So last night I watched a video by a YouTube I quite like, The Spiffing Brit. He normally breaks grand-strategy games, but this was a bit different:
In the video he shows how you can very easily and very quickly level up in Steam by doing exactly what Steam wants you to do with the Grand Prix sale meta-game.
By doing the same easy tasks in games as listed, you can rack up a huge number of boost points to spend in leveling up your Grand Prix badge. This in turn will level up your profile very quickly. And some of these in-game tasks are so easy and so easily exploitable that you can effectively farm Steam levels.
So I tried it for a bit, and managed to level up my Steam account from level 16 to level 50 in a matter of like 15 minutes.
Donāt know if anyone has seen or tried this, but there is no tasks that you are doing that is against the rules of Steam. Ultimately you do exactly what Steam wants.
These levels can also be transformed in additional discounts, so effectively if you play the meta-game correctly, you can actually get a lot of free discounts on games.
Personally, Iād rather get a R35 discount voucher. Anyone know if Iād have to use it before the sale ends? And could you get multiple vouchers? And use them all at the same time?
Start playing in a single player game, or a multiplayer game where you are the host/admin.
Type
/admin
Make sure the system message says that you have been given admin privileges, and not that they have been taken. If they have been taken away, just type /admin again.
Type:
/spawnitem soda 9999 ā{āmaxStackā:9999}ā
A soda will spawn wherever your cursor was.
Drink the Soda to earn 10 points in the Steam Summer Sale.
To repeat this easily, in case you run out of Sodas, just press Up while in the textbox and then enter, the command will be repeated.
Alternatively, just change the number after soda and the one after āmaxStackā: to something higher, thereās probably not a real limit: I just put 9999 to be safe.
Also watched it but not really an exploit.
As for the points i think we all have enough games with achievement points that you will have enough point to last the whole sale.
Unless you buy a ton of games just so you can have more points to spend for more levels up just to bloat your profile.
I got it doing two point hospital. One get 10 points per patient cured. and most of my hospitals are done so was super easy just had to wait few mins for bunch of patient to be cured.
Thatās what Iām doing as well. Only have played to the 2nd or 3rd hospital, but have it running on the other screen and just clicking through the annual awards thing whenever I notice it. Cured almost 1000 patients so far.
I do not. But only because I have no idea what that is I havenāt opened the game since the first month after it was released. For no other reason than I simply forgot about it with all the other games around. Will have a look at playing a little more, seeing as how Iām remembering just how much fun it actually is, and how Iāve now got it reinstalled.
