Tips and tricks
- Headshots, weak points and combo multipliers are where high scores live; once survival is comfortable, start hunting for them.
- Move between shots. Many shooters make you an easy target only when you stand in one place.
- Learn the spawn points. Most levels reuse the same few entry points, and knowing them turns panic into routine.
- Prioritise the threat that will hurt you soonest, not the one that is closest or biggest. Fast enemies before slow ones, shooters before melee.
- Because this is a Driving game, keep your eyes far down the road — you will react earlier to what is coming.
