Tips & Trickz For The Crew

Hmm, so if you are doing a mission that uses the ribbon to show you where to go ( no checkpoints ), you do not have to stick to that path. That good to know your free to pick your own path to the finish.

Correct. I've noticed that it picks a route based on the road type and your car spec.
For example, the other day I set a route to an undiscovered radar tower while in my MP4-12C. It wanted me to take a massive detour on road when it was faster for me to take a direct route on dirt trails at a capped speed.

I also have the ribbon turned off in my game and while most missions respect that setting, some show it anyway. I should really remember to turn it back on when doing those hour-long faction races.

Is the only way to get perks after the story to buy them with CC?

Mon Dec 08, 2014 6:47 am

Yes

You'll get 50 from the story (maybe more if they add to the levels). Possibly another ~5 if you spent your first perk points on the Double Down perk. The rest come from CC, but not all are necessary imo (unless you want the AP for getting them all).

The Blue Ribbon will adapt to your alternative route, as you can see in the youtube video.
When there is only a start and finish, you can basically drive how you want to. I think that is kinda cool

So i got the S.O.S. and Back to the Future rewards, what's next? Ramming Trains, lol

I'm level 7/10 in the Double down Perk with a driver level of 36, I have yet to see 2 perk points when leveling up, imo it was a waste.

Anyone have any good tips for the Sucker Punch mission (escape mission South)? I tried about 5 times with no luck.

For sucker punch, try to find your way into the motorway and go against oncoming traffic - they should inevitably take themselves out with multiple collisions.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I came close twice last night, lost the pursuit but then either I misjudged a corner, or a traffic car got in my way and then they found me again.

Yes it took me a few goes too. I ended up almost escaping after a long chase far from the initial city before getting flipped on a rock, and then the next one I somehow managed to lose them quite quickly.

The other tip is to take lots of turns to create distance, and then as soon as you're in cooldown mode, burn up the nitrous. Expand your map to look out for other police ahead though.
