Making Money In Drift Hunters

The secret to getting money in Drift Hunters is Combos/Multipliers. This is the point where a lot of people make mistake and lose the combos which results in smaller rewards. There is a small math formula for the rewards in Drift Hunters:

Drift Points * Multiplier = Your Reward!

Example: If we make 1,000 drift points in a session but with 10x multiplier, the reward comes out to be 10,000 CR. With enough practice and consistent drifting you can go up to 16x multipliers in this game and get the highest reward. It all depends on your skillset and drifting knowledge.

There's a catch though! You can't drift properly on any surface (Grass/Sand) other than the Road/Asphalt. You do get some drift points on Grass/Sand but it is really low in comparison to Road/Asphalt. Which implies you have to be on the road while drifting or the other surfaces could push you towards a wall/side rail crash. Surprisingly, the game does allow to keep the points even after the crash. Which is really helpful, If you've been drifting for hours and hours to get to the 10,000,000 points. But, you lose the tough to get combos/multipliers in the process.

However, If you master the art of drifting in this game. Then, you're in for luck because earning money in this game is now going to be a breeze.

Now that we have an understand of how the rewarding works in Drift Hunters. Let's discuss in detail what are the best ways to increase the drift points and reward.

Combos and Multipliers

As we discussed earlier in the article. Drift Hunters reward are all based on Combo's and Multiplier's. Making a good initiation of the drift is not enough to get the best reward. However, If you learn to sustain the drift for a long time. You will be able to see some hefty payoff.

The Combos and Multipliers start off at 1x and can go upto 16x depending on your skillset. There are a lot of tracks where you have to drift on a straight road. This is where you can use the switching side to side technique while being on the road. This will help you sustain the drift and also the multiplier. You can follow our tips below to sustain multipliers and increase your rewards.

Secret Super Multiplier - WallTap

The biggest hidden secret to get amazing rewards in the game is the feature called 'WallTap'.This feature is not known to a lot of people. At first we thought it was bug but soon realised it was an amazing way to make great money and points in the game.

It is a tough feature to master but it pays hefty returns. The multiplier starts off at 20x and can go till 60x depending on how long you can be in contact with a wall while drifting. Mastering this technique will be tough but very beneficial if you want to be a Drift King of this game for a long time. This is the fastest way to make money and drift points in this game.

How to Drift in Drift Hunters?

There are 4 steps to achieving a long and rewarding drift in the game.

Step 1: Initiating The Drift: This step involves gaining enough speed by pressing Up Arrow and then pressing either Right or Left arrow to steer it in a direction.

Step 2: Sustaining The Drift: This step involves putting enough throttle and steer control to the car to stay in drifting state. Remember to use Brakes if you accidentally throttle too much.

Step 3: Switching Drift Direction: This step involves transitioning from one direction to another while being in a drifting state. This technique in Japan is called 'Manji'. You can use good amount of throttle in this stage.

Step 4: Exiting The Drift: This step is essential, bring the steer direction of the car to the middle by applying applicable amount of counter-steer towards the direction the car is in. This way you will have complete control over the car after it is done drifting.

Tips to get the best sustainable drift

Slow and steady wins the race

While it might sound boring but slowly building momentum of the car and gently throttling the car around the corners and turns will prove beneficial. You will be able to maintain your control on the car and also sustain the drift multiplier.

Stay on the road

We recommend staying on the road. As it makes the highest drift points and its comparatively easier to drive on roads in the game. If you drive outside of the road, You can expect a crash or a huge slow down of the car due to slippery mechanics in the road. So, try to stay on the road as much as you can.

Switching Side to Side

The best way to build combos in this game is to switch sides as you see the 'Ready For Combo' sign. If you're drifting right switch to left side and vice versa.

This technique of drifting is called 'Manji'. It will help you a lot if you're drifting on a straight road where there is less potential to make a drift. Manji can help you sustain the drift multipliers.

Choosing the right track

Although this depends on how much you've played the game. The whole point is to practice drifting on one track to a point you've mastered every turn and corner. This might take a while depending on your commitment to the game but the returns will be hefty.

You can make good drifts in every track in the game. However, you can maximize your rewards with a track where the roads are not side railed or have a wall.You are free to go off the road and come back again at your will.
