Euro Truck Simulator 2 - Beginner's Guide (Part 1)

[Music] welcome to euro truck simulator 2. this will be a guide for beginners who have just started the game starting off as this is the very start of the game the first goal is to get your own truck as you don't yet have a truck you can only do quick jobs try to pick jobs that start and or stop at cities you haven't been to before though the largest cash award is priority when visiting cities drive in front of areas that have a question mark on the gps this will allow you to discover recruiting agencies and other truck dealers when you level up you can assign skill points that help you make more money per delivery we recommend you level up the long distance skill first but we'll talk about it more in the next video perform quick jobs until you receive an in-game email from both the bank and from the truck dealer for your preferred truck design you'll likely be level 1 or 2 at most when this happens [Music] your first truck though you could purchase any truck you want you want to make your life as easy as possible this means getting a truck that isn't too expensive around 100 000 euros and can be used for as long as possible a truck with around 300 horsepower and around 1 800 engine torque first go to the bank via the menus on the bank's email and take out the 100 000 euro alone now go to the truck dealer buy the truck this should leave you with a little bit of money to help cover loan installments fuel costs and possible repairs at the start of the next phase the freight market now that you have a truck you can pick up jobs from the freight market instead of quick jobs you should try to get to this point as quickly as you can as freight market is much more profitable than quick jobs select the city you are in and select the job that gives the best rewards we recommend sorting by price per distance however also look at the distance the job requires this is shown at the top right of the map when you select the job at the start this isn't very important but later the distance you'll need to travel will also dictate the number of rest stops you must do along the way it is entirely possible and up to you to deactivate having to take rest breaks in the settings also check the time the job offer is for if the offer is only valid for a few minutes then you may not be able to get to the job pickup point before the offer expires now set the gps destination to this job and drive or fast travel over to the pickup point you don't yet have the job just where to go get it once at the pickup point drive over and stop on the floating green icon and press the activate key verify that the job is still there it'll be the one with the gps icon on it select it and click take job drive up to the trailer and back your truck nice and slow until you can attach the trailer the gps display will indicate when you are in the right spot you can press the 5 key or move your view out of the driver's side window to look behind you or for an extra challenge try only using the mirrors alternatively you can press the 3 key to have a clear bird's eye view of your truck while you're back to pick up the trailer attach the trailer then follow the gps to your destination just like you did for the quick jobs [Music] when at your final destination at the floating green icon you can complete the delivery it then gives you the trailer delivery options dropping the trailer off where the client wants it gives you 500 xp this can take some serious difficult maneuvering so you can also use the play safe option giving you 100 xp these xp boosts can be useful at the start of the game to level up quicker and gain skill points quicker however further in the game we usually choose to skip the trailer parking every once in a while head to the closest repair shop and fix your truck even if you haven't had any accidents your truck especially the tires will wear down a bit just from normal use so maintaining your truck is important now pick up another job in this new city don't forget to drive around the place to discover truck dealers and recruiting agencies continue doing jobs until you receive an email from the bank saying that you can help expand your business and that you are consistently getting jobs that pay 10 000 euros or more this will take you to about level 3. make sure to watch part 2 of this ets 2 beginners guide to learn exactly how to use skill assignment
