Post Star Wars Battlefront 2, Need for Speed Payback Changes Progression

Need for Speed Payback

Oh yay, more loot box stuff.

Ghost Games, the developer behind Need for Speed Payback, has decided to take some initiative. Specifically in the wake of SWB2’s massive progression controversy.

While much of the game’s progression is nowhere near the same problem as SWB2’s, they felt the need to tune it up a bit. As such, according to VG24/7:

  • Increased the amount of REP awarded by taking part in events.
  • Increased the amount of Bank awarded by taking part in events.
  • Bait crates now reward increased REP.
  • Bait crates now reward increased Bank.
  • Competing against a Roaming Racer will reward you with increased REP.
  • Competing against a Roaming Racer will reward you with increased Bank.
  • Air Suspension will now appear more frequently within Shipments.
  • Slightly increased REP and Bank for finishing an event outside of first place.
  • Decreased the time it takes for new parts to appear in Tune-Up shops, down from 30mins to 10mins.
  • Increased rate in which parts are rewarded within Ranked Speedlists.

On the one hand, they didn’t really have to in this case. On the other, when your game is named Need for Speed Payback, you just gotta go fast, eh?
