NFSPB Jaguar Activity

Activities in Need for Speed: Payback are a total of 145 asynchronous competitive events found across Fortune Valley.

Each individual activity location has a 3-star rating attached to it, which has three targets the player can surpass to earn stars. All three targets for an activity location are shown as a star rating, with each subsequently higher rating increasing in difficulty towards its completion.

Beating a star rating will reward the player with rep and bank. The amount of reputation and bank awarded to the player depends on the star rating they have beaten, and beating a personal best will always reward the same amount.

Owning the High Roller Pack will add an extra 5% bank and reputation reward to all target rewards.
