Strategy Guide

Level 1- 1 shot
Shoot the ball in an arc so that it hits the captain and knocks off the crewmate off the barrel. May be hard, but becomes easier with practice.

Level 2- 2 shots

Shoot the Viking on the top of the hill. If done right, the ball could hit the Viking below, knocking him off the dock. Shoot the remaining Viking off the boat.

Level 3- 2 shots
Rockets aren't needed for this level, although they're useful if you miss. Shoot the guys on the boat (Be warned: getting the knockback necessary to knock both off can be tricky). Shoot the last guy on the jetski.

Level 4- 2 shots
Shoot the jetski guy off into the kid on the floatie. Both will die. You can shoot the last kid with a rocket, although you could arc it so the ball bounces off the tree and knocks him off. Can be hard to pull off though. (This method is recommended due to shaving off 3-5 seconds waiting for the bar to deplete.)

Level 5- 1-2 shots
Shoot the guy in the middle. The ball should fall down and knock the lowest guy off. Try to land the next shot in between the last two. The rebound should knock both off.  It's possible to beat this level in one shot with a grenade, but the knockback needed to get the guy in the back makes it unlikely.

Level 6- 2 shots
Aim for the crewmate on the barrel. The knockback should get the other one. Shoot the captain off the mast. Rockets are an alternative if the angle's too hard.

Level 7- 2 shots
Ok, here's where I recommend rockets, since the knockback begins to work against you. Hit the first "savage" off the boat. Use the Rocket to finish the others off.

Level 8- 2 shots
Rockets are needed for this one. Shoot the Viking off the boat, then use the rocket to hit the Viking in the middle. If done right, the patented Raft Wars knockback should kill the others, and the Rocket will one-shot the middle Viking.

Level 9- 3 shots
Rockets could be used due to difficult shots. Hit the jetski, then eliminate the one in the back. Try to get knockback for the two left, although a Rocket could get them easily.

Level 10- 2-3 shots
Rockets could be used, although a Grenade can save you a shot. Hit the jetski, try to knock out the one on top, and arc the last shot to rebound and knock the other two off. A Grenade can be used to hit all three in the back.

Level 11- 1-2 shots
Most players can beat this level with two rockets, although time can be saved by shooting via rebound.


These tricks can save you up to 20-30 seconds if done right.

Variable Distances In Each Level

I just want to leave this here for anyone who wants to attempt to speed run Raft Wars in the future. 

I have noticed a lot of people who feel their shots are not hitting despite using the same angle and power in each level. This is because the distances between you and the enemy in each level are variable and that usually determines how high you need to aim to be able to hit your enemy. 

The strategy to tell where to aim comes in the beginning after you begin the level. When the camera starts moving from the enemy to you, you will see a coconut tree (this is not the coconut tree next to you but the one closer to the enemy). If the distance between the tree and the enemy is close, that means the distance between you and the enemy is close. If the distance between the tree and the enemy is far, that means the distance between you and the enemy is far. Obviously the further you are from the enemy the higher you need to aim to hit them.

Here's an example using two screenshots in level 4 (they are linked in the bottom of this guide). The first picture shows the coconut tree right where the jet ski is. The second picture shows it much further from the jet ski. In the second picture you would need to aim higher than in the first picture as you are further away from the enemy in this scenario.

I hope this helps any future speed runners of Raft Wars! Good luck to everyone! :)
