How do I drive this forsaken dump truck (Backlash)?
The Blast Corps "Backlash" dump truck is infamous for being difficult to use in the game. Even with the power slide tutorial, I have no idea how to use it. What is the trick for using it effectively? When am I supposed to turn to get the power slide? Should I hit a certain speed or use a certain terrain or is that not necessary? Basically, how do I use this thing?
Best Answer
The sliding can only be done above a certain speed. I've found that grass slows you too much to be able to slide. I think RB is the button to push to begin power-sliding, but I'm not entirely sure as you can slide with the button, as long as you're going fast enough.
One thing that significantly helps is getting the Backlash in the air. Sometimes there's a ditch or rock near a building, run over that right before hitting the building. If you can get that thing in the air, it demolishes buildings easily.
If you're really fed-up with it, there's usually other vehicles you can find on the map. It probably takes too long if you're trying to clear the path, but finding other vehicles can make 100% completing the level much easier.
