• Weapon Skins & Vehicle Skins: Players can apply various skins and paint jobs to their DedSec weapons and owned vehicles for further personalization. Unlocked through progression, challenges, or store purchases.

Progression is built around a comprehensive roguelite garage economy. Players accumulate Credits and Scrap from race placements, rival takedowns, and side bets to invest in modular upgrades across five mechanical systems: Repulsor Coils (handling, lateral drift stability, ceiling adhesion), Thruster Manifolds (top speed, acceleration curve, boost efficiency), Hull Plating (impact absorption, ramming mass, EMP deflection), Heat Sinks (cooling dissipation, overcharge threshold), and Combat Hardpoints (countermeasure deployment, seismic mines, disruptor bursts). Over a million distinct configuration permutations let players tailor their craft as light agile speeders or armored battering rams.

Tracks span six distinct, hyper-detailed Star Wars planetary environments designed with dynamic branching paths, hazardous terrain, and verticality. Locales include the rusted industrial scrap shipyards of Corellia, the treacherous crimson salt-flats and crystalline ravines of Crait, the dense canopy and root tunnels of Kashyyyk, the cloud-city atmospheric exhaust pylons of Bespin, the volcanic magma tubes of Sullust, and the neon-lit casino city outskirts and canyon rifts of Canto Bight. Dynamic track events such as seismic sandstorms, falling Imperial wreckage, and native fauna stampedes force pilots to adjust their racing lines in real time.

Features a detailed and faithful recreation of central London, divided into several iconic boroughs like City of Westminster, Camden, Islington & Hackney, Lambeth, Southwark, Tower Hamlets, and City of London.
