Spikestrips

Spike Strips (commonly referred to as “spikes” by the dispatch and the police officers) are sharp, long pieces of blades that will be deployed on the streets by the Eden shores police department at night on heat level 3 and up, and are for the purpose of slowing down a suspect by puncturing their tires, making them spin out of control and their tires go red and make sparks.

Their tires will reinflate within 10 seconds but it will deplete 80% of the player's health, and they also make it easier for the cops to box you in and/or ram you to metal scrap since your speed will also drop dramatically in the process before they reinflate again.

There are auxiliary upgrades that can shorten the intervals between when their tires get hit vs. without since it will shorten the interval when their tires reinflate from 10 seconds to 3, making them able to escape and potentially go to a gas station quick to regain their health quicker.
