How to make money fast in The Crew 2
Four quick ways to get some cash to upgrade your cars in Ubisoft's new racer.
The Crew 2 is one of the most hotly anticipated racing games of the year. With a huge map – featuring iconic American cities – to speed around in everything from cars to speedboats and planes, Ubisoft's sequel showcases fast-paced racing in nearly all of its forms.
As with every open-world racer, it’s important to get some money early in the game so that you can upgrade your vehicles with several different visual and performance upgrades. Here are four tips that will help you acquire some early cash.
Always complete the objective
Yes, this is an obvious point but completing the objectives in the first couple of events is a great way to bring home some money quickly. Guaranteeing an objective will get you at least $10-15k. Spending that money on performance parts is a handy way of getting the upper hand on the opposition early on in what is a game filled with various events and activities.
Finish the Side Missions
If you don’t fancy taking on one of the many races on The Crew 2, there are always side missions, which are a great way of earning a little bit of extra spending money. Located all over the map, these events range from setting a particular speed through a speed trap or escaping an area in a set time. If you’re a few thousand dollars off your next vehicle purchase, check out these events to help reach your target.

Increase the difficulty
Once you have reached a certain number of followers, the difficulty of the events can be changed from Normal to Hard. With the change, the opposition becomes much tougher, meaning that you’ll receive more money if you are able to achieve the objective. Before attempting an event on the harder difficulty, tuning and upgrading your vehicle is essential if you are to stand a chance of scoring the bigger prize.
Earn easy money with photo opportunities
Last but not least are the countless photo opportunities that can be found across the vast American landscape. They are a great way of making $15k and are relatively easy to complete. Simply access the LivePhoto feature, focus on the criteria for the photo and grab the snapshot to earn the cash! Here’s a tip: If you missed out on an opportunity for a photo, use the LiveTrack feature to look through the past 10 minutes of gameplay and see if you can capture the all important moment!
