</>What does Heat Wipe do?
One bad noise and the stars go up, and from there Crime Simulator turns into a running battle you rarely win with a full bag. Heat Wipe gives you three ways out. Wipe The Heat is the panic button - press it mid-chase and your star level drops to nothing while any cars already parked outside are sent home. Stay Off The Radar goes further and holds the chase level at zero permanently, so the police never escalate at all. If you'd rather keep the tension and just make it survivable, leave both off and use Slower Response instead. That stretches the gap between police arrivals from a few seconds out to as long as three minutes, so a chase becomes something you can actually plan around rather than sprint away from. One thing worth knowing for co-op: the police escalation is run by whoever is hosting the session, so this takes effect when you're the host or playing alone.
</>What is Heat Wipe?
One bad noise in Crime Simulator and the stars go up. Heat Wipe gives you three ways out: a panic button that drops your stars and sends parked police home, a permanent zero-star setting, and a Response Delay slider that stretches police arrivals from three seconds out to minutes if you would rather keep the tension.
</>Common questions about Heat Wipe
What does Heat Wipe do in Crime Simulator?
Heat Wipe gives you three ways to deal with the police in Crime Simulator. Wipe The Heat is a panic button: press it mid-chase and your star level drops to nothing while any cars already parked outside are sent back to the station. Stay Off The Radar goes further, holding the chase level at zero permanently so the police never escalate on you at all. Slower Response keeps the chase but stretches the gap between police arrivals, so a bad night becomes something you can plan around instead of sprint away from with a half-empty bag.
What is the difference between Wipe The Heat and Stay Off The Radar?
Wipe The Heat is a one-off press that clears the situation you are in right now: your Crime Simulator star level drops to nothing and any police already outside go home. The heat can rise again the moment you make your next mistake. Stay Off The Radar is a switch you leave on, and it holds the star level at zero permanently so the escalation never starts in the first place. Use the button when you want the game to stay dangerous but survivable, and the switch when you want to spend an entire night looting without ever thinking about sirens.
What does Slower Response do if I want to keep the chase?
Slower Response is the middle setting in Heat Wipe, for players who want Crime Simulator to stay tense. It leaves the star system alone entirely, so you still escalate, still get chased and still have to escape. What changes is the wait between police arrivals, which you set on the Response Delay slider. Instead of a fresh car pulling up every few seconds, you get breathing room to finish a room, reposition or pick an exit. The chase stops being a flat-out sprint and becomes something you can actually plan, which is a very different game to switching the police off.
How long can I set the Response Delay?
Response Delay is measured in seconds between police arrivals during a chase in Crime Simulator, and the game normally uses three. Nudging it up to ten or fifteen already changes a chase from panic into something manageable, and stretching it towards three minutes effectively means one wave of police and then a long quiet gap to disappear into. The slider only does anything while Slower Response is switched on, so it sits idle if you are using Wipe The Heat or Stay Off The Radar instead. It is the dial to reach for when you want difficulty tuned rather than removed.
Does Heat Wipe work when a friend is hosting in co-op?
Police escalation in Crime Simulator is run by whoever is hosting the session, so Heat Wipe takes effect when you are the host or playing solo. Join a friend's lobby while they are not running it and the chase follows their game rather than yours. For a crew, the simple answer is that the person who wants calmer police should be the one who hosts the night. It is worth sorting out before you start, because a whole lobby counting on the panic button will find it does nothing if the wrong person has the session.
