The most hilarious rides in Wreckfest

The most hilarious rides in Wreckfest

LAWNMOWER The very first challenge to overcome in Wreckfest is the perfect introduction to the game's concept: Driving exclusively lawnmowers, about 20 contestants are thrown into an arena to literally wreck one another as often as possible within a set time frame. But this is certainly not as dull as it might sound: The vehicle itself is tricky to maneuver and only nimble navigators evade the charges of the other drivers. SOFA CAR The lawnmower is a funny concept, but, frankly, it ranks among the least far-fetched ones compared to other rides in the game. At least that's an actual vehicle! However, you will have to unlock the Sofa Car to grasp the full extent of Wreckfest's madness. Besides, you know, being a piece of furniture on wheels, the aspect of its rear wheel drive makes this "car" quite hard to steer. As it unsurprisingly doesn't score too highly in sturdiness either, only real Wreckfest pros will make the Sofa Car work in the arena. HARVESTER Jumping from one extreme to the next, we present to you one of the most robust vehicles in Wreckfest: the Harvester! Yes, the game will let you drive an actual combine harvester – a quite authentic one even, aside from the stylish graffiti. Mind you, this machine is far from turning the game into an agriculture simulation – threshing corn is significantly less its expertise than crunching metal is. As this suggests, the Harvester is tons of fun to play, even though quite bulky and slow in the turns. SUPERVAN One of the smallest and most nimble cars in the game is the three-wheeled Supervan. Not particularly sturdy, but all the more speedy, this little fellow specializes in evading heavy collisions and Wreckfest-predators like the Harvester. Ironically, it is also the obligatory car in the truck race challenge that will unlock the Big Rig if completed successfully. As you're pretty much playing as a mouse at the feet of Godzilla, this is definitely one of the harder challenges to succeed at, but all the more rewarding once you've done it. MOTORHOME Home, sweet home! The ultimate place of peace and safety receives a slightly abstract touch in Wreckfest. Even beside the "assertive" artworks on the livery, the in-game camper is far from its original purpose in the real world. As one of the game's heavier representatives, it transports dents and cracks rather than a comfortable living room. Admittedly, the Wreckfest iteration is also extremely enjoyable – and with its moderate bulkiness and maneuverability, an excellent compromise for the crashing arena. SCHOOL BUS Many of us know and appreciate buses for their obvious service in public transport. However, Wreckfest sheds light on an entirely different quality of the well-known servants of the commutes: ramming opponents into submission! The school bus model finds its way into the unconventional racing game and presents lovely graffiti while instructing its opponents in the "school of demolition". We give developer Bugbear Entertainment an A+ for both the idea and its execution. DOUBLE DECKER An honorable mention in this list is the Double Decker. This absurd-looking monstrosity is as impractical as its name suggests: two cars piled on top of each other. In real life, this might have the pragmatic benefit of fitting more passengers inside, but then that's not exactly the goal of Wreckfest, is it? For our lovely crashing fiesta, the Double Decker probably has exactly one purpose: offering more surface to demolish. And that's exactly what we do with it! BUMPER CAR The Bumper Car could be seen as the Supervan's cousin and is therefore another member of the category "small and speedy". While this nimble little car takes us all back to fair visits in our childhood, it is thrown into quite different scenery in Wreckfest. Seeming a little bit out of place among all the Big Rigs and Harvesters and their torn-out metal, the Bumper Car is all the more fun to drive and sneaks its way through the mess. As part of the Retro Rammers car pack, this little guy is either bought or obtained through the season pass. HONEYPOT Wreckfest reaches its absolute pinnacle of curiosity with our next candidate: the Honeypot. While the name is a slight euphemism, this one is really just a port-a-potty on wheels – and we love it. As unstable and impractical as this vehicle is for either racing or crashing it, nothing beats the fun of a multiplayer round with all of your friends rolling around in mobile toilets. This definite highlight with the charming toilet paper roll can be obtained in the Backwoods Bangers car pack or alternatively through the season pass. BUGGY (CUSTOMIZED) As if all the hilarious rides in Wreckfest weren't enough, the game offers a variety of customization options for its players to pimp their vehicles even more. This – in addition to mods if you're up to it – gives you absolute freedom in terms of liveries and chassis and therefore the perfect precondition for asserting your place in the arena. A highlight of ours is this Buggy with the stylish Minecraft goggles by Team Black and Green Wreckfest.

Virtual racing comes in various shapes and genres. While simulation racing and esports occupy one end of the scale, arcade and fun racers lie on the opposite side – and somewhere between the two, there is room for the craziest iterations. This wide-ranging and diverse space in the middle is exactly where you’ll find Wreckfest. The unconventional concept of THQ Nordic’s racing game stays true to its name: Instead of realistic virtual racing, it sets the focus on realistic virtual crashing above anything else. Throwing a number of players and bots into an arena, the game gives way to the ultimate demolition party and loads of fun in between crooked metal and squealing tires.

But unleashing their rage isn’t all the game offers to players: As they score points by raining chaos and destruction on their AI opponents, every mastered challenge unlocks more and more vehicles to use for the wrecking. Even if it weren’t for the countless customization options, the rides are quite unusual and deserve a dedicated highlight reel: Here are our favorite, craziest vehicles in Wreckfest!

Even without further DLC content, Wreckfest isn’t short on exciting options for racing – and crashing – in terms of vehicles and arenas. Especially the multiplayer mode adds a worthwhile feature that makes the game perfect for winding down after a packed day of esports racing. With that being said, it’s time to buckle up and enjoy your very own wreckfest!
