Heat points
You can obtain a maximum of 20 Heat Points by doing the following actions.
Carjacking by Aiden scores 1 Heat Point.
Civilian casualties scores 2 Heat Points per civilian.
Helicopter destroyed scores 2 Heat Points.
Keep your helicopter within sight of your target to give the sharpshooter a chance to shoot. Each hit will add to your Heat Point total.
Police cars totaled scores 1 Heat Point per car.
Police casualties scores 2 Heat Points per officer.
Police takedowns scores 2 Heat Points per officer.
Sniper killed scores 2 Heat Points.
Targeting the spotlight on Aiden scores 1 Heat Point every four seconds (or every three seconds if the Boiling Point Skill is unlocked).
ctOS incidents triggered by other players will increase your Heat Points. You can help this process by triggering ctOS devices to force other players to commit illegal acts. For example, having other players harm pedestrians. Each successful ctOS attack adds Heat Points to your total.
Helicopter
Use the police helicopter equipped with a sharpshooter to hunt opposing players. Maneuver the helicopter by selecting the icon, then drag and drop it to a location. The sharpshooter will shoot your target once it is in sight. Keep the helicopter above your target to allow the sharpshooter to take shots. Note: To manipulate ctOS devices and police units, they must be within the Wi-Fi range. Opposing players can damage your helicopter by shooting or hacking it. Tap the "+" symbol to repair it, at the cost of some Heat Points.
Police patrol units
Tap the "+" icon on a police patrol car to dispatch it. You can drag and drop the patrol unit to a location within the blue Wi-Fi range. Active dispatches cost you Heat Points and stronger units will cost more of those points. You can recall units to regain some Heat Points. Police units are also removed from resources when they are too far away from your target. You can deploy those units again by tapping the icon within the time limit.
