In this guide to the Need for Speed Payback wreckage parts we tell you:

The best tips to find the wreckage parts
Where to find the wreckage parts

Need for Speed Payback, which was released on November 10, 2017 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, gives you plenty of side activities as a typical open-world game, so you won't get bored apart from the actual story.

One of them is the scavenger hunt for wrecked cars and their parts, in order to restore the partly legendary cars and pimp them in the tuning workshop of Need for Speed Payback. A total of five of these bullets are waiting for you to put them back on the road: Chevrolet Bel Air 1955, Ford Mustang 1965, NISSAN Fairlady ZG 1971, Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup 1965 and VW Beetle 1963.

But you shouldn't confuse these wrecks with the abandoned cars that appear sporadically in Need for Speed Payback. Our guide to the abandoned cars tells you what they are and how you can find them.

Since the search for the cars isn't always easy, we'll give you some tips and the locations of the parts here. By the way, don't panic if you later sell a restored wreck by mistake. We'll tell you how to get it back. The exact values of the five legendary cars can be found in our comprehensive Need for Speed Payback car list.

Tips for finding wreckage parts

To begin with, the following is important: finding car wrecks just like that is difficult. Usually you get the first hint of such a wreck when you defeat the boss of a racing league. The tip is his reward to you, so to speak. Through this help you will eventually find the chassis and then get more tips on where to find the missing parts.
The parts are usually hidden in elevated places, places you can't just drive to. So, in the target area where you suspect the wreckage to be, keep an eye out for ramps that serve to help you get to the target.
In addition, a kind of radar as soon as you get close to a chassis or wreckage. The more often the beep sounds, the closer you are. If you move away, on the other hand, the distance between the beeps will increase until the radar goes completely silent.
The search for the wrecks and wreckage is best done with a vehicle of the off-road class, because the "scrap" is almost always stored off the road.
Once you have the chassis and all the parts, go to your garage. There you can assemble and restore the wreck. However, you'll have to decide which of the five vehicle classes (racer, off-road, drag, drift or runner) you want to put it in. This choice cannot be changed later. The good news, however, is that once you've rebuilt a wrecked car, you can later purchase it from the car dealers and add it to your fleet for other classes as well.

Where to find the wrecks in Need for Speed Payback

Before we reveal the locations or tell you which regions the sparse hints you get point to, here is the world map from Need for Speed Payback for a better orientation. Later on we will only use map sections to show you the hiding places of the wreckage:

NISSAN Fairlady 240ZG 1971

You get the hint where to find the chassis of the Nissan Fairlady 240ZG 1971 from the boss of the first offroad league, Udo. Here is an overview of the locations:

Chassis and engine block

You can find the chassis (1) west of the airfield, but you have to leave the road and drive a bit on a dirt road to get to its hiding place.

The engine block (2) can be found east of the solar plant, about halfway between the plant and the highway.

Body part A

You can find the body part A (3) in the northwest of the game world near the apex of the prominent curve on the map.

Wheels

For the wheels(4) you have to drive to the northeast of the game world. There you'll find a quite tangled road network, where you have to concentrate on the southernmost of the tracks before you would leave the canyon.

Body part B

The last two parts, body part B (5), are hiding east of the train station in Fortune Valley and southwest of the airport.

Ford Mustang 1965

You get the hint where to find the chassis of the Ford Mustang 1965 from the boss of the first racing league, La Catrina. Here is an overview of the locations:

Chassis

The chassis (1) can be found in the very east of the Need for Speed Payback game world in the canyon. Drive along the road near the river until you find an entrance to a trailer park.

Engine block

In the very southwest of the game world you can find the engine block (2). To find it, just take the road south from the Fortune Valley Casino.

Body part A

You can recover the body part A (3) if you search in the northeast from the train station in Fortune Valley, about halfway to the highway.

Wheels

If you head east from the Observatory and then follow the highway north, you'll quickly get close to where the wheels are hidden (4).

Body part B

Body part B (5) last but not least waits west of the Silver Casino and thus in the east of the game world.

Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup 1965

You get the clue to the 1965 Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup from the boss of the Drag League in Silver Rock - provided you defeat him. Here is an overview of the locations:

Chassis

The chassis (1) of the Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup 1965 can be found in the east of the game world near the Silver Canyon and the Casino.

Engine block

You can find the engine block (2) of the Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup 1965 if you drive north from the solar park to Ember Peak. Just take the road west of the solar park, which leads north, because this is exactly where you will find it.

Body parts A

The hiding place of the body parts A (3) is located southwest of the Silver Dam.

Body parts B

If you want to collect the body parts B (4), you have to race to the west of the game world. There you can recover the parts north of the Fortune Valley Casino.

Wheels

The wheels of the Chevrolet C10 Stepside Pickup 1965 are stored south of the solar park in the desert. You can find them about halfway from the plant to the Fortune Valley train station.

Chevrolet Bel Air 1955

Once you complete the last mission of the first runner class in Silver Rock, you will get the clue where the chassis of the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air can be recovered.

Chassis

The chassis (1) of the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air is rusting away in Silver Rock near the Ark Tower. Just drive towards the construction site and then take the "dirt road", there the chassis is not too hidden.

Engine block

The engine block (2) is once again located in the northeast in Silver Canyon, roughly near the railroad track.

Body parts A

When you go in search of the body parts A (3), you will have to drive to the southernmost part of the Need for Speed Payback game world. Between the desert and Mount Providence you will find them.

Body parts B

The body parts B (4) are waiting for you to pick them up in the east of the game world, very roughly near the Silver Casino.

Wheels

The wheels (5) of the Chevrolet Bel Air 1955 stew in the desert in the end. Very close to the train station in Fortune Valley, south of the solar park.

VW Beetle 1963

You'll get the clue to the chassis of the 1963 VW Beetle as soon as you've passed the Drift Racing League.

Chassis and engine block

You can find the chassis (1) in the Mount Providence region. Just drive north on the highway from Braxton and take the first exit.

For the engine block (2) you have to drive a little bit further north.

Body parts A

The body parts A (3) can be found in the east of the game world, west of the Silver Casinos.
