Monopoly GO has introduced a new minigame event called Tycoon Racers, where players strive to outperform their rivals for the highest medal tally and leaderboard positions. The latest update features a thrilling booster named Overload. When applied thoughtfully, this booster can dramatically alter the course of the game, potentially turning the tides in leaderboard standings. This guide outlines how the Overload booster functions in Monopoly GO’s Pod Racers and how to acquire more of them.
What is the Overload Booster in Monopoly GO?
The Overload booster acts as a temporary hindrance to an opposing team during races. When a rival team gets hit with Overload, their capability to gain points is significantly reduced, as their dice rolls are halved for a limited time.
This results in a notable decline in the total points they can gather on each turn, effectively stalling their progress on the track. In essence, each dice roll yields half the usual output, making it much harder for them to keep up.
Teams affected by this slowdown will see a progress bar that tracks how many points they need to regain their normal pace. The Overload effect continues until they collect the necessary points to break free. Notably, the effect of Overload can be compounded; if a team is hit while already under its effect, the duration of the slowdown extends.
How To Use Overload Booster in Monopoly GO
After obtaining the Overload booster, it will automatically activate during the Race View. You can then select which opposing team to target with it.
There are two strategic applications for the Overload booster. If an opponent is leading, using Overload against them can help your team, along with others, catch up. Conversely, if another team is close to surpassing yours, deploying Overload can create a valuable point gap.
Coordinate with your teammates to decide on Overload targets. Given that the effects can be stacked, having multiple team members target the same opponent with Overload can greatly impede their progress.
How To Get More Overload Boosters in Monopoly GO
You can earn the Overload booster as you and your team (or playing solo) utilize your Flag tokens to roll the dice and navigate through the race track. As you complete laps, you will be eligible to claim rewards. Among these rewards, the Overload booster is available in the lap reward boxes. Thus, actively engaging in the event is crucial for securing more Overload boosters.
