Accessing Leaderboards

To check your standing and compare your performance:

1. From the main menu, navigate to the "Progression" tab.
2. Select "Leaderboards".
3. Here, you'll find various categories:
   • Event Leaderboards: Displays rankings for individual events across all sports (Bike, Ski, Snowboard, Wingsuit, Rocketwing). You can filter by sport, event type (e.g., Race, Trick Battle), and even specific events like "Mammoth Mountain Mayhem" or "Grand Teton Descent."
   • Career Leaderboards: Shows overall progression rankings based on accumulated stars and career level.
   • Friends Leaderboards: Compare your scores directly with those on your friends list for any event. This is an excellent way to foster friendly competition and push each other to improve.
   • Mass Race Leaderboards: Tracks your performance in the chaotic Mass Races, including wins, top 3 finishes, and overall participation.
4. When viewing an event leaderboard, you can often select a specific entry to view the replay of that player's run. This is an invaluable tool for learning new lines, trick combos, and optimizing your strategy.

Competitive Play Modes

Beyond individual event leaderboards, Riders Republic features several dedicated competitive modes:

Mass Races

These are the signature competitive events in Riders Republic, throwing 64 players into a single, multi-sport race across the vast open world. Success in Mass Races requires a blend of speed, trick execution, and strategic navigation.

• Frequency: Mass Races typically occur every 30 minutes. You'll receive a notification on your screen when one is about to begin.
• Joining: Simply accept the prompt when it appears. You'll be whisked away to the starting line.
• Strategy:
  • Early Lead: Focus on getting a clean start. Avoid collisions in the initial chaos.
  • Line Choice: Don't just follow the pack. Look for shortcuts, boost pads, and optimal lines that might not be immediately obvious.
  • Trick Segments: Maximize your trick score in designated trick zones to earn valuable boost. Landing clean, high-scoring tricks like a "Triple Backflip" or a "Cork 1080" can make a significant difference.
  • Sport Transitions: Be prepared for rapid sport changes. Practice smooth transitions between Bike, Ski/Snowboard, and Wingsuit/Rocketwing to maintain momentum.
  • Collision Avoidance: While collisions are part of the fun, try to minimize them, especially in tight sections, as they can cost you precious seconds.

Trick Battle Arenas

These 6v6 team-based events focus purely on trick scoring within a dedicated arena. Teams compete to capture and hold trick zones by performing the highest-scoring tricks.

• Objective: Score points for your team by performing tricks within designated zones. The team with the highest score at the end wins.
• Zone Control: Performing tricks in a zone "captures" it for your team, increasing the points multiplier for that zone.
• Teamwork: Coordinate with your team to capture multiple zones simultaneously and defend your captured zones from the opposing team.
• High-Scoring Tricks: Focus on executing complex tricks with good airtime and clean landings. Combine grabs, spins, and flips for maximum points.
• Combo Multipliers: Chain tricks together without bailing to build massive combo multipliers.

Free-for-All

This mode pits 12 players against each other in a series of events, with points awarded based on your performance in each. You with the most points at the end of the series wins.

• Event Variety: Free-for-All rotations include a mix of races and trick events across different sports.
• Consistency is Key: You don't need to win every event, but consistent top-tier performance across all events will secure your overall victory.
• Adaptability: Be prepared to switch between sports and adapt your strategy quickly based on the current event.

Optimizing Your Performance

• Gear Selection: Always use the highest-level gear available for the specific event. For races, prioritize gear with high speed and handling. For trick events, focus on air rotation and trick score multipliers. Legendary gear often provides unique perks that can give you an edge.
• Practice Specific Events: If you're struggling on a particular event, go into Free Roam and practice it repeatedly. Learn the optimal lines, jump points, and trick opportunities.
• Watch Replays: As mentioned, watching replays of top players on the leaderboards is crucial. Pay attention to their lines, when they use boost, and their trick sequences.
• Master Controls: Experiment with both "Steep" and "Riders Republic" control schemes to find what works best for you. Practice manual landings and trick execution until they become second nature.
• Utilize Boost: Learn when and where to effectively use your boost. In races, save it for straightaways or to gain an advantage after a jump. In trick events, use it to get more air for bigger tricks.
