What a novice street racer should do about the police problem.

What should a novice street racer do about the police problem.

Cops… What do we actually know about them? They are computer bots, calculating, cold programs created by man. They are absolutely not characterized by concern for their own or others' well-being – they won't hesitate to put their car across the road, they won't hesitate to crash head-on into you, they won't be ashamed to push you into a traffic car, in short, they won't disdain any means of possible arrest. They are unfamiliar with such human feelings as fear, pity, anger, because this is not a mind, but only its computer imitation. Having assembled, the code segments of its intelligence form only one command – CATCH AT ANY COST! So what will our answer be to the traffic inspectors? Read this article in detail and then they will get what they deserve from you…

So, let's start by listing the police cars and the “anger levels” in which they are used. There are seven levels in total:

1. The first – a few patrol cars that joined the chase for fun. They literally “cruise”, not risking and not accelerating, posing a danger only to the walls they constantly crash into.
2. The second – 5-10 black cars arrive on call and conduct a more serious chase, because their driving skills have improved, and roadblocks have already begun to be set up…
3. The third – now this is getting more interesting. Pontiacs GTO enter the scene, with a beautiful (for cops) “POLICE” vinyl. You will encounter spike strips, improved intelligence, jeeps.
4. The fourth – the same Pontiacs, but now just black. As in all subsequent “conditions” (levels), driving has improved. A helicopter circles in the sky, not losing sight of you, but absolutely passive.
5. The fifth – well, the serious game begins. Cops drive white Corvettes, and out of nowhere Sergeant Cross appears in his tuned car. Now the police don't just all together hit the doors and trunk, but unite for more complex detention schemes. The helicopter begins to descend and attack, pressing you into the road, or pushing you toward a wall.
6. The sixth – you will encounter it only once in the game – after defeating Razor. Black Corvettes, jeeps and Cross will chase you side by side. In my opinion, this pursuit is the hardest in the career, because before the only opportunity to escape appears, five minutes of fierce racing will pass.
7. The last – the seventh. Only jeeps (besides the helicopter), you won't encounter it in the career.

I've listed the levels, but don't forget about the cars (and not only). There are ten types in total, namely:

1. The worst of all – the patrol car. Not only is it zero in a pursuit, but on top of that it doesn't start chasing you until you violate some traffic rule. It is present only at the first anger level, and for wrecking it they give 250 bounty points.
2. The black regular car exists only at the second level, for wrecking it they give 500 points. It differs little from its predecessor, but it already starts the chase immediately, without thinking, plus its endurance has increased…
3. The black-and-white Pontiac can already dispel accumulated boredom – it has beautiful vinyl, good handling, endurance higher than the two predecessors combined. It is present at the third level, worth 2500 bounty points.
4. A simply black Pontiac with no special differences from the previous one, except for greater endurance and higher top speed. Worth 5000 bounty, exists only at the fourth level.
5. A light jeep – an SUV designed for prompt but radical actions. Most often it stands in roadblocks, but sometimes it is used for a head-on hit. It exists only at the third and fourth levels, for wrecking it – 15000 bounty. Until now we were talking about the local police of the city of Rockport, further we will talk about the state police, that is, the police operating throughout the entire territory of the USA.
6. White Corvettes with police identification markings all over the body. They can already make a player of any level sweat. For them they give 20000 bounty, they exist only at the fifth level.
7. Black Corvettes – truly dangerous opponents. They act as a single whole, and with their stats this becomes dangerous. 25000 bounty, only at the sixth level!
8. Rhino jeeps. There is a common misconception that they are slow and clumsy. But this is not true, rhinos are the best, because they are not a gram behind the Corvettes in handling, they are harder to push out of place or flip, they have powerful engines, which gives them an advantage in a small battle area, the total amount of allowable damage is greater than that of other police cars. Fast, powerful, exceeding the other cop cars in size by at least two times, these SUVs are the best (except Cross). The fifth, sixth, seventh levels are under their control, for destroying SUCH a monster you will get 60000 bounty! And those cops who cannot be compared with others.
9. Cross. He is undoubtedly better than any other cop in all respects, plus he is a personality, not just someone, so he cannot be compared with others. The fifth and sixth levels are completely subject to him. For his uniqueness the cost has increased to 200000 bounty.
10. Helicopter. It cannot be destroyed at all. But it also cannot conduct a detention on its own. And it performs only the role of a “tail”, watching and following you closely. It flies at the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh levels. You won't be able to get bounty with its help.Determine the wanted level by the scale. When you drive around the city – it is around the mini-map, when you stand in the garage – in the right part of the screen.

Surely beginners have a question – what is “bounty”. These are points that are awarded to you for causing harm to the police. There are two ways to earn them:

1. Wreck cop cars.

2. Complete tasks, peculiar milestones that you will have to pass in the career.
   There is also another type of points – harm caused to the city budget. They can be earned as follows:

3. Smash traffic cars.

4. Knock down/destroy objects around you.

So, now directly about fighting those annoying cops. Let's start with ways to wreck their cars:

1. Of course, the main way is the breakables, presented in the form of some large structures held up by small supports. All of this is ready to collapse at any moment; the main thing is to hit it correctly: knock out the support of a tower, the stand of a ship, the post of a giant donut, etc. On the mini-map they are marked with red triangles.
2. Hit from the side. A) if you are on a sufficiently wide road, you need to do the following – move 5-6 meters to the side, catch up and sharply cut across. If you do everything correctly, you will hit their side at an angle of 35-40 degrees, causing them to flip over, or simply fall far behind, possibly even lose you. B) when breaking through barricades you need to hit at an angle and precisely on the door; because of this the cops fly into the air, and you drive on. True, there is a chance that not only the cop will flip over…
3. Side-swipe. You need to do roughly the same as in point 2a, only in this case the cop needs to be hit hard against the side, increasing damage twice as much as in 2a.
4. Head-on. Most often this technique is used by jeeps; here are the defense methods – active and passive: Active – if you are moving VERY fast, crash head-on, but if not – use a trick. As soon as you notice the jeeps, turn to any side (they will rush the same way), then sharply turn to the opposite side, and then back to the old one. Due to inertia the jeeps will fly along the first course, and you will hit the side of one of them, flipping it onto its roof. Passive – simply dodge them without starting stressful situations. You can attack in only one way – accelerate as fast as possible and hit them right in the front bumper. If the speed turns out to be high enough, you will wreck their car.

Roadblocks. There are two types – regular and spiked. I will list the common features. Length no more than six cars and no less than two. The roadblock can contain both jeeps and regular cops corresponding to the heat level. Here are a few basic roadblock schemes, listing from left to right:

1.car, car. All sideways.
2.car, car, car, car, car, car. All sideways.
3.spikes, car, two cars, car. All sideways except the last one – it faces head-on.
4.car, spikes. All sideways.
5.spikes, car. All sideways.
6.car, car, spikes, car, car. All sideways.
7.spikes, car, car, spikes. All sideways.
8.spikes, car, two cars farther apart, car. All sideways.
There are other schemes too, since the cops adapt to the terrain, so I won't undertake to list them all. In this matter the cops don't like change and set up roadblocks in the same places, so if you drive through the same section quite often, gradually you will remember these places and will roughly know how to drive.

A few tips for getting through blocks:

1.often a gap forms between the block and the wall; you can slip through it.
2.sometimes there is a detour; you can avoid the roadblock by using it.
3.there is space between the cars through which you can slip.
4.you don't always need to fly through them at enormous speed; sometimes you need to slow down and carefully drive around everyone.
5.if your speed is low, try to hit the cars closer to the front or rear fender.
6.if you push a traffic car with great force, it can smash any roadblock. The main thing is to transfer enough energy to it.

How to quickly escape pursuit.

There is the most primitive and easy way – wreck everyone with a breakable and immediately hide in a blue spot. But there are other ways too – if you are driving in the oncoming lane: accelerate as fast as possible, don't crash and pass as close as possible to the traffic cars. In 70% of cases one of the cops will crash, causing a pileup. If you are driving on your own side – get onto a narrow road, race as fast as you can and cut off the traffic cars – they block the pursuers' path, and you don't lose speed doing this. So what is needed in general? Max speed and perfect cornering. Only through speed can you escape at most from the fourth level (at least that's what I manage), beyond that you need to have some skill…

Of course, no matter how much of a professional you are, you can't pass on all your skills through text… With this article I tried to give you a good foundation, but the truth is learned through practice… So let's wear our tires against the asphalt, wake up the Rockport police, find out how deep the rabbit hole goes and become Most Wanted…
