Details

This mechanical marvel turns pursuers into pinballs, using their own momentum against them! The Drop Target deals no damage, but bounces players back and reflects thrown items at extreme speed.

Can be hit three times before disappearing, changing color from green to yellow to red. If it’s still spinning from the last hit, it’ll send the victim even further.

When YOU'VE got it... When THEY'VE got it...
  • Drop Target is one of the rare items that can affect players using Grow or Invincibility. Lay traps for players who are exiting shortcuts or entering Tripwire.
  • The kinetic shock from a Drop Target doesn’t just reflect Jawz—it scrambles their targeting system, forcing them to chase their owner!
  • When thrown forward, the Drop Target turns white, and has reduced power for a short time. When a white Drop Target is hit, it’ll turn green, so lead your shots; don’t let it bounce off someone’s rear bumper and back into you!
  • A defender can’t hold the Drop Target forever, or they’ll slow down. While they’re holding it, you can bump or shoot it to transfer the momentum to their vehicle; look for chances to punt them off course.
  • Listen for the distinct “da-ding” sound on impact; if you hear it in your vicinity, be on the lookout for Drop Targets sliding down slopes or rebounding out of corners.
  • If the Drop Target knocks you into a wall or far off-course, Spin Dash might be a better bet than spending Rings—especially if you’re deep in offroad or near an item set.
