HOW TO CONTROL THE CHASE IN LAKESHORE ONLINE

The cops are on the prowl! Find out the best ways to control the chase and reap the rewards in Lakeshore Online.

F1 2021 Header

Roaming the city in Lakeshore Online just got hotter! With cops catching wind of your illicit activities while touring the city with your squad, there’s now more opportunity to toy with the law, build Heat, and generate some serious rewards.

By now you probably know the deal with street racing in Lakeshore. To win big, you gotta take the risks. Put your money where your mouth is and challenge the cops alongside friends to boost your Bank. Get busted and the cops land a nice bonus for their retirement fund. Not only will you lose the money on the line during the chase, but cops won’t hesitate to add an extra slice from your Bank balance for their troubles. Here’s how to avoid that!

Control the chase and build your Heat:

You’ll start your Lakeshore Online session with 0 Heat, allowing you to tear up the city without the cops causing you any problems. Bash a cop to initiate a chase and build your Heat level from there, the longer the chase goes on, the more Heat you’ll generate. Now this is where the fun starts! String the cops along for a fast-paced joyride and watch the rewards counter climb as escaping with high Heat will deliver better rewards.

Word on the street: There’s no need to return to the garage after shaking the cops. Your Heat will reset to 0 once the cops turn their attention elsewhere.

Safety in numbers:

The more friends you have join the chase, the more distractions the cops have to deal with. Have your squad engage with the pursuers and tear up the streets together, with friends taking the attention of the cops away whilst your Heat level and rewards continue to climb! Slalom through the tight city streets, keep your Heat high, and reap the rewards together.

Causing a Heat wave:

Patrol cars in Heat level 1 should be a piece of cake for any of Lakeshore’s street racing community, but as your Heat rises, so does the threat of being Busted! Check out the guide for how to not get busted and brush up on your tactics for each vehicle type, as weaving between AWDs, taking Interceptors off-road, and ducking from Choppers as your Heat grows, still applies in Lakeshore Online. However, now you have the power of your squad. Use your friends as battering rams against weaker vehicles, lead Heavy vehicles away from the chase, and use any means necessary to increase your Heat level and slip away as a team when the rewards are high enough.

Word on the street: The police don’t play. Get caught by the cops and you’ll lose everything you gained during the chase, plus a penalty from your Bank.

Share the spoils:

You get rewards for both escaping a chase, and for assisting your friends getaway. So whether you’re getting the cops off your own tail, or taking the Heat from a homie, there’s always Bank to be made! Just remember, you’ll need to run that Heat level high if you want to make the serious Bank.

Now go tear up the streets and control the chase!
