Ultimate Guide to Earning Rip Chips and Rip Score in Skate 4

As a multitude of newcomers hits the virtual streets of San Vansterdam, players are eager to demonstrate their skills, rack up substantial multipliers, and claim dominance in the expansive city landscape. The game’s free-to-play model and user-friendly mechanics have attracted a diverse crowd, making the skating experience more accessible than ever. However, uncertainties regarding game mechanics could lead to frustrating gameplay moments.

One noteworthy area of concern is understanding how to accumulate Rip Chips and elevate your Rip Score. While acquiring Rip Chips proves to be relatively straightforward, increasing your Rip Score might require more effort, especially since the game is still in Early Access. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you achieve 100% completion.

Understanding Rip Chips vs. Rip Score

In the Skate universe, players encounter two crucial currencies: Rip Chips and Rip Score. The primary distinction between them is that Rip Chips function as the game’s currency, allowing purchases without real-money transactions. In contrast, Rip Score serves as an experience metric, tracking your growth as a skater and your status within the game community.

Rip Chips can be utilized to acquire random items from the various bundles you unlock by progressing through different districts in San Van. Conversely, while Rip Score does not directly provide in-game benefits, reaching new milestones will reward players with unique banners and titles signifying their prowess.

Ways to Earn Rip Chips

In contrast to Rip Score, Rip Chips are readily obtainable through various activities. Here’s how players can accumulate Rip Chips effectively:

Completing Missions

Players can earn Rip Chips by advancing through story missions. These missions, guided by characters like Vee, Shingo, and Slappy, serve as an extended tutorial, acquainting players with gameplay mechanics, optimal skating spots, and advanced techniques for tackling pro challenges.

Currently, players can explore only three map regions, but these missions significantly enhance your reputation, unlocking new content and additional avenues for earning Rip Chips. If you experience any glitches while completing these missions, simply restarting the game can often resolve progress issues.

Completing Challenges

The most reliable method for accumulating Rip Chips is to engage in skating challenges. These objectives appear daily on your map and can be repeatedly completed for rewards. Initially, players must focus on missions to unlock these challenges, but soon they’ll gain access to numerous objectives across different regions.

Successfully completing challenges boosts your regional reputation and rewards Rip Chips based on the objectives met. For those looking to maximize their earnings, collaborating with another skater in co-op mode can provide additional bonuses.

Unlocking Fast Travel Spots

While obtaining rewards from fast travel locations is currently minimal due to limited travel spots, players can unlock these locations by enhancing their reputation within each district. Activating these greyed-out icons on your map grants small rewards and simplifies navigation throughout the city.

Completing Daily and Weekly Tasks

Beyond challenges, players have an opportunity to earn additional Rip Chips daily and weekly through passive tasks. Accessing the ‘tasks’ tab in the menu reveals objectives that can be tackled while skating around. Progressing through these tasks awards automatic Rip Chips; however, players must manually claim their daily (250x Rip Chips) and weekly (1000x Rip Chips) rewards in the menu.

How to Earn Rip Score

Distinguished from Rip Chips, Rip Score reflects your progress within the game. Presently, players may notice limitations due to incomplete content, causing potential stagnation in score growth. Here are the methods available for earning Rip Score:

Completing Missions

Similar to Rip Chips, players will earn Rip Score by navigating through available campaign missions. Progressing through the current content can yield a Rip Score of approximately 4000-4500, depending on the collectibles gathered and cooperative missions completed.

Purchasing Items

Another avenue for accumulating Rip Score involves purchasing items from the in-game store. While it’s not a preferred method, it offers an alternative way to engage with the game. Each item purchased contributes to your Rip Score, directly proportional to the item’s rarity, with golden items offering a maximum of 50 Rip Score points.

For reference, the breakdown of Rip Score earned for different item rarities is as follows:

Rarity	Color	RIP SCORE Points
Legendary	🟨 Gold	50
Epic	🟪 Purple	35
Collectible	🌸 Pink	20
Rare	🔵 Blue	20
Uncommon	🟩 Green	10

Pay-to-Win Concerns

While I don’t advocate for this option, it’s possible to purchase items from the shop using real money to boost Rip Score. This method, however, substantially increases costs and complicates the gameplay experience. According to current insights, Rip Score accumulation remains consistent whether players are using in-game currency or real money.

For those interested in mastering their skating experience in Skate, understanding the nuances of Rip Chips and Rip Score is essential to progressing effectively.
