How to get ASAP Rocky's 1998 Mercedes-Benz 190-E 2.5-16 in Need for Speed Unbound
Need for Speed Unbound, the fantastic new entry in the long-running arcade racing series, has finally been released, offering players a brand new take on the classic Need for Speed formula.
Need for Speed games have always featured some cool car poster designs, from the iconic BMW M3 GTR to the latest custom Polestar One, and Need for Speed Unbound is no exception to that rule.
This time, the Need for Speed Unbound poster car is a classic, a 190 Mercedes-Benz 2.5-E 16-1998 with custom bodywork and paint to reflect the collaboration with ASAP Rocky. A custom Mercedes-Benz 190-E 2.5-16 is heavily featured in the game's marketing, with EA and Criterion Games creating a real-life replica of the Mercedes-Benz 190-E.
While the car is an old-school classic coming into Performance Level B, players will need to work a bit to earn a custom Mercedes-Benz 190-E 2.5-16 from AsAP Rocky. Here is a comprehensive guide for players to easily get Rocky's Mercedes-Benz 190-E in Need for Speed Unbound.
Asap Rocky's custom Mercedes-Benz 190-E 2.5-16 is one of the most powerful cars you can get in Need for Speed Unbound
Rocky's custom ASAP Mercedes-Benz 190-E 2.5-16 may look like a regular classic tuner, but is secretly a powerful beast that players will have to work hard for to earn their driving license. Black and white paintwork mixed with a stunning vinyl design creates a cool looking street racing car.
In order to get the Mercedes-Benz 190-E 2.5-16 ASAP from Rocky in Need for Speed Unbound, players need to:
- You will need to progress through the Need for Speed story to unlock head-to-head races, which are duels against one of the main bosses in the game.
- Once you build enough reputation and clear enough racing events, you will eventually unlock the "1v1 for 190E" event, which is a face-to-face ASAP Rocky character for a chance to win his custom Mercedes-Benz 190-E 2.5-16.
- Along with ASAP Rocky's bespoke Mercedes-Benz, the bounty for winning the head-to-head competition includes a whopping $128, which should be more than enough to upgrade the car to the S+ level.
While the 190 Mercedes-Benz 2.5-E 16-1998 may look like an ancient relic, it is one of the most powerful cars players can win in individual competition. The stock version of the Mercedes-Benz 190-E comes with a buyout price of $64 and comes in the lowest performance level (Class B).
However, with just a few upgrades installed, players will quickly realize that the car is a powerful beast that can easily overtake most of the high performance cars in the game. Need for Speed Unbound is full of powerful vehicles locked behind certain campaign stages and racing events that players can organically unlock just by playing.
The game also has quite a few secrets and Easter eggs that fans of the series will appreciate, one of which includes the return of a fan-favorite and iconic custom BMW M3 GT 2006 straight from the original Need for Speed Most Wanted.
