Who This Guide Is For
This guide is for people who suck at K-Drive like me. 😁 The method described seeks to strike a balance between quick standing and relatively low complexity in combo.
Summary
What we're going for is sustaining a trick combo until we get the maximum of 3000 points. For every 4 points we get 1 Vent Kid standing. That equates to 750 standing per 3000 point combo. With this method, each 3000 point combo takes about 20 to 30 seconds. We'll have to do these combos over and over until we reach max Vent Kids rank. I have chosen a specific combo and method where essentially you'll be doing the same thing over and over. Eventually you can get some muscle memory to make it easier and establish some consistency.
Where We Doing This?
The Pearl

We will be going to the Pearl. A nice circular rail is located here. Here we can grind continuously in a nice consistent turning fashion.

If You Don't Want To Be Harassed By Enemies
I highly suggest hacking the Comms System or else a TON of enemies will spawn and harass you while you're performing tricks (or attempting to 😪).

You can start the mini-mission by inserting the data mass into the Comms System. The data mass will drop from a random enemy. You'll have to protect the Comms System for two and half minutes.
How To Increase Score
While in K-Drive mode, you'll see two numbers at the bottom right of the screen. Your total score will be the first number multiplied by the second number. Therefor we will want to increase both numbers. The first number is increased by how long we sustain a combo. The second number is increased by tricks we do mid-air.
Controls
This section is not comprehensive and only lists moves that are relative to this guide.

Step By Step Instructions
Essentially, you'll be grinding in a circular pattern (left or right is up to you) and jumping over the obstacles every quarter circle whilst doing tricks in mid-air.

The Sequence
  • Grind on railing. Hold crouch while turning mouse slightly.
  • Jump (space bar/hold space bar and release) above obstacle.
  • In mid-air: Spin (spacebar), Forward Flip (forward and right click), Spin (spacebar).
  • Repeat
Tips
  • Hold crouch to charge jump for more air-time. More air-time allows you to squeeze in more tricks per jump.
  • Do not jump too high so the jump over the next obstacle can be performed successfully.
  • You can spam Spin (spacebar) and Forward Flip (forward and right click) as many times in the air that is allowed.
  • Start holding crouch before landing on the rails to ensure successful grind.
  • Let each trick register before the next. The second number at the bottom right will increase by 2 every time a trick registers.

Combo Completion
Pay attention to the numbers at the bottom right and wait until the total score reaches 3000 (you'll have to do quick math in your head).

Once you've reached max score of 3000, you'll want to make a nice landing (no bumping into anything).

If you do not make a nice landing, all your points will be for nothing. 😥

If You're Bad At Math
Here are some numbers that equal 3000.
  • 75 x 40
  • 100 x 30
  • 150 x 20
  • 200 x 15
  • 250 x 12
  • 300 x 10
Advanced Combo: Max Standing In Under 10 Minutes
BOARD GRAB HAS BEEN NERFED.
The section is useless because it has been nerfed. I am keeping it here just in case they buff the board grab again.

This method takes 10 to 15 seconds per 3000 point combo.

Where
There's a nice pipe behind the Fortuna Gate.

Controls


Sequence
  • High Jump onto pipe
  • Do two to three mid-air tricks for a +4 to +6 multiplier
  • Land onto pipe
  • Boosted grind
  • High Jump
  • Do as many +multiplier tricks as possible
  • Board grab for at least 1 second
  • Land onto pipe
  • Boosted grind
  • High Jump off pipe (at this point, base points should be over 100)
  • Do as many +multiplier tricks as possible
  • Land onto ground
Doesn't have to be this exact sequence. Point is doing the board grab and boosted grind raises base points very quickly and doing as many tricks as possible per jump gives fast +multiplier. Board grab can be done during the first jump as well.


Mods

Only essential mod is Inertia Dampeners which gives a starting +5 multiplier at the beginning of a combo.

Pearl works, but it's objectively inferior. Or at least it did work until a few days ago. Haven't been there in a while.

The Pearl doesn't work anymore buttnuts. Just grind the pipe right behind Fortuna as you enter the Orb Vallis everybody. When you reach the end jump and turn around until you've got your 3k point drop.

The red broken thing does nothing to make you lose points, it only prevents you from gaining more. As long as it has already been calculated (it's not in the 10x300 form, but in the 3000 form you see in the gif), you do get the standing. It's easy to just check that for yourself.

You do, however, lose points if the calculation isn't performed. (E.g. you fall down a pit, you crash and fall off off the K-Drive or you break the points before it calculates.)

It's not even necessarily "landing badly". When you bump on basically any difference of heigth in terrain after you land, the counter breaks, if it hasn't disappeared yet.

I did make a move that's not needed in that gif. I grinded mid air out of habit. Are you landing in grind position? Just make a normal landing no moves.
UhOhHotdog 14 Dec, 2018 @ 4:00pm 
I watched them obviously, I land like that and lose points all the time. Oh well not for me i guess.
ThePHiLsTeR [¬º-°]¬  [author] 14 Dec, 2018 @ 2:53pm 
@UhohHotdog look at the animated gif. It shows a successful landing. Copy it.

"If you do not make a nice landing, all your points will be for nothing."

What is considered a nice landing? This is where my problem is, I constantly lose all my points due to just landing normally. I don't understand why I lose my points, I cant land much different honestly. I've yet to level one kdrive even 10lvls because of this. Got frustrated and just stopped messing with it.
Stroym 14 Dec, 2018 @ 12:16pm 
I used to grind my standing in the Pearl, but there's actually an even easier way to do it right outside Fortuna. You just need to jump "the right way" on to the long pipe to get the points rolling in fast. (First left click, then right click, then press crouch toggle and it should work, most of the time. It's requires specific timing, but it's not very hard to hit. Once the points start going, you can let go of the mouse buttons.) When you slide all the way you only need like x9 multiplier to get max points.

Promises not complex tricks, proceeds to suggest complex trick. Nice trollguide.
