Tips for controlling the car better?

[SheepGravy]

Holy crap. Me and that car do not get along. It feels like just tapping W sending me flying. And that underground area that you can enter with the car. I was so close to rage after i messed up about 10 times in a row. Then I got to the acorn using F for slowdown and well there is more driving after that. I just went back the way I came.

Any tips? If I have to go through that underground area I might just quit because I don't play games to get frustrated.

It can feel a bit better with a controller, but yeah, car controls are pretty frustrating at times

alt+f4 for better controls

Do I have to go through that area to get farther?

Nice attempt.

Yeah, you have to go through the tank bunker track and beat Father to open more of the map to progress.

Thankfully, the tank bunker track isn't a time trial or race. You can take it slow and steady if the controls are giving you grief.

If you have a controller with back paddles or programmable buttons, it helps so much to assign accelerate and brake on those like any other racer would with the triggers. I have a steam controller, and it works flawlessly!

I kept going through the level thinking I had to drive and shoot simultaneously and I kept falling off the road. Turns out you can just drive into the enemies and not use a gun. That and a controller made things a whole lot easier for me in case that was tripping you up too!

A streamer I watch had issues with that too, turns out any guns lying on the ground will do the same thing to the car what banana peel does to cartoon characters. And in that chase corridor there are quite a bit of guns on the ground, especially where there's that row of agents. The streamer I watch eventually got it done by using bullet time and maneuvering carefully.

I gave up on the RC car in that boss fight, was an awful time using it. Fight was 100times easier without the car.

If you cant make a car work right with a keyboard and mouse in 2024 you have no business making a game. I dont know how people keep ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up vehicles so badly (coughcybertrash77cough) but somehow everyone goes full ♥♥♥♥♥♥ when it comes to how car controls for vehicles work now

You only need 40 gold acorns to finish the game. In the endgame area, there is an Albino skin that make you immune to electricity, so you can always grab that later, then come back and just walk the path for the acorn requirement.

There is a similar car track acorn later in the game and that's exactly how I beat it, by using that skin and just walk through the track.

If you're stuck on the track on the first pass, unfortunately there isn't much you can do about it other than just taking it slow and practice. On mouse and keyboard, you can hold down right mouse click to lock the car speed, then just worry about steering left and right.

I do agree that making that track section a requirement is a questionable design decision though given what this game is about. I bought this game for funny squirrel gunning down people, not to play Rainbow Road on hard difficulty.

Hold right mouse down it's literally an adjustable cruise control.

The Speed of the car affects how you move, Control problems are all on the user.

At first I was like IMMA ALT F4, Holding down right mouse allows for fine speed adjust then you can turn correctly, sharp turns at 200+ will have consequences.
