Tips on the battle races?

[NovaGB]

I'm new to the game but not new to zero gravity racers, i'm on one of the career events its literally just called 3. Firefight...

The problem i'm having is i have to kill 8 ships to get the gold medal, which weapon should i be using here? because at the moment it is taking like 6 rockets to kill one ship, so i hang back behind and keep just blasting ships over and over and i keep only getting about 3 kills before it ends.

What is the technique for this? because the battle race in the tutorial is a piece of cake and this event is much more difficult

Nano Rocket is totally garbage, use Gauss Cannon and Shockwave that are over powered

You can modify a weapon with two slots, however you can select the same upgrade twice (at least it was last time I played).
You can experiment and select any upgrade that causes more damage, and you should be able to more easily get kills that way.

A non-obvious arsenal build that's hard to beat ...

Try Cloak + Teather ...passive sure, but anything that overtakes becomes your own portable shield charger til you deplete them out of the game, which doesn't take much.

And the beauty of alternating to cloak is any player trailing you can't get a lock on ... basically no shields required if you keep cloak going.

TLTR; deplete over taking players while being salt mak'n slippery bastard.
