Conquer Just Cause 3's Air Races! Learn tips, tricks, and how to unlock every race to achieve 5 gears and dominate the skies.
Alright, let's talk about Air Races in Just Cause 3. These are basically timed challenges where you gotta fly a plane or a chopper through a bunch of glowing rings. Your final score is all about how fast you can nail the course. Think of it as a high-speed obstacle course in the sky!
Tips & Tricks
- For plane races, really get a feel for the rudder. It's your best friend for making those super tight turns without losing speed.
- Seriously, unlock the nitrous mod before you even think about going for 5 gears. It makes a HUGE difference.
- The clock starts the second you hit that first ring. If you can, try to blast through it at full speed right from the get-go. Every split second counts!
- Sometimes, you'll get stuck with a really sluggish plane or helicopter. Don't sweat it! You can actually call in a faster one using the rebel drop *before* you start the race. Just make sure to do it nearby so you can hop in quickly.
