Bringing cops back to the series, Need for Speed Heat is more like the series’ games of old. You’ll need to quickly work out the best ways of avoiding the flashing red and blue lights if you want to earn as much REP as possible. So that you can hide in silence, here’s everything you need to know about how to turn off engine in Need for Speed Heat.
Turning off your car’s engine is useful because, not only does it remove the annoying engine noise when you’re not moving or not playing the game, but it can also help you blend in a little.
Since the cops know what car to look out for if they’re hunting you, they might still be able to spot you if you’re not well hidden, but turning off your engine can only be a help rather than a hinderance.
How to Turn Off Engine in Need for Speed Heat
Thankfully, turning off your engine in the game is pretty easy. All you need to do is press L1 and square if you’re on PS4, or LB and X if you’re on Xbox One, while you car isn’t moving.
You won’t be able to do it while you’re still moving, so just hold the left trigger until you come to a stop and do it then.
