    • Use the F8 key (Console: D-Pad down) to toggle the vehicle selection UI and change vehicles.
      • Upon respawning, your selected vehicle will be spawned.

Race Start

  • Players are spawned in their vehicle as the race countdown begins.
  • You won’t be able to move or attack other players until the race starts.

I'm normally a sweaty duos/squad player with over 4000 hours and after a few fun games with a friend today, I decided to try the racing mode. I GOT HOOKED!

I've been into racing games my whole life and this dedicated racing mode á la PUBG put a big smile on my face!

Would love to see this becoming a permanent "Arcade" mode with more tracks for us.

Hey man, glad that you love it!
