Nitro (nitrous oxide) | Basic information NfS Rivals Guide

Nitro helps both with good start and in maintaining high-speed

Whether you decide to play as Racer or Cop, you can count on that nitro will be available for you - sudden increase of the power guaranteed by installation of nitrous oxide. Nitro is available by default in all sport cars and all police vehicles, so you do not have to buy it extra. But it is regenerated in another way:

• If you play as Racer, in order to get nitro bar full, you have to make some dangerous maneuvers like moving against the stream, pass by other cars very closely or use jumps along your way.
• If you play as Cop, it is easier - nitro bar regenerates automatically when you do not use it.

I recommend using nitro at the beginning of each race or chase, especially that other drivers are already racing and first you have to get them. Later during the race, use nitro when driving on straight parts of the roads, so you won't waste it when you have to overcome the tight curve.

Notice - Racers can also rely on turbo, which is one of the pursuit technologies (Pursuit Tech) and works independently from nitro. Description of this technology can be found in the Racer career chapter.
