Hunting for the Humble Honda? Finding the Cheapest Ride in The Crew 2 (and Maybe Some Freebies Too)
You’re diving into The Crew 2. Your pockets feel light. You’re searching for the cheapest car. You want something that gets you around without emptying your pockets. The Crew 2 doesn’t slap a ‘Bargain Basement’ sticker on any cars. However, we can guide you to some great starting points and even some freebies. Who doesn’t love free stuff, especially in terms of a fast car?
Free Wheels? Yes, Please!
Forget the lowest price tag for a moment. The savvy player knows how to get cars without spending a coin. The Crew 2 offers free vehicles. You’ll earn them by playing the game and looking cool while doing it.
A juicy freebie is the BMW M Performance M4 Racing. It’s no clunker; it’s a proper racing vehicle. How do you get it without spending in-game cash? Increase your Icon Level. Icon Levels act like your ‘street cred’. As you gain experience, you climb through Icon ranks. Achieving milestones unlocks rewards. Being an Icon has perks, including BMW giveaways.
The free car bounty continues. Keep climbing those Icon Levels and you’ll find a Ferrari LaFerrari waiting for you, for free. Yes, you read that right. LaFerrari. Free. It’s like the game offers, “Thanks for playing, here’s a hypercar.” So, while you’re not buying the cheapest car, you’re gaining high-value options by focusing on progression and unlocking these incredible cars.
Making Money Moves: Fueling Your Car Buying Spree
Free cars are great. Maybe you have your eyes on a specific model in the dealership. Or perhaps you have in-game cash itching to be spent. Either way, knowing how to earn money fast in The Crew 2 is key. Luckily, various paths can lead to being a virtual millionaire.
Race Grinding: Your Path to Riches. Want to pump up your in-game balance? Prepare for some race grinding. Not just any races will do; you need strategy. The “Harlem West” street race is a classic money-making spot. It’s short and rewarding, perfect for building funds with repeat runs. If you crave adrenaline and bigger rewards, try the “Hypercar Police Pursuit” on Ace difficulty. Just know Ace adds spice—bring your A-game and maybe a hypercar of your own.
Icon Points: Invest Wisely, Get Richer. Remember those Icon Levels? They also grant Icon Points that you can invest in perks to enhance your game. For money-making, the “Rich” talent is vital. Load your Icon Points into this talent fast. It boosts money payouts from events, making every race a moneymaker. Think of it as interest for your racing career.
Gold Parts and “Rich” Affixes: The Midas Touch for Your Ride. Want to maximize earnings from races? Pay attention to vehicle parts. Equip cars with gold parts when possible; they provide better performance and bonus perks. Look for parts with “Rich” affixes. These increase money rewards, pairing with the “Rich” Icon talent to turn you into a money magnet on wheels.
Playlist Power: Cars and Cash in One Go. Playlists in The Crew 2 offer themed events packed with challenges. Completing playlists gains you serious rewards, including vehicles and lots of cash. If you’re keen on expanding your garage and bank balance simultaneously, dive into playlists for a two-for-one automotive deal.
Shopping Smart: Navigating the Vehicle Supermarket
You have your free cars sorted, and your money-making machine is rolling smoothly. Now let’s discuss buying cars. The Crew 2 has a massive array of vehicles from sleek racers to rugged monster trucks. Navigating this car buffet can feel overwhelming. Fear not; the shop is user-friendly to help you find your perfect ride (or at least a decent starter car).
To access the vehicle shop, hit pause and select “Shop.” This opens a window to endless options. The shop isn’t static; it has tools to sort through many vehicles. Filter by discipline (Street Racing, Drift, Rally Raid) or manufacturer—and price. While we can’t pinpoint exact cheapest cars (the game isn’t promoting ‘Economy Rides’), using filters helps browse the cheaper end of options that fit your budget.
Starting cheap doesn’t mean slow in The Crew 2. Focus on earning free cars, mastering money strategies, and choosing initial purchases wisely. Before long, your garage will be full of rides, and your bank balance will be anything but cheap. Enjoy driving, and may your virtual fuel tank always be full!
