Arms Race is a multiplayer game mode featured in the Armed and Dangerous pack for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010). The game mode involves a point to point sprint along a set route that is limited to a maximum of 8 racers, and the first racer to cross the finish line is the winner. The starting grid of an arms race event is arranged with racers having a lower racer wanted level placed closer to the front of the pack and higher bounty rank racers being placed nearer the back. Arms race events can take place on any of the available multiplayer routes.
