Elite: Dangerous Race to Elite winners announced, one player makes £10,000
The winners of Elite: Dangerous' Race To Elite competition have been announced, with one player receiving the grand prize of £10,000.
Back when Elite: Dangerous launched, developer Frontier announced a competition that would award players to first reach Elite rank in trading, exploration, or combat, a prize of £1,000 each. The grand prize - £10,000 - was for whoever reaches the Triple Elite rank, meaning they would be the first to reach the Elite rank in all three activities.
The winner of the grand prize is a player named Onepercent. He visited 10,342 unique star systems, traded 835,410 tonnes of goods, killed 9,032, travelled 180,688 light years, all during 1,029 hours.
