The Crew 2 Beginner’s Tips and Tricks
You’ll want to get the best possible start in the Crew 2 so that you can go toe to toe with your friends, so we’ve collected some great tips for those just starting out. There is some advice on upgrading cars, control schemes and more in the following list:
- Always keep driving after you’ve completed an event. Loot will spawn in front of you, so fast travelling immediately after winning a race is a sure-fire way to miss out on your rewards.
- Look out for events scattered around the map, these small activities usually take mere seconds to complete, but are a great way to build your followers and earn some extra Bucks
- Connect your Ubisoft Account to the game for extra rewards and free vehicles
- There’s no need to spend money on new cars early on, as you’ll be given one for free with each discipline you unlock
- You can select events from the Activities menu rather than finding them on the Map
- Hold L1 and R1 to reset vehicle
- You can toggle smoke in a plane by clicking Left Stick
- If you’ve got time, don’t use fast travel, you’ll earn money and followers while driving to a destination
- Complete Xtrem Live events as soon as you unlock them as the rewards are worth having right away
- Wall riding is surprisingly effective in The Crew 2
- Rubberbanding is a serious issue, so don’t feel like you have to be ahead of the pack for the whole race, a short burst of speed at the end will win most races
