Skills Mean Prizes
Outside of The Crew‘s normal story missions and stuff you’ve got these little things called Skill Challenges. They’re dotted -mainly – around the roads of The Crew and constitute quick little challenges. There are 8 flavors in all (Speed, Slalam, Scramble, Race Line, Precision, Jump, Hill Climb, and Escape) with each being designed to test your skills. Depending on how good you are at them you’ll be rewarded with a range of shiny things.
The main drive to take these on is the flow of new components for your car that they provide. Getting improved brakes and suspension on the way to a race is nothing to be sniffed at. There are 3 different ranks of upgrades and of course you’ll be wanting to get the best to boost your car’s level to new heights. Let’s say for example that you complete one but you only obtain the bronze medal, you can always go back to attempt it again until you get the best possible reward.
As well as the improved components, you can obtain experience and bucks from doing these quick challenges. Getting a quick couple of hundred experience points and bucks on the way to something else can make the difference between a good evening and a great one.
Sometimes you’ll do Skill Challenges that give you a component which is too high of a level for you to use right now. In this case, it is saved at your HQ for use when you level up further. The components obtained don’t transfer between cars or specs though, so when you first get into a Dirt spec vehicle you’ll have to do a few of these to get your car level up.
