Quick Strategies:

• Whenever using a pursuit breaker, you MUST activate Speedbreaker. This cuts down the cutscene and allows you to notice what is coming up next on the road.
• Always rarely use Pursuit Breakers if you think many cops are following you. If there's a small group, you can try taking them down individually. Make sure to activate your speedbreaker to skip the cutscene.
• In some pursuits, there will be roadblocks and spike strips. Do not run into spike-strips or you will lose your tires and escaping is almost impossible. To avoid spike-strips and take out cop cars, make sure to have Speedbreaker and a fast speed. Use Speedbreaker to make your car more weighty and easily take out cop cars.
• Never use a lower Tier car for higher pursuit levels. It is almost impossible to escape in a pursuit in a lower Tier car.
• If you are caught by the cops, you will need to pay a fine in cash and you will get an impound strike. If you get all 3 impound strikes in a car, you will automatically lose your car. Winning extra impound strikes from Boss Races can help you get to 5 strikes. Each impound strike you receive will make the steering of your car more difficult. If you win get out of jail cards from boss races, use them wisely because you have only 3 of them!
• To reduce the heat on your car, you may try changing the visual or the performance. The other usual way is to pay 1,000 for every Heat Level reduced. If you have Heat Level 5, you need to pay 5,000 (5 times) to reduce to Heat level 1.
• Once you lose sight of the cops, try and find a Hiding Spot to make your Cooldown bar meter filled. This is a good way to keep from letting the cops from locating you.
• The more cars you total, the more heat you get in pursuits, the more bounty you can accumulate. For example, totaling 50 Federal Undercover Pursuit cars from 0 Bounty in a Pursuit could give you about 3,750,000!
