How do you escape the cops?

[snoopdoggtg]

My god, on heat level 3 they are almost glued to my car, I cannot outrun them, I cannot destroy them quickly enough, I cannot do anything. The cops' AI is cheating as hell. Any tips?

Yeah, don't try to take on Heat level 3 too soon. Get a proper, tuned up car first. Heat level 3 is mid-game content, 4-5 is endgame content.

 

It's easier to play in a solo lobby, because you can pause the game and plan your escape. Jumps are your best friend, as cops will destroy themselves by attempting to follow you over jumps (over water etc).

If you really want to you can go to the down left corner of the map and jump on one of the containers. Cops lose total vision of you while you are on container and you can drive to safehouse which is really close to that spot. (It's kinda a glitch because I don't think this was intended)

Jumps are good.  You can also drive into the water.  When you respawn, they are often crashed (I assume having driven into the water as well).

Go for the jumps. They will either brake or crash. If there is a cop still chasing just turn around and do the jump again.

I can’t remember exactly where but there is a spot in the downtown area where there is a jump that the cops won’t follow you. I used that one to farm the speed traps and get to 1milly rep. That is the easiest place from what I remember.

I remember the evading cops being much mor satisfying in Most Wanted. in heat the car is super fragile and you cannot dole out as much punishment as you'd like.

Also hate the limit on full repairs in a night.

It's going easy when you progress main story and get better parts..cops are glued but when you upgrade car to move 10+sec faster then ~270km/h no adv. cornering, just drive straight forward and they say inbuild intercom smg like chasing car is too fast for us and they end pursuit.. 

 

When hot lvl5 also working..game is very easy with fast car.. Just put armor upgrade and bonus reapair for "taran cop car" ..he drive on game map like homecomming missile.. Hard to evade and high damage to our car.

I'm level 19, an Audi car that goes over 250km/h, and I can't level up at night anymore. Cop cars are impossible to destroy, impossible to leave behind, two hits on my car and they destroy it. I really don't know what to do...

Use jumps to loose them. Only way if your car isn't fast or strong enough and it works 100%. Check my suggested route: https://forum.psnprofiles.com/topic/95639-easy-rep-grind-no-glitch-regular-gameplay/

If you go on the roof of the Edgewood valley mall they will NEVER follow you and you can escape and go to the safe house nearby. This is great if you can get there, its in the middle of the map so it's not too bad.
