Hotwire | Game modes Battlefield Hardline Guide

A pursuit, typical for the Hotwire mode

Hotwire is a mode that relies mostly on car pursuits. It can be compared to a typical Conquest, where the points to seize are cars. To seize a car, you need to simply drive it. You cannot stay put in one spot. If the opposing team destroys the vehicle, it respawns where it used to be at the very beginning. Apart from car-points, on the map there also are regular cars and motorcycles, which you can only use for pursuits.

The rules that govern tickets and the terms of victory are exactly the same as in the case of the abovementioned Conquest.

Useful classes

The most important class here is the Mechanic, who can both repair the allied vehicles and destroy the enemy's. The mechanic can repair a vehicle also in movement, by welding a given part of the vehicle. If there is such a player onboard the vehicle, it is difficult to destroy it.

Hints

In the Hotwire mode, use the regular vehicles for transporting flags, and for Hotwires, only. Remember however, that you will be unable to harm the opponent, if you are on your own. Therefore, take several squad members along. If the player in the passenger seat presses the button for lying down, he leans out of the window thanks to which he will be able to fire at the enemy units.

If you are driving a car that is the checkpoint, stick close to your deployment point and try to stay away from the opponent. Apart from that, you can get more points if you drive in a wavy line. You will be then receiving more points for maneuvering.

Remember to make use of the gadgets that are available for the mechanic, such as the blowtorch, the grenade launcher and sabotage. These are the ideal tools against the enemy vehicles, in this mode.
