Hazard Pay guide

About Hazard Pay

The steady, player-controlled pace in Hazard Pay makes score chasing the first priority and quick decision-making the next one. Hazard Pay uses this sequence: identify the action that raises the score, avoid the next hazard, and keep the run alive long enough to build momentum. Avoid changing several inputs together in Hazard Pay; return to a steady rhythm after a near miss instead of stacking corrections.

A useful first run in Hazard Pay is about seeing the effect of score chasing before increasing the pace. As the course speeds up, keep attention one obstacle ahead and return to the basic rhythm after every landing. This keeps the next Hazard Pay decision tied to evidence instead of guesswork.
