Which DirtBound questions does this wiki answer?
How many cars are in DirtBound?
There are 17 rally cars in the garage, from the Alpine A110 to the Volkswagen Golf, and each one has five liveries. The cars table
lists them in garage order.
What is the best car in DirtBound?
In the build we checked, no car is faster than another. All 17 share one handling model and the same top speed, so pick the one you like. The best car guide
explains how we checked.
Which DirtBound stage length should I start with?
Start with 1 km. The game sets your very first stage to 1 km in the Lowlands for that reason. Move up to 5 or 10 km once you can finish without resets.
Why did my time go up by 5 or 10 seconds?
Being put back on the road adds 5 seconds, whether you pressed R or the game did it for you. Hitting spectators adds 10 seconds. See Stage mode
for the auto reset rules.
What is the secret booster in DirtBound?
Typing the Konami code during a solo race (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A) unlocks a Shift boost. Times driven with it are never saved. The booster guide
has the details.
How do I switch to the chase camera in DirtBound?
Press C during a solo race, or Y on a gamepad. The game switches between the top view and a third person view behind the car. In lobbies it only works when the host sets the camera to Both.
How do I level up a power-up in DirtBound Experimental mode?
Keep it and drive through more item boxes. Each box adds one level, up to 3, and the type stays the same. See the power-ups table
.
Can I make my own tracks in DirtBound?
Yes. The circuit editor
lets you draw a road, shape the ground, build bridges and test the track. Sign in to publish it for other players.
Where are my DirtBound times and circuits saved?
Without an account they stay in your browser’s local storage, so clearing site data deletes them. With a Google sign-in, leaderboard times and published circuits are kept on the game’s server.
Does DirtBound work with a controller?
Yes. The right trigger accelerates, the left trigger brakes, the A button is the handbrake and Start pauses. The game shows a message when it detects a gamepad. See the controls table
.
