Pursuit of the perfect Lambo Challenge

[FlyingAllNight]

Ready for a mind blowing time sink idea?

So I just bought my first Lambo. My plan is to not only place the best items in it but to also upgrade EVERY item to 3 stars with scraps.

My mistake was not realizing how much scrap you will need to do this. I started with 8k scrap. What you probably will need is about 50k scrap. No joke. I barely put a dent in my 100% items i'm upgrading.

So how do you get more scrap?

Here's is the problem. It's taking a ton of time and money.

Right now im going to the junkyard. I walk around and pick up every piece of junk. Items are random so numbers will be different but if you pick up all the items you are looking at 10-15k worth of junk. I ended up spending 8k by removing all expensive pieces of junk.

8k of scrap got me roughly 1.3k of scrap points.

So the cost of junk needed to MAYBE complete a Lambo to 3 stars is looking about 320k.

That is alot of cheddar but the worst thing is the hours of play time to find junk and then play that scrap game over and over and over.....

I probably am looking at 40+ runs to the junkyard for scrap. Probably about 40-50 hours of the scrap game.

But at the end THE PERFECT LAMBO. So who else thinks this is a great idea and is up for the challenge

I like the sound of this.

I'm curious though, when playing the scrap mini-game, do you always aim for the single blue bar (+3 bonus), or go for the two green bars (+2 bonus)?

What sort of percentage of hitting blue are you getting (as opposed to missing it)?

I ask because there is more chance of missing the blue, and I'm starting to think it's just safer to aim for green all the time and be guaranteed to get some additional bonus.


On a side-note, i think the number of blue bars should increase based on the quality of the item you're scrapping, so a 100% (perfect) item would have more blue bars, and a higher value item would have more blue bars.

You should definitely post this in the suggestions thread. Maybe the devs will consider the idea.

I usually aim for the 3 but also 2 when getting tired. I am good enough where I am most likely averaging 2.25 a piece.

Question is it worth the extra time it takes to try for 2 or 3. Spamming and getting mostly 1's might be a quicker way.

As more blue bars yah i think better more expensive items should probably have some benefit. Odd that a 2 credit item gives the same scrap as a 150 credit item.

Suggestion posted - doubt much will come of it though.

I suspect this really depends on if you a have reliable and fast source of items to scrap. If not it could become tedious.

I suppose you could just buy the cheapest item in the part store and scrap that, but I suspect that wasn't the intended gameplay mechanic.

Actually not a bad idea DruidsNectar. Might be worth considering.

Right now I have left the idea of doing the junkyard and focused on Barns only.

Reason for doing the barns.
-Crates- All on luck but the scrap from these are great.
-Looting items in barns is quicker then junkyard.
- For leveling this works better due to crates.
-cash/credit wise you lose less credit over time
-Barns are better for finding more Lambos (I now own 3)

Also due to crates giving 300-400 scrap easy quest are worth doing for the chance of a crate. Breaks up the barn/scraping.

Sounds like something fun to grind for, but upgrading non-performance parts is not worth it at all. It does nothing but increase value of the part by a couple of credits.

No one said this was suppose to make any sense. :)

There's probably another four years before the next CMS version releases. 🤣

So I actually finished the perfect Lambo. Here's a few stats..

-Took about 25-30k scrap. Best way I found for scrap was hitting the farms and hoping for crate luck. Also I never want to play the scrap mini game again.

-Value of car is 220k. So 25-30k scrap (everything 3star) add 5k value. I want to be sick

-Top speed was 305.

-Tuning was 44.85%. Maybe i missed something not sure.

Real fun of doing this ended up being the crazy amount of farm runs that ended up getting me another 4 Lambos. HINT: They won't be 3star,

Lambo is missing quite many performance parts still like camshafts, engine heads, rear exhaust etc. They will probably add to it later in the game development.
