Future content

## ***THIS PAGE IS FOR CONFIRMED INFORMATION ONLY***

The next update will come most likely around March 16th. It could be a few days earlier or a few days later however.

The Drive Ahead! team hinted over the past few days that the Motordrome arenas will come out soon, along with a few huge changes. While Classic, Aliens, and Halloween Stadiums received some changes, most things stayed the same. The relatively low number of original Motordrome missions and maps (only 5) ensured that a re-do was needed.

Through images, a new stadium with 15 missions was revealed. Also, the Drive Ahead! team recently released a picture of all 6 new maps. Gameplay on two of them was posted earlier.
Samurai

## Description

"With the glory of the sun, I will complete my driving license."

## Appearance

The Samurai helmet resembles the helmets worn by ancient Japanese samurais. The helmet is black, with a black structure protruding from the top, and a small visor letting the eyes see through. The helmet has stripes of iron armor on it, and one of them is also a headband. These are all the same color as the player's team. Descending from the visor is a column of color that is the same as the player's team.
Ghost Dragon

## Overview

Ghost Dragon is a car released in the Aerial Abomination set of Rift Riders, and is generally accepted as one of the best cars in the game. It can be unlocked during certain Rift Riders events, or bought with Rift Bolts. It can also be obtained through deals that generally cost over $30 USD. It quickly gained popularity as one of the best cars in the game, capable of standing up to Dragon Monster's meta dominance.

## Ghost Dragon

### imagecaption

A blue-cyan or red-pink dragon with arms. A fire animation plays on the dragon's back.

### third

Meta: Generally accepted as one of the best cars in the game.

## Advantages

* **Excellent Defense:** The unusual shape of Ghost Dragon's front makes it difficult to climb, even for Dragon Monster. Paired with a solid back defense, Ghost Dragon can defend itself from multiple directions.
* **Fire Breath:** This is Ghost Dragon's primary advantage over the rest of the cars. Ghost Dragon breathes fire, which covers a wide angle and can phase through other cars. The fire covers enough distance to KO any playable car from the front, most notably including Planet Explorer and Dragon Monster.

## Disadvantages/Weaknesses

* **Thruster Cars:** Cars with thrusters are Ghost Dragon's primary weakness, which can easily climb over its defense and reach the helmet.
* **Bullets:** Ghost Dragon's head, jaw, and neck are made of relatively small objects, allowing bullets to occasionally disfigure it if aimed right. That being said, this weakness is very situational.
* **Higher Level Ghost Dragons:** In Battle Arena, Ghost Dragon has a huge disadvantage if the opposing Ghost Dragon has a higher level, due to its fire ability. This requires the player to either kill the opponent from the back or with Sudden Death.

## Strategy

* **Aim the fire.** While this is common sense, it is important to aim your fire attack, since it is how Ghost Dragon gets most of its kills. Unless you go through the effort of aiming it, smart opponents will be able to dodge it, immediately continuing their rush once it ends.

## Trivia

* Besides Saw Bike and Compensator, no widely accepted counters for Ghost Dragon have been found.
* Ghost Dragon is one of few cars that have an even matchup against Dragon Monster, which is generally accepted as the best car in the game.
Tank

## Description

The **Tank** resembles the stereotypical tank. It has four wheels, (without tire tracks however), has an armored exterior, and is equipped with a main cannon at the top. The player's head sticks out of a hatch at the top of the Tank. The Tank has low speed, and acceleration, and is one of the least agile cars in the game. However, it has medium handling, high durability, and is one of the strongest cars in the game. It's main cannon is also a useful weapon to either hit the opponent with, or to aim and shoot a projectile that can also hit the opponent.

### Pros

* The tank is very hard to defeat
* Driver‘s head is elevated making it hard to be defeated
* Shoots bullets that blast small cars back
* Main gun can be used as a ram

### Cons

* Slow moving
* Very heavy making it an almost instant lose on the map “Swimming Lesson”
* Hard to do stunts because of bulk
* Open to top

### Strategy

If you are looking for a heavy stable vehicle with considerable strength, and have no interest in doing stunts and would rather avoid flips, then the Tank is the vehicle for you. It's lack of traction and weak engine are sometimes frustrating, but the Tank makes up for it in other ways. The Tank is also the strongest of the Shooting vehicles, and is the most durable out of the four. It's cannon juts out and provides it a jousting advantage found only in a select few cars such as the Horse and Forklift. The Tank is also considerably difficult to kill, as not many vehicles can pull off the stunts required to land on its head. Most of the ways to kill it require taking advantage of its non existent agility and to lure it into a trap from which it can't escape. The Tank appears to have many disadvantages when first played, but it relies on its ability to kill fast to dominate the playing field. Overall, the Tank is an excellent vehicle, and Drive Ahead players hold it in high regard, as it appears as the #1 vehicle on many players' lists and holds high positions in many others.

## Trivia

* The Tank, Monster Truck, and Steamroller are all featured in the mission Flawless Goliath, and are the opponents in the mission David and Goliath.
* The Tank is the only vehicle that was already released to gain a shooting ability after Version 1.8.
* Curiously, the Tank doesn't have tire tracks. It's possible that the developers didn't know how to create tire tracks when the game was released, and only developed the technology later with the Snowmobile. It seems they forgot to add tire tracks when they added a shooting function.
* The Tank had the most wheels in the game, at four wheels. Now it is beaten by the Christmas Tree at six wheels, the Tanker Truck at five wheels, the Pain train at five wheels, the Snowcat at five wheels and it is equalized by the Snowball Cannon and Santa's Sleigh, all at four wheels.
* The Tank is one of two vehicles featured in the mission "Mars Attacks", along with the Humvee.
* The Tank is one of the featured vehicles used in the mission "Alien Overlord" along with the Humvee, Army Bike, and Monster Cannon. Out of the four, it is generally the best vehicle to use due to its strength and durability, and its reliability.
Quad Bike

The Quad Bike is a vehicle in the game Drive Ahead. The Quad Bike came out in the game's first major update, along with the Rickshaw, Forklift, Ice Cream Van, Hog, Motorbike, Bumper Car, and Hearse. The Quad Bike resembles the real world vehicle of the same name, however, it is far shorter.

The vehicle is not terribly bad, but does not have many advantages, as it is easy to flip over and die, and the player is left quite unprotected from attack. However, if balance can be maintained, the vehicle has high speed and good agility and aerobics.

## Pros

* Fast
* Good at doing stunts.
* Strong.

## Cons

* Small
* Hard to control
* Will flip over a lot

Upon contact with a vehicle, another object or if it's hit by a laser or bullet, the Mine will begin to flash red. After two seconds, it explodes, and nearby vehicles and objects will be pushed away due to the explosion.

* The person at the back can affect your driving skills

## Trivia

* Inside the back of the Ambulance is a patient on a stretcher. This patient often falls out of the Ambulance during a match.
* The Plus Sign on the back is a reference to the American Red Cross, a non-profit organization that works to helping people affected by disaster or disease.

Game Modes

*Not to be confused with Events such as Boss Hunt and Rift Riders.*

Game modes are different ways a player can play a game in Drive Ahead!. Currently Drive Ahead! has three basic game modes (four if you count 2P) available: Classic, Mission and King of the Hill. All are available in 1P (single-player), however Classic is in both 1P and 2P.

## Battle

This Battle mode is like the classic mode. But you have to make a team with 3 vehicles. When you start play, you will compete another player that is real. Instead of just one hit, you need to hit their head until the health bar go to 0. You need to get 3 points to be the winner. After win, it will reward you 50 tokens and trophies. But if you lose, you can only get 10 tokens and your trophies will decrease only if your vehicles are not level 1.

## Classic

Classic is the only mode that is available in both 1P (single-player) and 2P (two player). Classic is a 1v1 match between a player and another player or a CPU (computer programmer unit).Once selected, you can select your vehicles/helmets and then you can select the map. On the left side of the screen is blue and on the right is red. Once ready, a player must hit the other player in the head to earn a point. The first to five points is the winner. When a short period of time has passed but no one has hit the other's head, a 5 seconds countdown will begin, once it has ended,a sudden death will begin. A sudden death match is where a certain obstacle (varies between maps) will slowly cover the whole map until one driver remains.

This game mode is the only mode that can be play without wifi.

## Mission

Mission mode gives specific challenges for the player to complete under specified conditions, with a reward of coins if completed. Mission mode is the only mode which doesn't allow the player to view the vehicle select screen regardless of the mission.

## King of the Hill

King of the Hill acts similar to a survival mode, the player must defeat as many opponents as they can before they are defeated. Opponents spawn after certain time periods, with a maximum of three opponents on the field at a time.
Sudden death matches occur quicker in King of the Hill but can be delayed when an opponent is defeated.
Gray

The Gray helmet resembles an alien from various media, such as those rumored to have been found nearby Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. The helmet is gray, with a large bulbous head. The eyes are towards the bottom front corner of the helmet, and are the same color as the player's team, surrounded by black eyebrows.
Lungs

## Description

"Lungs" was the name of a Motordrome map added in the Version 1.12 update. You are trapped inside an enclosed ball with spikes on the outside that spins in a pit of acid instead of water.

## Sudden Death

During sudden death, the acid at the bottom starts to rise, while the ball still spins.

## Trivia

* The shape of the **Lungs** map resembles two human lungs.
* Rather curiously, the first Motordome map, **Lungs**, has two main sections, Sawmill has three, and the third map Clover has four. This pattern did not follow with the maps Storeys and Rift.

Dragon

video File:Placeholder

Floating

Floating is a property many cars in the game have. Floating cars will float in water or lava, causing them to be safe in it and heavily dropping their chances of dying. It is possible to move while in the fluid, although it is done more slowly. Landing in the water with too much force can sometimes cause the car to go under the lava/water before resurfacing, in which case the player might still die.

Vehicles with Floating: All boats, Piranha, Sharkmobile, etc. Hovercar and Crystallizer have the special property of losing no speed when travelling on top of the fluids, since they never actually touch them.

**Strategy:**

Floating is an easy way to keep yourself from dying in some stages like Swimming Lesson. Aside from that, it also has its value in any Sudden Death scenario with rising water/lava, considering the player is able to play defensively. It also has the use of hiding in harder-to-reach places. It is hard to die when floating in fluids and taking part in a boat battle, since the player has no way of gaining any height and landing on top of the opposing vehicle.

In most cases, however, bodies of water will be found near spike walls or in confined spaces, so the opponent can still easily reach a vehicle trying to float to escape them.
Toucan

## Appearance

The Toucan helmet has a white neck, which leads to a head surrounded by black, with an inside area colored the player's team alongside a black eye.

Attempt to position your head out of the bikes path, as it can easily steal precious health by boosting from nowhere.

## Trivia

This chain will pass through anything and cannot be stopped. This does not work on vehicles such as the Hovercar, which have no wheels.
