Need For Speed Payback Volkswagen Derelict Parts

Okay, let's talk about Need for Speed Payback. Specifically, those Volkswagen Derelicts. You know, the rusty, beat-up Beetles and Golfs you find scattered across Fortune Valley.

I'm going to say something controversial. I kinda... like hunting for those derelict parts.

The Thrill of the Chase (For Rusty Metal)

Seriously, admit it. There's a certain satisfaction in finally snagging that last Volkswagen chassis piece tucked away on some dusty mountaintop.

It's like a digital scavenger hunt. Except instead of actual treasure, you get a clapped-out Beetle. But hey, progress!

Mapping My Madness

I used to spend hours combing through the map. Meticulously marking each potential derelict part location.

My friends thought I was crazy. "Why are you wasting time on those rusty piles of junk?" they'd ask. I'd just smile knowingly. They wouldn't understand.

The Joy of Transformation

The best part? Watching those rusty husks transform. Slowly but surely, piece by piece.

Suddenly, that Volkswagen Beetle is a beast. A drift machine. Or maybe a dragster. The possibilities were endless!

And honestly, the customization options? Chef's kiss. You could make that derelict your own unique masterpiece.

Unpopular Opinion Time

Here's where I might lose some of you. I think the derelict system was… good. Maybe even great.

Hear me out! It added a layer of progression. Something beyond just winning races and buying new cars.

It was a project. A challenge. A reason to explore the game world.

Compared to... What Exactly?

Some people complain it was grindy. Okay, sure, maybe a little. But what open-world game *isn't* a bit grindy?

Besides, the rewards were worth it. A unique car built from the ground up. That’s pretty cool in my book.

The Underdog Appeal

There's something inherently appealing about taking something broken and making it awesome. Right?

It's like a digital version of restoring a classic car. Except without the grease and the actual back pain. Score!

Conclusion (Kinda)

So, yeah. I liked the Volkswagen derelict parts hunt in Need for Speed Payback. Sue me.

Maybe it's just my love for underdogs. Maybe it's the completionist in me. Or maybe I just have a soft spot for rusty old Volkswagens.

Whatever the reason, I stand by my opinion. The derelict system? Underrated.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go fire up Payback and build another off-road Beetle. Don't judge.
