The single best tip to offer: Go into settings and turn off repeating notifications. That way you're not told hundreds of times that you can winch, turn on AWD, or recover a vehicle when you're trying to get through a section.
OMG Thanks!!!! Been playing for a bit now and the notifications annoy me. It keeps telling me to turn on AWD when I have it on 😂😂. Thanks for this tip as I never knew I could turn them off!!
Sarstan totally agree I turned it off because I was getting really annoyed by the constant notifications when I turned it off it made my game experience much better!
Tip: When looking at the map trailers will show up in 2 different colors, red is a tow behind trailer and blue is a semi trailer that needs a low saddle.
My tip: When you’re done with a region, collect all of the trailers you don’t want, take them to the nearest trailer store and sell them for some extra cash!
I found the steering twitchy and prone to overcorrection. Goin into settings and changing to steering wheel mode helped a lot. It causes the wheels to re center automatically lessening the tendency to over correct
I had stopped playing for a long time and just started in again. It didn’t used to be an option, but it is now and that is really good to know... especially when my mud tires suck on pavement.
Another point. If you have the small crane and you’re stuck in the mud with no nearby winch points, you can stick the crane into the ground and extend it to use it as a paddle to push yourself closer to a winch point. Did that once lol.
Definitely a good trick! Also you can sometimes turn the wheels and rock your truck until it's just gone past being 90 degrees, then you can start the engine and winch to safety.
Plant small fuel trailers around the map in case you start to run low , send your scouts out to open up the maps . Don’t drive to fast or you will tip . Always pick the winch which works without the engine running , if in doubt about mud go around it,
Great tip. I'd also add this tip.. Get the Tuz 420 vehicle from Russia and then customise it with the autonomous winch, then get a truck with a crane such as the Tayga or Azov and add trailer to suit the cargo you're delivering. Use the Tuz 420 to winch the truck to your destination.
Another great tip: upgrades can be sold again as well. And everything (trucks, trailers and upgrades) can be sold at 100% the cost so don’t hesitate to just sell a truck, you can always buy it again later.
So does that mean that if I give for a mission what was on a trailer (steel beam for example) I can just sell that said trailer that I've found??? Cuz I have two empty ones just laying there... But does that also mean that if I want a trailer later, I'll have to buy it AGAIN?
OMG i cant stop playing this game its soooo good. A good tip i have found that isnt mentioned a lot (may be ovb to some) is turning your wheels in deep mud going from left to right full lock. I spent 5 min doing this (felt like an hour) when i was bogged down in deep mud and water by a river with nothing to latch on to with the winch, dont give up even if it looks like its not moving eventually you will find traction or a small rock for the tire to hit, its usualy the back wheels that get stuck but turning the front wheels flatens the mud and you sometimes find a harder bit for your truck to grip onto. Done this a few times and the satisfaction when you manage it is why the game is so good instead of just recovering work at it. Also release your trailer if your stuck and get the vehicle out first, then winch the trailer as the truck is much lighter to get out than with it attached and you can winch from a better spot and re attach when your out of trouble.
I just started playing today and I figured out a trick for towing trailers. If you're stuck, detach the trailer, gain some momentum, and then quick winch to the front to yank it. Rinse and repeat. (Might only work on select trailers. I've only tested it on the first type of trailers so far)
To change gears with the auto function simply press L1 quickly while accelerating to up a gear and when you feel the vehicle bog down press it again and it will downshift without stopping, saving you much needed momentum
The eyes in Russia are green near the abandoned gulag where you get the radioactive container. Kind of makes you wonder about the odd folks with the abandoned campsite on Rift and why it looks like there is the edge of a crater near the top of the map on Quarry. I'm sure that's a coincidence and nothing to worry about.
Here's another tip: Manually choosing winch attach points can be time consuming and the quick winch function in external view can be a bit flakey on where it attaches. If you go to the interior view and use quick winch it will attach to whatever is closest to the center of the screen. The will usually let you pick a specific tree faster and changing views is faster than opening the function menu and manually selecting both attach points.
That works nicely, cheers for that. I often use the first-person view when in trees as the camera gets confused and usually you only need to winch ahead of you to make progress.
Those "free" trailers often have cargo, which may be closer to an objective than the regular place where you get it. You can either haul the trailer, or if your truck has a crane you can pick cargo off the trailer (you have to connect to the trailer and unpack it first). If a "free" trailer has fuel in it, you can use it as a resource by hauling it somewhere useful rather than always having to go back to the garage or a fuel stop to refuel.
Here’s a little tip for everyone. Buy a fuel tanker. Either the small or the large, depending on how often you find yourself in an area that has no fuel station….and tote it to an area near there and just leave it. You will always be close to fuel and when it’s empty, you can either take it back and sell it or refill it at a station and drag it back. Really helps if you have a big truck that has a small fuel tank or that drinks it’s fuel instead of sipping it. 🤜🏻🤛🏻👍🏻👍🏻
One very important tip regarding the carrying of cargo. Whatever cargo you're carrying, leave it unpacked. The weight of an unpacked cargo actually has way less of an impact on the truck's speed and mobility than packed cargo does. Just get the sideboard bed addon or trailer, and that'll prevent the cargo from falling off the truck (unless you tip over of course).
This feels like an exploit and I prefer not to, but hell, do what's fun for you! (It's particularly ridiculous with logs, a full truck of dozens of logs turns into *three* logs when unpacked!)
@@ATribeCalledCars that's funny. The first time I went to the Russian map. I turned over 3 vehicles within the the first hour. This was before I knew about the recover option. I only had 3 vehicles at the time. Once I recovered them I went back to Michigan. Russia was rough.
Having trouble With vehicle rescues or recovery’s? Always wedge your vehicle against a tree to strengthen any tough winch rescue jobs. Works every time 👍
My tips: #1. I periodically haul out maintenance trailers when I can and drop them off at random points all around the map (usually at intersections) so I don’t necessarily have to find a gas station or service station. #2. I leave at least two vehicles (only one if scout, *autonomous winch) in every map with no garage. That way if I flip or get stuck/run out of fuel I have another vehicle relatively close by to help.
Get the Tuz 420 scout from Russia and add autonomous winch. Place Tuz in every map. I've never had a Tuz gets stuck in mud or snow so far. It's so good, I use it to pull trucks and trailers with supplies. It's only weak points are 1. It's slow. 2. It had a wide turning circle.
another tip: looking at the map automatically saves your game (only works if the game hasn’t save just yet).. might be useful if you’re not sure that your truck or trailer are gonna roll over.. why, you asked? coz when they did roll over, just press ALT+F4 *immediately* to quit the game (before it saves your ‘progress’) and then continue to play again just before the _accident_ happen 🤣🤣
Tip. The ramped trailers can carry trucks, you can use these to bring a truck that’s Affective but with hi fuel consumption to another area that doesn’t have a garage just slap on a trailer on your semi of choice and bring it, just be a tad careful. Heavy amd you can’t pack it down
Here's a better 25: if your truck can have any extra lights, add them. Night time visibility, especially on Taymyr where the day/night cycle is wonky, is a huge plus
This is a really good game, and it's exactly what I imagined for a sequel while playing Mudrunner. I am about 30% done this game and have found most of these tricks you mention, just by playing. I think one of the most interesting parts of the game is that there is very little info on how to play the game. It's up to you to think critically, to solve solutions to problems. There is a bit of a learning curve to understanding the menus, and garages, but that's all part of it. I think of it as one big puzzle, and I need to figure out what to do. Sometimes I will be thinking about the game even when not playing it and I come up with a solution on how to complete something. Some people might night like the slower pace of the game, but I think of it as more of a puzzle game then an action game. If I want a fast paced, open world game I'll switch to GTA usually. One tip I would like to add is to customize the trucks with distinct visual identities so that it's easier to remember what truck is good for what. All my best trucks I color GREEN, second best trucks are ORANGE and shitty trucks RED. Keeping track of 8 or 10 trucks gets to be too much for me anyway, but if I quickly look at my storage I can see what my favorite trucks are by color. The only exception is the hummer, which has to be YELLOW, because what other color hummer would you drive?
So I actually skipped a lot of Michigan. I never completed the tutorial due to thinking I was soft-locked in the garage because I didn’t understand the retain and world map stuff. I have one of the best trucks in the game and about 100k to work with, and I didn’t know most of these. This would’ve been nice to know about when I was starting out. Even as a “veteran” who got the game a month ago, these help a lot.
Tip: once you get a watchtower look for upgrades. Upgrade can be usefull for the truck you have and other truck that you might have in the future of your game
The winch can be a great tool for twirling longer vehicles (looking at you, twinsteer!) round tight corners. Attach the winch from the rear of the truck to a tree behind you and on the outside of the corner, take up the slack, then as you drive through the corner the rope pulls the rear end round. Hard to describe, but give it a go! It's also good for holding a truck up as it threatens to tip driving along a traverse.
Played the game alot, I overlooked the loadstar... Its kinda an ugly old truck... But its a scout, u can add a truck bed. It holds ton of fuel and repair parts, and u find the better motor, raised suspension and put highway diff its probably the fastest scout. Definitely worth checking out.
Really enjoying the game. I played spintires when it was still a tech demo, got mudrunner when it came out, and this just adds onto everything both games did and makes the world feel more alive
For me the most hilarious thing to do is to traverse a road meant for a small scout vehicle with an 10x10 wheeler carrying an 8 slot high saddle trailer. Stupid? Yes, hilarious, YES!
i liked it more when the game asked me to take a logging truck hill climbing in yukon. that contract is extremely hard, even for a experienced player like me.
The game has been a complete treat so far! I loved Mudrunner and this has been a massive improvement. My one complaint which I feel is quite a large issue is the cooperative progression system. Only the host progresses in the campaign, and the free trucks spread across the map are only made available for the host. I want to play through this with friends, but to progress equally we have to do it all twice.
Heck yeah, I didn't realize this until we almost completed the 1st part of Michigan on my buddies and the next day I had no progression...didn't even realize it says in when loading into co-op until after
At the beginning money is king. If you find yourself in need of that cold hard cash. Buy the most expensive vehicle you can, do as many free upgrades as possible, then sell it, then buy it again, and repeat. You won't get a lot from it necessarily but if you need the cash now it's one way to get you that sweet green stuff.
The one thing I find that is a pain with Snowrunner... is the access to tyres. Snowrunner has very unforgiving terrain and to use the Mud tyres as an example, you have to be level 8 or something. So using Highway tyres in mud is not adequate. But oddly, they do work well with AWD initiated. Settling for all terrain tyres is the next best thing before you can get mud tyres for the White Western star or the Fleet Star.
You're right, I remember the grind to mud tyres on the Tayga. It's partly why I did my how to make fast XP video as I know many people simply wanted mud tyres to enjoy the game more.
I use fuel tanker trailer as temporary fuel stations and position them in strategic places far from the nearest gasoline station, specially at areas like islands without garages.
All of the maps is detailed, so if your route goes on difficult tracks avoid by going point to point across the map. Avoid trailers that limit your vehicles turn radius, be selective. Use the winch to help you across side slopes, attach to truck center points and tree to 'swing' across the slope without tipping. (used by mountaineers to cross sheer faces without hand holds). If your vehicle tends to steer very slowly (or not at all), power off to let the front wheels grip. Remember you can not steer if the wheels that steer are in the air.
A good way to save time is to stash vehicles on maps with no garage. Just drove the ass end of nowhere from your garage? Stash the truck next to a warehouse or port on the map. When you have another mission to do on that map, you can use that truck rather than driving there all over again.
Also, sometimes missions direct you to pickup cargo from a more distant location (if you select the cargo item from mission menu), but infact there's closer location to pickup the same cargo.
If you are on the map and move your navigating circle on to a truck or a building and press the right stick it will atomaticaly tell you what you need instead of scroling through all the categories on the side
You can take 2 trucks thru gateways. Each truck can have an attached trailer. Load em up before going to gateway. Winch both trucks together and both trucks with cargo and trailers will be in next map.
@@ATribeCalledCars have you noticed a glitch with hauling vehicles? I drive 1 on to trailer, switch to hauling truck, and loaded truck falls through trailer
Tip: the added light bars on the roof of trucks can be great assets for night driving in Michigan, and other non- snow environments, but can actually be counter productive when in Alaska, creating too much glare and reduce visibility. Consider removing them in snowy regions and looking for front bumper options with extra lights if extra illumination is desired.
Oh yeah, that took me a while when I first started but it makes such a difference. Almost a completely different game once you know some of the basic mechanics.
Got into mudrunner years ago like snowrunner liking your videos they have been a big help on some tasks and contracts ...saw the section about codes what do the codes open up trucks or add-on would like to here back again like the helpful videos keep up the good work
i am basically a scout main in this game, i love to take my scout everywhere, get every watchtower, upgrade and vehicle wherever i can except for when the tunnels to the next map are locked because missions... fun
I found myself using a flatbed and cherrypicker on a semi with a towable 4 place trailer to tow another semi set up the same way attached to another 4 place trailer.... so you can take two trucks and trailers at one time hauling 12 spots of equipment or materials 😁😁
Some achievements in the game require you have certain trucks. Like for example you use the p12 in taymar for 10 cargos you get an achievement same for running the zakz 5068 a Russian truck in either Michigan or Alaska and running 10 cargos there. But it has to be those certain models.
Great tips thanks for the video, I will add that I connected my Ferrari 458 thrustmaster steering wheel for Xbox one to play the game and had absolutely no issues.
Wheels work really well here nice ffb nd everything. Had one problem when I spawned a car the wheel kept jerking to the left and right really fast. Unplugged the USB for 5 seconds put it back in it calibrated and was fine! The only thing I can say is sometimes it feels like you may need less rotation or maybe there's a deadline in the center about 5-15° but once you get used to it it's not bad. That and the lack of options on xbox seem fairly decent for recent implement. Edit: Autocorrect
@@Asdprefix if your cabin is ahead of the winch point and there is nothing ahead, then you can winch from the rear of the trailer and pull yourself forward
If a long trailer bottoms out you can also use the crane to pick up the front end and swivel it around to a place that doesn't cause it to bottom out. I had to do that one time when going over a bump. I ended up redirecting towards a stream and just drove it through said stream lol
Don't know if it works now,but in early versions if you exit the game straight from the pause menu,then after turning it on again it usually reverses your progress back a little. Handy if you rolled over in a remote location.
Really addicted to this game but tbh done some really stupid things that cost me hours and hours of time. Like when I got to river lake, taken metal beams from smithville dam which taken a long time as the road I taken, taken ages and lost the cargo about 8 times. I finally got to the tunnel to river lake and taken them to the power lines where they were to go, I don't know how I managed it but I had freaking wooden planks. Also there was a place on river lake where I could have got the metal beams quite close by on river lake. Wasted loads of time on nothing 😄 🤣 then I came up with a plan which I felt quite good about at the time. To take a maintenance trailer to river lake so I can go there and fix any vehicles because of lack of a garage. I felt quite clever coming up with that. It also taken some time to get that trailer there. Well one of your tips I could buy a service trailer at a trailer store and use it then sell it back meaning it costs nothing. Damn! So many things though, if I knew then what I know now, it would have saved me hours 😄 but I suppose albeit slightly annoying it's all part of the game. One thing I realised. I assumed you could only buy one of the same vehicle. I think its so great that I can have my two favourite trucks left sat on different maps at the one time and go between them. I just assumed you could only have one of each truck. Yes I know you can retain and take to different garages. But not all maps have garages and even so it is much easier.
@@Dimaz42 tru. Well this game still needs shifter support and need cruise control just like mudrunner and spintires badly!! It’s honestly making me crazy or not being in the game..🤬
@@billygames7107 yea, totally agree with that.. though I ended up cheating by modding the mud and the wheels so it's a bit easier and don't take a long time to play, so my hands aren't that painful anymore 😁😁
Tip: if you wanna go downhill and keep control just put it in low, this forces the car to go slow and won’t allow it to pick up speed, need to go lower L-, feeling risky L+
It is the little things. My next task is to mount some headlights onto my trucks. Driving in pitch black night isn’t fun, although I like night time atmosphere.
Great game I have like 200 xbox1x games and I can’t stop playing!!! Lol been Oilfild truck driver for 20 years so right at home they did a Amazing job with the trucks visuals!! I payed 90$ for the game and year pass well spent!!
Anyone else see the "wolf" on black river? It's north of the fuel station closest to the farm. You take that sharp corner and if you slow down the wolf is visible then despawns as you approach.
@@ATribeCalledCars Dev ideas for SnowRunner 2: you can get out of the truck, attach winches and hitches manually and be eaten by a bear in Alaska ("Mission failed, recover truck driver to hospital?")...
I'm thinking variable chassis length and wheelbase depending on frame add-ons would clear up a lot of space wastage and trailer hitch issues and make for a more truly customisable truck....
Tip 1: Sell everything, go to Russia, buy Azov 64131 - Enjoy easy mode. Tip 2: Find a contest you like, farm the contest for poinys untill you get to level 10. Go to Russia - Buy the 6 weel scout - Enjoy the rest of the game in easyer mode.
stuck with one mission in the mines at smithville dam, tipped over on narrow hilly roads with all cargo scattered around. Haven't touched it since recovering them keeps failing for me.
I suggest two trucks if you haven’t tried it already, one with a heavy crane and the other with a trailer, and if you keep tipping when trying to lift the cargo, attached the crane to it then just drive backwards, like a winch
tip: if your stuck is a region you do not like go to contracts and click on the first one it will axantentle show you how to get out of that region (this only works for the first 3 in mishagain)
11:19 I felt that pain I was playing mudrunner I was about to complete a level and then my truck tip over and I was pissed I hat to return to the garage and do the trip again
I know I'm late to say this but if you have flashing lights they can help you locate your vehicle if it's on a hill as long as you can get the engine to run
Great tips! Mine is the warning that the ruts in the roadway are not always the best place to place your tyres as they are often at uneven heights and can cause your truck or trailer to tip over. As for 19, "Remember those headlights!" Still have PS4 code?
I do still have the code, I'll put your name in the hat. I'm actually surprised how few people have tried to enter relative to viewing figures, guess it's because people already have the game when searching for guides! Also that's good advice, especially if you've done a route a few times and worn the mud down more.
@@ATribeCalledCars I got angry and turned off the game cause I flipped in an area where there was no garage and when I started back up the game to my surprise there was the car good as new. Hopefully it works on all platforms I play on xbox one.
Yep, you just have to make sure you use close application before an auto save hits after you flip a truck. If you close to main menu, it will save your progress.
L1 + Circle = High Beam Headlights on PlayStation 4. I played my first 4 hours in total darkness 🤫

Is there a way to tell which trailers need a high saddle?
Ghost it will tell you if you need one or not in the mission
Dont forget grey scout trailers :).
My tip: When you’re done with a region, collect all of the trailers you don’t want, take them to the nearest trailer store and sell them for some extra cash!
To save time, winch a second trailer behind the attached one.

Yesterday I found out you can find eyes watching you in the forest in Russia and Michigan. Also I seen a wolf appear then dissapear.

Get the Tuz 420 scout from Russia and add autonomous winch. Place Tuz in every map. I've never had a Tuz gets stuck in mud or snow so far. It's so good, I use it to pull trucks and trailers with supplies. It's only weak points are 1. It's slow. 2. It had a wide turning circle.
Amazing tip For making tight turns. Put it in low with the handbrake on and floor it! Works best on the bigger trucks!!
another tip: looking at the map automatically saves your game (only works if the game hasn’t save just yet).. might be useful if you’re not sure that your truck or trailer are gonna roll over.. why, you asked? coz when they did roll over, just press ALT+F4 *immediately* to quit the game (before it saves your ‘progress’) and then continue to play again just before the _accident_ happen 🤣🤣
Wish I could do that, I’ve taken the same route multiple times just to flip over. I quit playing the rest of the night.
Wish I knew this earlier could have saved me hours 😅😅😅
Tip. The ramped trailers can carry trucks, you can use these to bring a truck that’s Affective but with hi fuel consumption to another area that doesn’t have a garage just slap on a trailer on your semi of choice and bring it, just be a tad careful. Heavy amd you can’t pack it down
I know this is late but now they added that you can pack vehicles down in trailers now. Tried it with the ramped trailer
Here's a better 25: if your truck can have any extra lights, add them. Night time visibility, especially on Taymyr where the day/night cycle is wonky, is a huge plus
Absolutely. And another tip, different lights have different brightness. Useful if you are finding some lights too bright on snow!
This is a really good game, and it's exactly what I imagined for a sequel while playing Mudrunner. I am about 30% done this game and have found most of these tricks you mention, just by playing. I think one of the most interesting parts of the game is that there is very little info on how to play the game. It's up to you to think critically, to solve solutions to problems. There is a bit of a learning curve to understanding the menus, and garages, but that's all part of it. I think of it as one big puzzle, and I need to figure out what to do. Sometimes I will be thinking about the game even when not playing it and I come up with a solution on how to complete something. Some people might night like the slower pace of the game, but I think of it as more of a puzzle game then an action game. If I want a fast paced, open world game I'll switch to GTA usually. One tip I would like to add is to customize the trucks with distinct visual identities so that it's easier to remember what truck is good for what. All my best trucks I color GREEN, second best trucks are ORANGE and shitty trucks RED. Keeping track of 8 or 10 trucks gets to be too much for me anyway, but if I quickly look at my storage I can see what my favorite trucks are by color. The only exception is the hummer, which has to be YELLOW, because what other color hummer would you drive?
White, who the hell drives a yellow hummer
@@kawahenry8716 well, I was going to paint it white, but then I wouldn't be able to find it if I lost it in Alaska :)
@@JubeProductions irl or in game?
@@kawahenry8716 That depends.
Best scout IMO is the Tuz 420 Tatarin. Best truck IMO is the Tayga 6436.
So I actually skipped a lot of Michigan. I never completed the tutorial due to thinking I was soft-locked in the garage because I didn’t understand the retain and world map stuff. I have one of the best trucks in the game and about 100k to work with, and I didn’t know most of these. This would’ve been nice to know about when I was starting out. Even as a “veteran” who got the game a month ago, these help a lot.
Tip: once you get a watchtower look for upgrades. Upgrade can be usefull for the truck you have and other truck that you might have in the future of your game
Good suggestion, cheers.
The winch can be a great tool for twirling longer vehicles (looking at you, twinsteer!) round tight corners. Attach the winch from the rear of the truck to a tree behind you and on the outside of the corner, take up the slack, then as you drive through the corner the rope pulls the rear end round. Hard to describe, but give it a go! It's also good for holding a truck up as it threatens to tip driving along a traverse.
Played the game alot, I overlooked the loadstar... Its kinda an ugly old truck... But its a scout, u can add a truck bed. It holds ton of fuel and repair parts, and u find the better motor, raised suspension and put highway diff its probably the fastest scout. Definitely worth checking out.
I'm going to be checking this out soon, just finishing another SnowRunner video (best trucks).
A Tribe Called Cars I use the loadster 1700 scout and man does it put in work! Lots of fuel and supplies in the truck bed too.
@@jsuchoski111 It's a great truck! Check out my scout showdown to see how awesome if you haven't already.
A Tribe Called Cars woah you gave it first place, it’s a pretty sweet truck.
Really enjoying the game. I played spintires when it was still a tech demo, got mudrunner when it came out, and this just adds onto everything both games did and makes the world feel more alive
I didn't play the games before much but SnowRunner definitely feels more accessible. Probably why it's much more mainstream this time around!
For me the most hilarious thing to do is to traverse a road meant for a small scout vehicle with an 10x10 wheeler carrying an 8 slot high saddle trailer.
Stupid? Yes, hilarious, YES!
i liked it more when the game asked me to take a logging truck hill climbing in yukon. that contract is extremely hard, even for a experienced player like me.
The game has been a complete treat so far! I loved Mudrunner and this has been a massive improvement. My one complaint which I feel is quite a large issue is the cooperative progression system. Only the host progresses in the campaign, and the free trucks spread across the map are only made available for the host. I want to play through this with friends, but to progress equally we have to do it all twice.
This is one of the worst things definitely, I can sort of get why it's a thing but it discourages friends from playing it.
If you're on PC, the host can share the savegame with the other players. That way everyone can have the same progression.
Heck yeah, I didn't realize this until we almost completed the 1st part of Michigan on my buddies and the next day I had no progression...didn't even realize it says in when loading into co-op until after
I missed the cruise-control in Mudrunner.. it could ease-up the pain of holding up the damn throttle for a long haul
armeno099 how can i do that??
At the beginning money is king. If you find yourself in need of that cold hard cash. Buy the most expensive vehicle you can, do as many free upgrades as possible, then sell it, then buy it again, and repeat. You won't get a lot from it necessarily but if you need the cash now it's one way to get you that sweet green stuff.
Yeah money is king early on, for sure.
The one thing I find that is a pain with Snowrunner... is the access to tyres. Snowrunner has very unforgiving terrain and to use the Mud tyres as an example, you have to be level 8 or something. So using Highway tyres in mud is not adequate. But oddly, they do work well with AWD initiated. Settling for all terrain tyres is the next best thing before you can get mud tyres for the White Western star or the Fleet Star.
You're right, I remember the grind to mud tyres on the Tayga. It's partly why I did my how to make fast XP video as I know many people simply wanted mud tyres to enjoy the game more.
Tip: unloading material in a square on ps4. Gotta park just right and tap down on the d-pad. Spent two days trying to fix a bridge.
I use fuel tanker trailer as temporary fuel stations and position them in strategic places far from the nearest gasoline station, specially at areas like islands without garages.
Yeah a good plan, one I use a lot.
All of the maps is detailed, so if your route goes on difficult tracks avoid by going point to point across the map.
Avoid trailers that limit your vehicles turn radius, be selective.
Use the winch to help you across side slopes, attach to truck center points and tree to 'swing' across the slope without tipping. (used by mountaineers to cross sheer faces without hand holds). If your vehicle tends to steer very slowly (or not at all), power off to let the front wheels grip. Remember you can not steer if the wheels that steer are in the air.
A good way to save time is to stash vehicles on maps with no garage. Just drove the ass end of nowhere from your garage? Stash the truck next to a warehouse or port on the map. When you have another mission to do on that map, you can use that truck rather than driving there all over again.
Also, sometimes missions direct you to pickup cargo from a more distant location (if you select the cargo item from mission menu), but infact there's closer location to pickup the same cargo.
That's true (and somewhat annoying).
If you are on the map and move your navigating circle on to a truck or a building and press the right stick it will atomaticaly tell you what you need instead of scroling through all the categories on the side
Good tip!
@@ATribeCalledCars thanks
You can take 2 trucks thru gateways. Each truck can have an attached trailer. Load em up before going to gateway. Winch both trucks together and both trucks with cargo and trailers will be in next map.
Good tip! Just remember to reattach the winch once through, or you have to come back later because you're an idiot like I am.
@@ATribeCalledCars i learned that the hard way also.
@@ATribeCalledCars have you noticed a glitch with hauling vehicles? I drive 1 on to trailer, switch to hauling truck, and loaded truck falls through trailer
Tip: the added light bars on the roof of trucks can be great assets for night driving in Michigan, and other non- snow environments, but can actually be counter productive when in Alaska, creating too much glare and reduce visibility. Consider removing them in snowy regions and looking for front bumper options with extra lights if extra illumination is desired.
3rd time trying to get into the game and I FINALLY learn I can teleport to cars. Well that fixes my biggest gripe. Thanks
Oh yeah, that took me a while when I first started but it makes such a difference. Almost a completely different game once you know some of the basic mechanics.
How is this possible??
Got into mudrunner years ago like snowrunner liking your videos they have been a big help on some tasks and contracts ...saw the section about codes what do the codes open up trucks or add-on would like to here back again like the helpful videos keep up the good work
Thanks, glad the videos are helping. What codes do you mean?
best tip! if you fail do fast alt+f4 and run game with last AUTOSAVE
25th tip got ya thumbs up click. Made me smile, well played.
Happy to hear that. I try not to make videos that are too serious.
25 was my favorite ! Lmao flashing lights = never stuck again ! Brilliant =)
Video helped out mate, thank you 😁
You're welcome! Glad you found it worth watching.
Why? I actually d0nt get it :(
@@mchaels17 3 years late, but the flashing lights don't really do anything, just visual effects.
In 1 week I am buying Snowrunner, by now I am trucking on Mudrunner, comunity made maps, ... are great 😁. Thanks for the vid 😀
You're welcome, plenty of more recent videos on the channel.
I missed the tutorial pop up that told you how to turn on your headlights. I felt like such a fool when I found it after playing for a few days.
I just headed to Russia after repairing one bridge so missed out on most of the tutorials. Not recommended.
How the funk do you turn them on ps4
@@rootloggins3951 L1 bumper then Circle.
@@ATribeCalledCars thanks alot brother. I was pulling my hair out.
I was like, damn, the headlights dim as fuck
i am basically a scout main in this game, i love to take my scout everywhere, get every watchtower, upgrade and vehicle wherever i can
except for when the tunnels to the next map are locked because missions... fun
I found myself using a flatbed and cherrypicker on a semi with a towable 4 place trailer to tow another semi set up the same way attached to another 4 place trailer.... so you can take two trucks and trailers at one time hauling 12 spots of equipment or materials 😁😁
Thanks for sharing these 25 essential SnowRunner tips, tricks, and secrets! Can't wait to level up my game with your valuable insights! 💯❄
Just bought the game. Thanks for the tips and tricks. I am used to formula 1. This is the whole other side haha.
Great video. 👍 Tip One... turn Speed to .75.... or stay off the coffee for a day and drop a Xanex.
😁
I sound so drunk at slow speed. But not as bad as Jeff Goldblum!
Attach a trailer to a trailer using the winch and make a road train, useful for hauling twice as many medium logs....
Also road trains are cool. Good tip!
Some achievements in the game require you have certain trucks. Like for example you use the p12 in taymar for 10 cargos you get an achievement same for running the zakz 5068 a Russian truck in either Michigan or Alaska and running 10 cargos there. But it has to be those certain models.
Ah yes taymar and zaks
Great tips thanks for the video, I will add that I connected my Ferrari 458 thrustmaster steering wheel for Xbox one to play the game and had absolutely no issues.
Interesting, I should really try my steering wheel again.
best tip ever.. dont play this when upset or angry.. because then.. you will explode and piss blood in utter insanity rage .
Especially if you play in Imandra.
@@ATribeCalledCars this game is a drug ! i need it.. i need my anger fix :D
Wheels work really well here nice ffb nd everything. Had one problem when I spawned a car the wheel kept jerking to the left and right really fast. Unplugged the USB for 5 seconds put it back in it calibrated and was fine! The only thing I can say is sometimes it feels like you may need less rotation or maybe there's a deadline in the center about 5-15° but once you get used to it it's not bad. That and the lack of options on xbox seem fairly decent for recent implement.
Edit: Autocorrect
One thing I don't see streamers doing. If you have an attached trailer and get stuck, use the winch point on the trailer to pull yourself forward
Why is that better, than pullin the tip of your truck? Or you mean detach, go forward and than pull it?
@@Asdprefix if your cabin is ahead of the winch point and there is nothing ahead, then you can winch from the rear of the trailer and pull yourself forward
Change settings to "Steering Wheel" if you use a controller. This centers the wheels upon release of the joystick and helps the steering tremendously.
If a long trailer bottoms out you can also use the crane to pick up the front end and swivel it around to a place that doesn't cause it to bottom out. I had to do that one time when going over a bump. I ended up redirecting towards a stream and just drove it through said stream lol
Don't know if it works now,but in early versions if you exit the game straight from the pause menu,then after turning it on again it usually reverses your progress back a little. Handy if you rolled over in a remote location.
Yes definitely a good trick!
Amazing tips bro thanks for the educational upload!
Really addicted to this game but tbh done some really stupid things that cost me hours and hours of time. Like when I got to river lake, taken metal beams from smithville dam which taken a long time as the road I taken, taken ages and lost the cargo about 8 times. I finally got to the tunnel to river lake and taken them to the power lines where they were to go, I don't know how I managed it but I had freaking wooden planks. Also there was a place on river lake where I could have got the metal beams quite close by on river lake. Wasted loads of time on nothing 😄 🤣 then I came up with a plan which I felt quite good about at the time. To take a maintenance trailer to river lake so I can go there and fix any vehicles because of lack of a garage. I felt quite clever coming up with that. It also taken some time to get that trailer there. Well one of your tips I could buy a service trailer at a trailer store and use it then sell it back meaning it costs nothing. Damn! So many things though, if I knew then what I know now, it would have saved me hours 😄 but I suppose albeit slightly annoying it's all part of the game.
One thing I realised. I assumed you could only buy one of the same vehicle. I think its so great that I can have my two favourite trucks left sat on different maps at the one time and go between them. I just assumed you could only have one of each truck. Yes I know you can retain and take to different garages. But not all maps have garages and even so it is much easier.
My index finger has been swelt from this game
this damn game needs cruise-control just like in Mudrunner..
@@Dimaz42 not to mention manual transmissions with shifter support!!! Just like mudrunner!! Pro tip for index finger..get a wheel!!
@@billygames7107 I can't get a wheel coz I'm living abroad and playing on laptop
@@Dimaz42 tru. Well this game still needs shifter support and need cruise control just like mudrunner and spintires badly!! It’s honestly making me crazy or not being in the game..🤬
@@billygames7107 yea, totally agree with that.. though I ended up cheating by modding the mud and the wheels so it's a bit easier and don't take a long time to play, so my hands aren't that painful anymore 😁😁
this games seems really great ! also i like your content man keep it up you deserve more subs :)
It's good, but also incredibly frustrating sometimes! I keep coming back though.
Tip: if you wanna go downhill and keep control just put it in low, this forces the car to go slow and won’t allow it to pick up speed, need to go lower L-, feeling risky L+
It is the little things. My next task is to mount some headlights onto my trucks. Driving in pitch black night isn’t fun, although I like night time atmosphere.
Great game I have like 200 xbox1x games and I can’t stop playing!!! Lol been Oilfild truck driver for 20 years so right at home they did a Amazing job with the trucks visuals!! I payed 90$ for the game and year pass well spent!!
The visuals are definitely great, even on my aging Xbox One. Glad you're enjoying it!
Anyone else see the "wolf" on black river? It's north of the fuel station closest to the farm. You take that sharp corner and if you slow down the wolf is visible then despawns as you approach.
I've seen photos of it, but not the real thing. Wasn't sure if it was a joke! There should be more animals than birds in SnowRunner.
The devs should add sasquatch as an Easter egg
@@ATribeCalledCars Dev ideas for SnowRunner 2: you can get out of the truck, attach winches and hitches manually and be eaten by a bear in Alaska ("Mission failed, recover truck driver to hospital?")...
I’ve seen the wolf a couple times
I saw that! But then was like....nah.... couldn't have been. Then saw this.
I'm thinking variable chassis length and wheelbase depending on frame add-ons would clear up a lot of space wastage and trailer hitch issues and make for a more truly customisable truck....
Remembering those headlights
Best tip change the steering option to steering wheel. Itll drive like a normal game and auto straighten out
Absolutely! I love the auto-centre wheels for controller.
Great channel love it and point 19 is about headlights
Can anyone tell me why I have no concrete slabs or blocks in Yukon. Can’t go forward with out
Tip 1: Sell everything, go to Russia, buy Azov 64131 - Enjoy easy mode.
Tip 2: Find a contest you like, farm the contest for poinys untill you get to level 10. Go to Russia - Buy the 6 weel scout - Enjoy the rest of the game in easyer mode.
Sound advice!
the spiderman winch name fits so perfect lol ive done that so many times
This game is a SADISTS WET DREAM!
stuck with one mission in the mines at smithville dam, tipped over on narrow hilly roads with all cargo scattered around. Haven't touched it since recovering them keeps failing for me.
I suggest two trucks if you haven’t tried it already, one with a heavy crane and the other with a trailer, and if you keep tipping when trying to lift the cargo, attached the crane to it then just drive backwards, like a winch
Thank you for your tips brother! You helped me out of a mudpit lol
tip: if your stuck is a region you do not like go to contracts and click on the first one it will axantentle show you how to get out of that region (this only works for the first 3 in mishagain)
11:19 I felt that pain I was playing mudrunner I was about to complete a level and then my truck tip over and I was pissed I hat to return to the garage and do the trip again
This helped me so much! Many thanks
Great stuff, cheers for watching.
Just started it and I'm completely lost, it's challenging though which is what I look for in a game
Great tips thank you so much you sound just like Quentin Wilson from top gear
Great video! I do like your Jack Dee-esk commentary!
Ive got the game coming soon,so im sure ill have a another view!!
Cheers Steve, I was a huge Jack Dee fan growing up. I miss comedians like that. Loads of SnowRunner videos in the playlist so knock yourself out!
SPEED IS KEY!!!
But that includes slow speed.
Great video! Keep up the good work
Thanks :)
Wow I just download the game and got to alaska. I'm going to share this with my 2 brothers to let them know to stay in Michigan
Yes it's a good idea to do that. I have a newer tips video for beginners if you've not seen.
I know I'm late to say this but if you have flashing lights they can help you locate your vehicle if it's on a hill as long as you can get the engine to run
that doesn’t make sense, you can locate all trucks from the map and if the engine runs, just drive it out
Great tips! Mine is the warning that the ruts in the roadway are not always the best place to place your tyres as they are often at uneven heights and can cause your truck or trailer to tip over. As for 19, "Remember those headlights!" Still have PS4 code?
I do still have the code, I'll put your name in the hat. I'm actually surprised how few people have tried to enter relative to viewing figures, guess it's because people already have the game when searching for guides! Also that's good advice, especially if you've done a route a few times and worn the mud down more.
Great tips man! This is a nice video
You are most welcome, thanks for watching and commenting.
I dont know if it still works, but a few times when I got stuck I found the horn actually moved the truck a fraction of an inch and unstuck me.
I honked my horn and launched a boat trailer into the air.... Scared me a bit lol.
I used the horn, and all the fences around me (wood) just fell to the ground.
Tip: if you restart the game after flipping your vehicle when you get back on the game it will be upright
I feel like this could be a joke, but I have nothing to lose by trying.
@@ATribeCalledCars I got angry and turned off the game cause I flipped in an area where there was no garage and when I started back up the game to my surprise there was the car good as new. Hopefully it works on all platforms I play on xbox one.
@@ATribeCalledCars and great video by the way I love your commentary its very relatable and helpful it is also very professional
Yes, I just figured this out by getting mad and shutting off the system also...after 4 times in a row making it across the mad and flipping😒
Yep, you just have to make sure you use close application before an auto save hits after you flip a truck. If you close to main menu, it will save your progress.
Awesome video, thank you!!!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Why am i watching this late at night..
great video! appreciated the sarcasm and sardonic commentary. SUBBED! :-D
Thanks, rest assured my next video is going to maintain the level of bad humour.
Not sure if it's in here or not. Always check your parking break. I've gone a long way with it on wondering why it's so sluggish?
Yes! Especially when filming and thinking about other stuff, I often forget.
