The vast open map of Need for Speed Unbound has a variety of hidden collectibles, including the large promotional Billboards that players may find throughout the various district locations they travel between. Crashing into these structures completes a collection goal for the player and grants a small amount of currency. Each Billboard unlocks on the map once players have completed the game’s prologue mission or instantly should they play online. Progress toward destroying these objects remains no matter if the player switches between the Online or Story modes available.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
Overall, eighty Billboards are scattered around 21 Districts, indicated on the map by a pentagon-shaped symbol that hosts a silhouette of a billboard. Players will typically find a ramp that precedes a Billboard, encouraging a swift drive that launches them through the advertisement.
The “Adbuster” trophy/achievement unlocks when players destroy every Billboard, in addition to progress toward another reward that represents 100% completion of Need for Speed Unbound called “Cleaning Up.” Once a Billboard is destroyed, it will respawn eventually as a blank canvas with graffiti on both sides, letting players know if it has already been collected.

Every Billboard Location Sorted By Districts in Need For Speed Unbound
Players should note that one area in Need for Speed Unbound, Duncan Bay, does not have any Billboards to find. Although there may be other items that count as collectibles in this section, such as Bears and Street Art, players do not need to linger in this part of the map when searching for Billboards. Proper calculation of angle and speed might also be necessary as players approach these Billboards, as their car’s performance in Need for Speed Unbound directly impacts their trajectory off the provided ramps into these placed landmarks. According to the Youtube channel MotoGamesTV, here are all the Billboards players can find in Need For Speed: Unbound:
