Destroy First Place! - Wreckfest

We play one of our favourite custom 'gamemodes' on Wreckfest, where only the vehicle in first place can be destroyed either by the other racers or a couple of the chaos vehicles. It's all very silly indeed.

[@traviscecil3903]

I like the "Destroy First Place", but too often there's the whole 'no, you first' action. How about a long, long race with "Destroy last place"? Motivate everyone to move it.

[@rhysroberts1935]

Isn't that essentially an elimination race?

[@mgninetyone7444]

It would definitely make it more fun and interesting to watch. Some of the FR members try to lead, but everytime Alex is in the lead/can take the lead, he refuses to do so unfortunately.

[@traviscecil3903]

@@rhysroberts1935 Yes. That's exactly what that is.

[@Myer5Hertz]

What about "Destroy the Podium" and they can target the front three cars. When it gets down to the last 5 they can attack them all.

[@ZerotheWanderer]

I think what should actually happen is, anybody in the lead who pulls out and slams on the brakes should also be targeted too.

[@SRFriso94]

I kind of wish you would do more Wreckfest videos in general, they're always so entertaining, because as you frequently point out, while Wreckfest has a great damage model, it does allow for really close racing, where not every time you bang doors someone goes off into the scenery.

[@JoriDiculous]

Its really entertaining watching them do "proper" racing in Wreckfest. The cars got good enough handling and the damages makes it really fun.

[@ronphil6666]

agreed!

[@ljphoenix4341]

After what Alex said at the end, I have even more appreciation for the effort that goes into these wreckfest videos. Thanks to all the filming crew involved for participating in this, always fun to watch!

[@Lunym]

An idea that i don't know how it's gonna go: - Have a very distinct and far slower than the rest car that's gonna be a "honorary bus team member" their only job is to race. - This car cannot be targeted by both bus or car team. - its only job will be to set a pace or a deadline to the race so no parking lot racing occurs. - if they win, bus team wins. I think this has potential to crate a further balancing game between speed and safety.

[@GuillaumePerronNantel]

It could work well. Another rule should make people behind the slower vehicle targetable so they get punishment for being slow.

[@ArjunaJoshua1]

This is a good idea, but its a very difficult one to implement as the supposedly safe rest car will be a victim of friendly fire as its impossible to control the bus wreckage potential completely.

[@davidmoore1253]

I prefer a "normal" interference race, where the buses can target anyone except last place. Chaotic and competitive.

[@Azirnic]

Always nice to see Ninetales in the lineup

[@agentv1240]

Yeah, I wish Ninetales showed up for more events, because he's not only a damned good driver, but he's entertaining.

[@Azirnic]

@@agentv1240 yeah had lots of memorable Forza builds back in the day aswell

[@DavG_NZ]

@@Azirnic yeah, like the 'point and shoot' cars that Ninetailes could make turn somehow 😂🤣

[@realqxji]

I think this is my favourite game mode on the channel right now. And nice to see Ninetales again.

[@mafiacat4422]

Wreckfest is always a blast to watch! I especially liked watching the tournaments that were done awhile ago.

[@novadestroyerthesundestroy890]

The last race had vibes like: Dangerman, you become what you swore to destroy!

[@davidtt8372]

Me: This kinda reminds me of a bike race Alex: We're doing this bike race style

[@natetwehues2428]

Sure, Alex won the race... But he lost the mighty wing. And is any win without a mighty wing ever truly a victory?

[@troll2637]

7:55 Lonbow's ping is off the roof! 😆

[@longbowxmkii]

I am the furthest away x)

[@crashracer]

Brilliant fun as always! I think the Wreckfest Team Race option would make for great viewing too.

[@gabehowe2778]

I was just rewatching the rest of these yesterday, wondering when the next one was going to come out. Now I have to wonder no longer 😁

[@0ptera]

To make this more interesting stopping should make you a free kill as well.

[@McPoshSquatch]

1st and 8th! Karma for trying to screw everyone else over! Haha. I would make the rule to where you HAVE to go. You can't just sit there at the start of a race. Yeah, that's the cowards way of just sitting there, stopped, brakes on and letting others slam into you or being forced to go around. Definitely needs to be a rule that you're not allowed to do that!

[@mightymacaque]

3rd technically because the buss's won the first race

[@JoriDiculous]

Yeah, Punish the chickens! :D

[@agentcrm]

Great to see another Wreckfest video. Have missed these. If the bus is in the lead you can do a lot of damage to them by T-boning them. More damage is inflicted to the slower car typically.

[@fbritorufino]

An idea to correct for the underwhelming "don't be first" strategy: add an extra bus targeting the healthiest. Another one: for the first third, the buses target the healthiest; for the second, one bus targets the healthiest and the other targets the first; for the third, both target first.

[@periurban]

I like these Wreckfest vids better than anything else on your channel.

[@troll2637]

Fancy seeing ninetails after a long time. I thought that they took a hiatus again.

[@TSkyravin]

“Destroy first and last” would do a lot to prevent the “you first” strat

[@theoakgrovesquirrel3002]

There was a game in the early 2000s called test drive eve of destruction. The best race was called the gauntlet. You had one stronger vehicle trying to make a certain amount of laps while everyone else in weaker cars tries stopping them

[@UltraBlakey]

First race was very cheap Alex 😜😂

[@UltraBlakey]

@@hikikomori9544 I was sort of out for blood but nothing too extreme though 😂

[@UltraBlakey]

@@hikikomori9544 haha

[@mikehyer13]

The old ps2 game- test drive eve of destruction had an event called gauntlet where the player was in a durable hearse and the goal was to survive 5 laps of a circuit with the rest of the pack trying to take you out. Could be great fun with a full pvp lobby

[@DavG_NZ]

lol I remember that game and event (called 'Driven To Destruction' here), I'd just cheese it by driving in reverse for 3-4 laps 😂

[@X33Ultras0und]

For more carnage at higher speeds, try doing destroy 2nd place. 3rd and lower can't cower as you'll be letting first place get a massive lead. Of course though, your objective is to win the race not just survive it.

[@michaelschmitter8725]

I love these. Alex probably won’t see this comment cuz it’s 4ish months after the release of this video. But this game is something similar to what some of my friends used to play on forza 4 we called shepherd. The main difference was when you got in first you ran like your life depended on it. You didn’t just give up first cuz you didn’t want to get hit. That’s where dodging skills comes in handy. I would like to see that rule change. If there was a way to time who was in the lead longest in the event everyone dnf that would be good.

[@patata3219]

Man, i love this game mode

[@57thorns]

One variant to avoid the parking lot race would be a point race. Every lap gives points to the podium (5,2,1 to make the lead worth it). If you DNF you can still win.

[@jamesmchenry4708]

...that has to be the most tense mention of "where is Ninetales?" I've heard you say. X3

[@Innertorium]

Alex I love this scenario. Please do more of these. And GTA cat and mouse.

i felt sad seeing bumpy's car in that second race :(

Alex you should do the buses go for last place upwards. It gives the incentive to drive fast and be front.

[@deerel]

The end of the last race - OMG!

Also Ninetales!

Awesome video. Thanks FailRace.

This was more entertaining then it's allowed too 😅But the chickens should be punsihed! 🚓 I prefer more "proper" racing in Wreckfest, mainly for the crazy damage models :P

[@revenger210]

same! i wish the racefest mod still worked so i could do some offline long and relatively clean races w this awesme damage model

[@mightymacaque]

Oooo, this is a nice surprise.

[@williamdenson5768]

good game lopks very fun!

If only there was a speed mod where you couldn't drop below 50 for longer than 5 seconds.

[@revenger210]

Have you heard of the recent F1 car mod for wreckfest, the Missile R? Maybe a mini tournament in F1 cars in weckfest across various tracks could be a lot of fun!
