I'm sorry but I have a *SERIOUS* bone to pick with this game(DLC related)!!!!
Y'know.....I have been playing videogames for the better part of 40 years, and never...in my LIFE...have I encountered an objective in a game that has annoyed me more than the Demolition Derby Career events and sponsorship objectives in GRID Legends! The Demolition Derby DLC has got to be the WORST dlc addition to a Codemasters game I have ever experienced!
The problem, are the objectives that want you to wreck a certain number of vehicles during the race. This wouldn't be so bad, if the damage you inflict on the other cars wasn't so darn weak and light. The amount of damage you deliver to the AI is so insignificant that their damage meter barely moves even on a good strong collision impact. This makes actually wrecking their car entirely such a huge chore.
I can barely wreck *ONE* car during an 8 lap race on either track! The way they drive and their erratic behavior, and how they often speed away from you after a collision makes for an exercise in frustration. The INDLOVU Sponsor objectives took me like 8 hours to complete because they want you to wreck TWENTY FIVE vehicles!!!!!! Talk about boring and tedious!
Now, here I am, I'm stuck on one of the LUGNA Sponsor event in semi-pro because they want me to wreck not one, not two, but 5 ****ing cars in one race!!! FIVE!!!!!!!!! Like...seriously CM? C'mon guys. How is this even possible?
Has anyone here completed this particular event? Because if so, I'd sure like to know how you did it. Unbelievable....
It seems the only way to cause significant damage to an opponent's car is to t-bone them. That means to hit the side of an opponent's car with the front of your car. Doing this as fast as possible is better, and using boost helps. Classic Carnage events have boost enabled in the races, but you'll have to remember to turn that option on in custom races in the race creator.
Opponent name indicators are important for demolition events, since name indicators have health indicators below them. Pay attention to them to see what damage the cars already have, or if they're already wrecked, since sometimes it's impossible to tell if a car is already wrecked without looking at the health indicator. If an opponent is already wrecked, you're wasting time hitting them. For causing points of damage it's ok to hit any car that's not already wrecked, but for goals involving wrecking opponents, only aim for cars that are low on health. It takes too long to wreck a healthy car if you have to wreck multiple cars in a single race. Drive around and keep looking at health indicators, and eventually you'll see one that's low, then wreck that car.
Until I figured this out by trial and error, I was frustrated. After I figured this out, I hated demolition derby a lot less than drift events.
