I’m an F2P player in this game, driver level is at 170+, and since then had relied on events for cars plus items. Here’s what I’ve noted so far:
•Lack of Speedsters
Unless you won’t pay, you’ll get so-so speedsters. You won’t be able to get limited or brand speedsters (which can cost a lot of money to obtain them at gacha) and upgrading them can cost quite a LOT. The most decent speedsters I have would be the Blade and Porsche 911, and the Porsche can’t even bring enough wins for you.
•Supporters and Interceptors
Trust me, you’ll get a lot of decent supporters and interceptors even without spending real money. Some noteworthy vehicles would be the Singularity (personal fave) and the BMWi8. BMW vehicles works quite well for some maps, and the Ford’s intercepting skills can destroy a whole lot of the other side’s momentum. Sometimes though, I’ve witnessed these two car roles to even surpass paid speedsters (in terms of match ranking).
•Outfits
Recently, the game released outfits with seriously cool animations and accessories. They’re also paid. So unless you don’t want boring outfits without cool effects, pay.
•Car Wraps and Rims
Events can give you blue or purple wraps, but the yellow ones are paid (these ones have effects).
•Car Items (Parts and ECUs)
I obtained most of these during events and store purchases (using in-game currency), and most of the time in ticket gachas. My advice: just play a lot of matches.
OVERALL:
You can still enjoy the game without paying. Events are fun to complete, and what are matches without some thrill from P2W players? They’re fast, who doesn’t want to play with someone who’s really fast? They can even give you an advantage at winning a match.
