Some bikers have signs above their heads which indicate if they’ll deliver additional health or nitro bonuses. There is also some tactical thought required as different enemies have different weaknesses. It also replenishes your health and builds up your critical attack bar, which gives your attacks an extra boost. Knocking enemies out of commission isn’t just there for the sake of violence, but also allows you to build up your nitro to boosts across the winding tracks.

It’s also not uncommon to find yourself in a pack of bikers who are all swinging for each other, leading to a lot of crashes. Of course, the other bikers aren’t going to take this without fighting back and they fight back hard with the same weapons you have. You can also kick at other bikes to try and push them off the road, or into buildings and oncoming traffic. The melee weapons are what’ll you’ll use the most to reduce the health of fellow riders until they fall off their bikes. Some of these aren’t available straight away but are instead found as pickups on the tracks. Road Redemption arms you with melee weapons such as pipes and shovels, a sword to decapitate riders that aren’t wearing helmets, and a mix of guns and explosives.
