"You would crash us even if the car wasn't moving" - K05

Multiplayer mode supports co-exploration of the world and racing experiences.

World Exploration

• Daily missions: visit the world of your friend to complete daily missions together. As a guest, you can use all locations in your friend's world as in yours.

Co-op Racing

Team racing

Multiplayer mode allows players to race together on simulation grounds. Player experience differs according to roles of chosen characters.

Important features:

• Each player gets 2 charger slots. Cars are decided jointly:

  • Both players present the car they want to use for the race. One player can abstain.

  • Players vote on the preferred car. In case of a tie, the car is selected randomly.

  • Each player chooses 2 boosters from inventory that will appear in the race.

    • If players choose the same power-up type, the one with stronger parameters wins.

• Rewards are shared equally between both players.

A) Pilot's POV:

1. During the race:

   1. No map access: pilots have no access to maps in multiplayer modes.

   2. Manual driving: drive through the lap, trusting voice or text instructions of your navigator.

   3. Request power-ups: let your navigator know what power-ups you need.

   4. Interact with target items: complete race missions by spotting target items and interacting with them.

2. In Probe Zone: let your navigator take charge in exploring new areas. If your partner does not make progress for 7 seconds, you will have a chance to bring the car back on track.

3. Synthesize: activate your Neo Spirit to strengthen your racing abilities.

B) Navigator's POV:

1. Prior to the race: navigator has access to the 3D-model of the map of the race with 3 general routes to choose from. A navigator has 20 seconds to study the map, during which:

   1. Select route: choose a route most suitable for the car's abilities;

   2. Connect cameras: set up permanent cameras from the inventory to observe the the map;

   3. Choose Probe Zones: select initial zones for self-exploration of shortcuts.

2. During the race:

   1. Main route:

      1. Provide directions: use text pop-ups or connect to the voice chat to send instructions to your pilot, as the only one seeing the map.

      2. Navigate towards boosters: when presented with power-up options, click on the desired icon, considering the request of your pilot.

      3. Assist acceleration and drift: help your driver accelerate by swiping upwards; help your driver drift by swiping downwards.

      4. Interact with target items: disable aggressive targets by clicking on them; complete race missions by spotting target items and interacting with them.

      5. Alter routes: swap locations of available Probe Zones for self-exploring; include discovered shortcuts into the main route or skip them in next laps.

   2. Probe Zone:

      Manual driving: take charge of the wheel and explore suspicious areas. If you fail to make progress within 7 seconds, your driver will be able to take the wheel back.

   3. Synthesize: activate your Neo Spirit skill to strengthen your racing abilities.
