The title of this article or section is conjectural.
This means that it's not an official name.

Opponents in the Carmageddon series are encountered in tiers. In general, the tougher an opponent's vehicle, the later in the game he or she will be encountered. New tiers do not supplant previous ones; when drivers from later tiers have been introduced, drivers from earlier tiers still appear alongside them in races.


Carmageddon

Tier 1 Opponents

Tier 2 Opponents

These opponents first appear in the level Mist Me! at Rank 84.

Carmageddon II

Tier 1 Opponents

Tier 2 Opponents

These opponents first appear in group 4. Psycho Pitbull appears as a target in the mission of group 4, but he does not appear as a regular opponent in Carmageddon II.

Tier 3 Opponents

These opponents first appear in group 7.


Carmageddon TDR 2000

Each tier represents the race group in which the opponent first appears. Driver tiers in TDR 2000 do not work as they do in Carmageddon and Carmageddon II; rather than having a fixed combination of tiers represented, fresh vehicles in TDR 2000 are simply added to the pool of available opponents. This means that it's possible to have a race in which every opponent comes from a high tier, or a race in a later level comprised entirely of tier one vehicles.

Tier 1 Opponents (Hollowood)

Killa Kart is the police vehicle for this group. It does not appear as a regular opponent until group 2.

Tier 2 Opponents (Slums)

The Cop Car makes its first appearance as the police vehicle in this level. Tow Meister and Gorvette appear as targets in the mission Traffic Jam, but do not appear as regular opponents in this group.

Along with SXE Black Hatch, McKilem and Witch Doctor appear as enemies in missions, but not in regular races.

Tier 5 Opponents (Military Zone)
