Plan your next GRIP: Combat Racing session
Our independent guide breaks down GRIP’s core systems so you can decide which playstyle fits you best. By comparing vehicle archetypes, track environments, weapon choices, multiplayer structures and VR immersion, you’ll gain a clearer picture of how each element influences the overall experience.
01 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle Archetype Comparison
Create a simple chart listing the 30 vehicles by speed, agility and armament categories. Note which ones feel comfortable in tight Carkour runs versus open‑space deathmatches.
- Experiment with both agile and heavily armed vehicles to discover which style fits your racing strategy.
- Use visual customisation to differentiate your ride in split‑screen matches.
02 / THE GUIDE
Track Surface Familiarisation
Run a quick lap on each of the four planets without weapons. Observe how wall‑riding and ceiling‑driving differ, then rank the planets by difficulty for high‑speed navigation.
- Familiarise yourself with each planet’s visual cues to anticipate surface changes.
- Practice maintaining high speeds on straight sections to maximise momentum for upcoming wall runs.
03 / THE GUIDE
Power‑Up Timing Test
During a practice race, deliberately delay picking up a shield until an opponent fires a missile. Record how the timing affects survival, then adjust your pickup strategy accordingly.
- Combine shield pickups with aggressive weapons to survive sudden attacks.
- Alternate fire modes can be useful for targeting opponents on different planes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Mode Evaluation
Play a short match in each online mode—team race, deathmatch, arena—while noting the impact of teammate coordination versus solo aggression.
- Use the team mode to coordinate weapon usage and block rival racers.
- Try Carkour runs to sharpen reflexes before entering high‑stakes deathmatch arenas.
05 / THE GUIDE
VR Immersion Assessment
Toggle VR on for a single lap, then compare perceived speed and motion sickness levels to a standard monitor playthrough; decide which setting best matches your comfort.
- If you own a VR headset, enable it for the most intense sense of motion.
- Utilise Remote Play Together to let friends join a split‑screen session from another location.
