Vehicle Repair Guide

Vehicles are game-changers for travel and storage. Here’s how to get one up and running.

Finding Vehicles

Vehicles spawn in set locations but in different conditions:

  • Industrial areas & towns
  • Gas stations & garages
  • Farms & rural areas

💡 Most vehicles will be missing key parts — be ready to hunt.

Essential Parts

  • Spark Plug → Required (Engine ignition)
  • Car Battery → Required (Power systems)
  • Radiator → Required (Engine cooling)
  • 4x Wheels → Required (Movement)
  • Doors → Optional (Protection)
  • Hood → Optional (Engine protection)

⚠️ Without the required parts, the vehicle will NOT run.

Fluids Required

  • Fuel → Gas pumps or jerry cans
  • Water → Fill radiator (bottles/canteens)
  • Engine Oil → Optional but protects engine

💡 Never drive without water in the radiator — you will ruin the engine.

Repair Tools

  • Lug Wrench → Attach/remove wheels
  • Pipe Wrench → Remove certain parts
  • Tire Repair Kit → Fix damaged tires
  • Epoxy Putty → Repair radiator leaks

Driving Tips

  • Stay on roads when possible
  • Slow down on rough terrain
  • Avoid driving at night without lights
  • Always carry spare parts
  • Check vehicle condition before trips

⚠️ Crashing once can destroy hours of work.

Vehicle Types

  • Ada 4x4 → Great all-rounder
  • Sarka 120 → Fast on roads
  • M3S Truck → Massive storage
  • Gunter 2 → Fast sedan

🔥 Pro Tip: Build your car near where you find it — moving parts long distances is risky and slow.
