Acceleration
More shove off the line and out of every corner.
Garage & Dirty Tricks
Bolt it on. Drop it behind.
One trophy truck for everybody. What you bolt to it, and what you leave in the road, is up to you.
The speed shop
Six lines, six levels each
Spend your winnings between races in a 3D garage. Try parts before you buy: a ghost of the new part shows on your truck first. Every upgrade is visible on the truck, from wider tyres to raised suspension to armour plates.
Top Speed
Longer legs on the straights.
Tires
More grip, and visibly wider rubber.
Shocks
Softer landings, higher ride, better over the bumps.
Steering
Sharper turn-in for the tight stuff.
Armour
Bolt-on plates that soak up Dirty Tricks and crash damage.
Damage you can see
In the career, hits carry over between races. In the Outlaw League a big enough hit knocks parts clean off your truck, then works on the chassis. Smoke, fire, and a repair bill. Rivals carry their damage too.
Repair one level at a time, or hit REPAIR ALL and try not to look at the price.
Dirty Tricks
Anvils, not guns
Two buttons: a front gadget fired ahead, and a rear drop left behind you. Buy them in the shop or grab them from crates on track. Land a hit and the game makes a meal of it: a freeze-frame, a camera lean, a crowd roar, and a banner on your victim's screen: MUDDED BY CRUZ CONTROL.
Well-placed hits can earn you nitro and cash. Save a charge for the moment it matters.
Rear drops
Oil Slick
Leave a slippery puddle in the racing line. A rival who runs through it loses grip and can spin out.
Loose Tyre
A bouncing tyre left in the road: a real physical obstacle to knock aside.
Mud Bomb
Splatters the windscreen of whoever runs into it, and slows them down a little.
Tack Strip
Flat tyres you can see: wobbly steering and less speed.
Spring Glove
A plate in the dirt that punches a boxing glove up under the next truck.
Front gadgets
Mud Cannon
Hold to charge, then lob a mud ball ahead. A targeting ring helps you line up a rival.
Ram Plough
A short burst of shoving power. The plough stays fitted when equipped; amber beacons at either end flash while it is active, then go dark when the charge ends.
Grapple Hook
Hook the truck ahead, pull yourself into the fight and slingshot past.
Drone Drop
A drone chases down the leader and drops an anvil. Watch for the warning shadow. Tip: brake hard just before it drops and it'll miss.
On track
Grab everything
Cash
$5,000 a pickup, straight into the career wallet.
Nitro
A canister for the boost button. Also earned for hits, big air and passes.
Front crate
Orange, arrow up: a front gadget.
Rear crate
Blue, arrow down: a rear drop.
