Car Battle Tips

Utilize Missile Target Locking

The Car is one of the few vehicles that can equip missiles as their primary weapon. This type of weapon has a special feature that allows you to lock on to targets, and your missiles will automatically follow their targets even if they move. To lock onto targets hold down the Fire button without releasing it, and targets will appear over the enemies as shown in the video above; then, release the button to launch the missiles.

Use this to your advantage and shoot enemies from afar before engaging them to reduce their numbers immediately.

Take Advantage of Your Speed

The Car is a great alternative to the Motorbike when traversing the map due to its speed and durability. It may not be as fast or able to get as much air from ramps, but you can still outrun enemies and kite them to avoid taking damage.
