Welcome to the dangerous and uncertain roads of Hitch a Hike on Roblox.
This unique game challenges your adrenaline with a simple concept but thrilling execution: you must hitchhike from one vehicle to another to cross dangerous highways, while surviving various threats, from aggressive enemies to speeding cars, to reach the final destination.
If you’re just starting this tense adventure, don’t worry.
This Hitch a Hike beginner’s guide will equip you with effective ways to play, survival tips for facing enemies and police, how to get important items, overcome obstacles, and achieve the ending you desire.
Starting Your Hitchhiking Journey: Game Basics
- Main Concept: Your goal is to keep moving forward as far as possible by hitchhiking various vehicles passing on the highway until you reach the game’s endpoint.
- Starting Items: You don’t start empty-handed. You’ll be equipped with some basic items to help you begin:
- Hitch Sign: A sign to signal drivers that you want a ride.
- Basic Wooden Weapon: For basic self-defense.
- Headwear Flashlight: A headlamp for illumination, especially at night or in dark areas.
- Bandaid: For minor emergency healing.
Exploration and Items: The Key to Preparation
One common beginner mistake is focusing too much on hitchhiking and ignoring the surroundings. However:
- Exploration is Crucial: Take time to explore the areas around the highway. Enter buildings, check bushes, and hidden corners.
- Valuable Items: Exploration will reward you with crucial items such as:
- Stronger firearms (SMG, Rifle) and ammunition.
- Better healing items (Medkit).
- More effective melee weapons.
- Car Parts – key items for getting the Good Ending.
- Random Spawns: Keep in mind that item locations spawn randomly each time you play, so exploration always offers the potential for new discoveries.
- Crucial Advice: Always try to explore and gather good loot (items) BEFORE you attempt to face tough-looking enemies or dangerous areas. Preparation is everything!
Knowing Your Enemies and How to Face Them
The roads of Hitch a Hike are not friendly. Most NPCs you encounter are aggressive. Get to know them:
- Cult Member:
- Behavior: Melee attacker, can chase and enter houses/buildings.
- Tactic: If possible, shoot from a distance. If forced into close quarters, attack while continuously moving backward to maintain distance.
- Moose:
- Behavior: Considered the most annoying and difficult enemy to kill due to its high HP and sometimes unpredictable movements.
- Tactic: If you’re near a building, lure the Moose inside and attack from a safe position (e.g., from atop a table or a place it can’t reach). If in an open area, practice kiting: keep running while occasionally turning back to shoot.
- Hunter:
- Behavior: Carries a firearm and will shoot at you.
- Tactic: Avoid confrontation if possible. However, if they keep chasing, it’s better to finish them off quickly before you run out of HP.
- Police (at the Police Station):
- Behavior: Usually found in groups inside or around the police station.
- Escape Tactic: If you need to enter the police station (e.g., for loot or a car part), plan your exit route. After getting what you need, quickly unlock the exit door (if locked), then run as fast as possible and immediately find the nearest car for a ride.
- Deer (Regular):
- Behavior: The most dangerous enemy IF you attack them first. They are passive if left undisturbed.
- Tactic: NEVER ATTACK A REGULAR DEER UNLESS ABSOLUTELY FORCED! If you attack it, it will counterattack lethally, potentially killing you instantly (one-shot) and even launching your character far away. Just leave them alone.
- Stalker:
- Behavior: A mysterious character that only watches from a distance. They do not actively attack or kill.
- Tactic: Simply keep your distance and ignore them.
Special Strategies: Avoiding Police & Farming Bones
Two specific challenges players often face:
1. Avoiding Police Patrols (Police Cars):
- Main Danger: Police cars are the biggest nuisance in terms of travel progress. If they see you holding a Hitch Sign, they will arrest you and forcibly return you to the 900m mark on the map, which is a huge setback!
- How to Avoid:
- Early Identification: Recognize the siren sound or the appearance of a police car from afar.
- Stow the Sign: Immediately unequip the Hitch Sign from your hand if a police car approaches.
- Run & Hide: If you’re already being chased, run as fast as you can. Try climbing onto high places or areas difficult for the car/police to reach.
- Fight/Wait: If forced, shoot the police from a distance or a safe spot. Alternatively, hide until they lose track of you or despawn.
2. How to Quickly Get Bones:
- Function: Bones are items dropped by defeated enemies. While their function isn’t explicitly detailed here, they are typically used as currency or crafting/upgrade materials in similar games.
- Best Sources of Bones: Enemies that tend to drop more Bones are Cult Members, Bears, and Moose.
- Effective Farming Tactics:
- Cult Members: If you have plenty of ammo, shoot them from a safe distance.
- Bears: Lure them towards the highway. Often, they will get hit by passing cars, giving you Bones without needing a direct fight.
- Moose: Lure them into enclosed areas like buildings or narrow alleys; this makes them easier to attack and avoid.
How to Pass the Toll Plaza Obstacle
At one point in your journey, you will encounter a Toll Plaza blocking the road:
- Robot Guards: This area is heavily guarded by several robots that will attack you on sight.
- Single Solution: The only way to pass the Toll Plaza is by defeating ALL the guarding robots. Once all robots are destroyed, the gate or path will open. There is no alternative route.
Reaching the End: Good vs. Bad Ending
Hitch a Hike features two different endings, and the choice is yours:
- Ending Determinant: The ending is determined by whether you successfully collected car parts during your journey.
- Good Ending: To get the good ending, you must find and collect at least three (3) car parts before reaching the end of the game. These parts are scattered randomly in various locations.
- Bad Ending: If you reach the end of the game without collecting at least three car parts, you will get the bad ending.
Additional Tips for Beginners
- Always Be Alert: The roads are very dangerous; watch out for speeding cars (they can hit you!) and always be aware of sudden enemy appearances.
- Conserve Resources: Ammunition and healing items (Bandaids, Medkits) are not infinite. Use them wisely, especially early in the game.
- Utilize Buildings: Buildings are not just places to find loot but also effective shelters from pursuing enemies or for ambushing them.
Conclusion
Hitch a Hike Roblox offers a unique, tense, and challenging survival hitchhiking experience.
The key to success lies in your ability to balance hitchhiking for quick progress, exploring to get essential items, and surviving attacks from enemies and police pursuits.
Don’t forget the importance of collecting car parts if you’re aiming for the Good Ending.
By understanding the game basics, enemy characteristics, and the strategies discussed in this beginner’s guide, you’ll be better prepared to face the harsh realities of the road in Hitch a Hike.
