Virtual racers playing NFS Underground 2 dream about the possibility of installing wide body kits on their car. Such tuning is an indicator of a player's high skill and extraordinary abilities, but to gain access to these improvements, you must be a worthy street racer.
Wide body - new features of the NFSU2 gaming workshop
Already at the start screen in Need for Speed Undergroung 2, you can get acquainted with the main goal of the game. It is a beautiful and powerful car, designed in accordance with the excellent style of the player, with modified body elements and unsurpassed speed characteristics. In the game, you can completely recreate with your own hands copies of a Ford Mustang, Nikki Maurice's car with original NFSU vinyl, or the Nissan Z, which was Rachel Taylor's main car and had the rarest set of tuning parts - a wide body kit.
There is a lot of controversy around this topic, because no one knows an unambiguous way to get access to such upgrades. It has been fully established that wide body kits become available regardless of game progress, but they can be opened no earlier than at the fifth stage of a career.
Reputation points for cars and sponsors
Parts for car upgrades are often bonuses for winning competitions, usually sponsored and special. In addition, for winning any of the races, not only a monetary reward is provided, but also the accrual of reputation points, a large number of which increases the player's chances of discovering unique parts.
It should be recalled that each sponsor offers several special races in the final of the competition and receive unique prizes as a result. There are several known cases when it was possible to open the body extension in Need for Speed just after winning sponsorship races or immediately after a photo session.
Random pick up and hidden race prizes
Players who intend to open all possible improvements for the car, including wide body kits, should not rush through the game only on the tasks of the main storyline. Each of the career stages is accompanied by additional opportunities that are not entirely obvious to the gamer.
One of the "Easter eggs" of Underground 2 is special riders that can meet the protagonist as rivals in the main competitions. In this case, winning the race is almost always accompanied by the discovery of additional opportunities in the workshop.
There are many races available on the map of the game world, but the sponsor does not oblige to participate in all in order to fulfill the terms of the contract. The more victories a player wins, the more likely it is to receive additional prizes. There are also hidden races in the game. They cannot be found on the map in free ride mode, but halos can be seen when driving by. Although, looking at the map and being at the same time in the garage, the player can establish the approximate location of the competition venues. It is worth noting that the likelihood of receiving an additional prize for participating in races is completely random.
Participation in the "outrans"
The most effective method for obtaining unique upgrades, including opening body extension kits, is to participate in free races, the so-called Out Run. You can start them by getting close to an opponent in the city driving mode (other riders are indicated on the map with red triangles).
To get the body expansion for the outrans, the player needs to win several victories in a row, and the more unique and valuable the discovery is, the greater this number. For example, the first widebody kit takes four wins, and to get the NFSU branding on your car, you need to defeat rivals eleven times in a row. In addition to body extensions, other upgrades can be obtained as a reward, and the win counter is reset after a failure or a prize.
