Rainy night run
Drive a delivery of at least 300 km at night, in the rain, and send us your best screenshot from the road.
Darker evenings are here, and rain at night is when lights, wipers and reflections matter most. Take it slow and enjoy it.
What to do
- Take any job of 300 km or more that starts in the evening, so most of it runs after dark. Quick jobs and freight market both count.
- Wait for rain, or use the console to bring it on:
g_set_weather 1 f(needs console/dev mode). Switch off automatic wipers if you use a rain mod. - Drive with dipped headlights, keep to the limits and take a screenshot with F10 when the moment looks right: spray from a lorry ahead, a wet city street, or lights on the motorway.
- Send the screenshot with the form below. Tell us which mods you used, if any.
No mods? No problem: the game's own rain and night look good too. Turn the graphics settings up as far as your PC allows; reflections make the biggest difference on wet roads.
Suggested mods
Optional. They make it look and feel the part; the challenge works without them.
