Design risks
| R1 | Compulsion-loop pressure | 0.17 | |
| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.11 | |
The game features frequent and intense vehicular violence, including shooting bystanders and causing 'nasty accidents' with weapons like landmines. While there are no direct monetization risks, the competitive nature of the game and the focus on 'dirty tricks' could potentially lead to minor social comparison risks.
