We’re back for another entry in our The Long Game series, where we go over things you can invest in early in games that pay off in the long run. This time, we’re traveling to a galaxy far, far away for Star Wars: Galactic Racer, the new racing game from Fuse Games.
First, we should start with the basics. Galactic Racer gives you three vehicles to choose from, and they come with very different strengths and weaknesses. You can upgrade all three, but it pays to understand which stats are important for each vehicle, especially to prepare you for the more difficult challenges that await later in the game.
There are both temporary and permanent upgrades, and throughout the single-player campaign, you’ll get a random set of three to choose from. Certain multiplayer modes also let you choose from random sets of temporary upgrades, but permanent ones are exclusive to the campaign.
Upgrades cost tuning points, which are basically Galactic Racer’s version of skill points, and the cost goes up each time you upgrade. You can respec your allocated points, so you won’t get stuck with an unoptimized vehicle, but these are the upgrades we recommend focusing on for each vehicle.
The Landspeeder is your standard, well-balanced vehicle. It has easy handling and high defense against collisions, whether you’re hitting the walls of the track or being attacked by your fellow racers. Since it’s naturally balanced, we recommend you focus on upgrades that allow for a little more creativity during races.
That starts with upgrading the Afterburner, which affects your acceleration, deceleration, and boost power. It allows you to boost more frequently and hit a higher top speed, and the benefit of being able to go faster in a race should be pretty obvious. We also recommend upgrading the Ramjet for basically the same reason, it’ll get you higher top speeds.
Lastly, it’s a good idea to upgrade the Battery, which determines how often you’re able to activate your abilities. Since the Landspeeder has such balanced stats, it lends itself to a wide variety of different abilities.
The Speeder Bike is the smallest of the vehicles, but it also has the fastest acceleration and a special Kinetic Burst that gives you an extra boost when you come out of a drift. We recommend leaning into that and creating your build around it.
