Any pictures you see here and text I've written is almost 4 years old so anything in this guide is now outdated. I suggest visiting other guides or looking up a video on YouTube!

Welcome

1. > Gameplay Basics

When you start you get to choose your car, you can choose either a Transportator, a Support or Interceptor. When you choose the car that suits you, you must select a position.
Now you got to be really careful here, if you are a Transportator then always go 1st Position or 3rd Position, if you are a Support then always go 2nd Position and lastly if you are a Interceptor then go 4rth position! There always have to be 2 Transportators to pass each other the bomb when needed, 1 Support to help the Transportators and the Interceptor and 1 Interceptor to protect the Transportators and Support but mainly the Transporter whose holding the bomb!
To pass the bomb to someone simply hold the "Space" bar and the bomb will be launched straight behind you. Keep in mind that if you want to pass to someone then he has to stay right behind you!

1.1 > Upgrading

You start at the beginning with 500 Points which you use to upgrade your car abilities.
You get 2 Points every second and some for getting a car destroyed or scoring a goal.
Never forget to use the Garage to upgrade abilities because upgrading is key to winning!

1.2 > Start of the Round

When you get on the map and get ready to go, try to keep your speed in the green bar so you get a boost at the beginning and straight after you start use your Nitro to get to the middle and grab the bomb.

1.3 > Places to Avoid

• If you've done the Tutorial then you must know that the Red Zones are really bad if you are holding the bomb, try avoiding them because if the bomb gets in there then your car will drop it and the enemy might grab it.

• Don't go into the lava because you will take massive damage and also receive damage overtime for a few seconds after getting out of the lava.

1.4 > Shortcuts

There are shortcuts on the map which you can go through but if you are holding the bomb then they are closed for you with a big yellow wall and you will have to take the long way.

2. > Game Modes

There are 3 types of Game Modes:

• Play - Where you play online with other players.
  
  
• Practice - Either play with your friends, versus computer controlled enemies or just by yourself.
  
  
• Custom Match - Where you create your own game and play with friends.
  
  
• Ranked - Currently unavaible and will probably be released sometime in 2017 but is basically like the Play mode but with ranks.

3. > Classes

There are 3 different Classes:

• The Transporter's main objective is to get the bomb and follow the path until it reaches the enemy's base, when you get to the base you must go through the finish line and you will score a point for your team, 3 Points and you win the game. - The Transporters are really fast and durable but don't have many attacks that are good for a fight.
  
  
• The Support's job is simple, you must heal the Transporter and Interceptor. - The Supports have an average amount of health and their attacks are pretty much just heal spells and stuff like that, also have really good speed too.
  
  
• The Interceptor's job is to protect both the Transporter and Support but mostly the Transporter because if the Transporter fails to score the point, that would be a real disappointment for the Interceptor. - The Interceptors almost always do the most damage in the game, the cons are that they are really slow and have low health.

4. > Maps

There currently is only 1 Map in the game and more are probably going to be added sometime in 2017 when the game is released. Not much to say here. (lol)
