Speed Drifters is the new game from Garena, creator of Free Fire Battlegrounds. In this car game, you will compete in 8-player racing and full of action, items and skidding. The game also has many cars and enhancements to be unlocked, so this game will definitely take your time. Check out 8 essential Speed Drifters tips below!
1. Configure the controls as you like
The first step you must take in Speed Drifters is to configure the controls. In the options menu, under "Control", you can customize them to suit your style. If you are playing on a mobile phone or tablet, choose one of the three modes shown in the image. Once selected, press the "Set" button to move or change the position of the buttons. If you play on an emulator, it will also help to set up comfortably, since you will have the important buttons on the screen. Then there are two options that are essential in Speed Drifters: Brake Button and Automatic Mini Boost. You must have the brake button activated, but avoid using it too much in racing. In this game, speed prevails! Auto Mini Boost, turn it off. It is best to learn how to use it manually as this can make you lose control of your car.2. Know the clues and observe the minimap
If you want to be the most successful Speed Drifters runner, take the time to get to know the circuits. There is a good variety of maps, with their different ramps, curves and turbos. You must pay attention to the first times you go through these circuits to improve your time with each lap. When you play a circuit for the first time, look at the minimap a lot. It will tell you when a curve is approaching and where some turbos or obstacles are located on the map. In addition, the minimap is also useful to know at all times the position of the players next to you. If you see an opponent right behind you, you can take the opportunity to block him When repeating the same circuit, look for ways to reduce your lap time. You can always improve the way you take each turn and find out which side of the path you prefer to drive on. There are some places with turbos that are very attractive, but they are not always the best way! You can also see tips for each circuit in the training menu.3. Use mini boosts, nitros and drifts
In the early hours of the game, you can forget to use boosts, nitros and drifts, as you will probably be busy driving, getting used to the controls and avoid hitting walls or opponents. But pay attention soon !! The game offers powerful tools to become victorious in each race, and it is convenient to use them. To start, boosts can be activated on the following occasions:- At the beginning of the race, in the form of an initial impulse;
- When jumping;
- When landing after a jump;
- After a skid;
- Right after another mini turbo, if you're skidding.
- When on a long straight;
- Before, after or between two boosts;
- To regain speed after an accident;
- To jump and reach unreachable places with normal speed.
4. Activate items at the right time
If you like Mario Kart, Crash Team Racing and the like, you'll love Speed Drifters' “Item Solo” and “Team Item” modes. In both you will have the chance to collect items on the track to use both offensively and defensively. Solo mode is a standard race in which everyone plays for themselves. In Team mode, players participate in groups of 3, and the first to finish wins for the entire team. In both modes, we recommend that you look at the section marked on the left, as in the image above. There you will find crucial information about when they attack you or what items your partners have. When you receive an item, do not use it immediately. Sometimes it is better to wait to counterattack. Also wait to use the items at other more favorable times. Some examples are:- Tornado and banana are best used in narrow spaces.
- The thunderstorm is most effective as your position is worse, as it hits all opponents in front of you.
- The shield must be used in reaction, so wait for an attack or pass it on to a partner, if necessary. To do this, all you need to do is drag the shield to the respective player's icon.
5. Play Campaign mode and Training mode
Both modes are accessed from the main menu and are perfect ways to train in Speed Drifters. Both in the campaign and in training, the game will ask you to meet the requirements or use specific techniques to complete the levels 100%. It is worth spending time in the training mode because it will advise you on boosts, nitros and drifts. Even if you have completed these phases, it is useful to return from time to time to practice and master all the techniques. In addition, every time you complete a training, you will receive coupons as a prize. They will help you buy cars. In campaign mode, in addition to gaining experience, coupons and gold, it is the best place to get to know the clues. You can repeat them until you get tired as they are a perfect environment to learn without fear of losing to people.6. Choose your ideal car and upgrade it
There are many cars in Speed Drifters that you can win or buy and none are like the other. So don't choose your cars based on their appearance, but on their unique attributes and characteristics, if you have them. The attributes are as follows:- Collision : it is the collision power of the car. The higher the attribute, the easier it will be to push opponents with conflicts and the harder it will be for them to push you.
- Acceleration : the time it takes for the car to reach maximum speed.
- Tank-N : the maximum speed granted by nitro and its duration. The higher, the more powerful the nitro will be.
- Curve : it is the ease of turning with the vehicle without skidding. The higher, the more control you will have when cornering
- Propellant : is the maximum speed without boosts or nitros. The higher, the higher the car's natural speed.
- Drift : it is easy to skid with the car. The higher it is, the better it will skid and provide more energy for nitros.
7. Use your skills and train your pets
When you reach level 10 in the Speed Drifters account, you will have access to both your pets and your character's abilities. However, to unlock the skills, you must first obtain the skills in training mode. Once you get the skills and pets, try to spend your money and coupons to improve them. Both will help you with your racing performance, be it increasing your speed, improving boosts, etc. The difference between skills and pets is that the former work as passive improvements to your character. In other words, they are permanent. On the other hand, pets also give you improvements, but with the disadvantage that, for each race, you can only choose a specific pet. There are three ways to equip a pet:- For “Speed” races only.
- Only for the “Item” races.
- For all races.
