It goes without saying, but you’ll also want to increase the damage of the 60mm cannon, so upgrade both turret and chassis shot damage as soon as you can. Energy Storage Protection is likewise a must, as it’ll make sure you won’t lose your hard earned missiles if an enemy gets a lucky shot in. Simply put, this allows you to fire those deadly, deadly missile barrages much faster.

Speaking of efficiency, you’ll need energy absorption efficiency. Even one level in this will grant a noticeable improvement in your firing, but level two is ideal. You want to kill fast, but bullets too slow? Well, your next priority is reload speed, this makes the 60mm available for firing faster. Early on you may be able to get away with level 2 armor, but make this a priority. There is no reason why the Batmobile shouldn’t have level 4 armor, especially when tackling some of the more difficult missions later in the game. Well firstly, the Batmobile will need plenty of armor, no question. However, there’s no doubt you’ll want to upgrade your squishy, vulnerable Batman as well, so the question must be asked: which upgrades are most essential? This means you’ll need to upgrade your Batmobile early and often. If you want to save Gotham, you basically have no choice but to learn to love the big guy and treat it like your best friend. In fact, many crucial missions along both the main and side stories require a heavy use of the Batmobile.

In Arkham Knight you’re going to be using the Batmobile, a lot. This is useful when quickly correcting yourself during Riddler trials, or a last minute save before you plunge into the Gotham harbor/off a building.Īnother important thing: you’ll need to know how and when to effectively upgrade your Batmobile. No matter how fast you’re going, once you switch to Battle Mode the Batmobile will stop on a dime and allow you to strafe, and turn the vehicle in any direction. Another useful tip: use Battle Mode to switch to the Bat-tank to navigate tight corners. There will be several times when you must pursue or evade an enemy on wheels, and getting the hang of speeding around a tight corner will save you frustration in the long run. Cruise around Gotham a bit to get a sense of how and when you should be using the vehicle’s drift mechanics to navigate corners at top speed. Next, you’ll want to get a feel for the Batmobile itself. This will make driving the Batmobile much more natural, so much so that it’s a wonder why this isn’t the default option. Now you can use the left trigger to break and reverse, like God intended, and tap R1/RB once to switch between the Batmobile and the Bat-tank. There will be something called the “Battle Mode Toggle.” Switch this to ON. So hit pause and jump into the options menu. For some reason, this can’t be done straight away, but once you’ve arrived to the Gotham City Police Department’s building, you’ll be allowed to. So, first thing’s first change the Batmobile’s control scheme. To avoid this, the first thing you need to do is get acquainted with the Batmobile’s controls. The problem with this is if you don’t know what you’re doing, you’ll quickly find yourself driving the Batmobile straight into the Gotham river. Batman: Arkham Knight does a wonderful job of giving you the keys to all of Batman’s toys and allowing you to run wild with them throughout Gotham City. Here’s the thing about the Batmobile, though–it’s a pain in the ass.

Congrats! You are now the owner of a shiny, new Batmobile.
