Enduro Double Down, also known as EDD for short, officially stylized as ENDURO Double Down, and officially called an Enduro DD by Gameloft's social networks [1] and by some players, is a special series of events available starting with the Enduro Update. The announcement made by Gameloft - Prove you can withstand till the very end in an ever-changing, tough, daring challenge. Double or nothing is the way to go! Risk your progress in order to win BIG! - sets that it is similar to the Research & Development events with a series of challenges to complete.

Enduro Double Down events involve a story where a professional racer or a group of professional racers holds the car at stake and challenges the player to a series of races featuring merciless racers. The actual stories vary with each event.

EDD Elements[]

EDD Overview
EDD Rewards Screen
Enduro Points
The basic principle of Enduro Double Down is that the player has to collect Enduro Points (EP; Enduro Points). Leading up to the boss vehicle as the final reward for the challenge, several points increments award the player other rewards: Credits, Tokens, Pro Boxes, Blueprints (as of the Car Blueprints Update), and 2 of the 8 other Enduro Vehicles used in the challenge. In the case of the initial run of the Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package's EDD, Blueprints for other Porsche cars are awarded instead.
Each race won earns the player an (increasing) amount of EP.

  • Finish position: X (3, 2, or 1)
  • Flat Spins: X
  • Flat Spins in One Jump: X
  • Barrel Rolls: X
  • Knockdowns: X
  • Knockdowns without Wreck: X
  • Total Air Time: X s

  • KNOCK DOWN THE MOST CARS (Finish FIRST in a Knockdown race)
  • Perfect Runs: X
  • Perfect Nitro: X
  • No Wrecks
  • Beat the Ace Racer! (Finish FIRST in an Ace Race)
In EDD, all types of races can be found – Classic, Flawless, Unplugged, Infected, Elimination, Knockdown, Time Attack, Gate Drift, and Versus (Ace Race), except for Tag Racing & Grand Finale.
Ace Race
The points accumulated after each successful challenge are not saved automatically: they can only be banked after winning an Ace Race, a versus race against an orange-colored ghost AI named the "ACE RACER" similar to R&D's Ultimate AI Challenge which comes up at the end of each Tier.
Double Down
After the Ace Race comes the option to select from one of three choices:
  • Safe – save the amount of EP earned so far (free)
  • Double – take a risk to get the double amount of EP earned in the next set of races until the next Ace Race (free)
  • Double Down – save the EP earned AND get the double EP for the next races (cost Tokens)
Tier
The set of races that ends with each Ace Race is called tier and varies from 4- to 9-race long. An Ace Race is always run with the vehicle at stake.
EDD Invitations
If a challenge is failed, the player must start again from challenge 1. If the player chose the Safe or Double Down option after the last Ace Race, the EP that were accumulated until then will have been saved. If the Double option was selected, all EP earned since the player last chose one of the safe options will have been lost. An invitation is then required to begin a new streak; on the other hand, spending tokens is required in order to retry or auto-pass any failed challenges.
When an invitation is used, the player can start the streak with either no bonus (free) or by doubling (costs Tokens). As of the Lunar New Year 2017 Update, invitations always start with no bonus.
Enduro Vehicles
In each Enduro Double Down event, there are nine Enduro Vehicles: the boss vehicle and eight other vehicle. The first four (sorting by class) are the "low end" vehicles, while the last five (including the boss vehicle) are the "high end" vehicles. Two of the eight other Enduro Vehicle are rewarded for banking Enduro Points.
There are a few rules regarding Enduro Vehicles:
  1. There has to be at least three and at most four cars in the same class as the boss vehicles.
  2. Enduro Cars cannot be reused in later EDD events unless the EDD event the car was initially featured in was canceled (e.g. 1967 Chevrolet Impala EDD). In this case, the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 was already featured in the Weber Faster One's EDD event, so it was not playable in the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV's EDD event, but would again be made playable in the Zenvo ST1's EDD.
  3. In Enduro Double Down events from the 1967 Chevrolet Impala's canceled EDD onwards, the boss car is always an Elite Car. Some events may feature additional Elite Vehicles.
  4. In the later phases of the Enduro Double Down event, the two cheapest cars (in terms of purchasing [except with tokens or licenses], maxing out, and Pro Kits) or the two lowest-ranked Enduro Vehicles are swapped out with the two most expensive ones (in the same terms) or the two highest-ranked non-boss Enduro Vehicles. For example, in the EDD for the Aston Martin One-77, the Aston Martin DB9 Coupé (Credits 357,670 (21,750 + 265,900 + 70,020)) and Aston Martin V12 Zagato (Credits 372,448 (57,500 + 265,900 + 49,048)) (both low-end Class B cars) are replaced with the Pagani Huayra and Peugeot Onyx (both Class S cars).
  5. At least one of the other Enduro Cars in the event is always an expensive tokens-purchasable car. This can include cars from Research & Development and Championships, as well as Blueprint-unlockable cars.
However, those patterns have been broken or altered as of the Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package's EDD:
  1. The Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package is the only car in its class: Class S.
  2. The Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR-X was in the EDD for the BXR Bailey Blade GT1, repeating old cars. This rule can be broken if a car is revived from a past EDD whose boss car is now unlockable with Blueprints but was released in an update prior to the Porsche Update.
  3. All of the featured Porsches (959, 718 Boxster S, Cayman GT4, and GT3 RS) can only be obtained by Blueprints and other than that, all cars can be bought with credits.
  4. The event has no reward cars and instead features Porsche BP boxes that grant at least 3 Porsche 918 Spyder with Weissach Package BPs while also granting BPs for the other Porsche cars (in the initial run; reward cars are given in the re-run).
  5. The "low end" cars are still used even from the second difficulty shift onwards, but no longer appear at the last three Tiers, regardless of whether or not the player has saved their EP.
In addition, the Elite requirement for the Boss car since the Impala/Aventador SV EDD was broken by the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition, as the 918 was the last Elite Vehicle added to the game until Hyundai i30 N, whose event type was a R&D.
Opponents and Difficulty Shifts
The races become more difficult as the event progresses - within one streak, the longer you progress, the higher the rank the opposition cars will have, and the difficulty increases; the rank of your opponent in a given level will not remain the same during the whole event.
The difficulty will shift twice during the event, once around 7,000 (give or take 2,000), and a second time around 19,000 (give or take 3,000).
With the first shift, the Ace Race 1 is replaced by the Ace Race 2, Ace Race 2 gets replaced with Ace Race 3 and so on. But depending on the event, the new streak can start even with Ace Race 3 or higher. The second shift raises the difficulty in the very same manner. Apart from this, each shift also raises the difficulty of the Enduro challenges, while also exchanging some of the cars needed to complete the challenges (see the "Enduro cars" paragraph).
Parts of this analysis is based on sample challenge list from ungeekiness.com.

General Tips[]

  • If the player avoids the challenges for a particular vehicle early on in the EDD, the game may end up giving them a choice with both races using the same vehicle later on.
  • If a failed race is auto-passed, the same race may appear again.
  • Avoid Flawless races as much as possible, especially those combined with a Beat A Race Time goal or when using motorcycles or other vehicles with wide steering and drifting ratio, unless the goal is simply "No Wrecks", in which the player can drive at a reduced pace to ensure a guaranteed safe finish.
  • Having upgraded most of the cars featured in the event will be very beneficial.
  • It is highly recommended to tune up all Elite Vehicles involved in an event (especially if the boss vehicle is also Elite) after a few races to avoid running the risk of doing a race in a vehicle with a red condition bar.
    • If the boss car is also elite, avoid non-Ace Races that involve it.
  • In Elimination races that does not require the player to win, throwing the race (by purposely being in last place to cause an elimination once the required task is met, if any exists) can help save time.

Trivia[]

  • The Multiplayer League format introduced in the Multiplayer League Update is based on Enduro Double Down, with a few noticeable differences.
  • EDD Ace Racer AIs are actually Ghost Racers. They are colored golden instead of blue.
    • Vehicles unlockable through EDD display golden Ghost Racers in Career Mode as well, instead of blue Ghost Racers, which most other vehicles display. Similar behavior exist with the McLaren and Porsche Championship cars (prior to the Munich Update) which feature red Ghost Racers and BMW M2 Special Edition which features a purple color.
      • The Lightning LS-218 departs from this trend and would be the last vehicle to be launched with an EDD event. EDD events were discontinued after the 2019 Spring Update.
