Mafia 3: 10 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do

6. Auto-Target Tires, Fuel Tanks & More While Driving

Rather like GTA: Vice City, cars will blow up immediately if you can nail a shot right where their gas tanks are. To do so on the move, you're going to need to learn how to fire your gun whilst driving.

Switching to the firing 'mode' is as easy as tapping the right bumper. From here, if you get close to any targets, you'll see a reticule start to decrease in size around whatever you're focusing on.

Now, Mafia handles its in-car gunplay very differently to GTA, in that you can tap L1/LB to cycle between targeting the fuel tank, tires, the driver or just going free aim, before hitting the right bumper to get off some shots.

Naturally you're still going to be accelerating with the right trigger, braking and using the handbrake all in unison, so it requires a bit of finger-twisting to pull off, but once you get it down, any chase missions become far less tedious as you can just pop a few bullets in your foes' tires and be done with it.

If you want to exit this firing mode, simply tap Up on the D-pad.
