Head to Head

Head to Head is a game mode that appears in most Wipeout games. In this game mode, you will compete against only one opponent.

Gameplay

Head to Head is actually similar to single races, but there are some differences:

• There are only two contenders, the player and the opponent.
• Only speed pads are available for use. Weapon pads can be enabled or not, depending on each game.

Since there is only one opponent, the objective is to finish the race before the opponent does. As well, try finishing the race with the farthest difference possible.

Wipeout 2097

This game mode is known as One on One, with both speed pads and weapon pads enabled. To be able to play this mode however, players first have to establish a link.

Wipeout Fusion

Every time you complete two Leagues, the second pilot of a team will challenge you to a race at Devilia. This is the only way to unlock new teams in this game.

Every time you complete all five challenges for a team with gold medal in Super Weapon Licence Challenges, you will unlock the Gold Challenge for that team. The Gold Challenge is a one-lap Head to Head race without weapons against an opponent in a superior ship.

Wipeout Pulse

This game mode is available in both Race Campaign and Racebox. In this game mode, all weapon pads are disabled, so strategy is the key to winning the race.

In Race Campaign, the Head to Head event first appears in Grid 5.

Wipeout 2048

Only two Campaign events are Head to Head, both of which feature the Pir-hana Speed as the opponent. Unlike in previous game, the weapon pads are active, and always give you Missiles, making it possible to finish the race early by eliminating the Pir-hana.
