Quick Start Guides
Core Controls
Five bullet points to help you hold the racing line from your first match.
- •Move with WASD or the arrow keys; tap Shift or Space to drift for a burst of speed.
- •Roll over mystery crates to get a random weapon instantly—no inventory delays.
- •Rockets auto-track their target, while machine guns need you to maintain aim.
- •After a knockout you respawn in seconds—head for the nearest crate immediately.
Route Planning
Understand map flow so you can control crate timing and pressure points.
- •Release the accelerator before a tight corner, then drift to stay glued to the inside line.
- •Lock in a crate route that lets you chain two or three boxes before looping back to mid.
- •Listen for rocket lock-on audio—duck behind walls or drift sharply to make it miss.
- •In duo chaos, have one driver deny crates while the other holds power weapons.
Troubleshooting
Quick fixes when your browser session isn’t running at full speed.
- •Update Chrome, Edge, or Firefox to the newest version available.
- •Clear cached data and disable conflicting extensions before reloading the game.
- •Close bandwidth-heavy downloads or streams to stabilize your connection.
- •Enable hardware acceleration in browser settings for higher frame rates.
