Greetings, modding community!
Over the holiday season you’ve tirelessly built, wrecked, and shared your finest creations. Now the entries are in, the votes are counted, and the wait is finally over - so let’s unwrap the results of the Holiday Modding Contest.
First Place
In first place, taking home the contest trophy, a $300 gift card, a merchandise package, and 3x game keys, we have Powerups, by TroLLeX.
This mod completely caught us off guard - in the best possible way! Traffic now bothers itself, others, and you.
Essentially, it introduces an entirely new game mode with unique and quirky powerups. The judges had a healthy dose of criticism for the quality of the visuals, and we couldn’t ignore the performance impact, but in terms of creativity and scope - this is our absolute winner!
Second Place
In second place, winning a $200 gift card, a merchandise package, and 2x game keys, we have RandolpH Cranes, by E32k.
Rising high above the competition, literally, with exceptional attention to detail in both form and function. This mod seamlessly blends reliable performance with polished visuals, and the included attachments - though some less realistic - undeniably bring a creative flair to the overall experience.
The judges praised the utilization of the new vehicle triggers but noted some unconventional JBeam design choices. All things considered, this entry demonstrated an impressive level of technical ambition and execution.
Third Place
Coming in third, and winning a $100 gift card, a merchandise package, and 1x game key, we have B.E. DESTROYER EXTREME, by AwesomeCarlPlays.
This 9-ton tactical annihilation platform pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in BeamNG. Forged in fury and clad in steel, this zero-emissions, battlebot-possessed bulldozer is capable of obliterating undesired traffic with merciless efficiency.
Custom-engineered from the ground up with a reinforced frame, and outfitted with a high-RPM front spinner and a hammer that makes apocalypse feel gentle, this contraption truly commands respect. Despite minor critique of the simplistic JBeam design and challenging handling, this entry confidently secures the top three spot.
Honorable Mentions
4th place
This creation doesn’t just collect cars - it devours them. Featuring a detailed hull with decorative accents, a front ramp, and a number of customization options, it impressed our judges with its originality and effective asset integration.
5th place
Don’t let the flashing lights fool you - this ambulance doesn’t respond to emergencies - it causes them.
This twisted take on a decommissioned ambulance charges forward with a ramplow, and fires back with a twin-mode adjustable cannon system. A simple, yet effective design was commended by the judges for enjoyable experience, although the overall lack of creativity and clipping issues ultimately prevented this entry from scoring higher.
6th place
A fitting concept for the challenge, this entry transforms the Stambecco into a rugged, claw-wielding relocation machine.
With ultra-heavy-duty suspension and a 3.5L diesel engine at its core, the crane was built to grab and go. While the judges found the idea original, they felt that the execution fell short - both the model and JBeam require further refinements to address stability and improve handling.
The winners will be contacted directly, through the forum DMs.
As always, we would like to thank everyone who participated, see you in the next one!
