NFSC - Pursuit Challenges in Career
By El Nico.
Latest Update:
v1.4 - Events for Kenji, Angie and Wolf.
(dd/mm/yyyy)
(24/06/2026)
DISCLAIMER!!!!!!!!!!!!
If You're updating from a previous version, make sure you first uninstall the old version using the uninstaller provided by the old version.
Install the new version after uninstalling the old version.
Added events for Kenji, Angie and Wolf.
Each boss has 4 pursuit events and 2 photo tickets.
For Kenji, Angie and Wolf events, you only need to complete 4/6 of the events.
You can also start them at any heat level, meaning you can build up your heat over time, like in MW.
All Silverton events can now be started from any heat level.
All Silverton events are now unlocked at a consistent reputation level.
Changed several milestone passed strings so they're a 1:1, or more close match of their MW version, with a few exceptions.
Added the option to have MW style milestone event names.
You can have the more generic milestone event names from MW if you want.
For example:
Instead of "Infinity Park Cost to State", it will be "Cost to State Challenge"
Changed trackmap icon texture for insurance claims milestone events.
It now uses the hit and run icon from NFSMW Race Fixes (NFSMW Upscaled HUD version).
Changed trackmap icon texture for cop takeout modes (cops destroyed and rhinos destroyed).
It now uses the 256x256 texture from NFSMW Upscaled HUD.
Milestone Achieved Binary strings are now set in the IndicationType vlt field for each milestone type,
instead of being hardcoded.
Fixed non-time related milestones showing 'an hour' in the track record field.
Time related milestones (pursuit evasion time and pursuit length) now show the time you have to evade within, or evade after.
The entry text for pursuit evasion time and pursuit length milestones is now correctly shown in [minutes:seconds.milliseconds] format.
For example:
EVADE AFTER:
13:00.00
pursuit_evasion_time Milestone Type:
When you have 10 seconds or less remaining, it now shows a message with the time you have remaining,
similar to checkpoint/tollbooth races.
The message disappears about a second after entering cooldown (give or take).
Photo Ticket Events:
- Now uses 'speedtrap' event icon.
- In menu 'Record' section now shows speed requirement.
- Disabled CanyonDropZone for photo tickets in canyon locations, as losing by falling off a canyon is only supported with 'tollbooth' 'drift' and 'canyon' event types.
- *You can still technically jump off the canyon, but the race won't end.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Cops are now required to progress through the career,
rather than being mostly an annoyance.
Heavily inspired by the "Wanted Events" from Undercover PS2,
these play more like the Wanted Events from UCPS2,
rather than the open world bounty and milestone requirements from MW.
There are 10-14 pursuit events that are shared between Vanilla, Improvement Mod v2 and Ultimate Mod.
You are required to complete 10 of them (14 if you've installed them) in order to challenge Darius in the Canyon.
They're generally based on the mid-late game milestone challenges from MW.
These are:
- Commit 6 Infractions.
- Get 300K Cost To State.
- Avoid 8 Roadblocks.
- Tag 36 Cop Cars.
- Escape within 2:00.00 minutes.
- Destroy 45 Cop Cars.
- Destroy 3 Heavy Rhinos(non-supercharged).
- Avoid 11 Spike Strips.
- Evade Cops After 13:00.00 minutes.
- Get 1,750,000 Bounty.
4 Added Events:
- Hit 15 Traffic Cars, Heat 4.
- Evade 2 Pursuits in a row, Heat 4.
- Get 8 Cops Actively Involved, Heat 5.
- Get 55 Total Cops Involved, Heat 8. (Heat 9 for UltMod, Heat 10 for ImpMod)
4 Photo Ticket Events:

- San Juan Photo Ticket: 250 km/h.
- Lofty Heights Photo Ticket: 240 km/h.
- Palmont Speedway Photo Ticket: 180 km/h.
If you choose to install them, there are also 4 pursuit events and 2 photo tickets for Kenji, Angie and Wolf.
For each boss, you only need to complete 4/6 of the events.
As an example, you can complete 2 photo tickets and 2 pursuit events.
These are:
Kenji (Bushido):
- Chinatown Chasedown (Get 4 Cops Actively Involved)
- Billings District Blitz (Destroy 6 Cop Cars)

List of compatible larger mods:
- Improvement Mod v2.
- Ultimate Mod.
- Remastered UI (non-W2C)
Optional, but highly recommended:
- W2C by Max Hwoy + Others
https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/3041
MW's map was designed with pursuits in mind, whereas Carbon's wasn't.
Pursuits themselves aren't really any more difficult on Carbon's map,
but they can be painfully annoying to escape at times.
If you're installing on a vanilla copy of the game, install W2C using VltEd first, then switch over to OGVI[Attribulator].
Note:
W2C in its current form does cause some level of instability.
For example:
The 14 pursuit events + 4 photo tickets option works mostly fine for ImpMod without W2C.
With W2C, the game crashes upon trying to enter the world (Yes I made sure hyperlinked.asi was in the scripts folder).
Improvement Mod v2 has an OGVI compatibility patch for W2C.
If you want to use this mod along with Ultimate Mod + W2C, then:
1. Install W2C on a clean copy of Carbon using VltEd.
2. Install Ultimate Mod using Binary or Binarius.
3. Install Pursuit Challenges.
4. Optional: Install any other mods you want, or just leave it at that.
For those who want a challenge:
- Relentless Cops (Carbon) by JackJohnson
https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/2013
- Revamped Pursuits (Carbon) by Splash45
https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/1781
- Carbon: Maximum Lethality Mod by XeroAbsolute
https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/7359

* If you find the CTS tracker annoying, select the "Disable the Cost to State milestone tracker" checkbox.
5. Click Import.
6. Save changes.
Part 2b: Adding the bytecodes [Attribulator + OGVI]
In order for things to function at all, let alone as intended,
you will need to manually add the blobs to their corresponding messagehandler nodes.
These are Lua scripts compiled into bytecode that the game can read.
As far as I'm aware, there is no 'import_bytecode' or 'import_blob' commands for VltEd or Attribulator,
so once again, you will need to do this manually.
1. Within OGVI, go into gameplay > baseelement > messagehandler and double click on the following nodes:
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_initial_handler_stateenter
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_stateenter
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_raceover_handler_stateenter
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_niscomplete
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_notifymilestoneprogress
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_notifyracetime
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_notifyracetime_2
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_notifyracetimesectick
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_notifytimer
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_perpbusted
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_perpescaped
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_stateenter
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_triggerenter
2. within each node, go to where it says bytecode and press "Import binary file" (The grey arrow pointing down, near the top right corner)
3. Go into the BLOBS -> wantedevent folder and select the blob that matches the node name.
4. Either double click, or press "Open" on the blob that matches the node name.
5. Make sure you've done this step for all 13 nodes, and MAKE SURE the names of the blobs match the names of the messagehandler nodes.
6. Save changes and exit.
7. Enjoy :)
If You've installed an option with photo ticket events,
you will need repeat the process for the following 6 nodes:
These are located in the BLOBS -> wantedevent_phototicket folder,
with one being located in the wantedevent_phototicket_canyon sub folder.
wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_abandoned_handler_stateenter
wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_initial_handler_stateenter
wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_stateenter
wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_notifytimer
wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_stateenter
wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_triggerenter
If You've enabled the Challenge Series intro camera and rolling start,
you will need repeat the process for the following 4 nodes:
These are located in the BLOBS -> challengecamera folder.
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_countdown_handler_icecamerafinished
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_icecamerafinished
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_stateexit
wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_icecamerafinished

@SusInstall all of the VltEd mods that you want with VltEd first, and then switch over to OGVI.
Improvement mod v2 and Tier 3 car balancing update also support OGVI.
I know it's a little bit inconvenient, but that's just how it is.
A crucial part of the installation process is adding the bytecodes (blobs) to their respective messagehandler nodes.
These are lua scripts compiled into bytecode that the game can read.
As far as I'm aware, there's no way of doing this in VltEd, though I could be wrong.
Sus (November 13, 2025 @ 04:02)
@ElNico but if i want to install it ¿how i do it? OGVI is not compatible with Vlted and only you can use only one of them (if you use ogvi you cant use vlted again) and i have mods that uses vlted in the installation like ImpModv2 and your Tier 3 cars Balancing mod
ElNico (November 12, 2025 @ 11:36)
@SusForgot to mention.
I might add an optional script that increases the MaxOpenWorldHeat from 8 to 10, so if your copy of the game supports heat 10, you can actually reach it while in the pursuit.
ElNico (November 12, 2025 @ 11:33)
@SusIt cannot be installed with VltEd.
As for the heat level stuff, such as heat 9 and 10:
I tested that out during development, and it worked fine,
but I ended up sticking with Heat 5 and 8 just to make mod compatibility less of a headache.
For example with ImpMod, some people might have MW heat level order, some might not.
Hope this helps :)
Sus (November 12, 2025 @ 01:47)
it cant be installed with Vlted? also would be nice a challenge in condition 9 or 10(i dont remember if the 9 is used but even ImpMod has the 10 unused)Download
