NFS Unbound presents a similar set of collectibles as were present in its predecessor, Need for Speed: Heat. There are a total of 260 collectible items, which offer different rewards when collected by the player. Each collection of objects is randomly distributed around the Lakeshore City map. Furthermore, each category also requires a unique method to acquire that particular item. Here, we will discuss all the collectibles found in NFS Unbound and their locations so you can easily obtain them while completing other missions in story mode.
Key Takeaways
- The Lakeshore City map contains 260 collectible items altogether.
- There are 100 bears, which can be collected by driving through them.
- Lakeshore City has 80 billboards as well, which require you to destroy them.
- 80 Street Arts are located in NFS Unbound, which are gathered by getting close to them and pressing the mentioned key/button.
Types Of Collectibles
Lakeshore City has 260 collectible items, including bears, billboards, and street art. Moreover, the items are only available for collection after the prologue has ended and the story mode begins. Although these items are present in various districts of the city and collecting them is not an arduous task, the only tricky thing is to drive around the whole map and check every corner for a collectible item. Therefore, this guide discusses the locations of collectibles along with the map containing the positions of every item in NFS Unbound.
Bear Champ
Bears or Bear Champs are statue-type figures at different locations on the map. Additionally, these are similar to the flamingos that were present in Need for Speed: Heat. The total number of bears in Lakeshore City is 100, the most among all other collectibles. Consequently, to complete this side task, you need to destroy the bear.
Driving through the bear will destroy it. Once destroyed, you will receive the rewards, and the bear will be removed from the map as well, showing it has been collected by the player.
Billboards
Like in Need for Speed: Heat, NFS Unbound also features billboards with identical game physics. Altogether, there are 80 billboards around the map. Additionally, destroying a billboard will complete the task, and it is usually done by driving through it. Afterward, the billboard is marked as a broken billboard.
Street Art
Street arts are unique pictures or graffiti painted on random walls in Need for Speed Unbound. Additionally, there are 80 locations where these are usually present. To collect these, the player needs to go to the site of the street art and then press the button or key mentioned on the screen. Generally, this key is the action key. Moreover, collecting street art will mark it as done on the map.
Locations
The following map describes the locations of each collectible item in the game.
- The bear champs are marked by a bear face symbol.
- Street art is marked by a spray paint sign.
- Billboard is marked by a billboard sign

Rewards
These side-tasks provide some unique rewards, and another important point is that each one of them is independent of the other one. Hence, you can complete a challenge and you will receive its rewards. Finally, the major reward for the collection of the whole set of each item is a high-tier car.
Cars
BMW M4 GTS (2016)
Finishing the Bear Champ Challenge awards you an A+ tier car, which is the BMW M4 GTS (2016). This car is also a beast for long distances, with good top speed and on-road grip characteristics.
Ford Focus RS (2016)
After you have successfully destroyed all the billboards, you will get a Ford Focus RS (2016) as the bumper prize. This is also an A+-tier car with excellent performance features, best for on-road races.
Ferrari 488 GTB (2015)
Collecting all street art awards you with a Ferrari 488 GTB (2015). This challenge is the only one that gives an S-tier car as a reward, so you should prioritize it the most.
Cash
Other than the cars, collecting a single item gives a $250 cash prize. There are 260 collectible items, so the total cash prize that can be earned is $65,000. Thus, these missions are a nice deal if you want some cash for the upgrades, although they do not pay as much as some other side tasks.
Final Thoughts
Collecting these items is a fun task while playing the game, but it should not interfere with your main game performance. However, these tasks should only be prioritized if you want to get those high-tier cars in the early games or after you have completed all other missions of the game. The best approach is to go for these collectibles when you are going for a free drive-in NFS Unbound.
