How to escape the cops
Getting away from the cops in Mafia: Definitive Edition is not a universal situation, but rather one where it depends a lot on the situation and where you are on the map. The game has a star based system that decides how much you are wanted by the cops at once with one being the least and five being the most as you see in Grand Theft Auto.
Once the cops are after you, your objective will be to try and escape them and get them off your trail. This can be done in a number of ways, with your vehicle type playing an important role in this.
The first thing you're going to want to try is just trying to get away from the cops by driving as fast as possible, which is a lot more useful if you have a really fast car. Finding a good one right away and just pushing the pedal on the metal can be a really good method here, as there are long straight lines that allow you to part where they lose track.
If you are using a slow vehicle, such as the one you have to use in a certain mission, it will be much more inconvenient. This is because it will be difficult to use the speed of your vehicle to get away from the police cars.
If you have a slower vehicle or are just in the middle of town where it will be more difficult to get maximum speed without crashing, you will need to be resourceful. First of all, there are real places in the city designed for you to lose someone who is on your trail, which are little white markers on the minimap that are a construction area that you can walk through and prevent. the car following you to continue. after you.
If you can't find them, the other method is to simply use your surroundings to your advantage. When a cop starts coming up next to you, bait him into an accident to give you a chance to get out of there before he can start over. It doesn't always work, but it does give you the chance to at least create a separation and hopefully get out of it.
Police detection is a two-step process as they announce that they cannot find you, but are always on the prowl. This will mean that the star count is gone, but you have to desperately avoid the police for a while until they give up the search altogether. If you walk past one of the cops at this point, they'll see you, pick you up and start the whole process over.
