Very basic stuff here, you in your 4L Phoenix can do the same.

S795955 Earthshaking Vs Sabre Dogs Once Upon a Town

I set up on the right edge of my circle in case they spawn front or rear I want to use the buildings to slow them down. I actually come to a stop, if I were to run experiance tells me some of them might pace me on the road and be waiting for me when I come back out to the road. These three vehicles are pushovers, Biter, Buzzsaw and Chaser. There is an entry on the wiki titled NPC Vehicles. Very handy to print out or keep a copy of it handy, you should learn which vehicles are equipped with v8 engines. If you spawn and see a NPC vehicle you can't remember the loadout of, call a timeout and check your list as it may save your gangers life.

Had I pulled a Wardance* it may have been tougher had I not been able to hang it up on the buildings, they are fast even compared to the 3.2lv8, A armored rocket boosted car I was driving. You don't need all the bells and whistles I have, a 4L Phoenix will manage the exact same tactic.

After getting the NPC vehicles suffeciently entangled, I hit the hardtop and boogie off. Simple stuff, you can use similar tactics on other maps.

* I recently did pull a Wardance there and thought I'd just use my speed and maneuvers to lose it, we both made the 90 degree turn at the crossroads at 170 mph. It didn't shake him at all, I had to dive in the gulley and drive slowly out of there to avoid blowing a tire. It was a white knuckle ride.

This map is one of the easiest to escape on. Only issues ive had were when a CGL truck took off my roof armor or the rare and occasional time they don't follow you off the road. Mostly this map is about being patient and confidant. if you try to run, you will get overtaken but if you putt putt along the side in the buildings they will get close but 99% of the time you will then be able to stomp it and get back on the road and leave them behind.

Twice I had to pull a "Spider-Man" and drive down the wall of the huge canyon and flee down the canyon. We should name the Canyon. I Vote "Christy"

Send a personal messsage to Bolt Thrower

If I pull a Wardance on this map and have an extra driver, I will run. It will easily pull away from everything else. Once you isolate it, you need to survive the volley of RL and MML. Then it is done; it has no reloads. Easy 3.2Lv8 and A armored buccy.

It is an easy map to escape on. I've outrun the AI, driving a Wurzel, on that map before!
