Midwest | Storyline Missions The Crew Guide
Last update: 21 October 2016
Midwest - long kilometers of plains, Ozark mountains, Great Lakes and Mississippi river. This is where the "Motor City", i.e. Detroit is. This is where club 5-10 and Chicago are, as well as the adorable Saint Louis. This is where street cars reign, ideal for races in cities and on Great Plains. In Detroit there is the Midwest HQ, the dealer and the tuning garage for street cars. Below, I present hints for the individual missions here.
A little nudge
In this mission, you need to destroy the opponent's car. To do this, you simply need to bump into it. This may be trifle difficult. Try to keep at a short distance, and when there is, around 1:30 mins left, the opponent drives into a formation that resembles a crater. He is driving right. It is an ideal situation to cut him off, which will ensure you with completion of the mission.
Shortcuts: cash injection
Shortcut no. I: the side road between points 2 and 3.
Shortcut no. II: The ramp past point 4.
Railway tracks
Shortcut no. III: Railway tracks before point 6
Escape
In the "Escape" mission, you need to escape from the chasing police. It is easy to lose them, by passing under the building in the above screenshot. To get to it, at the beginning of the mission drive ahead and you spot it on your right.
As soon as you pass under the building, the police may get confused for a moment. This is not the end of the mission though, because there are patrols at the other side of the building and the confused units will soon resume their pursuit. If you play your cards well, you complete this mission within a minute.
Making a ghost
In the mission in which you need to defeat the V2, do not cross the tracks, at the beginning and drive alongside them.
Slow down before you enter the intersection. After the V2 approaches, slam into it. You will require several attempts, to time it well, but you will succeed eventually. If you have the weaker car, you can try to collide head on.
Turf war
To get good results in "Turf war" you need to straighten bends as much as possible. The situation of checkpoints does not require you to enter turns perfectly. Still, watch out for curbs that make your car jump. Keep that in mind and take the turn earlier, than on a smooth surface.
XFINITY Speed challenge
In XFINITY you drive a circuit car. It is not that easy to handle. What is the highest merit here is patience. Do not accelerate on turns and do not use nitro boost too often. One mistake here does not rule out your chances of succeeding, because the race is long.
Friend Till' the End
In this mission, you need to escape from Troy's crew. It is similar to escaping the police. The best way to lose enemies is to search out narrow alleyways between buildings and posts. Also, you can drive into the forest.
Shortcut: Omar
In "Omar" you drive an off-road car. Towards the end of the race, between the fifth checkpoint and the finish line, GPS is leading you out to the asphalt road. Still, go left, up the path, best by using nitro boost, to reach the finish line faster.
Shortcut: Overpower
In this one, the checkpoints are situated in a way that, in theory, allows for cutting many corners. However, the majority of them turn out to be too difficult for a street car. There only is one shortcut that may help you achieve victory. It is at the beginning of the race, past the second checkpoint. Instead of turning left, drive ahead, across the sunflower fields and behind the house.
Crumple zone
This mission is the last one on the Midwest, which is why it has three sub-missions to it. In the first one, you need to eliminate the test driver, do a fast circuit on a track and escape Troy's crew in the last one.
During the pursuit stay at a short distance of the test driver. When there is 1:15 mins left, he will start u-turning to the right. IT is an ideal situation to make both of you meet. As soon as you slam into the car, the mission ends. If you fail, over and over again, you can drive into the starting lane and aim for the head-on with the test driver.
Test drive takes place on an oval racetrack. There are two left turns only, there. You are driving a very fast car so, you need to watch out on turns. Stick to the inward of the track and use Nitro boost on straights.
To escape Troy's crew fast, turn right at the very beginning of the race. This way, you will get to the very racetrack that you have been taking the test circuit on. There, you will be able to gain speed, thanks to which you leave Troy far behind.
