Game Modes

Description |
| Race |
First to complete the required laps or reach the finish line wins. |
| Elimination |
The last-place vehicle is eliminated at intervals until one remains. |
| Last Vehicle Standing |
Destroy all opposing vehicles to win. |
| Objective |
Complete a defined objective (e.g., capture zones, collect items) before your opponents. |
Modes are available in both local multiplayer and online play.
Vehicles
Each vehicle class has distinct characteristics:
- Light / Nimble – High speed and acceleration, low armor. Best for race modes and evasion.
- Medium / Balanced – Good all-around performance for mixed modes.
- Heavy / Combat Rig – High armor and firepower, lower top speed. Dominant in elimination and last-vehicle-standing.
New vehicles and skins are unlocked through play and progression.

Tips
- Learn the weapon timing for each vehicle class — heavy rigs deal more damage but have slower fire rates.
- In race modes, use the handbrake for tight corners rather than braking fully.
- In elimination modes, hanging back briefly can let other players eliminate each other early.
