🚔 How Most Wanted Works
Chase / heat product on Shutoko — a community collab with Team Notorious. This is not a Drift server and not a normal SRP overtake lobby. Live server (one) • Notorious x HammerTime SRP Most Wanted (No Hesi training grounds) • 194.156.90.234:1083 • Content Manager uses the Notorious banner (cyan/magenta), not the HT Starting Soon art • Cars: same Kunos base list as SRP Event — no extra CM install • The old Kunos DLC Most Wanted clone is retired (that port is now Drift Brooklyn Park) HUD is Noto 8 wine / crimson (flame PTS, 😈 coin). Gold fleet chrome and the Drift chain plate are off here. Metro Crown badge is off so it does not cover the star plate. *Full leave + rejoin after a chase/HUD update. Menu reconnect is not enough.*
Part 1 — Join and the how-to popup
Join 1. Content Manager → search Most Wanted or Notorious 2. Or hammertime.gg Most Wanted / Discord Servers → Community Collabs 3. Pick a driveable Kunos seat On join: HOW MOST WANTED WORKS shows before MODE — Notorious banner, four cards (stars / cops / busted / escape), enlarged (~92% of the screen, two columns). CONTINUE opens MODE. Once per join. The fleet WHAT’S NEW popup still follows. Crew: join [NTS] Notorious from SOCIAL → TEAMS (instant) or Discord TEAMS (leader accepts). Not required to chase. Idle traffic stays on the SRP Event spline. Extra turbo on NA cars is retired — native turbo cars are unchanged.
Part 2 — Wanted stars and heat level
A 5-star meter sits above the lap timer. Stars go up while cops have you and you are moving. Sitting still (pits or anywhere) does not fill heat — you cannot farm stars by parking next to police. Starting a chase • Speeding alone barely does anything • A cop pass at speed fills the plate quickly on every heat level • You do not need to crawl next to police • Once the 5-star chase has started, that burst stops — putting real distance on them at speed actually drops stars Cooling • Stars drop when cops lose visual • Slowing under about 110 kph cools faster • After heat hits CLEAR, a 2 minute cooldown blocks new heat so a chase does not snap straight back on HEAT LV 1–10 Each successful 5-star escape raises heat level: faster fill, harder close, extra units (a fifth interceptor from LV 8), and their cap sits closer to your top speed next chase. If you hit 5 stars while sitting still and were not in an active chase, heat level does not go up when they drive away. A bust (or a 5-star pit forfeit) resets heat level to 1.
Part 3 — How cops chase
Cops spawn behind you, lights on, in traffic. They do not appear in your windshield. Traffic in front of you stays. Movement • They change lanes around traffic instead of sliding through the pack • They ghost through traffic cars (no civilian crash). They never go faster than the heat cap • Cop max speed is per car model — the speed your car actually holds, not a listed brochure number (a Miata that only runs ~180 is not chased at 234) • Heat 1 is two units (lap-setup base difficulty defaults to 50%) • Lift or brake cancels extra-close so they do not glue the instant you let off 5 stars • Police cars do not stop on a clear lane • If they overlap you they drive straight through you = caught • Cop overlap does not take scoring lives. Hearts are traffic / world crashes only. Interceptor contact is chase / bust Holding the speed your car actually reaches still opens a gap even after they get close. They do not teleport back onto your bumper if you outrun them.
Part 4 — Busted vs escape
Busted — only at 5 stars • A cop driving through you is the catch • Cop hit, then you crash into traffic or a wall, also counts • A cop in the next lane does not • You teleport 1 m above the Tatsumi start-line deck and drop onto the highway (not the grass under that road) • Heat level resets to 1 Escape • Hold your real top speed, then open about 60 m at heat 1 (later levels add range), or lose visual another way • Heat cools as soon as they fall off • Hit 5 stars and get away for a payout. Discord ranks lifetime 5-star escapes Teleport to pits while wanted is a forfeit, not an escape. A 5-star bail counts as busted (heat LV1). Lower stars just clear the plate. Score scales with stars (up to ×2.10). Other drivers can hunt you.
Part 5 — Radio, board, and what is off
Crew Chief on this server is chase radio only • you're now the most wanted — once per chase, when you first hit 5 stars • you're safe — after heat stays clear with cops gone • life lost and score-PB 25 / 50 / 75 / new record • Gaps, pace, stages, laps, greet, party, and GPS stay off here • Bottom-left CHIEF ON/OFF still works Discord — HT Most Wanted board (/postmwboard): lifetime 5-star escapes, peak heat LV beside the name, Notorious banner inside the embed. hammertime.gg Most Wanted page has both join buttons and that board. Off here • Drift chain HUD / Drift MODE • Extra turbo overlay on NA cars (retired) • Gold fleet chrome on buttons / lap plate
Part 6 — Tips
Cops glued to my bumper Hold *your* top speed. Lift/brake cancels extra-close. Get out of their lane. I lost a heart when a cop went through me That was an old build. Cop overlap is bust-only now. Full leave + rejoin. I pit-teleported to fake an escape That is a forfeit. 5-star bail = busted.
