Popular Post AJ_Radio Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) There is a thread at playstationtrophies.org (PST.org) someone made listing what he felt were the easiest to hardest DLC packs in Driveclub. However that list is incomplete and the OP hasn't been updated in over four years, so I figure I will list what is in my opinion the toughest events in each DLC pack. Difficulty however is subjective, what felt hard for me might be easy for someone else, so feel free to list what events you thought were notably hard or more annoying to finish than others. Everything but DRIVECLUB Tour and All-Stars I have basically had at least one or two events in the DLC pack that I either struggled with completing or was irritated by them. This includes Bikes, I will list DLCs from both Driveclub and Driveclub Bikes for anyone wanting to know what events are notably more difficult than others. I haven't finished all the DLCs, so part of the list I will list as "no comment" until I either finish them or someone mentions what they felt was quite hard. DRIVECLUB: DRIVECLUB Tour - Nothing was notably hard for me, however those new to the game may struggle with a few events. However everything here in my opinion was definitely much easier than the later DLC packs, so anyone like me who hasn't had much experience with racing games should be able to get these trophies without too many issues. --- Ignition - The first DLC I finished outside of DRIVECLUB Tour. Races weren't too bad, but both events with the X-Bow were pretty annoying. The vehicle itself spins out too much. The event X-Bow Bolt has a very tight lap time requirement. Lykan Hot Lap is notably more difficult here than what was offered in DRIVECLUB Tour. Will likely require multiple attempts to beat the lap time for inexperienced players. --- Photo Finish - P1 Hot Lap is very difficult and aggravating. Usage of when exactly to use KERS and DRS is required to beat the lap time. The second race for the Photo-Finish trophy event has a very annoying and hard to get Average Speed Face-Off requirement. You will likely have to get it bumping into other cars, as I had to do to maintain my speed. --- Redline - Alpine Hot Lap was the toughest event for me. I couldn't get the lap time with the McLaren F1 in the McLaren 1992 vs 2014 event on the first race, had to use the McLaren P1 instead. Didn't find anything else too difficult. --- Elements - This is a tough one. As the name implies, all events in this DLC have some sort of rain or snowy weather. I personally think Elements isn't as difficult event by event as Torque, Evolution and even Velocity. What makes this difficult is one event, and that's Venom Hot Lap 2. While it may not be as hard as the first Venom Hot Lap, this event is still pretty hard. The Venom car is hard to control properly and it's even harder to control in pouring rain. The real problem is doing this time trial without drifting, because it's a real bitch. I had to basically spend between 2 to 3 hours making lap after lap in this time trial because the goddamn car just loves to spin out. Venom Hot Lap 2 took me the most time out of any event I can think of, even edging out the difficult P1 Hot Lap event in Photo Finish. What I discovered that made this event a little easier was accelerating the Venom Car to just pass the first corner of the time trial and crash head on onto the wall, while I incur a penalty I still get a lead over the first ghost most of the time. Then it was a matter of driving very fast and carefully without messing up, which was quite a lot in fact. Yeah, this one sucks. To make this less of a headache I suggest getting this event done first so the rest of the DLC will be a lot easier for you guys. A couple other events took some tries, but nothing too crazy. The last race in the Elements Trophy Event is a bitch. It has the worst visibility of any race in the game, starting from lap 2 onwards the sky goes dark and you're racing in the middle of heavy snowfall. I've done the track for this event at least a few dozen times and I still had a hard time finding where the corners were. A tough DLC, but definitely doable. --- Apex - Drift Master Class took a good number of attempts. One of the easier DLC packs in my opinion. Salt Flat Trials was a little annoying to finish. --- Sakura - Relatively easy. Did this DLC pack fairly quickly. I can't think of anything here that stood out in difficulty. --- Downforce - Viper Hot Lap took me a number of attempts. Sweden's Finest can be pretty annoying, especially with how the Koenigsegg One vehicle handles in the rain. --- Midnight - Dusk Til Dawn is an endurance race, very tough to get all three stars in one go, takes over 10 - 12 minutes to finish. All events take place at night as the name implies. Vuhl Proof is pretty difficult and will require a little bit of skill and perseverence to beat. --- Lamborghini - Nothing that stands out to me in difficulty. As usual, the 'Hot Lap' time trials are annoying, but are very easily doable. --- Pacesetter - Several time trials, a couple of which have pretty tight time trial requirements. Dam Busters is an endurance race with a time requirement and 5 Face Offs. I found it easier to do these stars on two attempts. One of the more difficult DLC packs. I struggled with a couple events, namely one with the Marussia B2 vehicle which has bad turn handling. The rain just made the events annoying. --- Turbocharged - Dawn Descent had me stumped for a while. Everything else isn't that bad. --- Evolution - One of the more difficult DLC packs. Crash Bandipur is a challenging time trial due to little room for error. Both the Buggy time trial and race (Buggy Highway and A Class Buggy respectively) were annoying, but you're allowed to drive off track in the dirt without a penalty. Peak Performance, which is an endurance race, is probably the most difficult because you have to be pretty good in going around the corners well given the short track, and you have 9 Face Offs for one of the star requirements. The AI race drivers here seem more aggressive and competitive than in other DLC packs, which means you have to race pretty well. --- Lamborghini Icons - The Lineage race event has an AI opponent who is always first place and is well ahead of everyone else. Carbon Cycle is one of the tougher time trials in the game, took me a lot of attempts to beat. --- Torque - Pretty tough DLC. French Connection is annoying because your opponent has a faster car than you, so you basically have to be good in driving around corners and overtaking him. XX Games will likely take several laps to get a feel for the car and the track. Atomic Theory can be cheesed, it's actually better to crash at some corners to stay ahead of the ghosts. Choose Your Poison is difficult to reach in the Top 2 because of how well your AI opponents drive. It's an endurance race on a track with a lot of corners, and you literally have to race well if you want all three gold stars for this event. The AI is more competitive and difficult to overtake than in other DLCs. Edges out Evolution and is definitely more difficult than Velocity. Torque is notably one of the harder DLCs in the game. --- RPM - Takahagi Hillbillies is another endurance race that is hard to get all three stars in one go, and takes over 10 - 12 minutes to finish. One of the easier DLC packs. --- Velocity - A bit tougher than a number of other DLC packs. Several time trials, including an aggravating time trial with the X-Bow in rain (Target Practice). Evora Borealis is tough. A couple vehicles, particularly the Peugeot EX1 Concept are unique to this DLC pack and they take some getting used to. The Velocity Trophy event has slow vehicles which is surprising, definitely a contrast to the rest of the events. There are no drift events in Velocity, only races and time trials. --- Horsepower - Hype Machines was one of the more difficult race events for me. The Horsepower Trophy event has a pretty tight lap time requirement for the first race. Everything else wasn't that bad. --- Unite in Speed - The Storm Breaker time trial with the buggy is a pain and will likely require multiple attempts due to how poorly the buggy handles. I would say the Power Surge time trial was also annoying, but learning how to handle the vehicle and properly driving around the corners will get you the lap time. Nothing too hard. The Unite In Speed trophy event, while not that hard, has you up against faster cars. Overall, not the easiest, but not the hardest DLC pack. --- All-Stars - by far the easiest DLC. Nothing was remotely hard. --- AMG - This was the last DLC I've finished. Event by event, I think this is the hardest DLC pack in the Driveclub trophy list. The AI seemed more competitive than in other DLCs. In contrast, I literally didn't have to try in All Stars, but I basically had to restart a number of times for the races here in AMG. The drift events had somewhat strict score requirements, particularly the one that takes place at night time. The time trials were NOT easy. Only one was fairly doable, which is the first one you have access to before you unlock the later events. Back to Black was tough. This was definitely a time trial where you simply have to let go on throttle (R2 button) and basically speed up a little as you're going around the corners. The lap time is very strict, and I ended up spending a good 20 laps or so before I had a pretty good idea how to beat it. One Man One Engine is quite simply one of the hardest DLC events in this game. Venom Hot Lap 2 edges out One Man One Engine by a little, and I don't think it's as tough as Venom Hot Lap 1. But I had to spend three hours on this to get all three stars. The real key here is letting go on throttle and being easy with it. Speeding up to a corner and then breaking WILL NOT WORK, because I tried that dozens of times to no success. To make matters worse One Man One Engine is basically a track going from Point A to Point B in pouring rain, and you have a car that doesn't handle well in the rain. On top of those things, you have to get two clean sectors, one wrong mistake can fling your car off track, which will generally have you fail that objective. You have to let go of the throttle even on the easy (green) corners, it does wonders to get you a better time. I must of done over 100 attempts at this event, I don't recall anything other than Venom Hot Lap 2 that gave me this much trouble. YouTube videos help A LOT, and I finally had to consort one after failing so many times. If you can 3 star this event, you have the skills to 100 percent the rest of Driveclub, including Bikes. Learning how to handle the car in pouring rain is top priority, and letting go of R2 will get you around the corners faster without sliding off track. One Man One Engine is difficult and requires many attempts, but it is definitely doable. --- DRIVECLUB BIKES: EBR - Nothing too difficult, probably the easiest DLC pack of the five. --- Suzuki - Definitely tougher than EBR. Both time trials in this DLC pack took me a lot of attempts, both contain a lot of corners that you have to be good at dealing with. Particularly Gixxer Upper, this one can be challenging. Didn't think the Suzuki trophy event was that bad. The Suzuki Challenger trophy kept me busy, would of been a lot harder if not for the ghosts showing me how to deal with the corners. --- No Limits - Nothing too hard. The time trial took some tries as did the 4 clean sectors requirement in the first race of the No Limits trophy event. Fairly easy overall. Even the gold trophy for reaching a trial time of 1 minute 10 seconds or less with the Honda Civic Type R wasn't that bad. --- MV Agusta - Harder than EBR, but I felt it was the same as Suzuki. Indian Summer is difficult to get 3 Gold Stars in one go. Fast & Furious requires skill and perseverance to beat. The MV Agusta challenger trophy is pretty rough, though it can be argued that it's slightly easier than Suzuki challenger trophy. Time trials of course were a little tough but are definitely doable. --- Finish Line - Hardest DLC in the Bikes trophy list. The Finish Line Challenger trophy was tough, namely because the vehicle used here is tough to handle properly. The lap time requirement is rather strict, so I had to look up a YouTube video and run the course a couple dozen times to find out how to get under 1 minute, 14 seconds. Was a good challenge. The drift event here felt like the toughest in the entire game, but at this point I was pretty good at doing the drift challenges so it didn't take me too long. Both time trials were a little hard, as was the Championship Event due to how competitive the AI is. Not as hard as Torque and AMG, but still harder than most of the DLCs offered in both Driveclub and Bikes. --- ========== I think that about covers all of them.

Xenoblast91 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Personally, AMG's "Back to Black" was really challenging. Needed to watch a YouTube tutorial and learn the most minimal detail of the track to beat it. The trial isn't really hard, but you need to be a perfectionist at the beginning of the race, or forget to get the 3rd star. You need to cut the first curve before the ghost, and then keep that way until a green curve, where you can take advantage of a "mistake" done by it (brakes a little and losses speed). Afterwards, be careful with the last curve, where it magically boosts its speed and can take advantage and beat you without mercy. Trying now "One Man, One Engine". Honestly, I feel that one easiest that the above. Despite many people consider this one the true challenging. Idk, I'll check it out later and help with more insights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just posted my thoughts on Unite In Speed. Will add your intake on AMG @Xenoblast91, when I do it for myself I will add my own opinion on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinthoras_96 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) The hardest DLCs are AMG, Elements and Torque Imho. For Driveclub Bikes: There are maybe one or two events in each DLC that are a little annoying, but the hardest challenge is the gold trophy in each DLC. Especially The Koenigsegg in Finish Line and the Suzuki iirc. But the hardest of all of them is the Gold Trophy in Driveclub VR. It has the same requirements as earning 3 Stars in Venom Hot Lab 1 (not 2), which is an event from the Driveclub Maingame and therefore not required for any trophies. That was definitely the biggest pain for me. If you don't own the VR version, try to earn 3 stars in this event in the normal Driveclub. It's insane.

Popular Post The Devils Reaper Posted March 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2020 @Spaz You are some serious entertainment mate ? Multiple threads now over the "unbearable colossal soul destroying" difficulty of.. Driveclub? The only thing i remember about these games is how good the cars/bikes sounded.. Just seems like another one of your "OMG THIS GAME IS IMPOSSIBLE" but you end up doing it the next week type threads..

AJ_Radio Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Real cute @Demon--Prototype. Don't bother posting, I put you on Ignore. === Did Pacesetter last night and plan to do No Limits next for Driveclub Bikes. May do Velocity afterwards, not entirely sure. Definitely a tough DLC, took me longer to finish than most of the others I've done. Edited March 19, 2020 by Spaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han_the_Dragon Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 You did Venon Hot Lap without issues? The one from Driveclub Tour (just wondering, that was one of the last that I did, if I'm not wrong as preparation for Venom Hot Lap 2). For me personally, I don't remember a lot of the events, and the only ones that I still remember being really hard was Venom Hot Lap 2 (the 1st wasn't that easy either, since I only did it when I had most of the dlc done), Back to Black (the fact that it requires a clean sector or something made the time quite annoying to get), a time trial with a full electric car on a track with lots of hairpins and bad turning (forgot what it was..), and a race at deep night, full snowstorm, zero visibility (ya, that was the "hard" part of the race..) I have been on and off on Driveclub VR, and that one isn't much different.. (I'm playing on TV, not headset..) Annoying Ariel Atom time trial, annoying/hard Hennessey Venom time trails (the gold trophy, and 1 on the tour, the one on the tour is the same as a LaFerrari or Koenigsegg Agera R time trial on a high-speed track, I think... I'm quite sure there was a time trial with a really fast car on this track on one of the DLC). My skills also got way worse after all this years... I'm missing those 3 time trials and 3 championships on VR, the championships shouldn't be to bad, but the time trials are a pain... And funny enough, I shouldn't have a lot of problems doing Venom time on VR, after doing both on the original game, but as I said, I'm way worse now.. My best on VR is about 2 seconds to slow if I'm not wrong. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 No Limits done. Fairly easy overall. Only the clean sector requirement for the No Limits trophy event posed a little challenge. 3 hours ago, Han_the_Dragon said: You did Venon Hot Lap without issues?

I'll be up to the challenge eventually, but I'll definitely add your input to the AMG DLC, since I generally hear it's the hardest DLC in Driveclub. My skills aren't the best either but I generally suck at racing games anyway. Also your body and reflexes start to fall apart in your 30s, you're not going to have the same reaction times as a college kid. However plenty of older people have done Driveclub and I don't consider it to be too hard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems that you managed to get at least one DLC completed per day, something that I cannot achieve that easy. Also, the track for Downforce, F-Type Delta, is difficult and unfair. You should add that one in the section. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Suzuki finished. That was ROUGH. One of the time trials kept me busy for a while (30+ minutes of attempts) and the gold trophy for beating Asagiri Highland Raceway V1 in 01:28.500 or less was tough. Would of been harder were it not for the ghosts showing you how you should approach the turns. 3 hours ago, Xenoblast91 said: I can tell you that you should finish the whole game, you're really close.

You should add that one in the section. Truthfully I'm not. The fact is I'm playing a lot now because the C-Virus catastrophe has countless millions of people staying home. I have no work right now, and hopefully they won't let me go. Sad state of affairs, but if anything I'm making good progress on Driveclub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the trophies are easy, but getting all the stars isn't. I don't consider the Back to Black harder than the Venom Hot Laps, the time is actually not as strict as the Venom ones, but the extra requirement for the top star (1 or 2 clean sectors), make it annoying, because you need to be decently fast, but also really careful to not break the second condition. True, that may be the case, but I still deny that... I'm not that old (although my body is starting to remind me more and more to stop doing all nighters, and always go full throttle into everything...). I still prefer to think that I'm just rusty and lack time and patience.. Well, actually this is quite true too, since my work is so stressing that facing stressing situations in games sometimes make me quite way faster then before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliar4 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 2 hardest races in game are Green Star 36? the one with Lambo in Chile and Green Star 60 with Venom. These time trials are bonkers. All dlcs require just a little practice. (and those 2 condition 1 stars are kinda annoying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, might be better if you know how to use manual shifting. The time trial in Ignition where you use the X-Bow was a bit annoying. There's that bit on the track where you're making sharp turns, it's very easy for the X-Bow to spin out in that section. But that was the first time trial I attempted outside of DRIVECLUB Tour so it was a bit difficult.

True, I think that I was doing Cars and Bikes by the time that AMG was released, so I don't factor having 2 targets as a big issue compared to having to achieve a stupid time in an absurdly fast car (Venom Hot Lap 2). Ya, I'm not that into my 30's yet, so far it's essentially a time and patience issue on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ_Radio Posted March 27, 2020 Author Share Posted March 27, 2020 Did a few DLC packs in the last week, so will update them accordingly. 8 hours ago, Xenoblast91 said: I've seen you finish Velocity DLC. How was that? Also, you finished it quick, so may be a 5 out of 10? It's about 5.5 - 6.5 out of 10. Not the easiest DLC but also not the hardest, though I felt it was a little harder than others. There's a couple vehicles unique to the Velocity pack that you're going to have to get used to. Several time trials and no drift events in Velocity, so you're going to need to put in the practice. MV Agusta in Bikes was roughly more the less the same as Suzuki. Evolution was a pain in the butt. The Buggy time trial and race were annoying, the endurance race in this DLC pack was probably the hardest one I've done in my opinion. I got Elements, Torque, AMG and Finish Line left. Hopefully I can get them all by late Sunday - Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahraini_carguy Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 First of all, thanks for noting down all of the difficult DLC events within the game. I completed about %70 of DLC Events and IMO, majority of events aren't that hard if not easy but there's some that would quite piss you off. That Hennessey Venom GT time trial event in the elements DLC is by far the hardest one I ever done so far. It took me nearly an hour of doing laps and trying not to spin out. On top of having a really powerful but not grippy hypercar, you have to deal with heavy rain which makes it even more difficult to complete especially for inexperienced players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 Torque is fucking brutal. XX Games, French Connection, Atomic Theory and Choose Your Poison are a pain in the ass. Probably the hardest DLC I've done so far, it edges out Evolution by a little and it is definitely more difficult than Velocity was. Going to be so glad to finally get this game to 100 percent. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, weren't you to move to other games once you got the Platinum? I was right, you should finish this game before moving on, for sure. It's really painful and frustrating, ONLY IF you want to speedrun this thing out. However, I noticed that gaining Fame with the car you're using in any track, can boost the experience A LOT. Come on, it's a game! We know this, when you level up a thing, the logical result is that's you're going to be powerful, hence, your vehicle achieves more statistics and makes the thing easier. The macimun level is 15, which at that point the stats for acceleration, max. vel., etc. becomes blur and you got the car at full potential. 1 hour ago, Bahraini_carguy said: First of all, thanks for noting down all of the difficult DLC events within the game. I completed about %70 of DLC Events and IMO, majority of events aren't that hard if not easy but there's some that would quite piss you off. That Hennessey Venom GT time trial event in the elements DLC is by far the hardest one I ever done so far. It took me nearly an hour of doing laps and trying not to spin out. On top of having a really powerful but not grippy hypercar, you have to deal with heavy rain which makes it even more difficult to complete especially for inexperienced players. I've leartn also that rain isn't an issue at all. It's your friend and not your enemy. While doing "One Man, One Engine", which many compare it with Venom Hot Lap 2, I saw that rain can boost your speed and drift at curves; the same applies for the Marussia track, which I found pretty easy against other events from its DLC. 26 minutes ago, ShinigamiSensei- said: French connection was hard, Atomic theory was annoying until i used this cheesy method...trust me, it's easier this way... I don't even remember the other 2 races. But i would say it's hard, not brutal...just hard. And yeah! The game allows certian tricks that you need to apply in order to success. Sometimes you need to drive really dirty against the other AIs, and they're going to do the same. So, even you want to do it perfectly, some times that can be against you rather than help. I think that Torque requires you to do that. I'll check it later when finish other DLCs. Therefore, TL;DR. Play each track and learn it; allow your car get Fame. Use rain to your benefit and don't fear it. Play dirty when is needed, that's sometimes your only option.

You right, it's a common mistake that some people take this game too "seriously", but this it's not a simulator. For Atom theory for example, you will lose less time just crushing against the walls than trying to drive perfectly and skid too much in the process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airpeety Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 The two hardest DLC's are Elements & AMG. You do those, you'll be able to complete everything else. (I've 100% btw) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
