The Crew 2 Trophy Guide & Roadmap

There are a total of 92 Photo Ops in The Crew 2. For the trophy you only need 40. I picked the easiest 40 for this video. Nothing is missable, they can still be done after the story.

You can activate them in the Pause Menu > Activities > Select a race type (each class has their own photos) > Photo Album. Then go to the location in the video.

In the top left corner of the screen it will show the requirements for the photo. When you are in the correct place the text will get a white background. Then press  to open photo made. You can use to rewind. For example, some photos require you to do stunts. You can complete the stunt and trigger photo mode and rewind. You can also change the time of day and weather in photo mode. If it requires you to take a photo in the rain at night you can simply adjust those settings in photo mode. For photos that require pictures of specific cars you can simply test drive them for free.

The streets during this race have no signposts. Press to open the map in the HUD. You will constantly have to keep an eye on the map to figure out the path. Stay on the road, don’t try any offroad paths. Because you are driving at high speeds it can be easy to crash into things or miss an exit, the map is your friend.

It’s much easier to do this with other players in a crew (co-op session). Only one player needs to place in the top 3. Then it unlocks the trophy for all other participants automatically! So if you have a lot of trouble with this race, play in a group of 4 and hope for someone else to win the event for you.

Level 50 isn’t much at all (it goes up to Level 9990). You will almost certainly get this just by doing all other trophies without any grinding. It’s calculated so that maxing out a car, completing the story (do every race), doing skill events and the 40 photo ops will bring you roughly to Icon Level 50. If you are still a few levels short you can replay races on hard difficulty or fly loopings with an airplane in freeplay.

Don’t worry about this too much, just focus on the other trophies and you’ll most likely get to Level 50 along the way. Each Icon Level also gives a perk point which can be spent in in the Pilot section of the Pause menu.

This costs 1000 Credits.

If you played The Crew 1, check out The Crew 2 Rewards Program to get up to 19 vehicles for free (they count towards the trophy).

There are the following event disciplines (vehicle types):

1. Street Race
2. Drift
3. Drag Race
4. Hypercar
5. Rally Raid
6. Motocross
7. Rally Cross
8. Aerobatics
9. Jetsprint
10. Monster Truck
11. Powerboat
12. Touring Car
13. Air Race

You can easily keep track of this in the Activites Section of the Pause Menu.

Pause Menu (Options-Button) > Activities > Select a class > select the discipline > press to start the event.

You can select them in the Pause Menu (Options-Button) > Activities > choose family > Skills.

Street Racing:

• Escape
• Speedtrap

Offroad:

• Slalom
• Escape

Freestyle:

• Low Altitude
• Aerobatics
• Buoy Smashing

Pro Racing:

• Slalom (Water): Play 1st event “Miami Harbor” from activities list.
• Slalom (Land): Play the 3rd event “Golden Hills Desert” from activities list.
• Escape

In the Pro Racing section be sure to play the first 3 events from the activities list, they are “Miami Harbor”, “Space Industries”, “Golden Hills Desert”. This is because one slalom is on water, the other on land. The game counts them separately, both are needed for the trophy.

You can check for these on the map:

• Press Touchpad to open world map > to filter > > Highlights > Friends. Here you can filter to make only these icons show up on the map (green star icons). Select any of these and beat them.

Be sure you actually beat the score. Personally, I had to beat around 20-30 friends scores before this trophy finally popped. It was likely a server problem at the time, a friend of mine go it first try. If it doesn’t unlock after beating a few highlights, try again at a later time.

Your best bet is to add a lot of other The Crew 2 players. For example, in freeplay you can go to Pause Menu > Roster > Session and add random players who are on the same server. You can also use the comment section below the trophy guide to leave your ID for others to add you.

After beating the desired event, select it on the world map (press on it) > press x2 to select CHANGE DIFFICULTY. Now it will jump to Hard difficulty.

The easiest type of event to win on hard is Aerobatics. Pick the one with the lowest performance requirement. You only need 3,500 Aerobatics points which is easy to do even with a largely underleveled plane.

Hard difficulty gives better rewards than normal difficulty. You get better tuning upgrades if you win the race on hard.

Now teleport to the start of any event. When you drive into the event start it will send out an invite to everyone else in your crew. Have them accept the invite to join you in the race, then complete it. Every crew member will get the trophy, regardless of your placement in the race (still unlocks if you come in on last place).

You can very easily earn this by doing 4 loopings in a row with a plane (open world only). It doesn’t work in races, has to be open world. Each looping gives 150 followers.

An easy spot for this is the ski-jumping hill between Salt Lake City and the Salt Lake Resort. The location is named on the map as “Ski Jump”. See the location in the video. The “Ski Jump Rally Cross” Race is also there. Pick any motorcycle and go there in open world freeplay. Drive down the ski-jump-hill to do jump of 100 meters (110 yards). This works with any motorcycle, it’s a very easy jump to do.

First you need a drift car. I recommend the Mazda RX7. You can score 100,000 points with the stock settings, upgrades aren’t needed but they help.

The easiest track for this is Airport Terminal D. The event lasts 2 minutes. You have to clear it in 1 or 2 continuous drifts. Don’t crash into anything as it will void your multiplier. When the road goes straight you must drift left and right just enough so the drift doesn’t end. When the car isn’t drifting the multiplier starts flashing. If you aren’t drifting for a second you will lose your multiplier. It takes a bit of practice to get to know the track and figure out when to accelerate and how to take each turn. Nitrous can also be helpful here. If you get too close to the guardrail in a drift, you can use nitrous to push back towards the track. Nitrous also makes you drift through turns faster so you get more points.

It’s all about holding your drift for long so you can hit the x50 maximum multiplier. Then the points come rolling in super fast. If you can do the entire event in only 2 continuous drifts you will get above the 100,000 score.

Hitting “Retry” or “Abort” at the start of the match does not count for this. Finishing the event normally and driving back to the finish line does not count. It only unlocks the trophy when you press immediately at the end of the race to restart it.

While in the open world, take a boat or plane to the end of the oceans of the map. You can press the Options-Button (Menu-Button on Xbox One) to switch to a plane in the open world. Just keep flying to the edge of the map until the trophy pops.

The most expensive car is the Koenigsegg Regera worth 1,701,700 Credits. You can get this trophy via test drive (you don’t have to buy the car). This can be done right at the start of the game, after having unlocked the Street Race HQ.

1. Press the Options-Button
2. Go to Catalog > Koenigsegg > Select Regera > Go to HQ
3. Press to test drive

There’s a timer during test drives. If you can’t hit the 2km in a single test drive you can do another test drive and it will add towards the 2km total. You don’t have to drive the 2km in one test drive! For example, if you do 1km in first test drive and then another 1km in second test drive the trophy will pop.

I maxed out a drift car in 3 hours by farming the drift event “Airport Terminal D” on normal difficulty. The event is fixed at 2 minutes but you can beat the target score in the first 30 seconds and stand around until time runs out. It gives you two random item drops each time. Quickly pick up the drops and hold to immediately restart the event. Rinse and repeat. You always get 2 drops per win and it’s entirely random for what tuning category. Due to the randomness some parts will drop more often than others. The goods news is they are always a higher level than the previous drop, except at the end. Once you get to the 235/240 range, the drops are not guaranteed to be 240 first try. At the end some of my drops were level 232 even though my car already had higher performance.  Up until the last 5 points I always received parts that had a higher level than my car’s. The last 5 points took an hour to get. You need to get lucky to get the right part and also for it to be level 240 (roughly a 25% chance at max level drop).

The good thing about the drift event is that it’s very short and you don’t have to drive against AI opponents. Once you’ve reached the score requirement there’s no need to keep driving, even if you get 10 times more points it won’t give you better drops. Plus you probably need a few tries for “Drift Like a Tester” anyway.

This trophy goes hand in hand with “Epic Win” for having an epic (purple) upgrade part in all 7 categories. If you are already icon level, be sure to equip the perk “Lucky” for better drops (Pause Menu > Pilot > Icon PTS).

Fastest way to do 50km is with a plane. You don’t actually have to “drive” as the trophy description states. Flying also counts, I got this in a plane within a few minutes.

To view your total distance driven, press Options-Button > Pilot > Social > Max Distance in Crew in 1 Session. You have to reach 50km (31 miles) in a single session.

It only works when you drive/fly the 50km yourself. It does NOT add up the distance of all players, only how far you have driven yourself. The trophy unlocks for each player individually when they have done the 50km. With a plane it’s super quick to do.

To view how many narrative pieces you have: Press Options-Button > Pilot > Narrative.

After getting the first 7 pieces you must view the 8th piece in the Narrative menu. Then the trophy unlocks.

There are 6 events to the Xtrem Series in total, you must complete them all:

1. The intro race, first race in the game and unmissable.
2. Popular Level (18,000 Followers)
3. Famous Level (55,500 Followers)
4. Star Level (107,000 Followers)
5. Icon 1 Level (178,000 Followers)
6. The Grand Finale: Beat all 4 bosses to unlock it (get 70% completion in Street Racing, Offroad, Freestyle, Pro Racing to challenge the boss in each category)

You can view these events in the pause menu by pressing Options-Button > Activities > Live Extrem Series. Here you can select those events once you have gained enough followers. To get more followers simply win other events.

There are 3 rarity levels for upgrades: common (green), rare (blue), epic (purple). Every vehicle has 7 upgrades. For this trophy you must have an epic (purple) part in all 7 upgrade slots.

To check your upgrades go to the Pause Menu (Options-Button) > Vehicles > Performance. Racing events always give you at least 2 drops for your active vehicle (e.g. drift events always drop upgrades for drift cars).

I maxed out a drift car in 3 hours by farming the drift event “Airport Terminal D” on normal difficulty. The event is fixed at 2 minutes but you can beat the target score in the first 30 seconds and stand around until time runs out. It gives you two random item drops each time. Quickly pick up the drops and hold to immediately restart the event. Rinse and repeat. You always get 2 drops per win and it’s entirely random for what tuning category. Due to the randomness some parts will drop more often than others. Roughly 1 in 10 drops should be epic.

The good thing about the drift event is that it’s very short and you don’t have to drive against AI opponents. Once you’ve reached the score requirement there’s no need to keep driving, even if you get 10 times more points it won’t give you better drops.

Once you reach Icon Level be sure to buy the perk “Lucky”, it increases the odds of getting epic drops (Pause Menu > Pilot > Icon PTS). You also get a free epic part every 10 icon levels (Pause Menu > Pilot > Timeline).
