Summary

LEGO 2K Drivelets players loose inan open-world sandboxwhere they can explore and discover at their own pace. As they traverse Bricklandia, they will encounter missions, mini-games and races that can get quite challenging, particularly the A-Class races. Completing difficult quests for the lovable characters across the three massive maps or discovering hidden areas with secret collectibles will quickly reward racers with a slew of perks that they can equip, one perk for each rank they have unlocked.

As only three perks can be selected and equipped at once, it can be hard to know which perks make for an effective build, especially when each of the three vehicle types that players can drive will have very different stats. Making sure that perks match with the selected Off-Road, Street, and Water vehicles will go a long way to winning players the Sky Cup. For those looking for the bestLEGO 2K Drivebuild possible, here arethe best perksto use when trying to get racers ahead of the competition.

7Sacrificial Boosting

Boost Is Enhanced, But Health Suffers When Boosting

Boosting is a hugely important part ofwinning races inLEGO 2K Drive. While it can be difficult to build the boost meter, when drivers do boost, they have a chance to quickly rocket to the front. Sacrificial Boosting makes the boost meter last longer and pushes vehicles to an even faster top speed.

Players should be careful, though, as boosting for too long with this perk will lower their health and may lead to them wrecking their vehicles. It might be best to pair this perk with heavier vehicles that have more health and better handling so that boosting is less dangerous and can be used effectively to take the lead.

6Wheel Of Peace

Can’t Use Power-Ups But Take Less Damage From All Sources

For those choosing to drive infaster and lighter cars, having low health will lead to a lot of mid-race wrecks. While flying ahead should offer some protection from heavier vehicles, the Wheel of Peace perk will mean that players can withstand anything those in second and third place throw their way.

Although it does stop drivers from using any power-ups and weapons themselves, this perk works exceptionally for builds aiming to get in first and stay there, giving a huge health boost and a sturdier ride.

5Healing Drifts

Can Only Heal When Drifting, But The Drift Meter Fills Faster

Healing and repairing the car to keep it from wrecking for as long as possible poses a constant challenge to expert drivers inLEGO 2K Drive.Driving through destructible LEGO itemsis the most effective way to get health quickly, and Healing Drifts is a perk that means that health can only be acquired during a drift.

For newcomers, this may make races more difficult or result in more wrecks, but it will pose no real threat to seasoned racers who are drifting through most of the racetracks. The increased boost recharge can make a huge difference, letting players boost and brickbash faster and more often.

4Healing Bash

Heal When Brickbash Or Quickbash Is Triggered

The ability to Brickbash is unlocked with B Class races and uses up all of a player’s boost rapidly to increase top speed, acceleration, and melee damage when hitting other drivers. It is an invaluable tool to make up for lost time and to claw victory back after wrecking one’s car.

Healing Bash, then, is a great choice for any kind of vehicle build - whenever racers use their high-risk, high-reward ability, they will also geta burst of healing. This means that any damage they might take from hitting corners or colliding with obstacles on the track will be negated by their full-health car.

3Melee Boost

Increases Impact Force

When power-ups are scarce, knocking other drivers out of the race can be difficult. Heavier cars could struggle to make it to the front without a way to demolish the competition, and lighter cars will likely bebashed and drifted intotime and time again.

For those looking to bulk up their build and crash through cars the same way they crash through the scenery, Melee Boost is an obvious choice. It can be equipped early into the game as a C-slot perk, making for a destructive first few races.

2Top Speed Boost

Increase Top Speed

In any class of vehicle, especially any Water vehicles and those with fast acceleration, it can often feel like players are lagging behind when they hit the fastest speed available to them. While drifting around the corners and looking for shortcuts, it can help to have a little more oomph in one’s ride.

The Top Speed Boost perk means that light cars can zoom ahead, and heavy cars can get an edge on their bulkier rivals. Accelerating may take longer, but the maximum speed increase means that those using it will be able to overtake their opponents with ease. This incredibly useful perk is unlocked early and can happily carry drivers through the whole game.

1Acceleration Boost

Increases Acceleration

Getting up to maximum speed means that players will need to maneuver across the track, avoiding obstacles and hazards. As rewarding as it can be to push vehicles to their limit inLEGO 2K Drive, a strong acceleration affords more room for racers to breathe and to experiment.

The Acceleration Boost perk is one of the first to be unlocked, and it can be a lifesaver for light and heavy (and super-heavy) vehicles alike. As a C-slot perk, it leaves room for more customization with the other perks and can give drivers the constant push they need to slide into first place and recover quickly from any wrecks or crashes.
