This Speed Trial mission has a new twist. Instead of running the course by yourself, you’re under constant attack by enemy vehicles. Fortunately, the Miner ATV is fast enough to stay ahead of them, so don’t let these enemies distract you from the task at hand. There are a total of ten flags you must deliver.
Pay close attention to the upper and lower paths while gathering flags and do your best to avoid inadvertently falling off the upper path. However, such transitions can work in your favor when attempting to reach lower level bases and flags.
Simply jump off the edge of the path to reach the lower level—this saves you a lot of time.
Later in the round, combat may be unavoidable as more and more enemy vehicles fill the map. Still, don’t go out of your way to attack these vehicles. Stay focused on gathering and delivering the flags.
If enemy vehicles pull alongside you or charge directly at you, then by all means open fire with the Miner ATV’s turret, but this is the only weapon at your disposal. There are no offensive pick-ups on this map—only Speed Boost.
Also, look for opportunities to shoot the yellow barrels and crates lining the course, triggering large explosions as enemy vehicles drive past.
