When you know a Spike Strip drop is immanent, keep your eyes to the horizon and listen for a metallic clanking sound. The radio operator will always warn you of an impending Spike Strip attack, so keep your ears pealed. Spike Strips are dropped by police cars ahead of you. On impact, cars hit on the front or back will spin away, moving out of your path and often giving you a Take Down reboost. If no gap is apparent or a rival has your approach blocked, aim for the ends of the roadblock cars rather than their center. Look for the gap in police lights ahead, and aim for it. When a cop positions himself next to you, sideswipe him, pin him, accelerate, or brake. Never, ever allow an unentangled police car to pull alongside you. Pinning involves a police car sharply turning in front of you, simultaneously driving you into the roadside and blocking your path. The cops have three main weapons to use against you: pinning, Road Blocks, and Spike Strips. While sideways rams have little effect on straightaways, catching a vehicle with a solid sideways impact on even a gentle curve can often send them flying. Rival vehicles are also vulnerable to sideswipes, especially when taking a curve. trapping a pursuing foe into the left-hand lanes can also result in a spectacular crash. If you have the skill, pinning another car into the roadside can be an effective tactic, especially if you can time their release to coincide with the approach of an oncoming vehicle. This is especially important because Take Downs refill your Nitrous meter automatically.įorcing an enemy into a head on collision is one of the best ways to take them down. Both rivals and police pursuers are vulnerable to aggressive driving maneuvers. With the exception of Hot Rides, love taps and outright rams can carry you a long way in Need for Speed. If it's a rival racer and you have the durability, forget the gentility and smash them, using the impact to take take them down and the rebound to turn.
If a sharp turn is coming up and there's a car nearby moving at similar speed, gently tapping it with your own will sometimes allow you to take the turn with very little loss of Speed. If you must turn quickly, rely on your brakes or apply a Drift. It slows your vehicle and almost always results in collision with roadside hazards. Turning the wheel too quickly almost never had the desired effect. The same wisdom on steering from the console/PC version also applies to the iOS port: never, ever oversteer. The time lost recovering from a brake tap is usually less than that lost in a direct impact. While over-application of brakes can kill velocity, tapping breaks while turning can be very useful in avoid impact with walls and other cars. Nitrous is a limited resource, but brakes may be used at will. It is also possible to apply Nitrous before sliding, which results in an easier slide but expends more Nitrous Oxide.īecause Acceleration is automatic in the iOS port, Nitrous and braking represent the only active ways a player can manage velocity and acceleration. Repeating this maneuver whenever possible can shave precious seconds off of a race.

The driver then applies Nitrous, rocketing the Car out of the turn and at high speed onto the straightaway. As the car rotates, the driver waits until the Vehicle's front is aligned with the linear direction of the road beyond the curve.
One potent maneuver well worth practicing is a power slide, in which driver first enters a turn in a Drift.
