In this guide, I will say which DLCs for the game are worth buying. When I first planned to buy DLC for the game and went to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 store page, I was very surprised by the amount of additional content available for the game. At this time, DLC are available, of which 85 are available for purchase, not yet released: Nordic Horizons and Greece.

There is no point in buying all the DLC, because most of the DLC are just paintjobs for your truck and dont offer anything for gameplay. But there are additions that significantly affect the experience and enjoyment of the game. Some add-ons can make some aspects of the game easier and also allow you to earn more money.


Some of the recommendations may seem obvious, but this guide is intended for experienced players as well as newcomers.

Therefore, I collected the following recommendations:

• Buy DLC during sales, because the discounts on them are very significant;
  
• Buy better DLC in bundles, because this will further reduce the cost of DLC by -15%;
  
• Even if you already have one DLC from the bundle, buy the bundle anyway. It will be cheaper, because the price of the bundle is updated and the DLC that you own are removed from the set;
  
• Do not buy several bundles with the same DLC at the same time, because you will pay twice for a joint DLC, so you need to wait about 30-45 minutes for the previously purchased DLC to be excluded from the bundle;
  
• Even if you have one DLC left from the bundle, the bundle discount will apply;
  
• Buy DLC in the order shown in the guide, this is the best value for money.

If you just bought the game, I recommend you add the following free add-ons. There are 5 of them in total. They all add new trucks:

First of all, I recommend buying DLC to expand the map, because you will eventually open the entire standard map, and with these DLC you will be able to travel almost all over Europe. Also, DLC to the maps will allow you to take cargo to greater distances, which will allow you to earn more money per delivery. By the way, I recommend buying DLC in this order
