Collectibles in Need for Speed: Heat are a total of 315 items across Palm City, of which there are three different types, that can be collected by either colliding with them using a car or pressing a button prompt when near an item.
Each individual collectible has its own location that isn't shown on the player's map until they've driven near an undiscovered collectible. Each collectible type is also not made collectible until the player has reached a certain reputation level.
Successfully collecting certain collectibles will reward the player with rep and bank or a decal. Reputation and bank are awarded to the player for collecting billboards or flamingos, but collecting street art will only reward the decal collected.
Owning the Deluxe Edition will add an extra 5% bank and reputation reward to collected billboards and flamingos.
