Get out & fight
A firefight must develop from the pursuit, not replace it.
- Pursuit first
- 5 minutes minimum
- Rollover penalty
- 720 minutes on island
Earn the escalation
Chase for at least five minutes before stopping to fight. Robbery demands made from outside a vehicle are punishable. Any police backup joining the fight must have taken part in that pursuit.
Move away from main roads
Choose a secluded alley, backstreet, garage or interior. Main roads and asphalt are not suitable fighting locations.
Special vehicles and rollovers
Domination actions and street robberies allow aircraft and armoured vehicles. Inside domination boundaries, firing from or at them is allowed where possible. If an escaping car overturns or its roof touches the ground, surrender; refusing carries 720 minutes on the island.
A stop is not a shootout
Immediately killing an officer making a routine or suspicion-based approach is RDM.
