A nitrous oxide system, or NOS, is a chemical compound used in street racing cars. NOS is used frequently throughout the NFS series.
In the Need for Speed series
NOS can be bought for the player's car from the respective store. It will give a speed boost to the player's car when fired for an amount of time, but will just slightly increase the speed if used in short bursts. As the NFS series progressed, NOS also got some new features, such as in Need for Speed: Underground 2, the player could have to layers of nitrous; the dark blue first, and then the light blue on top. Players can also upgrade their levels of nitrous after buying a level in the store. For example, after buying level one NOS, the player can buy level two NOS. However, in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010), every car is equipped with NOS.
Tips
Here are some tips about using NOS:
- Sometimes, saving your NOS until the bar is almost filled is better, since short bursts are less effective than a whole blast most of the time.
- Try to do some things on the road to get earn some more NOS, such as avoiding oncoming traffic or slipstreaming other cars.
- Drifting will also help earn NOS and is, to most NFS fans, the easiest way to earn more NOS during a race.
