Honestly one of the best NFS Unbound videos. No BS, just sharing all the different techniques. Thanks Alex, you're the GOAT!

[@alexcornnut]

I appreciate that!

[@PCPDNitro]

Another thing worth noting for anyone trying to practice any of the tips Alex showed, especially when trying to do these techniques in races: ANY collision with a player, traffic, cops, or wall will prevent you from earning any more burst nitrous and also make all burst nitrous used ineffective. These effects last for about a second after the collision.

[@NISSANSKYLINEGC]

Note: for those trying to get faster "Redline Tech" is mentioned in a pervious video. This technique is pretty easy to learn and it allows some cars (not all) to go faster then their stated top speeds.

[@-Ozymandi4s]

I've been playing nfs games for almost 20 years, but since I watch your unbound tutorials my driving skills increased like crazy. Thanks a lot Alex, you are the goat of the community

[@kifticus1]

I'll be practicing, awesome advice

[@queenpurple8433]

“I don’t want to ruin my day with a linkup” lol. In all seriousness I wish they would have a mode for free roam online that didn’t have any linkups. I miss chilling driving around and being able to race without no one joining cause everyone just wants to do the dumb linkup

[@defnotatroll]

The linkups aren't the only problem, it's the pvp, the racers just do pvp now so freeroam is full of the linkuppers and cruisers. So yeah freeroam racing is in a poor state but at least some people do still race, mostly noobs trying to unlock cars

[@defnotatroll]

btw I agree with you and i wish the devs would hear us, we need to have two separate freeroams or something to separate the racers from those who don't race. My favorite part of unbound is having good freeroam races with randoms

[@blairepley9142]

The 'wiggle' move is ceazy good

[@jambajuice2949]

Finally. Man I been looking for a vid like this. Feel like I’ve been in that area of skill were I can hold my own against most but there’s always a handful of races where I just get dunked on by one guy.

[@Ben-uc9xn]

Thank you for what you’re doing man! I took a break from nfs at the beginning. It’s nice seeing that you’re still making helpful content… especially when i’m getting into the game again!

[@alexcornnut]

Welcome back!

[@hosseinnadafi4221]

Thanks for letting us know these. Helped a lot ❤

[@blairepley9142]

Thank you for the information Mr Alex much appreciated,I can definitely use this help especially that tron turn

[@berniemejia8723]

Thanks for the great info. You presented it very well

[@Itzkevyo]

😂 love this title Alex

[@coldfries8976]

Started the game at Vol. 6 launch so i got a loooot to improve on!! Your videos helped a ton so far, unfortunately i only found your content yesterday lol.

[@marioribeiro2760]

Hi, Alex. Good work, man. As always, another amazing video with a lot of information for the game. Keep going, man. For me, you are the best. Thank you, bro.

[@alexcornnut]

Thanks, will do! I am glad it's good content for you my man.

[@meysamsamadi7587]

Well said brother. Burst nos is by far the most innovative feature in the racing genre 👍👍👍

[@ltjukem10]

Love the vid.... keep up the good work

[@hunterlloyd4666]

Coming from heat I was so lost in this game and now I can walk lobby’s thank you Alex your channel is awesome

[@coldfries8976]

This is sick. I felt that there was a significant skill gap in this game, but with your video it showed me to what extent, it all makes sense now.

[@slowlydone81]

Wait suck n boost sound kinda dangerous 😂

[@theextra9997]

Amazing work

[@evilspeed3101]

Great video, mate! I would only add - the faster you go, the easier to accumulate the boost. So essentially if you are fast it is much easier to go even faster than from slow to just fast. Kinda geometric progression works here, and only skill issue may happen because of poor reaction time😅

[@burzane]

Good video Alex. I find some of these difficult because I play with the keyboard.(dont judge, got GOAT at lvl 124) Seeing in action these mechanics they can make a big difference.

[@defnotatroll]

sheesh whats your ign? im nearing 150 and i still havent even got to 200 pvp wins yet lmao

[@stuttgart_911]

Thankyou brother ❤❤

[@ericvalitutto7066]

Great video wish I had more time to play

[@FroodyIchigo]

Thank you so much for this! Barely a week in and still mostly on campaign but I've watched alot of content but none compares to this level of instruction. 1 quick question, any pointers on applying these to the R8?

[@alexcornnut]

The R8 needs additional braking input and sometimes releasing the throttle completely to start a micro drift. 55% grip has been my sweet spot

[@ICEMANUAE]

Great video . Thanks for the info. I have searched all over KZbin and no one has actually posted a good build for the Nissan GTR Nismo. Would like to know your take on this car and hopefully you can make an S and an S+ build on it. Thanks either way

[@scut55]

Thanks for the content. All of this information should be available in the game! Also, I am out, not going to spend hours trying to master all of this. I’ll have fun driving my favorite cars.

[@shahrezqureshi]

This is the bible of how to drive efficiently in Unbound; had no idea Wiggle existed!

[@marcus_metsu]

Cornnut for president ✊🏾

[@jansoukup1396]

Amazing video Alex. Btw how much grip is basically recomended to use? 90% or something different? And does it also work with 100%? I dont think so but u can tell us 🙂

[@alexcornnut]

All these techniques work with both grip & drift. The Vulcan has 100% grip. Each car is going to respond different so once you learn the mechanics it's just about feeling out the car.

[@ZillaDaKilla195-AA]

I learned how burst nos works by doing donuts and hitting it at 1, 2, and 3 bars

[@elcaballopapi]

Please let’s tell EA to add the option to report cheating, there’s people out there starting the races with 3 bars of yellow boost and having faster pvp cars when everyone have the same car.

[@defnotatroll]

there is no option to report cheating because A) there would be a million false reports and B) it's impossible to prove unless EA themselves were recording all the races, just block the offender, they gave you the block option for a reason

[@g4metym]

The yellow boost magic demystyfied! Would be entertaining if you collab with other NFS youtbers and have Initial D style squad face offs. Make it happen 🏁🚗🚙

[@alexcornnut]

Like who? I don't think any of them wanna race my team lol

[@Desicas]

This is a great resource. Quick questions: Does the new handling model influence these techniques? Are the Audis drastically different from other cars when doing these?

[@eddie0Fll]

The big difference with the Audis in GRIP is that it's harder to start a microdrift (it's harder for them to lose traction), but in most of the cases you can keep the microdrift while you're in a wiggle (which in grip is much much more difficult to do with other cars). In general the Audis have a more stable handling than other cars. Except when you drive them in DRIFT... there it starts the nightmare

[@defnotatroll]

@@eddie0Fll would you want to see the audi handling on all cars? i personally wouldnt. they dont microdrift easily and their steering feels weird

[@eddie0Fll]

@@defnotatroll i think it's ok just on the Audis, it's a special feature for them... I'm not playing grip anymore. I rarely use a grip Testarossa in B class, so it's not a problem for me. Except the DRIFT R8 in A+. I rarely play it, and i hate it in most of the times... it's super good at doing the U turns (like the one in Buena Vista), which is the most difficult thing to do in drift, but the handling is super omega sensitive. Sometimes, when there are turns near walls and I boost, the cars grips a lot and i crash into the wall because i'm going very fast and it's too sensitive.

[@Kotkaru]

Great video, but i've been wondering what's your deadzone set at

[@alexcornnut]

Dead zone is based on what your controller tolerance is. Mine is quite low because I have a good controller.

[@helias16]

Love you man ❤ more speed 4 noobs like me😂

[@leonardfairell3397]

Can also be used to prevent recks

[@CourtlandXJerusalem]

I like this I need to be better in this game

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

I noticed in the second area that when you were brake tapping, you were also releasing gas at the same time. Is that just a habbit or is there a reason behind it? Another thing I noticed the other day when I was practising microdrifts in a new build was that I only needed to tap the brake a tiny bit, like 5-10% total braking power. Which to me felt like I wasn't dropping as much speed. 3rd, thanks for poiting out that it can't reward the grip boost if you use the drift boost too late. I noticed I wasn't getting rewarded for the grip part of a microdrift. I gotta learn to spend the drift boost sooner.

[@ConfusedRaccoon]

Does using grip tires allow you to wiggle and maintain a higher speed?

[@popmonxx6543]

OHH now i understand y ppl wiggled infront of me cuz i thought they didn't like when i drafted them 😭😭😭 this makes s much sense 😂😂 it gives u 3 bars! that's crazy

[@coldfries8976]

Sooo i'm a bit confused about the "normal" brake and the e-brake... when should i use which? also i got some paddles on my controller, what would i bind there? i thought about one of the brakes and maybe nitrous?

[@alexcornnut]

Once you actually start to practice both braking techniques you'll know what to use depending on corner

[@sibiyu67]

public lobby really need to watch this video, and they need to learn how to drive manual

[@alexcornnut]

True lol

[@sibiyu67]

@@alexcornnut you’re really helping us man, i used all your build on my car and most of your driving technique in the race.. thank you alex, i hope the nfs players in indonesia watch your video too

@@alexcornnut drifting is fun! It will be worth learning fr!

[@Frxde]

Is it like mandatory to release the gas pedal after boosting 3 bars?

[@alexcornnut]

Nope not mandatory. Situational

[@adrianmiranda3394]

Moar BoOST

[@JoshuaS-gj5pw]

You're awesome, though I Personally think the second boost added to the game is lame, it's made the game very unbalanced, it's a necessity now and is one of the main factors that now makes or breaks a race apart from the driving physics, the fact that we have to rely on this secondary boost now I see it as tedious yes that bullet time sharp reaction is nice and all when you pull it off right but I don't think NFS should continue with this secondary boost, prefer managing one bottle of nitrous we have throughout the race instead

[@alexcornnut]

I think it's the best addition to racing games in the last 10yrs. It adds a much higher skill cap.

[@Itz_Puxe]

Another tip for players is to stay out of other people's way because you might think they're trying to hit you, but whole time you could have just got in the way of their line 🤷

[@zestables]

Well that advice cancels itself out

[@Itz_Puxe]

@@zestables how?

Honestly I'm having a very difficult time understanding any of this, can you show all of this IRL please?

[@fruitpaishizhu2739]

but frfr awesome guide xddd

[@alexcornnut]

Lol 🤣 Sorry I don't have a boss 302 with yellow boost IRL.

[@Orzav]

Yellow boost is such a shitty comeback mechanic. Micro drifting is a crutch.

[@alexcornnut]

. . . That's like saying air dribble in rocket League is a crutch.

[@Orzav]

@@alexcornnut To me micro-drifting or doing the wiggle just to to keep yellow boost is something that wasn’t intended to be part of the gameplay. There’s a reason a 3-bar goes down so quickly if you don’t use it. Using “grip” & “drift” during a turn to get a 3-bar at the end has to be a design flaw. It isn’t true grip driving or drifting, it’s like you’re tricking the game into thinking you’re doing both during a turn to get a cheap 3-bar.

[@alexcornnut]

@@Orzav I'm not trying to convince you to get faster. Keep running your race.

[@Orzav]

@@alexcornnut A driving style that cheaps out to go faster by exploiting how broken yellow boost works.

[@alexcornnut]

@@Orzav imagine using the game mechanics to go faster in a racing game. I know that is an unheard of concept. Anyway, good luck. Casual play is fun as well.
