There doesn’t appear to be any specific distance away that’ll trigger the spider sending a web, so these tips might not work every time. If you’re approaching and the spider shoots a web towards you early, boost and you’ll sail beneath it. Stick to the side of the track (provided already-laid webs aren’t in the way), and the spider may overshoot and miss the track entirely. One of the bigger obstacles you come up against, you can avoid the spider’s web traps if you’re lucky. It’s even worse to know that their hitbox appears to be slightly wider than its model, so if you think you can squeeze between the track wall and a barrier – chances are you won’t. The barriers in Hot Wheels Unleashed can be a bit of a pain. Unlike Mario Kart 8 and Trackmania Turbo’s zero-g surfaces, these won’t keep you pinned to the track if you’re coming up over a hill or suddenly heading downwards. While you do get some amazing gravity-defying moments when driving around on the ceiling, don’t assume that you’re literally going to stick to the track. Magnetic Tracksĭon’t take the silver magnetic tracks for granted. Say you’ve hit a ramp and you’re slightly above it, chances are you’ll still get a boost. Your wheels don’t need to be touching them for them to be activated. One thing to keep in mind with these is the activation hitbox is slightly taller. HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED™_20210927103000 Purple Boost PadsĪlongside the boost recharge and speedy chevron strips on the track, you’ll occasionally come across circular boost pads that provide you with a bit of a kick without using any of your accrued boost. There are a few tracks that expect you to roll 180 degrees to not end up like a turtle on its back, so keep an eye out and react accordingly. In combination with the left stick, you can use the right stick to adjust your roll when in mid-air. When you’ve got said boost under your wing, you can rotate your car mid-air using the left stick, and boost yourself back on track if you’ve misjudged a jump and are about to fall into oblivion. No surprise that Hot Wheels Unleashed has jumps involved. If neither is an option, duck in behind a fellow competitor, stay in their draft and watch your boost gauge increase. No extra speed is gained, unlike the neon green chevrons, but your bar is topped up.
So, sliding around a corner is not only the most fun way around a track, but it also provides boost for the straights. The pads that enhance your boost acquisition are grey emanate electrified blue sparks. You gain boost by drifting, driving over boost top-up strips and slipstreaming. Definitely watch out for the triple loop track in the Garage area later on. Boost on the way up and you should be golden. Sometimes they’re pretty big, and you can stall at the top and fall down.
Plus, make sure you’re keeping some boost on-hand for loops. You’re always gaining it back in some way, shape or form throughout a race, so use it as and when you can. You gain boost slowly by default, but you can speed up the process by drifting, drafting and driving over the grey boost strips.Īn overall rule I’d recommend not sitting on your boost.
HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED PERFECT START FULL
If your vehicle has the boost bar, hold the boost button to drain as much or as little boost as you like, whereas with the pips, tap boost button to drain a pips-worth (no less), or hold down to continue draining however many full pips of you have. The first is the more familiar boost bar, the other is a number of pips. There are two different types of boost cars can have in Hot Wheels Unleashed.
Use it as a brake too, like in most other racing video games, and your lap times will thank you for not going sideways into a wall. There are some pretty nasty tight turns after boost sections or big jumps, so don’t solely treat the brake as a drift button. Don’t be afraid to brake for a corner before swinging your back end out into a drift. However, not every corner can be drifted around at full pelt. Heading into a corner, you can tap the brake to go into a drift, steering as and where to tighten or loosen your turn.
