Heyaa gearheads! š
Are you ready for some strange occurrences that happened in The Crew 2 in the last few days which will make you face the unknown? š½
Well, if this caught your attention, then you are in the right place considering that it's Wednesday so a brand new Live Summit just landed, but which didn't come alone this time because just as its title says They Are Coming, this week's theme is an introduction to the end of a world and the beginning of a new one with the occasion of seeing UFOs flying here and there and getting all kind of animals and objects from the ground in their own world.
Personally, I've always got shivers down the spine when I thought about aliens or this kind of world which seems so far away from what we are currently living, but I gotta say that the developers of The Crew 2 made a really nice thing creating an event based on this life.
Anyway, in order to enjoy all the things mentioned so far, you gotta jump into the "They Are Coming" Live Summit that will run between 23rd February - 2nd March with the following 9 races:
- Escape - being required to drive at least 920 meters away from a specific radar location. [No Restriction Race]
- Low Altitude - where you are needed to fly a plane and keep it as low as possible to the ground in order to collect at least 3,560 points to move further. [No Restriction Race]
- Slalom - where you have to make slaloms between different objects placed on the ground while collecting no less than 3,750 points to move further. [No Restriction Race]
- Jetsprint - a less common race with a boat but where you need to beat the score of 02:40.000 minutes to win this. [Rocket required]
- Rally Raid - one more off-road race but where you can use any vehicle you want for this one, the single requirement here being to score a record better than 02:58.308 minutes. [No Restriction Race]
- Street - a first race held on the streets where you have to use a specific car and beat the 03:36.000 minutes score. [Atom required]
- Rally Raid - similar to the previous Rally Raid race but where you are using a car offered by the game without being needed to own or purchase it. Just like in the other cases, the time is your only enemy here, having to beat 04:00.729 minutes to move further. [Forced Vehicle required]
- Hypercar - another race on the streets of the US but where you have to drive one of the most expensive cars from the game and place yourself on the first position to win this. [Egoista required]
- Aerobatics - ending the event with one more race with a plane but which is held on a Rally Raid trail and where you have to beat 05:07.798 minutes. [No Restriction Race]
As you can see, this week's Live Summit is not mainly focused on some disciplines because it gets you through most of them without following a specific line, which is always a great thing as you can easily get bored if for example, you have 4x Street Races and 5x Hypercar Races, especially that even if they are part from different disciplines, they are usually both held on the streets.
Happily, this is not the case of this week, and actually along with the races that will take you through the water and in the air, through the forests and over the mountains, they will also come with a nice theme that creates some stunning visuals and things to surround yourself with.
But as every passion requires a few sacrifices and investments sometimes, "They Are Coming" Live Summit also asked me to purchase two vehicles that I wasn't already owning. One of them was around 355,000 bucks and I purchased it right away, but the other one is amongst some of the most expensive vehicles from this game which I had in plan for a while now to get in my collection but I still have to earn a few more hundreds of bucks in order to afford buying it.
Hence why I wasn't able to complete one of the races. š
Along with the races that I completed today, by far my favourite one was the 5th race of the event which even though it's a quite boring Rally Raid race, the whole trail was redesigned with neon lights, UFOs flying above your head when you jump off a rock, some fallen ones which are creating the portals you have to get trough, and even some lasers that get cows and other animals in these Sci-Fi vehicles. How cool is that? š½
Though, I have to say something here because I would really love to see the theme the developers pick for each Live Summit released be implemented in all the 9 races available, but if you played this game already or follow my posts for a while, you might be aware that we get to see these new graphics in only one or two races, which is sort of sad.
The 2nd race we got to enjoy a little bit more the news brought to the game it's the Rally Raid one (7th race of the event) that doesn't come with the neon lights and other decorations but you will have to deliver a small UFO with your vehicle that it's a forced one which means it's offered by the game and you don't need to buy or own the requested car.
Unfortunately, this also comes with a disadvantage because you will have the truck limited in terms of upgraded parts that you can control and even bring to the maximum level in other cases.
Except the other races that are usually found in all the Live Summits, there is one more I'd like to remind of because it's something new in my posts of this type, namely the Aerobatics race which even though it involves flying a plane, the trail you must follow it's of the Rally Raid discipline.
You might say, ok fine, and what's so cool about that? š¤
Well, along with the thing that you can finish the race faster than any other vehicle you would drive on the trail because you are able to fly over the mountains and rocks that usually you should avoid, there are also the objectives placed on the ground which you have to get through in order to have your progress saved and which comes with the requirement to keep your plane as low as possible to the ground.
That's why the Low Altitude race from the beginning of the Live Summit it's a pretty good training for that! š
Anyway, as I already have completed the 2nd episode of The Contractor Season there is no point in flexing anymore with my level and items earned, lol, but do keep in mind that today there were added two more weekly challenges where each of them comes with 20x Motorstars that can be translated in two more levels earned for your work done in the Motorflix event.
What about you though? Did you take advantage of the new Live Summit and its races already? Also, what do you think of this brand new theme with UFOs and other Sci-Fi elements? š½
