Hero Events
Until now, our EVENTS game mode featured a rotating list of Lead and Chase layouts with weekly leaderboards and rewards. For 0.13, we’re renaming this game mode to HERO EVENTS, and will now feature at least 3 events per week, all with leaderboards and increased rewards!
Lead Events
We all love a Lead Event!
In addition to Hero Events, we’re also introducing a new LEAD EVENTS game mode featuring all our current Lead layouts (48 and counting!), each with its own leaderboard so you can see where you place amongst the best. These leaderboards are lifetime and do not reset or include weekly rewards.
Leaderboards Everywhere
The title says it all! As of 0.13, every timed-game mode will now have a lifetime leaderboard, including Drift Skills and Freestyle! That's 90 leaderboards for you to compete in, plus the 3 weekly Hero Event leaderboards!
To tie it all together we are also introducing a new TOTAL POINT leaderboard, which combines all your leaderboard placement scores across all game modes (excluding Hero Events) into one giant leaderboard! Similar to Lead Events, the Total Point leaderboard does not reset or include weekly rewards.
Better get drifting if you want to get to the top!
