Detonator

**Detonator** is a game mode that is featured in Split/Second. It is featured in Season Mode and in Quick Play.

## Description

Detonator involves the player racing against the clock on any of the 12 main courses in the game, driving to the the finish line within the time limit.

When on a selected track, a majority of the power plays will be triggered to render a hindrance for the player's progression as they attempt to beat the clock. It is up to the player to dodge the shockwaves and be cautious when route changers are being automatically triggered.

## Gameplay

> *"Drive a lap against the clock. Power plays trigger ahead of you automatically. Dodge obstacles & power plays to beat the target time." -Pre-game description.*

A starting sequence is shown before the player gets to start the event. Once the race starts, a timer will appear on the rear of the car with the player's personal best time on the right corner of the car. If on the bumper cam, the timer will be placed in the middle but the personal best time is located on the right hand side.

    Once a time is beaten, your personal best will change to the time that you have achieved. Your personal best will remain the same if the main time exceeds it. Not only will your final time be posted in the roster after the event is over, but of your friends' times as well on that particular screen.

Your personal best time will also be posted on the Leaderboard Section of the Front End in the "Extras" tab where you can view times that the game clocks by you and of everyone else, including friends, along with the tracks that the game has clocked your time in.

### In Season Mode

In the Season Mode. Detonator is featured across all but two episodes, those being "Splashdown" and "One Last Push". The Season Mode Detonators will put you on higher classed cars to race with and complete the event in the form of vehicle challenges. This can also be viewed as a way to test drive the car before the player can unlock them during their progression in Season Mode. In certain episodes, the said game mode was also implemented as unlockable bonus events after wrecking a certain amount of drivers.

## Trivia

* The timer will only start if the player crosses the start line.
* In the beta version, Detonator was slightly different:
	+ Detonator was called "**Time Trial**".
	+ The timer was positioned on the top of the screen instead of on the bumper of the vehicle.
	+ In Season Mode, you can freely use any car that you have unlocked through Season Mode in Detonator events.
	+ The letter "T" was in place of "TIME" on the bottom right counter and it will change between that and the word "TARGET".
	+ Every single Level One, Level Two power play and shortcuts on every track were automatically triggered and the time values would change every time you would restart in Season Mode.
		- Across both beta and current version, the Cruise Ship in Ferry Wharf, the Listing Ship and Cargo Ship under construction in Dry Docks, the Convention Center Tower in Downtown Central and the Port Bridge are the only route changers to not be triggered in Detonator mode.
