Hi, I’m looking for ways to earn money quickly that aren’t Goliath. Cheers.
Try rivals. I played against ten suggested rivals last night, won a ton of credits on short races.
Rivals is shown in the main menu as My Rivals if I recall.
Quickly can be very subjective. One option, that I have used, when I was bored of Goliath (but Goliath is still the most effective and best way to grind), is creating a blueprint near the gold mine and then drive back and forth on the highway to collect near misses and other skill points in the traffic with Huracan HE. Bear in mind, that occasionally you have to stop and let those skill-chain points settle in once you have ~300k or you can do it sooner, because it is very easy to crash into something and loose the skill-chain and doing over 300k is pointless anyway. I have also used the “circuit” in Surfers Paradise to “hot lap” 10, 20, 30… 50 laps with skill boost car (drift boost would also work I guess). Of course both methods include enabled perks from the pause menu. Third option is to do drag races online with Mustang HE (or any other XP boost HE car) - not the best way to collect XP, but you don’t have to constantly sit down in front of the screen since you don’t have to do every drag race.
edit: I totally blocked the word “credits” from OP question. My post was more of a XP farming (the second method works for CR as well).
quickest way to make lots of credits is to use a credit boost HE car and race at the highest difficulty level you feel comfortable with.
Goliath is best for xp, but for credits any race will do. 10 laps of most circuits give about the same as 1 lap of goliath.
if you check the auctions you can get HE credit boost cars quite cheap (there are usually loads of countachs for 200k and you’ll make that back in a few races)
Countach is some sort of prize I believe, most people get one as a commemorative car. Very useful for grinding!
Unfortunately, unless you’re really good at getting people to download your designs or tunes, you’re going to have to grind races.
Goliath is the most time-efficient way to do it (especially with the double credits for next event perk). You can turn down the difficulty if you want as well to make it more playable, the credits bonus from the HE cars and perks apply to the base payout calculated from the event and the number of laps and aren’t affected at all by whatever extra credit bonuses you’re getting from difficulty settings.
If you don’t want to do Goliath, you’ll need to do a lot more laps of other courses. Use the fastest HE car you can reliably control to keep the race time short. The Countach HE is a good car, along with the 2017 Ford GT HE. Both can be made to be very fast when fully upgraded. Another option might be the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG HE. It was given out to everyone as a Forzathon reward not too long ago so it’s very easy to find on the AH if you prefer an AWD super hot hatch over a supercar.
Don’t skip out on Forzathons either, they often have very nice credit payouts for a minimal amount of work, plus the wheelspins can often pay out pretty well (at least as long as you don’t get a bunch of 2000 credit rewards in a row). Plus they tend to give out cars that you can’t get anywhere else, and if you don’t want them you can usually sell them in the auction house after the event has ended for a nice sum.
For money Goliath is not that much faster than other races. Where it really shines is in XP payout, though only if you can keep your chains going by driving fast and scoring Ultimate Speed skills.
Of course, you can just drift through the whole thing, but it’d take ages to complete the event. I wonder whether the XP payout is so much higher that it compensates for playing on a lower difficulty, though.
The drawback of Goliath is that it’s too boring to keep doing just it. So, if all you want is money, perhaps mixing it with other circuits can be worth it. Scrambles give way more XP than regular circuits, too.
If you want to make credits quick, just join club DK STARS*, tag [DK]. Been told they’re giving 50 million credits every week, to every member who gets platinum. They’re ranking up fast. Went from 110,016th to 15th in a week on club leader board. They have people making 999,999,999 xp per week. So you know with all of those wheelspins, they’ve got to have the credits to pay up.
