips for beginners on drifting

Im a drift cornering guy, but i built up the Foxbody with high grip and downforce, it dont beat every supercar but keeps up with them running at 228MPH, i actually dont have enough gears on the big O and it starts hitting the Rev limiter

Look at this handsome man getting om thr tutorials 😍

Dude I love they included that grip style 💟

Hi !!! So what button do you push, when and why if you want to grip ? Been searching about this for days.

Nice tutorial! Can i get the build FOR the rsr?

The RU-vidr gets it he knows, it’s like he old burnout games but you gotta know what your tuning !

Yeah, Trigger is HIM🔥

This makes so much sense….

same as you i noticed this the first day online, every player telling me the same, and i was used to these arcade racing games i did alll the NFS , all the burnout , but coming from forza Horizon 5 it was plainful at the start for me online, so i went in the solo, and now i'm much better, it's not NFS hot pursuit in this way , it retrains some of the heat handling imho.

Grip build eclipse is amazing for low tier

It takes a lot of practice on my maxed out, S classed DB5 while I need to control my drift for mountain pass because my maxed out S class DB5 is too heavy for drifting on the mountain pass.

imo building a car that is a hybrid between drift and grip is gonna be the overall best solution

nice cuda, i wish mine was like that on nfs heat.....

Can u make a video on how to make good car builds? Idk how some players make godlike car builds especially for lower class cars

Can someone help? So if I have a grip car ( for example the lotus), during a sharp turn at high speeds, am I suppose to HOLD the break for like 2 seconds? Or use the hand break? I feel like no videos are explaining this in depth

This game remind me of asphalt 8 been looking for this sensation in years thanks to this game

Muscle cars in this game are amazing for drifting

Gripping is strong the end. Lol nice video tho

have S tier Evo IX with 10% drift. Works great for me.

I know it's not the most optimum but, any advice for drift with higher class cars?

Wait you get NOS for normal turning? Or what the heck is the grip turn it just seems like normal turning to me I don't get it

Thanks

Yeah it definitely depends on the car, looking at it's grip/drift leanings at purchase. Been passing on NFS games for a minute, so it took a bit to get this system. Only up to the B-A class days atm and my '76 Golf A class grip car is like playing on easy mode, and the drift score bar is set pretty low, so my BRZ can easily double the high score most of the time. Heard the Lotus's are good later grip cars, gonna have to look into later stage drift ones though.

Thanks man i thought this game sucks, but yeah i just need to learn the mechanic lmao

its just more fun to fly 200mph drifting through corners in s+ honestly

i remember overtaking a dude from a sharp corner and accidentally killing him

Thank you so much I put over $300,000 in my eclipse but couldn't win any high s rank races cause I though drifting was the best from early rank experience.

I haven't played the game yet, but as you explained it it's giving me so much NFS World vibes where you could use your nitro to straighten yourself like that aswell

I do wish you could unequip NOS like in Heat, personally I like trying to win without.

There's also another trick if your 100%grip you can let go of throttle and tap fast to switch lane not to drift just lane switch and you can maintain your boost nitrous, due to the angle you aquire for a fast lane switch . Longest I held a triple boost was for 57 seconds. This technique is done in a straight line no turns combined with near miss and dodging cars you can get 3 bars after 3 cars

sooo basically the online will be a war of bursting nos. nice

I need help figuring out which cars are best in which tiers. For example, my 350z. Which tier would it perform best in? I'm struggling online. I gave up on the story after the 1st qualifier and went to online to progress there. My Eclipse is a B tier and does pretty well gripping and drifting. But idk if it would drive better in a higher tier. I dont want to spent whatever little money I have on parts for it and completely ruin it. I just raced a S tier with my mustang foxbody and got blown away by a f40! Lost in my Eclipse to a huracan! Idk what I'm doing wrong but I know I'm doing things wrong here. Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated thank you!

Ps4 player still here watching these bangers even tho I can't play... soon very soon

This videos made me realize how much I suck at turning in this game! lol I have a Vulcan and I have road everything on it didn’t tune it, and I can’t seem to round a corner to save my life. My car wants to do a complete circle every time I turn. What am I doing wrong?!

Any tips on how to drift in this game? Trying to complete the drift zones but I have no luck with them.

So When gripping do you let off the gas? Or turn off the drift in settings?

What about messing with the games handling? There’s a certain screen in the pause menu
