Happy Halloween to you all! It is the time of year for transporting ghoulish goods across both the US and Europe.
As tradition bids, SCS Software have their usual Halloween hauling event going in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. This year the challenge if you’re connected to their World of Trucks service and using external contracts is to move 13 loads of Halloween cargo between cities of your choice in order to get a couple of nice in-game rewards.
I thought a certain company was headquartered in Prague, not in the US. Maybe it’s the local branch office?
I am not sure if this is something that was added recently, but this is as far as I can recall the first time I’ve got stuck behind a slow-moving tractor in American Truck Simulator.
The location is a highway in Arkansas, by the way.
SCS Software have released their Arkansas DLC and it’s time for a longer review of it.
Right in time for their launch of the Arkansas DLC, SCS Software has added yet another truck to the American Truck Simulator stable.
This time it is the Mack Pinnacle which will join the line-up of Mack Anthem trucks ingame and is a free addition to the game. It will show up as soon as the 1.51 version of the game is installed.
The Mack Pinnacle will be available in all the classic three cabin variants (Day Cab, 48-inch Flat Top Sleeper and 70-inch StandUp Sleeper), several chassis and length options (6×2, 6×2 Liftable Pusher and 6×4), and with three engine options ranging from 415hp to 505hp.
Introduced in 2006, the Pinnacle is the successor of the Mack Vision. Currently, the product line is sold in the United States and Canada even if a similar version also is marketed in parts of South America.
In addition to the Mack Pinnacle, the 1.51 patch of the game will also add the Limited Edition Mack Black Anthem®, which sports a blacked-out exterior trim package and other additional interior features. In the real world only 500 of this version was made, so it will definitely be easier to get your hands on it ingame where it will be available at all Mack salespoints.
It’s time for the annual Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator Valentines event again. This time your personal goal requires 14 finished deliveries of Valentines Presents cargo in order to qualify for the World of Trucks Achievement and get a nice little cabin item.
The formal rules are as follows:
Using External Contracts, with a World of Trucks-connected profile in Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator or both, the community goal is to achieve 600,000 deliveries of Valentine Presents cargo, from any city in any trucking territory.
When a player completes 14 deliveries of Valentine Presents cargo across any trucking territories in either game, it will complete their personal goal.
Rewards
In order to qualify for any community reward, you must complete at least your personal goal in Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator or both. Each reward will be a Steam inventory item for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Once completed, claim your reward in the Events page on your World of Trucks profile.
The event will be concluded on Sunday the 18th of February at 23:59 UTC.
It is Christmas time again, which means it is also time for the annual tradition of hauling Christmas gifts in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator.
This year SCS Software has freshened up the tradition a bit by adding a whole new dimension to it. Literally another dimension. Because this time good are to be transported to and from Santa’s Winterland itself by the means of traversing through one of the many dimensional portals strategically put up on rest stops, refueling points and the likes.
The Winterland itself is as the name hints a very wintery place indeed with lots of snow and Christmas feeling. Also watch out, the roads are not only looking snowy – they make for snow driving when it comes to road grip too.
As usual goods deliveries made in ETS2 and ATS add up together, so if you have both games you don’t have to do all the work twice in order to get the achievements and rewards for both.
It’s that spooky time of the year again and as is tradition, SCS Software’s yearly Halloween event is running in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2.
As usual if you own both games the Halloween deliveries you do in both games add up together, so you don’t have to do the full thirteen deliveries in both.
Somewhat surprisingly SCS Software has now revealed the latest American Truck Simulator map DLC in their production pipeline. And it is somewhat surprising because it turned out to be Arkansas. It seems the two Dakotas will have to wait a bit longer.
In my personal opinion I think going with Arkansas after Nebraska makes sense in that it moves us a bit further east. I’m sure there are very nice things to discover in both South and North Dakota too, but there is a risk that it becomes a little too much midwest at once.
SCS Software has now set a date for the release of the Oklahoma map DLC for American Truck Simulator. It will be available from August 1.
