Bolt is an offensive power-up that contains three fast-moving projectiles (indicated on the icon as up-arrows), that are fired individually. Each time a bolt is fired, an arrow from the icon is removed. They can be fired both forwards and backwards, but are "dumb-fire" projectiles; the vehicle's orientation at that moment determines the trajectory of the shot, allowing for shots to be fired where the car is facing, even while in a skid/drift. Each projectile does half a block of damage and causes a car to slow down and swerve slightly. While it's primarily an offensive weapon, it can destroy Mines and shunts with two shots.

Tips[]

Bolt cartoon
  • When firing all your projectiles at once, turn the car slightly. This will fire the shots in a small spread pattern, increasing the chance of hitting a vehicle that is actively swerving or traveling at an angle to you.
  • While Bolt hits only do light damage, they do impart sufficient force on the car to break it loose from the ground. Hitting an opponent in the middle of a cornering maneuver will likely put them into a skid, or cause a drifting car to spin out of control. Take advantage of this and save your Bolt shots for when they will cause the most disruption.
  • Additional fans are awarded for skill shots. This includes any combination of the following:
    • "Fully Bolted" - successfully hitting a single vehicle with every round from a single Bolt powerup (regardless of the powerup's ammo count).
    • "Drift Bolt" - Bolt rounds fired while in a skid/drift.
    • "Reverse Bolt" - Bolt rounds fired behind your car.
    • "Long Shot Bolt" - Bolt rounds that hit an opponent after traveling a set distance.
    • "Air Bolt" - Bolt rounds that are fired while airborne, or that hit an airborne opponent.
    • "Nitro Bolt" - Bolt rounds that hit an opponent while you are using Nitro.
  • It takes 2 Bolt rounds to destroy a Shunt missile.
  • Hitting a Shunt with a single Bolt will cause it to lose power, and only jolt your car upon impact, instead of flipping it
  • It takes 2 Bolt rounds to destroy a Mine.
