In Need for Speed Payback, derelicts are hidden cars that require you to find five parts each: engine, transmission, chassis, suspension, and brakes. Once all parts are collected, you can restore a classic ride like the '55 Chevy Bel Air. This guide focuses on the suspension and brakes parts for that derelict. Unlike the engine or transmission, suspension and brakes are often trickier to spot because they blend into the environment. Here’s exactly where to find them.
Understanding Derelict Parts in NFS Payback
Derelict parts are scattered across Fortune Valley. You can track them on the map after you’ve started the derelict story mission from the garage. Each part type has a distinct icon: a coil spring for suspension, a disc brake for brakes. The parts are usually located in remote areas, junkyards, or industrial zones. This guide covers the two most commonly searched parts for the '55 Chevy Bel Air derelict.
Suspension Part Location
The suspension part for the '55 Chevy Bel Air is found in the Liberty Desert region, specifically near the Cascadia Mountains. Open your map and look for the suspension icon. It’s located on a dirt road southwest of the Cascadia safe house. The exact coordinates are roughly (X: 2340, Y: 4230).
When you arrive, you’ll see a broken-down pickup truck next to a large rock. The suspension part is on the ground behind that truck. You don’t need to jump or climb; just walk up to it and press the interaction button. Watch out for nearby police patrols—they’re random, but if you’re on a wanted level, it’s best to lose them first.
Tips for the Suspension Part
- Use a fast car to reach the location quickly, but be careful on the dirt roads—they’re bumpy.
- The part is visible from a distance if you’re using GPS, but the icon may not appear until you’re within 200 meters.
- If you can’t find it, adjust the time of day. Sometimes lighting makes it harder to see. Fast travel to a nearby gas station and change the time to daytime.
Brakes Part Location
The brakes part is in the Silver Canyon region, east of the Airport. Look for the brakes icon on the map near the abandoned warehouse district. Coordinates are approximately (X: 3150, Y: 2700).
This part is inside a small shed behind a chain-link fence. There’s a gate that you can ram through with any vehicle. Once inside, the brakes part is on a shelf next to some oil drums. It’s easy to miss because it’s small and gray. Use your spotlight (if equipped) or turn up brightness to spot it.
Tips for the Brakes Part
- The area has a few jump ramps. Avoid them unless you want to stunt around.
- Be cautious of security vehicles. This location is near a police station, so wanted levels increase quickly.
- If the icon doesn’t appear, make sure you have the derelict mission active. Sometimes parts register only after you’ve started the hunt.
Completing the Derelict Set
Once you have both suspension and brakes, you still need the engine, transmission, and chassis to fully restore the '55 Chevy Bel Air. The engine is near the scrapyard in the Big Sams region, the chassis is in the mountains of the Silver Canyon, and the transmission is on the racetrack in the Bayside area. Each part follows a similar pattern: a specific icon on the map, usually in an out-of-the-way spot.
After collecting all five parts, return to the garage to restore the car. You can choose from several customization options, including engine swaps and body kits. The restored Bel Air is a drift monster, great for drift events and just cruising.
Common Mistakes When Searching for Derelict Parts
Many players get stuck because they don’t zoom in enough on the map. The icons are small, so use the minimap filter to show only derelict icons. Another mistake is not collecting the part immediately after finding it. If you leave the area, the icon may disappear temporarily, but it will come back. Finally, online guides sometimes have wrong coordinates due to different game versions. These locations are verified for the latest patch.
Practical Advice for Derelict Hunting
- Upgrade your car’s off-road abilities: Suspension and brakes parts are often off-road. A rally suspension and all-terrain tires help.
- Use the scanner ability: Some player upgrades allow you to see collectibles from farther away. Check the skill tree.
- Play with friends in co-op: If you’re stuck, having a friend help search can speed things up.
- Don’t fast travel too close: Fast traveling to a gas station then driving 500 meters is better than landing right on the part, which sometimes glitches the spawn.
Final Recommendation
For NFS Payback players hunting the suspension and brakes derelict parts, the best approach is to first unlock the derelict story mission, then set your map filter to only show derelict parts. Drive to the coordinates provided above during daytime to avoid confusion. Collect the suspension in the Liberty Desert, then the brakes in Silver Canyon. After you have all five parts, the restored '55 Chevy Bel Air is a fantastic addition to your garage. If you need the other parts, guides for those are widely available, but for suspension and brakes, you now know exactly where to go. Happy hunting in Fortune Valley!
