Redout Tutorial (Take two) 

that was the exact problem when i started the game

Yes, accelerator to the floor! The reason being, your ship's energy will stop recharging if you let up. And you don't want that. Applying the brakes without letting go of the accelerator is the way to go. A lot of the time we don't even brake; the wall-bounce is often faster.

@@MajoradeMayhem thanks

This is because BOOST POWER is the key to going fast in Redout. Asera has an extremely strong boost, which puts it at the top of the pack along with the Sulha. If you look at the time trial leaderboards, you'll see Sulha dominating some tracks and Asera others. If you are not knowledgeable about the tracks and their boost patterns, Asera will not help you - its non-boost speed is pretty poor. Take the ESA or Lunare. Note that the Lunare has pathetic boost power, and is therefore rarely to be seen in the time trial boards. But if you're getting started in the Career, the handling will be far more important to you than which ship is technically fastest of the pack.

ah I see. Thanks for the clarification. Does the boost power stat affect the turbo boost ability?

The term "boost power" might be a bit misleading, as it's pointing to the total energy pool. The bigger the energy pool, the longer you can boost and the more power (speed) you get out the boost. This goes for active powerups too - the time an EMP lasts is longer on ships with bigger pools, and the time it takes to fully drain your energy pool for a turbo boost is longer on ships with bigger energy pools too. This is why Asera is still competitive. It gets up to over 1.8k km/h speeds (compared to roughly 1.1k with Augmented Propeller, and no boost) after some turbo boosts because the turbo effect lasts longer. To add a little bit to the earlier conversation, the max speed stat is perhaps slightly misleading - this is max speed without any form of boost. While Conqueror and Lunare are fast on those, their lack of big energy pools means their speed doesn't get much further past what is listed as their top speed. I hope this helps.

Turbo Boost power basically comes down to the size of the energy pool. For example, Conqueror has a small energy pool, so a weak Turbo Boost.

The online scene is rather silent most of the time but you can find a LOT of people on discord (specifically PC players, I've only seen a few PS4 players join so far and I can't speak for the console release playerbase). Usually you can find people there to play with. discord.me/redout will send you there.

Look in the video description for the link to the Redout Discord. This is the best place to find a match! Drop a @Matchmaking in the #matchmaking channel to see if anyone is up for a game. We also host the Weekly Wallgrind on Saturday evenings around 8pm (UTC). This is a free-for-all when everyone just piles in. You'll find plenty of Redout multiplayer action if you browse my other videos.

I'm glad to hear it! Have fun racing

I feel the same, the wallbounce thing doesn't entice me to train myself to death

As it stands now, wall bounces appear to be more a hinderance than a boon, they slow you down quite a bit. Seems to be less of a speed penalty to drifting as well.

thanks for your comment i now just have to agree it instead of typing it myself, you're 100% right !

Thank you! Redout is not dead. I recommend you join the Discord server. You can usually find some matchmaking going on there. discord.gg/CCUBDvD

You need to know the tracks well enough to put in a decent Time Trial. Obviously that means memorising the tracks, but it also means knowing their optimal boost pattern and best ship and loadout. For example, Vertigo has the very unusual "meta" of Conqueror MS, with very little room for any Turbo Boost besides the loop at the end. Ghibli is your typical Sulha AP with Turbo Boost at the very start, after the hairpin, and on the big straight. Surface Sprint is also Sulha AP, but the critical ingredient here is knowing knowing the shortcuts - it has three. So you can see, if you don't know this - you are not cooking with fire!

I recommend looking at some videos with the controls visible - Zeph has a couple, I think. I'm personally not especially good at the finer points of cornering.

I'm guessing you're stuck on Spinning Pipe. It's extremely difficult to get a consistent entry off the beginning. If you can manage a neat entry at the very first pipe, that's the key to a great run. My friend Blu' is best at this. It's something even the experts struggle at. You also want a lot of speed and confidence for the out-of-water section. You'll be skipping the wall-less corners with a hair's breadth between you and disaster. This section is very doable though (even I can nail it) it just takes familiarity and practice.

Learn the tracks very well and maybe take a Koen with you. Since I made this video, the wall friction / damage has been cranked up. That makes wallbouncing harder to perform and more punishing. The result is that now MS is more competitive. I'm rather out of practice, but you can discuss the meta strategies over the Redout Discord: discord.gg/CCUBDvD I still recommend learning how to confidently handle your craft without MS, because if you get too used to the MS handling, you'll struggle a lot in Pure.

Thanks. It was an absolute pain to render and took x10 times as long as it should. Tutorials are hard!

Tutorials ARE hard, specialy if you do it in 1 go without any cuts. May I ask what recording software you use?

Obsolete but straightfoward Movie Maker. It doesn't usually make such a hash of it.

Welcome Trial is one of the very hardest to Platinum. I'm fairly sure Zeph has a video of him doing it, in which case I'd recommend copying his boost strategy.

Ah, well it's not on you-tube as far as I can tell, Thank you for the reply, Majora. There are only FOUR PSN players who've beat 53.629. One of then using a non-upgraded Koenig managed 46.350s MUST be a glitch! No matter what I try, I lose too much speed in turns (what do the rail color changes mean?) to regain it through long boosts. My ship does not seem to respond as well as those I've been watching. I wish the devs had included an advanced tutorial. I strafe like crazy. What do the various noises mean when turning, do you know? I need to give up on this for a while. I can't even beat 55s anymore. PS thank you for your very entertaining race videos and guides!

Here are some vids of Welcome Trial Joltout: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wWjHL5elOxw.html Cow++ does it with all ships: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AiRdlSSJFuo.html And in case you’ve forgotten, you will definitely need a fully upgraded ship. The ship makes a noise when losing traction - that means you've over-steered (it's better to wallbounce). It also makes a "fizzt" when the energy pool is fully recharged. You should be strafing a lot, since you lose less speed with a corrective strafe than normal steer. Cheaters are usually easily identified by having ridiculous times with a non-upgraded ship. Ignore them - or in my case, ram them off the road with glee.

Success!!! switched to two stick control and rubberbanded the accelerator trigger button down. Got the Platinum and more sub 54s runs than I can count. best today is 53.128s Now I'm playing Redout!

Zeph is mah mentor and the real expert round these parts. Make use of him!

Thanks Zeph. I'm still looking for a really in depth tutorial. This game is just too hard for me.

hello from 4 years later, my question is : how to deal with these damn Europa pipes please ?

Hah. Asera is off the top charts and wallgrinding is out. But I ain't doing a third tutorial, lol!

The corners are very blind and require some memorization. It's important to be on the far left during the first pair of chicanes. The big hairpin at the end is tricky.

Hiya! The answer is, less so than before. Redout's latest version has more wall friction, which makes wallbouncing harder and rewards cleaner racing more. The result has been more brakes, more Lunare, and more Magnetic Stabiliser. However knowing how to wallbounce is still an essential skill you won't be avoiding.

They are to the left and right of the ship itself. The green is your hull, the blue is your energy

Thanks ! The layout must be too futuristic for my old eyes !

Repair drone is not nearly as much of a crutch as say Magnetic Stabilizer (in my eyes), as it does not inherently change the way you drive. Besides that it can be a vital powerup for Survival events, especially for people struggling with precision more. As you gain this precision over time though, replacing RD for a more favourable powerup is way easier to do than replacing mS, as your handling is not impacted that much by Repair Drone.

As someone who did mostly pure race for my first 60 hours. Learning all the boost strats at once is very tough. I wouldn't recommend either used as a beginner. HH is better for survival imo. Turbo/HH gives me better times and more reliable survivability over RD/AP. RD uses the boost which really means you are sacrificing the huge time gains from turbo and a large portion of your regular boost. The trade-off for survivability isn't worth the speed loss. On top of that its an active ability. You have to remember to use it. HH just works.

I use an XBox controller, but keyboard is perfectly viable. My friend Cow uses keyboard

Brakes are definitely not a requirement. As mentioned (and I can confirm this), brakes are only really used during races when you are low on hull to the point that you want to avoid blowing up. Shallow waters IS a good example of a track where you might find yourself needing to use brakes, but there's a couple others as well. In the end, low hull management is about clean driving and if you slow yourself down slightly for a longer period, this should be possible too. Keyboard is as mentioned, usable without a doubt. One of the top time trialers for PC goes by the name of Dekaid and is a keyboard player.

It's all five tracks from one arena played as a single track.

Majora de Mayhem have you ever heard of wipeout omega collection!
