How to Lose Police in GTA V: A Comprehensive Guide
What is Radar Overwhelm? Understand the Basics
Before I dive into the strategies below, it’s essential you understand how radar overwhelm worked in GTA V. Back in 2013 for the PC version, RADAR Overwhelm’ was a method that overloaded the game’s radar mechanism, causing police to instantly lose sight of the pursuing player. Unfortunately, Rockstar Games patched this exploit months after the game’s debut. But fear not!" This guide will provide foolproof methods to lose tail in Grand Theft Auto.
I. Avoid Encounters and Drive Carefree
Sometimes, the absence of direct interaction with NPC’s or cops can protect you from being detected.*** Here to avoid situations where you
• Steer clear at night; fewer pedestrians patrol the streets
• Focus on driving fast, quiet, and stable vehicles (e.g., San Andreas Police Cruiser, Bravado Gauntlet, Police Roadster, or Turismo R)
• Rarely drive at high-noise locations, like parking lots, and avoid pedestrians
• Drive on desolate highways instead of active city areas
Fast and Safe Cars for Safe Driving
| Vehicle (Class) | Speed Cap (MPH) | Acceleration (GPS) |
| — | ——> | ——>
| Police Cruiser (-) | (120-140) -> | (very fast, good handling)- |
| Brutus 8x | (150-) -> | **(very fast, good drift) |
| Nightshark | (/) -> | |
| FeltZer | (/2) -> |(fast, average handling 2) |
Method 1: Use Radial Tires and Wide Tires for Better Grips
Some vehicles require radial tires, which drastically improve cornering and thus reduce noise while driving **. The following set of cars benefit from both radial tires and wide low-profile tires.
• Look for the ‘Rad-R’ tire set in Car Customization (eCarros > Suspension > RAD-R Tire)
• Additionally, Wide Tires (+) further improve handling as they also minimize noise created by wheels’ movement
TIP Install Wide Fenders (-) for sleeker and improved aerohysics!
Method III: The Speed Limit Trap
Find speed cameras and take photos to fill your wanted points. Speeding up won’t give away your immediate location
• 1. Spot Speed Cameras before driving at speed
• • Note the Speed Camera’s patrol route; avoid approaching it again.
• 2.Slowly increase speed above the set speed limit: The cops wonot notice, at first.,
- Remember, Speeding up directly after or around the Spot will cause a wanted response.
- Leave the spot quickly, do not return or speed rapidly.
Avoiding Attention
Be cautious navigating through tight areas, heavy traffic, and construction because these may raise suspicion
- A fast, light, or a well handling vehicle does not guarantees escape if you directly engage the cops
Now, there’s a whole lot to explore in LA, don’t get involved in those "pol·ice’ interactions. Have fun cruising!
