The hardest Need for Speed achievement???

Is Magazine 22 in NFS Underground the hardest achievement to get? Tell me your opinion in the comments.
How to unlock magazine 22?
- check the preset records for drift tracks
- play a career drift event on hard difficulty
- beat the preset record in one lap

Notice that when crossing the 100.000 points mark on a single drift, it says "Drift King" in blue letters 7:35. The magazine cover also reads "Drift King". Is that coincidence or might that be the actual, less obscure requirement for the magazine?

[@DanielCarter1615]

I actually tested this as well. But the magazine will not unlock when getting 100.000 points in one drift as well. The similar naming is probably just coincidence.

[@yfi62dortoh]

I’ve got one for you. This is difficult, but nowhere near as bad as Carbon. There are challenge cards that each require you to “fill your garage with tuner cars, fill your garage with muscle cars, fill your garage with exotic cars” If I remember correctly, that would mean that IF you wanted to complete all of these challenge cards to unlock their respective rewards for quick race, AND get the pink slip to Angie’s Charger, you would have to grind enough money (at start of the game race pay) to buy 25 of each of the starter cars BEFORE taking on Angie.

[@kacperNFS]

You can just do it after finishing the campaign?

[@Peter97ptr]

I don't know what game you've been playing, but quite recently (a few months ago to be exact) I made the attempt at 100% reward card in NFS Carbon. The garage has 8 spaces, if I remember correctly, and your entire career, if you are good enough and "frugal" will allow you to earn well over a million dollars, easily enough for 5 additional Mazda RX-8s (assuming you start with a Tuner), and then take a quick action and buy 8 Camaro SS and 8 Alfa Romeo Brera. There is no condition for keeping the boss's car in the garage, and even if you want to keep it, it makes little sense. Additionally, the Collector's Edition (which in the times of Windows 10 is available to everyone) allows you to use these cars in a quick race mode (additional or bonus category). A bigger challenge is definitely the total cost of tickets collected, which you can't see until you get caught, and 50,000(or it's 20,000?) is a bit much, knowing that after the entire game I barely got 5k. The second more interesting card is 20 defense races. The entire career won't give you that many (they won't generate), and after completing it they don't appear either. You need to leave one race (better not the one with Darius) and enter and exit it until the defense race kicks in. 50 fights with other gangs is also annoying, but it takes about 2 minutes for one such criminal(nice one Google Translate) to spawn after leaving the hideout. Apart from the cards, this game has one more puzzle. Despite completing the game 100% and collecting all the reward cards (I admit, I used ExtraOptions to choose more cards from the bosses), I still don't have one hood and a few wheels. These are not multiplayer items, I unlocked them by changing the trigger to obtain them.

[@Yaz27]

It's not exactly difficult, I managed to do it on the vanilla game. Started with muscle cars and ended up completing the entire game (apart from Darius) with Angie's Charger. Gave me enough money for the 1 million cash achievement, and then did the Tuner/Muscle/Exotic garage achievement. Still had enough left over to buy 3 Tier 3 cars and max them out after all this lmao

[@Lili98FE]

There's a way to do fill the garage with all types with glitches on any platform while fulfilling the 1 million cash requirement and having bosses' cars: 1. Unlock all races in career mode on any save. 2. Start a new game, pick Brera because it's the most expensive starter car. 3. Unlock 240SX from challenge series because it's the cheapest car. Now, for the glitchy part, there's wrong warp. You go to the quick race, select a race available in career mode (canyon stages of boss fights count as well) and escape out of the difficulty/traffic/opponents menu. Then you load a save that doesn't have it unlocked, go to free roam, drive to any of the events, select it and finally, change wingman. Now you're in the race that you selected in quick race. That's how Carbon's WR for NG+ is 9:25 - you just beat the tutorial and immediately select the last canyon with Darius. Now, with that knowledge: 4. Accumulate money by beating events in Silverton even though you don't have them unlocked (technically you need 280k, but at the start garage is actually less than 8 spaces, I don't know when it's expanded). 5. Fill the garage with Breras, then repeat the process for Camaros and 240SXs. 6. With one car only, trigger a game over by getting busted too many times. 7. Go back to the main menu and start the career. Now you have all the garages reward cards and can get a million by relying on boss cars and Nikki as a wingman. As @Peter97ptr said, defence races are a real challenge and clearly nobody even tested if 20 defence races are easy (well, it's marked as medium) to achieve, it should be 10.

[@cxssetteman182]

Till date, I still use this game to humble a lot of my friends who are snobbish about their superior driving skills, just because they are good at Sim Racers. The brutal and inconsistent Rubberband AI adds to the Street Racer vibe at times. Most cars you will come across in a Street Race scenario are probably going to be unevenly matched with your car in terms of Performance, and Driver skill.

[@yobrethren]

Honestly, NFS:U is one of those old bred games where difficulty wasn't that easy But i recently tried playing forza horizon 4 on me friend's console for the first time and it humbled me as well (i've passed a whole bunch of races on keyboards, including Flatout 1 on "realistic" difficulty, NFSU on Hard and Midnight Club 2 several times), so i'd say that it's a totally different skill set playing arcade racers and sim racers Either way, kinda agree, NFSU is difficult in some ways

[@plswhy]

Honestly just using a fully tuned Impreza will make getting this surprisingly easy even with poor angle management. That car is somehow capable of maintaining angle insanely well on its own, requiring little countersteer. Only time you do need it is when you do reverse entry drifts which are both not counted by the game as a drift and is stupidly easy to pull off. 120 degree entry is just the norm on hairpins. But yes it is the hardest magazine to get because of developer oversight.

[@2fast4udk]

Really nice video, never knew about this and finished NFSU over 30 times. My best score was ~500.000 in one drift with the Rx7. I was ~15 so I thought it was a world record. Never knew if I was true since I didn't have internet back then :))

I didn't even know this was a problem. If you did heavy drifting you could chain the whole drift for a full 10 laps on the longest track. Wasn't that easy but with certain cars it was easier than others. As such doing a 4 lap chain was not something that was very hard if used to doing 10 lap chains. Given the scores count on the final lap that way you always will unlock Mag 22.

Great video man, got a sub from me even if you don't make another video ever again 😂. I remember doing a "100%" run of NFSU just before starting college and i wanted to finally get that last magazine i could never get as a kid. By deduction and without guides yet, i guessed it was "Set a Drift Track record" because i had every other magazine already, but when i wasn't able to get it even on the longest track with 500.000 (N°6 i think), i started searching and........ DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING USEFUL XDDDDDDDD. Well, at least i was able to confirm that i needed the drift record one and not another unrelated thing. At that moment was when i decided to experiment on Track N°6 with doing more than 100.000 per lap in all laps and it clicked for me, maybe i needed all 500.000 in one single lap (i was thinking of 500.000 because of the drift king archivement on Carbon) but when i got over 200.000 in one lap i got the magazine, i could get a higher count but i was stupid hard drifting for more than 3 laps for me so there it was, finally a "100%" file that i still play every now and then. Sorry for all the text and i hope this video get set as a reference to those that need to get that magazine and complete the game in the future 😎

Been forever since I played but as I recall the eclipse is 4wd which can drift ok but is a bit grippy. Fwd is the worst, Rwd is best.

Also best to use manual transmission and aim to stay in 2nd gear mostly. You got sick skills!

One that lets you know, yeah, you've mastered this game. without requiring you to be a top 10% player in the world like esports. the only problem is that the requirement isn't clear. if they just clearly explained it, then it'd be perfect in every way.

[@JB-ud6vm]

Awesome video, had no idea about this. I think the decision for the requirement to be style points is fine though becuase afaik style points dont do much otherwise?

Style points are kinda like your XP level in U1 and you unlock rewards with every new level. It wouldn't make much sense to use them as a requirement.

[@DanielCarter1615]

The confusing part is that stylepoints are shown in the drift menu as your record, but are not actually the requirement to unlock this magazine

[@blackbeardthepirate7467]

Why they won't remaster these games is beyond me. The drift mechanics were amazing especially given the age of the game, you really got a sense of the car having weight and momentum, spinning the tires up and down. If I recall, there was also physics for FF, FR, FA, and I think even MR as the Toyota MR2 was in NFSU 1 and/or 2. The eclipse he's driving here is FF, fwd, which are tougher to drift since you have no power to the rear wheels. Drifting is really meant to be done with RWD or AWD, much more enjoyable experience.

[@sunteraze]
