PULLING 180s
Doing a complete reverse of direction is useful in many situations. A 180 is great to just throw off a pursuer as you drive away in the opposite direction. A
180 is especially helpful when ditching the cops while navigating through blocks of heavy traffic. Just be careful that you don't end up smashing into any-
thing as you come out of the 180. Sometimes it's difficult to judge where your particular vehicle will end up if you execute a 180 at extremely high speeds.

DRIFTING THROUGH CORNERS

With the faster cars — meaning Muscle, Sports, Race and most 2-Door and 4-Doors — it’s a heck of a lot easier to drift through street corners rather
than taking the proper racing approach. Drifting is sort of a fancy word for controlled oversteer. It’s a driving style distinguished by oversteering into
and completely through the corners.
To execute a drift, just steer your car into a corner early and wait for the weight to transfer before countersteering out of the turn. It’s quite easy to do,

VEHICLE MASS
The mass of your vehicle has a lot to do with how effective your offensive driving is. If you’re trying to smash people off the road using a racer that
weighs only 900 kg, it’s going to be difficult, for example. You’d be much better off using a bruiser that weighed 4,000 kg.
Make sure you reference our vehicle section, and try to recognize patterns as to what types of vehicles are better for combat and what types are better
for just plain outrunning your enemies. The chart below is meant to be a general guide only, since there are exceptions in each category.

STEALING CARS DURING MISSIONS

Since you can fail a mission as many times as you want with no repercussions, sometimes it's a good idea to steal and store a particular rare vehicle
that can only be obtained during a specific mission. Storing the Rosalita Racer is a good example, and it's not all that difficult once you understand the
layout of the mission.
Just be aware of each mission and what (if any) rare vehicles appear. If you happen to miss the particular vehicle from your garage, you might as well
steal and store the car and then restart the mission with the intention of completing it.
MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES
Although most of the game is spent behind the wheel, the time that you do spend out of the car is usually quite important. This section cov-
ers movement tactics, how to effectively heal TK, the rules of engagement and advanced weapons training.
HANDLING WEAPONS
During the course of the game you’ll pick up many different types of weapons. This section details some of the tips and tricks you’ll need to handle
them effectively. If you’re looking for more detailed information, check out our Weapon Appendix. It goes into extreme technical detail for each of the
14 weapons available in the game.
Choosing the Right Weapon

There are four types of weapons:
Short-Range Short-Range Assault Long-Range Assault Explosive

TM
Most encounters occur at short-range, so anything from any of the first

three categories works well. If anything presents itself as a long-range
encounter, stay away from shotguns and submachine guns with limited
range. You should stick to long range assault weapons for those
encounters. Explosives are used for special purposes, like blowing up
an entire room or stationary vehicle. BASIC

hits is more of a stroke of luck rather than technique.
RELOCATING FROM GARAGE TO GARAGE

If you ever need to move from one quadrant of the map to another, don't forget about the handy "Relocate" feature built-in to each of the three Ray's
Garage locations. By driving into the garage and selecting this option you can instantly warp from one garage location to another, saving you bundles of
travel time while completely avoiding the police. As you progress further into the game you'll also be able to use your Safe House as a selectable location.
HEALTH PACKS
The only way to heal TK when you take damage is to find a Health Pack. Your primary source for Health Packs is one of the three garages. Luckily,
they’re placed in three strategic locations throughout the city so you’re almost always within a hop, skip and a jump from one of them.
Your only other dependable source for Health Packs is your Safe House, which becomes available after completing all of Repoman, Last Chance and
Breadrun. It’s centrally located near the heart of downtown Manhattan, so this is a good place to stop if you’re in the area and need health.
Driving
Techniques Occasionally, a job will have Health Packs placed in certain strategic areas. Inside the prison facility during “Jail Break” is a great example.

SIDE JOBS
Side jobs are available after you start the “Pay Ray” story job, and they pop up at different times and places throughout the game. Side jobs
are either viewable or hidden. Viewable means that the job appears on the map with an actual pinpoint mark and name. Secret jobs don’t
show up on the map, but appear when you stumble across them driving around town. As you’d expect, secret jobs are a lot tougher to find.

The magnum packs a lot of punch — almost as much as the Shotgun at close range — plus it has the
advantage of triple the effective range. However, the rate of fire is the slowest of all small arms

LOCATION(S)
• Stolen from a cop
Slow to fire and even slower to reload, the Shotgun looks useless on paper, but in reality, proves much
more useful. During intense close-range gun battles, nothing can match the Shotgun’s stopping power. It
cuts through wave after wave of personnel with ease because of its nice spread pattern. Like any shot-
gun, though, the disadvantage is that it’s only useful from 20 meters or under.
GRENADE LAUNCHER
Range (Meters): 50
Damage: Very High
LOCATION(S)
• Ransom back of truck segment
The Grenade Launcher is a special-purpose weapon designed for use against either vehicles or large
placements of enemies. Using it against a single enemy is difficult. The rounds don’t detonate on impact
but rather after a set period of time (three to four seconds), so timing an explosion is difficult unless
you’re aiming at a set area. The Grenade Launcher is both a room-clearer and a vehicle destroyer.

Tailgate job.
The Gangster is a more powerful “magnum” version of the standard pistol. It has a reduced rate of fire
and capacity, but the effective range is exactly the same. If you land a few solid hits with the Gangster,
unlike the Pistol, your target is sure to stay down for the count.
F70

LOCATION(S)
Tailgate job.
The F70 rips along with an extremely high rate of fire and a ridiculous maximum ammo capacity. As you’d
expect, ammo can get expensive — especially if you fill all the way up. The effective range of the F70 is
quite limited, so try to use this for close- to medium-range encounters only.

The Aust Pup is a bullpup design that makes the weapon more compact and easier to handle than a stan-

this is a great gun to use.

The auto-shotgun is faster than the standard “Then” pump model, but it’s still slower than most other

the standard shotgun, it has “spray” where one round can actually hit multiple targets.

DITCHING THE COPS

• The easiest way to ditch the first cop is to simply run him into oncoming traffic. This is accomplished by passing as close to an oncoming
car as you can. If you swerve with the correct motion, you’ll get the AI to pop right into the car and you’ll be in the clear.
• If you’re having trouble with the above method, you can attempt to outrun the police altogether by just speeding down the street as fast as BASIC
possible. If you follow Central Park West, you’ll have no problem building up enough speed to get away. TRAINING
• Once you get the “You’ve lost the cops.” Message on your HUD, they’ll no longer follow you. Just watch your minimap for any other police WEAPONS

by three of his men armed with minimap detectors at various points throughout the city. He wants you to hit the first point at 60, the second point at 70
and the third and final point at 100.

5 The last checkpoint is all the way up the same street, beyond the
chicane in the center of the Bronx. You’ll need to build up speed a lot
sooner for this checkpoint than you did for the previous two. It’s a
long straight section, so just keep your car from hitting anything near
the checkpoint itself and you’ll be fine. Remember, if you hit some-
thing and your speed drops below 100, just turn around and take
another run at it.
DITCHING THE COPS

• If you attract the attention of the police at any point throughout the mission, make sure you lose them before attempting to cross the vari-
ous minimap detectors. Cops make it difficult to obtain the speed necessary to pass Slink’s little test, so it’s best to ditch them on the var-
ious side streets before going for the goal.
• Use the standard methods to get rid of the police as highlighted in our general techniques section. Try not to trash the ride as you ditch the
police though—this mission requires you to stay in this vehicle until the end. If you wreck it, you fail.
Once you’ve passed all three markers at the speeds required by Slink, the mission is complete and he gives you the Andec as a reward. However if you
harm any of Slink’s goons you will fail!

OBJECTIVE 1: LEARN TO LOCK-ON

Once inside, Slink gives you a Standard Revolver and asks you to fire at a series of barrels lined up against the rear wall of the warehouse. Use the
buttons shown in the tutorial to lock on to each of the barrels with the corresponding arrows and take them out one by one. After you’ve shot all five
barrels move on to the next room with Slink to get your next objective. There is a penalty for hitting the wrong barrel 3 times.
OBJECTIVE 2: STUDY STRAFING

The objective here is to circle the car and cover it with bullets by holding the L1 key to strafe into position. It’s a fairly easy task, and like the first
objective. Note that there is a penalty for losing the lock 3 times. Get a feel for the controls and how strafing works. The task is complete once you’ve
hit all four sides of the car with a few shots from the pistol.
OBJECTIVE 3: PRACTICE MARKSMANSHIP

In the next room is yet another car, but this time you’ll be using the R2 button to go into precise aiming mode. The object is to take out the tires. Once
you do so, Slink will give you the command to waste the car before leaving the building. Give it a few shots to the engine bay and you’re good to go.
TM
OBJECTIVE 4: MASTER DRIVING AND SHOOTING

This mission goes from ridiculously easy (the first three objectives) to straight up tough with this final objective. The trick here is to keep your sub-
ject in view at all times. If at any point his car moves off your minimap screen, you’ll fail the mission because they consider it an escape, and the
driver gets away.
BASIC
The driver’s route is completely random. If you slam him—you’ll get a few chances before you are disqualified for it—it’s possible he’ll take a different TRAINING

OBJECTIVE 1: STEAL THE GANG CAR

Your first objective is to steal the gang car and back it out of the parking lot. It’s unattended, so you can just walk right up and jack it. Once you’re
rolling, drive the car southwest and take the first hard right you see.
OBJECTIVE 2: GET SOME HEAT

Attracting the attention of the police – or “getting heat” – is a simple task. You can hit pedestrians, vehicles, light poles or anything that takes damage.
Just make sure you do it in front of a cop to set off their alarm. Once your Minimap shows you have a tail, ditch the cops as fast as possible.
OBJECTIVE 3: LOSE THE COPS

The first two objectives happen in a matter of seconds, but this third objective is the bulk of the mission. The idea is to have a good route planned ahead
of time, with secondary routes built into your plan in case a second cop drives into the situation.
Our yellow paths above represent an area for you to stay within, including several alleys, which can be used for last minute reversals.
Use all the standard tactics when trying to lose the police. Getting them to drive into oncoming traffic by using the wrong side of the street is the most
effective choice because of the heavy traffic in this part of Queens.
OBJECTIVE 4: LOSE THE COPS

When you’ve lost the cops by either outrunning them or making them wreck, drive back to the starting position and park the car where you originally
found it. Quickly get out and run to a safe position to complete the mission.
After you’ve completed this mission, Slink will introduce you to the Mexican, who will open up a series of new missions. The missions that open are

First and foremost, we recommend using a car that has Bulletproof Glass and Bulletproof Tires for this mission. Not only does it keep you from wreck-

Once you’ve selected your vehicle, drive down to the south side of Harlem, and stop at the Funky Rabbit to get your mission from Slink.

This mission begins in the historic downtown area of New Jersey, just northwest of the Holland Tunnel. You’ll need to show up on a motorcycle for the mis-
sion to initiate, so make sure you grab one before heading over. (The easiest place to find a motorcycle on short notice is near the start point.)
Once you meet the Mexican at the start line, he’ll lay out the rules for the race. The first one to reach the finish line without using weapons wins his BASIC

There is no time limit, but rather three opponents in decked out racers who want to get to Rosalita before you do.

OBJECTIVE 3: BRING HER BACK
THEN
Once you’re driving Rosalita, this objective turns into a salvage mis-
sion, and your goal changes slightly. Since the rest of the competitors NOW
want the car as bad as you, they’ll stop at nothing to get it, including
destroying Rosalita in the process. The object is to get back to the SECRETS
original starting point without totally wrecking the car. The damage & CHEATS
meter located on the upper right corner of the screen will help you
keep an eye on your progress.
The best route is to follow our path (as illustrated on the map), and
get back on I-278 heading north. The highway is much wider than the
standard streets, giving you more room to make adjustments as you
reach higher speeds. Remember, the object is to avoid the other com-
petitors, the police and the innocent commuters populating the
streets.
There are only a few types of damage that you’ll encounter, so below
is a small chart detailing the various percentages each type of inci-
dent will hurt you overall. Based on these percentages, you should be
able to judge about how many collisions you can have on your way
back without wrecking.

This race is only three laps, but it takes place on a longer and much faster track. Because of the length of this track, the strategy differs a bit from

This mission is a set up to scare as much info out of this prison guard as possible. Once you’re in the car with him, you’ll see his “Fear” meter in the
upper left-hand corner of the screen. The object here is to drive as crazy as you can without actually destroying the vehicle. There are a few ways to add
fear to his meter, but the following two are the most effective.

OBJECTIVE 1: GET OUT OF THERE!

After the FMV you’ll realize that yes, you’ve driven into a trap. The most effective way to get out — since we told you to bring a car with bulletproof tires
and glass — is to simply pull a 180 and charge right through their roadblocks. If done correctly and with swiftness, you’ll take some damage, but not
enough to ruin your chance of success.

OBJECTIVE 2: LOSE THE TAIL

Once you’re through the second roadblock, get on the throttle and put some distance between your car and the ambush area. When you arrive in an area
with heavy traffic — a perfect zone for a shootout — slide your car sideways and get out. Duck alongside it, and get your weapons ready for battle.
Whoever was following you will pull up in front and charge immediately, so just let your machineguns rip and take them out as fast as possible. Of
course, you can use the RPG for a quick and easy slaughter, if you don’t mind the civilian collateral damage.
Once you kill the last of the thugs, the mission is complete, and you’ll have access to the SF10.

OBJECTIVE 1: PROTECT MARIA

1 Maria will be in a Schweizer, so it’s up to you to stay close to her and
keep the various roadblocks from taking her out. Each of the yellow
dots (on the map above) is a roadblock where a shootout takes place.

VEHICLES
THEN
NOW
SECRETS
& CHEATS
2 To take them out without Maria taking too much damage, slide your
car in sideways in front of her car. This blocks their line of sight and
forces them to move around to the side instead of just unloading
straight on. You shouldn’t have to get out of the car to eliminate
them. Just use the F70 from your window and unload in short bursts,
making sure to focus on the thugs and not the cars. Maria will give
the all-clear signal as soon as the thugs are dead, regardless if the
trucks are still there or not.
OBJECTIVE 2: MAKE SURE SHE GETS TO THE DROP POINT

Objective two is really just a part of the first objective, seeing that you
have to protect Maria for the duration of the mission.
By the time you hit the third or fourth roadblock, though, Maria’s car
should be pretty beat up. When her driver is killed, hop out of your vehi-
cle, finish off the thugs on foot and drive Maria to her drop point using
her car. If you pick up a tail —meaning the police — make sure you ditch
them before approaching the drop point. You won’t be able to complete
the mission if you have heat.
Once you drive into the yellow circle at the drop point, the mission is
complete. You’ll gain access to the Aust Pup by completing this mission.

OBJECTIVE 1: CATCH THE REAL COURIER

Immediately after initiating the mission, four couriers driving Kramers will scatter in four different directions. The object is to find the one carrying the
drugs in less than nine minutes. Of course, the real courier just so happens to be the last one you destroy, regardless of what order you track them
down. Nine minutes isn’t a lot of time considering all four couriers split up and drive in opposite directions. They don’t stop moving for the duration of
the mission, so the faster you get the first few couriers out of the way, the less distance you’ll have to travel to get the last two. BASIC
TRAINING
Knowing that you have to destroy all four couriers and search each vehicle before completing the mission, time is of the essence. Expect to spend a
minimum of two minutes per car, with most of that being pursuit time. Once you get a courier in range, it only takes a few shots to get him to stop. WEAPONS
Search the car (by entering it), then immediately get back in your ride and head to the next one.
VEHICLES
We used the “drive for the closest” courier theory, if only because the patterns they drive are so unpredictable. Look at your map, pick the closest
courier and go for him. If another courier crosses your path — although unlikely — take him out as well. THEN

OBJECTIVE 2: STOP HIM FROM DELIVERING THE DRUGS

Once you finally catch up with the last of the four couriers, the objective is to completely take him out. It’s obvious he’s the real courier, so you’ll need
to either fully destroy his car or kill the driver to stop him from delivering the drugs. Since you’ll have so little time, feel free to get close enough to let
an RPG fly. One good shot is enough to stop the last courier dead in his tracks.

another run. BASIC

If you still have thugs on your tail as you pass La Guardia Airport, you can either take the short-cut through the airport park or fight the thugs head
on. If you're going to fight head on, drive into an area with heavy traffic and spin the Boltus to the side perpendicular to the thugs chasing you. Exit
quickly and run to the nearest car to use as cover. It's not a good idea to use the Boltus as cover because it will most likely be destroyed, thereby
failing the mission.
Once you’ve killed the last of the thugs, you can comfortably cruise the Boltus back to Ray’s Garage in La Guardia to complete the mission.

OBJECTIVE 1: KILL BISHOP

This is the closest thing to a “boss battle” you’ll find in Driver: Parallel

RPG. Depending on how good of an aim you are with the launcher,
you’ll most likely need to continually pick up spare rockets through-

gate for easy navigation of his garden area. Just make sure you don’t
get blindsided with a cannon round or it’s pretty much all over.

Once all the guards are dead, you’ll get the message to leave the area. The best way to go about this is to grab
one of the Schweizers and just blast out through the front gate once it opens. The police barricade is pretty
insane — including a chopper — but you should be able to zip past them and lose the tail by cruising down I-95
toward the bridge.
Whatever you do, don’t stop to fight for too long. If you need to launch a grenade to clear a path, by all means do
it. Just make sure you get a move on after doing so.

OBJECTIVE 1: COLLECT THE CAR

Collecting the police car is a matter of driving to the green dot on the

to take out the guard on foot to avoid a felony. The route to the police
headquarters is a short and easy one, taking you south through Soho and BASIC

the right of the parking space. Oh yeah, and have your Shotgun equipped
before you exit the elevator...
OBJECTIVE 3: PLANT THE C4 ON CORRIGAN’S DESK

When you get off the elevator you’ll be inside police headquarters. There’s
no turning back, so just work your way through the various rooms until you
eventually find Corrigan’s office. Make sure you stop and search the rooms
to the side of the building for Health Packs if you get low at any time.
Set the C4 on his desk by using the R3 Button, and you’ll have exactly three
minutes to escape the office, backtracking the same way that you came in.
OBJECTIVE 4: GET OUT OF THERE

The way out is going to be a little tougher than the way in, because the
police have been alerted to your presence for quite some time now.
Expect SWAT team members and police in full riot gear to be guarding the
hallways as you exit. Don’t forget to whip out the RPG to clear hallways
that are totally infested with police. You’re better off spending a few
grenades to guarantee safe passage rather than losing 50 percent of your
life bar. Once you arrive at the elevator, get on and you’ll be transported
back to the parking garage below the building.
OBJECTIVE 5: LOSE ANY PURSUING COPS

Hop in the nearby Teramo and gun it for the door. If you don’t make it
under the various shutters in time, just shoot at the nearby control
panels, and you’ll raise it back up, allowing you to drive through. The
last few rooms full of police can get pretty hectic, so it’s absolutely
imperative that you stay in your car, unless you have to get some
health. The order of operations is: Drive, run over cops and never
look back.
Once you’re clear of the building and you’ve lost the tail, the mission
is complete.

have to chase a helicopter in your car, in full NYC traffic, dur-

because this part of the mission requires you to understand the
core components of navigating the city streets effectively. If
you’re constantly crashing into trees and parked cars, you’re
not going to make much ground on Corrigan.
When you finally do catch up with Corrigan and kill him, the

Bonuses COLLECTION PROCESS
Cheats You only need to collect each Bonus Token once in each era. Once you collect one, it’s added to your total.
TIMING
It doesn’t matter when you collect Bonus Tokens. You can collect them during story missions, during side jobs or even just cruising around.
ERA DISTINCTION
The token count is per era only, meaning you have to collect the required number in each era to receive the related bonus as shown on our chart below.
BONUS TOKENS REWARD CHART

# of Tokens Reward
10 TOKENS +50% health (brings TK’s total to 150)
20 TOKENS Double nitro (raises the cap to 40 seconds of
boost)
30 TOKENS Double ammo capacity (doubles the max capac-
ity for all weapons)
40 TOKENS Armor Plating (doubles the amount of damage
your vehicles can take)
50 TOKENS Free vehicle mods (all vehicle mods are free)
*100 TOKENS Hot Rod (adds the Hot Rod directly to your
garage)
IMPORTANT!
Note that to collect all 100 Bonus Tokens you need
to collect all 50 from “Then”, and subsequently all
50 from “Now.” Only after you collect the last Bonus
Token during the “Now” period will you have access
to the Hot Rod. This is also possible by using the
Era Change option once you’ve completed the game
the first time. If you happened to only pick up 40 of
the 50 Bonus Tokens from the “Then” era your first
time around, just use the Era Change option to go
back and get the ones you missed. Your total will
pick up from where you left off.)
