**Gameplay Screen**
- The box in the upper middle shows which weapon is equipped with how much
ammo remains to the right.
- The dots over the weapons box show how many weapons are equipped (3 max)
- The radar has red and green dots. The red is enemies and the green is a
selected enemy.
- The box in the lower left corner is a selected enemies health.
- The bar in t he upper right corner is your health.
- When the target reticle (crosshairs) are white your weapon does not track
an enemy. When it is green it will track the enemy.
**Weapons**
-Note- Check cheatcc.com for all the weapons' special moves.
Interceptor Missiles - Uses a combination of optical and heat-seeking
tracking systems. Tracking accuracy depends upon size of target,
Pretty slow and crappy from my experience.
Bulls Eye Rockets - No tracking ability. Pretty powerful and the special
moves are good.
Sky Hammer Mortor - Fires an explosive charge of semi-intelligent matter.
Pretty good. Hard to hit someone unless they have slowed down or
are stuck somewhere. The crater maker special is great!
Bruiser Cannon - Tracking turret. Rotates very slow so don't make quick
moves while trying to shoot. Cow puncher special is very strong.
Roadkill mines - pretty weak but a pain the butt. Bear Hug special can
come in handy but watch out, it can get you too.
Green Crates - Contain a special weapon
Brown Crates - Any weapon, standard or special
**Powerups**
Shield (green diamond) - force field for a limited time.
Radar Jammer (yellow squiggle) - confuses enemy radar and homing dvices for
a limited time.
Weapon upgrade (blue X) - Doubles the damage factor of any standard weapon
for a limited time.
Repair Wrench - partial repair.
**Tips for Combat**
Driving:
- Double tap the gas for faster accelaration.
- Use hand brake for sharp turns at high speeds.
- Use the afterburner special with the missiles to get more air on jumps.
- If the engine stalls press Gas repeatedly until it starts. All in th
timing.
- Upside down? Press D-pad repeatedly to one side to get back over.
Weapons:
- If you are carrying three weapons and you pick up one more your active
weapon will be discarded, prepare!
- Weapons can overheat, don't fire too fast or it won't fire at all.
Targeting:
- By default your radar will attempt to target the enemy directly ahead of
you.
- You can override the selected target by pressing the cycle target button.
Strategy:
- Smaller cars are weaker, but harder to target. Keep moving.
- Larger cars should consider ramming smaller cars.
- If you hit your opponent with two or more weapons simultaneously you get
a "whammy". This causes more damage.
- If a vehicle wrecks it will stall before it blows up. Hit it with a
special move or secret weapon to total it.
**Story in Brief**
It's the time of the oil shortage. Sid Burn has been hired by the Oil
Monopoly Alliance Regime (OMAR). OMAR wants Sid and his "Coyotes" to
push the US economy over the edge. They do this by destroying oil wells
and refineries. Some desperate civilians lead by Convoy, decide to take the
law into their own hands. Thus the "Vigilantes" were born. The US
government was feeling vulnerable and began to develop weapons based on
alien technology at the base Site-4. Sid found out about the wepons and
tried to ambush the base. The Vigilantes showed up and the weponary fell
into both groups' hands.
**Characters and Special Weapons**

Gridlock. It launches a grid of flares that cause engines to stall.

strike an opponent and can stall their vehicle.
