Motorcycles in Race and GTA Race multiplayer modes are also equipped with nitrous, but are often very risky to use as collisions while riding a nitrous-boasted bike are potentially fatal. Even vehicles like the [[APC]] may also be equipped with nitrous in such races. | ||
When nitrous is ready | Much like in ''[[wp:Need for Speed|Need for Speed]]'' and other similar games, a small tank-shaped bar next to the radar will show the amount of nitrous available, which will regenerate in time. When the nitrous amount reaches over the 45% mark, the player is ready to use the nitrous; in addition a high-pitched humming noise will be heard from the car, along with small orange fumes from the exhaust pipes. The player can continuously use the nitrous until it completely runs out, after which the player must wait until the bar refills to at least the aforementioned 45% to use the nitrous again. Unlike in GTA San Andreas, the nitrous in TBOGT can instantly catapult a vehicle to its top speed (or close to it), and the dramatic boast in speed may be shocking if the player's vehicle is traveling at a lower speed. | ||
Nitrous boasts can also provide players a head start in races; this is accomplished by spinning the car's tires at the starting line (by holding the accelerator and brake/e-brake commands simultaneously), and activating the nitrous and releasing the brakes at the same time when the race starts. If done correctly, the car will attain a massive boast in speed that will easily propel it into 1st place. This trick does not work in APC races. | Nitrous boasts can also provide players a head start in races; this is accomplished by spinning the car's tires at the starting line (by holding the accelerator and brake/e-brake commands simultaneously), and activating the nitrous and releasing the brakes at the same time when the race starts.
