I used it to open the Imandra garage via the super sketchy rock canyon, no bother at all. Crap for heavy hauling on easy terrain but get way out there and it's like cheating.

So uh, anybody know if there's a way to unlock the console or similar in this game? Ran into a weird glitch that had me forced to restart an end game contract in Don and it set me back ALL THE WAY to the start of the mission and I'd rather just cheat it so I can move on considering I was in the last couple minutes

Oof that sucks

I keep hopping between cherno and Cosmo - I can either do an unbelievably long, tedious and completely flat route in cherno to haul cargo, or I can bring it from Cosmo while sliding around on ice roads, breaking through rotten ice , tipping over on hills, etc

You best believe im doing the latter. Although I did finally drop my "no outside the region trucks" rule and took the twinsteers in to cherno where they stunted all over it

Cherno is what really cemented my love of the 605r w/ ramped flatbed+chain tire Azov 7 w/ sideboard bed...just absolute blew through poo poo with that combo and a Voron AE sprinting around doing smaller stuff

Yeah. The 605 is just boring is the problem

I had some leftover 4220s from way back on the Cosmo map and trying to use them in a road train with ramped flatbed is a loving throwback compared to the zikz

I did haul a pair of large pipes with a zikz on a 8 slot trailer, it was a disaster and I had to unpack multiple spots to drag over humps because of the weird way the physics work

Oh, it's just a cat.
Pillbug
Speaking of things I wish I knew earlier, unpacked cargo weighs half of what packed cargo does for some reason. So just start letting stuff slide around in your sideboard bed.


So I used the azov 7 to deliver the rails in don last night and it was just an absolute miserable experience. I don't have the tuned suspension so the front was so low it gets stuck on absolutely everything. It's got plenty of power but the form factor was just awful. I guess I'm still in the market for a heavy because after looking where the suspension is I'm not getting out to that anytime soon - I'll be able to pick up that OP ziks in amur sooner than getting that upgrade.

I keep wanting to use other trucks but the drat tayga 7436 with the best engine, highrange, raised, TMHS, a crane and sideboard semitrailer is just so incredibly good. I *almost* threw a high saddle on and used it over the azov 7 and after the miserable delivery I think I should have.

Oh wow, I hope Mr Johnson doesn't mind his car being trashed! Also drat, I reckon that winching at the start could've been done way less catastrophically, haha :v: But yeah that's an amazing recovery - great crane-fu, too!

I had originally parked the Azov 7 at the entrance to the zone and brought a Bandit to do the fetching, but it just wouldn't stop flipping or having its bed stick at a 45 degree angle so I recovered it and sent the sideboard-less Azov to the areas to retrieve the pipes, which it did without issue or controversy

Gotcha thanks again :)

It was nice trying the Azov a little in Michigan, it’s fun seeing that thing get submerged and just blast through unscathed.

On the other hand it was tons of fun getting my scout 800 stuck a million times then rolling it down a hill, and spending ten minutes trying to move a few feet through some water to get an upgrade. Finally making it there after three attempts felt like a huge achievement.

Being stuck in that water so long got me a lot of eyerolls from my gf who has done a fair amount of gnarly off-roading in a jeep, while I’ve never even had a drivers license

Hi thread. Snowrunner was $5 on Epic not long ago, so I made a weird transition from Cyberpunk.

Pretty chill game, I throw on some chillwave and haul some long logs for hours. 1 P16 truckload at a time. None of that hepped up multitruck over packing for this guy.

I like the old trucks best, as I had some older friends and family who drove and it reminds me of their stories. I've got my class 1 so I can technically do that, but it's been close to 20 years since I have so I'd be a menace. This sort of takes it place, in the same way DCS does since I don't fly.

Thanks for all the tips and tricks along the way everyone.

The only coded geographical limit is where you can buy certain trucks, you can use any owned truck on any map. Just retain them in their current garage and they'll be available in any other garage.

Just a funny av. Not a redtext or an own ok.
So when you guys talk about packing cargo or scouts or fuel trailer on top of a trucks cabin and stuff, can you actually pack it like regular cargo, affixing it in place, or do you just freeride it while it physics around?

I'm fine with doing things one truck at a time, but Amur is really testing me...

It's pretty selectively useful and more of just a neat trick, I think you can now pack scout fuel trailers onto stuff as well, and yeah it's fully packed and will stick around despite a whole lot of bouncing around

If you're wanting to haul more cargo, your best bet is gonna be just convoying up another truck by turning its engine on and winching it. For Ursa I used a 605r w/ ramped flatbed and an Azov 7 with semi and chain tires

yeah I don't bother packing scouts ontop anymore because I'm always convoying. I never leave the garage without towing at least another truck already that I can drain in a pinch. I also hate how fiddly cranes are even the "big ones". Maybe packing a scout trailer would be useful though. I've also probably dropped a few CAT 745's with fuel add-ons around if I need to fuel up in a pinch.

maybe packing a scout fuel trailer on a Twinsteer wouldn't be bad though: that thing is loving thirsty. But 605r and Azov7 is real fuel efficient. I'm currently on Paper Factory C in Wisconsin and having to drop that sucker off at the fuel station like almost every run on the Warehouse. I'm dreading having to go over to the Brick Factory which I haven't touched yet

is not good.


When yall say overload, are you just holding it on there with hope? You say you don't pack it so how does it not just fall off right away?

Also, this game is fun as hell but I can't stand it solo. I just wanna truck with the boys, help each other out and stuff. So, if you want to coop sometime hit me up, it's hard to find folks to play with.

usually it's being tamped down by a loading crane on top of it. sometimes you can kinda squeeze one-slotters into crevices that'll be a little jank

but yes, if you're sufficiently mad some trucks can for example wear cargo as hats and get it where its going on sheer gumption - or hell, just stack one on top of the other and pray like so
