This would be the game’s second event centered on acknowledging the drivers and support crews involved inCOVID-19 relief effortsduring the pandemic. Previously, SCS hosted an event in March last year and invited the game’s players to engage in the Truck At Home event. In the event, players drove trucks with needed financial support and supplies to people working on the front lines of the pandemic. The player community’s response was overwhelmingly positive, which was more than SCS had anticipated.
That positivity served as the inspiration for the current Hauling Hope event going on in the game about deliveringCOVID-19 relief aid. This time, players will be delivering the precious yet fragile cargo in trucks to the select locations but they must reach them undamaged. However, this is still part of a game so there are rules that players will need to follow while participating.
Players can participate in the event by using what’s called External Contracts with eitherEuro Truck Simulator 2,American Truck Simulatoror both. The goal is for players to make a minimum of 7 undamaged cargo deliveries ofthe COVID-19 vaccinesacross any trucking territories. As part of the event, the cargo possesses a zero-damage tolerance, and players need a level 1 Fragile Cargo skill to carry any of it.
Players will be rewarded with a World of Trucks achievement and the Hope Trucker insignia cabin item that players can hang inside their trucks. Ultimately, SCS Software’s goal for the Hauling Hope event is to not only make moreAmerican Truck Simulatorcontentbut to spread some hope to people in these hard times, while encouraging players to stay safe, healthy, and optimistic.
