In this Mafia: Definitive Edition walkthrough guide, you will learn how to avoid being detected by the police.
Mafia: Definitive Edition is a massive remake of the first game in the series following the release of the second and third Definitive Edition games a few months ago. The game has not only become more beautiful, but also improved in many ways. One of the pillars of the game is the police, who will pursue you for breaking the law. However, this version allows you to customize the level of police harassment.
How to avoid detection by the police
In this tutorial, we will cover two main problems, one of which will be about settings, and the other will be about how to avoid the police in the game itself. Mafia: Definitive Edition introduces a new police setting that lets you set how strict and reactive they are in the game.
Police settings are in the pause menu when you press RB / R1 to go to settings and go to Police Presence. By default, this is set to "Normal", which means that the police will respond to crimes involving harm to people. You can then change it to Simulation, which will not only make the police chase you for it, but also for little things like traffic violations like speeding, red traffic lights and road collisions.
The simulation is actually more like what was in the original game, but it quickly becomes outdated when you just try to enjoy driving around the city in such a sandbox game. In fact, you can also make this choice when you first start the game, but we decided to inform you as soon as you enter the game,
In addition to the settings with the presence of the police in the game, you can also immediately avoid being detected by the police. First of all, you shouldn't do anything too problematic that will grab their attention, especially if you are in simulation mode. That means no red lights, overspeeding and the like, and this is where the speed limiter comes into play. Even if you have a normal mode, you must be careful when driving on it, because you need to avoid collisions with pedestrians and those who might jump out in front of you.
How to get away from the police in Mafia: Definitive Edition
Another important tip is to keep an eye on your map while driving. The cops will appear on it as small blue icons that stand out to indicate that they are nearby. If they are looking for you, but have not found you yet, try to get out of this area to walk past them if you see them on the map in front of you. If you do this all the time, you can avoid them for the most part and stay out of sight.
