Earning SpeedPoints | Racer career NfS Rivals Guide

The higher multiplier, the more points you accumulate

In Need for Speed Rivals you do not use the real money but speedpoints instead (SP - Speed Points) which has to be spent on new cars, modifications and pursuit technologies if you play as Racer. These points are awarded mainly for completing competitions and challenges but you can also receive them for winning one-on-one races, eliminating opponents, beating various records or showing off dangerous maneuvers on the road.

A unique element of Racer career is that the amount of speedpoints earned for particular actions is affected by a multiplier visible on the screen. By default the multiplier has value of 1 but with subsequent violations of road rules and completing competitions its values is increased. Expect major problems when it reaches value of 3-4. Starting with multiplier of 5 the police actions become very aggressive so if you make any bigger error (getting off the track, collision with another car or police blockade at high speed) you can expect them to massively attack you, resulting in quick failure.

Once you destroy the car or you will be caught unfortunately you lose all the speedpoints gained since the last visit to the hideout

Getting higher multiplier values is connected not only with gaining more speedpoints but also with serious problems because the multiplier represents the level of interest in you by the police. As you boost the multiplier officers try harder to stop your car, dispatching faster and more durable police cars and using also blockades and helicopters.

As you probably guessed, attempts to keep the multiplier at the high value are very risky because it gets harder to evade the police. Destroying the car or getting caught results in losing ALL points accumulated since the last visit in the hideout.

In the initial phase of the Racer career I would advise not to exaggerate and to stop gathering points after accumulating like 40-50 thousand of them. It is because that starting cars are not so good and there is no special treatment from the police side. Later in the career, after unlocking better vehicles and increasing their strength, you'll be able to do much more.

The only way to preserve gathered points within a given session is to return to any hideout. Each time the game displays a full summary of the recent activities (such as on the picture) and then gained points are permanently assigned to your account.
