About Drift Hunters
Drift Hunters is a 3D drifting game. You take a car onto a track and slide it sideways through the corners. The longer and smoother the drift, the more points you score, and a crash or a straight line ends your combo.
Points work like money: you use them to buy new cars and to tune the ones you own, from engine and turbo upgrades to suspension and wheel settings. A well-tuned car is much easier to hold in a long drift, so progress comes from both driving skill and smart upgrades.
How to Play
- Arrow keys or W A S D: accelerate, brake and steer
- Space: handbrake (start and hold drifts)
- C: change the camera
- Left Shift / Left Ctrl: shift up / down (manual gearbox only)
On a phone, use the game’s on-screen controls if they appear. Landscape orientation gives the player more room.
Tips for Drift Hunters
- Tap the handbrake to start a drift, then steer and use the throttle to keep the car sliding.
- Learn one track first. Knowing the corners makes long combos much easier.
- Spend your first points on tuning the car you have before buying a new one.
Drift Hunters Guide: Drifting, Points and Tuning
Drift Hunters is easy to start and hard to master. This guide explains the controls, how to hold a long drift, where to earn points fastest and how to tune your car without making it undrivable.
Read the full guide
1. Controls
- W A S D or arrow keys: throttle, brake and steering
- Space: handbrake
- C: change the camera
- Left Shift / Left Ctrl: shift up / shift down (only when the gearbox is set to manual)
2. How to start and hold a drift
Come into the corner with some speed, turn in and tap the handbrake to break the rear tires loose. As the back of the car slides out, steer the other way (countersteer) and use the throttle to control the angle: more throttle pushes the rear out further, less brings it back.
The key is smooth inputs. Sharp steering or holding the handbrake too long spins the car and ends the combo.
3. How scoring works
You score points while the car is sliding sideways. The longer you hold a drift, the higher your points multiplier climbs, so one long, clean drift is worth far more than several short ones. Hitting a wall or straightening up ends the combo.
4. Best tracks for earning points
Tracks with long, flowing corners are best for building big multipliers. Forest has the longest corners and Emashi is also a good choice. The open roads on the outskirts of City work well for grinding points once you are comfortable.
5. Tune before you buy
Points buy new cars and upgrades. Before saving for a new car, put points into the one you have: more power makes it much easier to hold long, high-angle drifts.
Do not max everything at once, though. A car with too much power or extreme settings is hard to control, especially on keyboard.
6. Tuning basics
- If the car feels unpredictable, lower the turbo boost pressure first.
- A common starting point for camber is about -4 to -5 degrees at the front and -1 to -2 degrees at the rear for grip.
- Change one setting at a time and test it on the same corner, so you know what each change does.
