Learn how Scout crew members in Need for Speed Carbon lead you through shortcuts from the start of the race.

Scouts are a unique type of crew member in Need for Speed Carbon. Unlike other crew members, Scouts get into action as soon as the race begins. Their primary function is to lead you through every shortcut on the track, helping you reach the finish line ahead of your opponents. They leave a short trail and place green dots on the minimap (a small map displayed on the HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap), or Heads-Up Display, showing your immediate surroundings and objectives) so that if you fall behind, you can use these markers to catch up.

Tips
  • Scouts are ideal if you struggle to find or execute shortcuts consistently.
  • Pay close attention to the green dots left by the Scout on your minimap.
  • Use the Scout's trail to reorient yourself if you lose sight of them or miss a shortcut.
