How to play with Ruiner 2000

Of the three cars Ruiner is the one that has more functions. He is able to perform jumps with the L3 to avoid obstacles, overtake opponents or go further on ramps. However, it has an infinite number of parachutes that can be activated with the "X" button on PS4 or "A" on Xbox One.

Tips for racing with Ruiner 2000

The Ruiner's courses usually contain obstacles to jump, which completely prevent progress by making mistakes. Be sure to align the car before the jump so you do not lose control in the air, align it to the landing and be ready to hold "Triangle" (PS4) or "Y" (XOne) to restart your position at the last checkpoint if something wrong.

On the parachute the best tip is do not always use it for the jumps unless it is absolutely necessary. Some of these jumps can be performed without a parachute as long as the car is well aligned with the landing site, otherwise it can explode when it hits the front.

The Ruiner 2000 can withstand some falls in GTA 5 and leave the parachute only for when needed

Once the parachute is opened, it is possible to tilt the car by pressing forward on the analog and thus to change altitude by speed. Just make sure you get to your destination. Another possibility is to discard your current parachute with "X" on PS4 or "A" on Xbox One and then open another one when you are closer to the ground.

How to play with the Rocket Voltic

The special feature of the Rocket is in its own name, a rocket as an engine that can be activated by pressing the L3. This turbocharger ensures extra speed for a few seconds before turning off and being recharged in a few moments. With the extra speed, you can jump farther and walk the walls.

The Rocket Voltic can jump even further with the help of its rocket engine in GTA 5

Rocket Voltic Racing Tips

The biggest problem in racing with Rocket is in the beats, especially at the start. Avoiding the initial crashes when everyone ends up hitting each other is essential to get a good placement right at the beginning. The rest of the time it is always important to use the turbo constantly so as not to let your opponents open up a very big advantage.

A problem that also happens constantly is running on the track, either due to bends or bumps from other vehicles. Watch for fast spin and use a turbo to get out of inertia as quickly as possible. Lastly, be aware of stretches in which the car walks on the walls, as slowing down too much speed will cause it to fall.

How to play with the Aqua Blazer

The Aqua Blazer is the simplest of the three vehicles because its special ability is to simply turn your water mode on or off. Just press L3, click inside the left analog, to switch between your modes, one to walk on land and the other to move through the water.

The key to mastering the Aqua Blazer is to specialize in the timing of its transformation into GTA 5

Tips for racing with the Aqua Blazer

The main trick to master racing with the Aqua Blazer is in the timing of the transformation, something that comes with training. Knowing the exact moment of switching between the land and water modes of the amphibious vehicle makes all the difference to stay ahead in the race.

There is also another point that some players may have problems: the falls of great heights. When skipping under these conditions, try to keep your Aqua Blazer tilted to 45º to minimize the depth that your vehicle will sink and still maintain some speed. Very tight angles make the bike sink too much and lose control when it emerges, while wide open angles lose speed at impact.
