Shady Oaks (Insurance Fraud) Tips and Strategies

Head to an Intersection

Insurance Fraud will need you to get hit by countless cars to build up enough cash. The best areas for these are busy intersections where vehicles are passing through from all directions. This gives you lots of chances to crash into one and earn money.

Get Hit by Fast Cars to Build Up Adrenaline

Adrenaline is vital for Insurance Fraud since it lets you blow up vehicles that you land on and creates a lot of airtime. You can build this up quickly by jumping then going limp as a fast vehicle approaches you. Larger vehicles such as trucks will be even better in terms of cash and Adrenaline build-up.

Build Up a Combo and Get Airtime

You can earn the most cash by building up combos and getting lengthy airtimes. You build up combos by landing and bouncing off vehicles, with each car hit adding one to your combo counter.

Airtime is part of this as you hover in the air for longer as your combo increases. Combos also increase your Adrenaline time, so you could potentially need just one Adrenaline bar for a whole mission.

Head to an Area Where Cars are Stopped to Maximize Adrenaline

Once your Adrenaline starts, it's best to be in areas where cars are either slow or even completely stopped. This makes it easier to build up a combo and prolong your adrenaline since your targets will be still, which makes landing on them simple.

Luckily, if you cause enough chaos at intersections, cars will start to pile up as they crash into each other. This essentially gives you a whole nest of vehicles to land on.
