Drift City/Part Effects

From StrategyWiki, the video game walkthrough and strategy guide wiki

In Drift City, parts can have one or two special effects, which are shown in pink under a part's statistics. These effects are purely random, and it's possible to end up with more than one (even of the same type).

Speed Increase

  • Text: "Increases speed attributes by X points."
  • Range: 2 to 9 points. Lower values are more common than higher values.
  • Note: Speed parts can also have this effect. A +13 speed part with a +2 speed increase effect is the same as a +15 speed part in terms of effectiveness.

Acceleration Increase

  • Text: "Increases acceleration attributes by X points."
  • Range: 2 to 10 points. Lower values are more common than higher values.
  • Note: Acceleration parts can also have this effect. A +13 acceleration part with a +2 acceleration increase effect is the same as a +15 acceleration part in terms of effectiveness.
  • Note: Of the statistic increase effects, this effect is the most valuable. A part with a high value for this effect can sell for several thousand Mito depending on its level.

Durability Increase

  • Text: "Increases durability attributes by X points."
  • Range: 2+ points. Lower values are more common than higher values.
  • Note: Durability parts can also have this effect. A +13 durability part with a +2 durability increase effect is the same as a +15 durability part in terms of effectiveness.
  • Note: Of the statistic increase effects, this effect is the least valuable and does not add to the value of any level of part.

Boost Increase

  • Text: "Increases booster attributes by X points."
  • Range: 2+ points. Lower values are more common than higher values.
  • Note: Boost parts can also have this effect. A +13 boost part with a +2 boost increase effect is the same as a +15 boost part in terms of effectiveness.

Party Durability Increase

  • Text: "Increases durability attributes of all group members by X points."
  • Range: 3 to 6 points.
  • Note: Durability parts can also have this effect. This effect can also stack with the Durability Increase effect.

Parts Drop

  • Text: "Increases chance of parts drop by X%."
  • Range: 3% to 11% Lower values are more common than higher values.
  • Note: This only affects chances to get parts level 1 to 25.
  • Note: Multiple parts with this effect have their percentages added together.

HUV Critical Hit

  • Text: "Improves chances of a critical crash to HUVs by X%."
  • Range: 3% to 9%.
  • Note: This is one of the more valuable effects. A 9% HUV part can sell for several thousand Mito depending on its level.
  • Note: Multiple parts with this effect have their percentages added together.

Speed Loss Reduction

  • Text: "Reduces the amount of speed decreased after a crash by X%."
  • Range: 4% to 8%
  • Note: Multiple parts with this effect have their percentages added together.

No Speed Loss While Boosting

  • Text: "While using the boost, speed will not decrease even after crashing.
  • Note: This is a very rare and valuable part effect.

Added Experience

  • Text: "Increases obtained exp. by X%."
  • Range: 1% to 2%
  • Note: This is a very rare and valuable part effect. These parts can often go for 100,000 Mito or more in the Auction House.
  • Note: Multiple parts with this effect have their percentages added together.

Fuel Capacity

  • Text: "Improves maximum fuel capacity by X%."
  • Range: 1% to 7%.
  • Note: This effect does nothing for improving fuel efficiency. Not worth very much.
  • Note: Multiple parts with this effect have their percentages added together.

Fuel Efficiency

  • Text: "Increases fuel efficiency by X%."
  • Range: 1% to 3%
  • Note: Do not confuse this effect with the Fuel Capacity effect. This effect can help offset the fuel costs of patrols, races, and other long drives.
  • Note: Multiple parts with this effect have their percentages added together.

Booster Time

  • Text: "Increases booster usage time by X seconds."
  • Range: 0.1 seconds to 0.5 seconds in increments of 0.1 seconds. Lower times are much more common than higher times.
  • Note: Multiple parts with this effect have their times added together. Can be very useful in races with a long straightaway.

Max Speed Increase

  • Text: "Increases maximum speed by X mph."
  • Range: 1 to 2 mph
  • Note: This is comparable to the speed stat. This effect is rarely ever seen, even in the Auction House and is more important at higher levels, when the speed stat increases the top speed by much less than before.

Special Super Stop

  • Text: "Special super stop (Drift + Backward Button while driving)"
  • Note: You must have at least one part with this effect equipped in order to use Super Stop.
  • Note: This effect is commonly overpriced. Super Stop only decelerates about 1 second faster than decelerating normally.

Special Turbo Boost

  • Text: "Special turbo launch (Drift + Forward Button while stopped)"
  • Note: You must have at least one part with this effect equipped in order to use Turbo Launch.
  • Note: This effect is very rare and valuable. A level 1 part with this effect can sell for 5000 Mito and a level 55 part with this effect can sell for over 75000 Mito.
  • Note: A high-level part with this effect is one of the few cases when a Mittron Enhancer is worth using on a part to modify it.
