Tips and Strategies
Upgrade and avoid the cops
As you progress in the game, the levels become increasingly difficult. To keep up with the pace of the early stages of the game, you will need to upgrade as much as you can in order to avoid the cops.
Purchase instead of upgrade
If you can, it would be wiser to save up the bills to purchase a new and better car instead of the upgrades for the car you currently have. For example, you may want to purchase a GMC K10 truck since it has double the power of any of the starter cars. However, make sure to watch the prices for every car, since upgrade costs tend to rise gradually.
Win the league!
If event leagues are available, always join them, as they always give the best rewards in terms of bills and coins. Also, the more leagues you join in, the faster you'll move up through the ranks and unlock more leagues in higher difficulties - meaning better rewards.
Always use your boosts
There are different kinds of boosts available for you to use. One of them is the full nitro, which you can use to speed through your opponents. Collect the blue bottles in a stage and once your nitro meter is full, double tap the screen to use it. You can also use the invincibility boosts, which gives you invincibility for 5 seconds, or the combo extender boost, which as the name suggests, extends the time you need to keep a combo going.
Tricksters always win
In order to attain three stars for a stage, you will have to gain the maximum amount of points that you can. To do this, you may want to sideswipe every passing car in order to keep your combos going. Every time you jump, always do a barrel roll in order to score bonus points as well.
Take advantage of the slipstream
If you find yourself lacking a nitro boost when you need it, you can take advantage of the cars right in front of you. Stay behind them and draft in order to get a mini speed boost.
Join a gang!
You will be able to recover your energy faster if you're in a gang. Also, you will be able to access gang-exclusive missions and events which can get you different awards like bills and coins.
Don't just slam on everything
The tutorial has shown you that by slamming other cars in the side, you get a destruction stunt which earns you extra points. However, in doing this, especially with heavier vehicles such as buses, you only get slower. Also, if you try and hit them from the rear, you would only end up crashing which will end your current run.
