So let’s not waste any time and let’s check out the Asphalt 8: Airborne cheats for the iOS version below!

1. Start by choosing the best control scheme for you
Some love the tilt based gameplay, while others (myself included) hate it. In order to make sure that you’re playing at maximum potential, make sure to check out all the possible control schemes and choose the one that works best for you.

2. Master the Nitro
This one is pretty obvious: Nitro gives you great speed and boosts your vehicle forward. Try to get Nitro whenever possible and only use it when you can fully take advantage of it, usually in straight lines. You’ll be cruising past your competition like the super driver you are!

3. Master the Drifts
Nitro is not everything and drifting is extremely important too! Drifting might be difficult at first, but mastering it is not that complicated, actually.

4. Get Airborne whenever you get the chance
This game doesn’t have “Airborne” in its title for no reason! Therefore, make sure that you do the barrel rolls and get all the air time that you can. As a tip to increase that, use the nitro right before getting on a plarform for that extra speed boost.

5. Stay safe!
You don’t want to lose precious seconds by wrecking your car, so always try to stay safe: learn the tracks, learn the turns, especially those hard to make ones and always keep your car in one piece. It’s better to go slower near obstacles that could wreck your car then collide and waste those precious seconds that will put you behind.

6. Learn the maps
It’s pretty obvious that you won’t be a pro from the beginning, so make sure you keep playing the same maps over and over again, trying to find new routes and getting used with the tracks. You will eventually find the shortest way around, and you should make sure to master it ASAP.

7. Keep some nitro for the end
One of the most annoying things in the game is that close to the finish line your opponents will blast in front of you. If you have that nitro, use it right before the end of the race to make sure that you keep your lead.

8. Save money for upgrades
Probably the most important thing to do is to upgrade your vehicle. Therefore, try to reduce spending and only purchase upgrades for a while. The better your car, the higher the chances to get all the stars and #1 positions which will in return give you more money.

9. What upgrades to buy
I personally suggest getting the Handling upgrade first in order to make it easier for you to control your car. Then the top speed is a must, followed by nitro and acceleration.

These are our Asphalt 8: Airborne tips and tricks to help you improve your gameplay. If you have other suggestions to share, I am sure that our readers would be more than happy to hear them!
