Any% Cop Route

This is the route I've found to be most optimal in my Any% Cop runs, both for saving time and for being able to get more bounty to where we can minimize most of the bounty grinding to a minimum, (which is something you may end up having to do for Car 12).

Route for Tier 1:
- Priority Target
- Just Rampage
- Performance Review
- Highway 5-0
- Leadfoot Lawman
- Thin Blue Finish Line

Route for Tier 2:
- Aggression Check
- Law Of Acceleration
- Sole Suspect
- Doughnut Run
- Ill Legal
- Perp Herder

Route for Tier 3:
- Take Out The Trash
- Clock On
- Pedal Meddler
- Taking Liberties
- Martial Law
- Prosecution Unrest

Route for Tier 4:
- Time Cop
- Takedown Showdown
- Rogue Officers
- Blue Shift
- Extreme Prejudice
(Only if you don't have enough bounty for Car 12) - Repeat Takedown Showdown until Car 12 is unlocked
- The Duel (Cop)

Notes:
- If you feel you're not consistent with getting 3 stars at Aggression Check, you can swap Aggression Check and Law Of Acceleration around, though if you can get 3 stars at Aggression Check a lot of the time, it's not worth it to do this.
- I'd highly recommended that everywhere except Tier 4, keep note of what stage in your current tier is fastest that you can easily get 3 stars on. The reason being if you manage to not have enough bounty to get another car in instances outside of Tier 4, you may be able to bring your run back by doing the fastest available stage for you in your current Tier.

Speedrunning Guide

Spike farm exploit:
The spike farm exploit is a small yet helpful bug. It is done by placing down a spike, killing the opponent then switching direction so the new NPC spawns and hits it as well thus saving a lot of time. At first the exploit will be hard to pull off especially with the weird steering of this game. It will take some time to master and even then RNG might screw you up. It's an important trick nonetheless and its payoff is extremely useful.

Cornering:
The game can really be abused by cutting corners although there is a catch. Some corners look skippable but due to how the game map is made most of them look okay to skip when in fact they are invisible walls. One good thing you can do is practice in quick race and learn their invisible walls. It should be pretty easy to get used to them since most tracks are formed from smaller chucks copied and pasted only in reverse or mirrored.

Experience:
Experience points can be gathered in this game by drifting and doing other activities such as airtime, near misses, etc. Unfortunately it can waste a few when it shows you what achievements you have unlocked but gaining it allows you to unlock new cars.

Drifting:
Drifting is not recommended while speedrunning this game. One huge disadvantage is losing speed. If your steering is too abrupt you might end up drifting and losing speed. One good way to avoid that is hitting a wall or a car from the side thus re-positioning you on track.
