FAQ
Are power-ups permanent?
Some apply instantly and fade, while recovery and respect changes last for the run. Check the effect description before grabbing a temporary boost.
What helps with police pressure?
A Police Bribe clears the current wanted level, while arrest protection only matters when an arrest would otherwise cost weapons or score.
When should I take a Multiplier?
Early, when you have a long scoring route ahead, so the extra value applies to everything that follows.
