The game has many power-ups to enjoy. When you join a map or activity, the loading (Info) screen will provide information about any power-ups that may be available and how they are configured. Power-Ups, sometimes called Supers, can be configured by type, quantity, and length of duration. If a power-up is on permanently it is called an Ability and you will see an infinity symbol (∞) in the Duration (DUR) area of the Power-Up card image.
To hear the in-game power-up sounds, turn On Enable Sounds (Shift+Q > Sounds) and change the volume for Power-Ups as you like. The game has a free Companion App (CoApp) that allows users a keyboard-free experience. With the Companion App, you can steer, shift gears, brake, deploy power-ups, and more through the app.
If you are already in a map or activity, press the ESC key to go to the Info Screen and you will see the Power-Ups available; you may need to scroll down if there are multiple activities (playlist) or many power-ups. Some activities are configured with no power-ups.
For example, it may look like this:
Press the Return To Ride button or the ESC key to resume the activity. Once you are back in the map or activity:
There will be up to 4 Power-Up slots in the Holding Bar at the bottom of the screen and to the right of the gauge. Abilities will not appear in these holding slots.
- A power-up is available to use when it becomes white in the holding slot.
- To deploy the Power-Up, there is a number within the holding slot in the bottom right corner, simply click that number along the top of the keyboard (or in the Companion App).
- If you have the in-game sounds On, you will hear distinct sounds when you deploy a power-up and when it depletes.
- When the Power-Up is initiated, you will see several indicators:
- The Power-Up in the holding slot turns from white to green and burns down.
- After the burn-down is complete, if the power-up is still active, a countdown in that slot will show how many seconds remain until it regenerates.
- An animation will also appear on your avatar on the road.
COMING SOON! When you enter an activity, and there are power-ups, any power-up cards for that activity will pop up on screen during warm up so you can read them. Also, when a player acquires a road power-up, the power-up card will appear for several seconds informing the player what the function is.
