Where to find the Motorboat Mayhem trial
Before starting the trial, you have to know where to find it. Luckily, it’s easy to locate — and you’re able to find it on the island just north of Misty Meadows. When you jump out of the plane, initiate your glider right away to get a sense of where your enemies will be landing. If the coast is clear, go ahead and land on the little island where the trial is located (shown in the image above). If you see enemies making their way to this location, you might want to glide to a different nearby location to stay clear of the other players. If you’re confident in your ability, then go ahead and take them out.
Either way, you’ll find a handful of boats nearby, so hop in and pass through the checkpoint with an image of a clock and two paddles, located on the northwestern side of this island. Passing through the checkpoint will start the trial, which will require you to collect or go through all eight orbs in this area.
How to complete the Motorboat Mayhem trial
This trial is actually quite difficult because you don’t have much time to complete it, and since the boat isn’t as precise as you might hope, you’re going to have to be pretty much flawless with your driving. In essence, it works like you’d expect: Go through all the checkpoints in the allotted time. There is a recommended path, which is depicted in the image above. The path you should take is shown in red, with the circular portion representing your starting position and the arrow being the end.
Here are the recommended steps you should take to get through all eight checkpoints in time:
If you follow this path, you should have fewer issues collecting all the checkpoints in time. Remember to use the path we outlined above for guidance.
Tips for completing the Motorboat Mayhem trial
It’ll probably take you a few tries, but you’ll eventually get this one with a little luck and some skill. If you fail, you may always restart, but we recommend paying attention to the circle, as well as other enemies who will likely attempt to take you out if they see you cruising around on a boat. The longer you spend here, the likelier it is you’ll get caught in the storm or by another enemy. The challenge is hard enough as it is without enemies shooting at you.
You’ll also want to keep an eye out for the nearby sharks that will also try taking you out. If they hit the boat, you’ll be knocked off, so try to maneuver around them to avoid any unnecessary issues. If you keep trying, your boat will run out of fuel. If this happens, remember to grab another boat or grab some fuel from the nearby station. It’s also a good idea to head back to the start if you miss one of the checkpoints since the time frame you have to work with is slim as it is. You’ll have to drive back to the starting point to restart the challenge.
As with most weekly challenges, you’ll get 35,000 XP for this one and the satisfaction of knowing you beat one of the tougher weekly challenges.
