Don’t Always Follow the Red

When you have Runner Vision activated, you’ll see a red path directing you to your next direction. You’ll also see this during races and delivery missions. However, what the game doesn’t tell you is that the red path isn’t always the most efficient path. It might get you to your destination safely, but you can almost always find an even faster way to get there.

When doing deliveries, follow the path on your first attempt to get a feel for the route, and figure out where the endpoint is. You probably won’t complete the delivery on your first run, but you can start to look for alternative ways of getting to your destination on subsequent runs. The cool thing about these delivery missions is that most of them are designed such that you’ll never be able to get to the endpoint with time to spare. This means that most of the deliveries actually require you to explore and look for better paths.

Even when you’re on the run from enemies, some of them will try to predict your route and head you off. To prevent this, consider ditching the red path from time to time, and look for more efficient routes.
