Create A Custom Event On The Hellride
From the main menu, players should select a custom single-player event where they can change the rules and settings. Select the Hellride track. This track was added in a free Holiday Update in 2019, so make sure the game is up-to-date to use it. The track has a unique shape that funnels cars down the main straight and turns coming from opposite directions. This leads to many collisions and an action-packed race, making it a perfect track for earning quick cash.
Choose A Sturdy Vehicle
Players will want to choose a vehicle that has a strength stat of five or higher. If the player doesn’t own any, there are a few vehicles that the player can use for free like the motor home or the school bus. If the DLC is installed, the best vehicles to use are the Wardigger and the Bugzilla monster truck.
Adjust the Event Options
Players will want to change the settings to look like this.
Wreckfestgives money according to finishing position and race length. With 60 laps being the maximum, players can expect the maximum payout. Setting the AI vehicles to lawn mowers makes them easy to wreck out of the race so that they receive DNFs. Players may try other damage settings, but “intense” is recommended. The “intense” damage difficulty gives the faster vehicle some leeway in collisions. This is called the “attackers advantage” allowing players to crash out AI cars easily without receiving as much damage. As long as theplayer is crashing into the sideand rear-end of AI vehicles the motor home/school bus should hold together.
Race Strategy
Once the race is started the AI should quickly start wrecking each other out of the race. Simply race around the track for the first few laps and then focus on eliminating the stragglers. The mini-map shows surviving racers as white circles. The lawn mowers will go down in one hit most of the time. After a few laps the AI will be so damaged that they will keep resetting on the sloped turn section unable to make it up the hill. Players can easily take them all out of the race in that area. Players should check how many drivers are DNF in the pause screen leaderboard.
Get Wrecked
Once players have destroyed every single opponent all they have to do is wreck their own vehicle. The game will consider the player the de facto winner as the last surviving competitor. This method should take only a few minutes and rack upwards of 7000 credits per each race.
Wreckfestis available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
