You talked about the ingame time at the end of the video but you did not mention you could press ''Y'' on Xbox or ''Triangle'' on PS4 to skip time. Useful for those of us who does not like to drive around at night.
That's why I did that, I followed what they said. After like 12h of Alaska I decided to go back because it was too hard without good tires, at least. And then basically I started from bottom with the Chevrolet and the Fleetstar.
Make sure you're delievering trailers/supplies to the correct place... i spent 2 hours getting a semi with a 53 ft tanker trailer up an over the mountain through rocks just to find out i went to the wrong place. Was pissed. Granted I got that truck through some ridiculous places :P
@@brodyweitzel19 as frustrating as it was, I did learn a lot on what the trucks can do and how to get through things even with inadequate tires. I only had highway tires at the time. :P also learned that international loadstar scout has a crap ton of power. Thats what i used to drag my crappy highway truck :P I have better trucks now with all the tire types for most of them. Much easier.
Here is a tip, they're the best part. You can attach a winch and connect two vehicle then pull the other one to where you are going. For instance, I will attach a scout and pull it with a heavy to get to where I'm going, if I need a second truck. You can even pull a scout to another map without a garage, that way you don't have to drive both vehicles. A ramped flatbed works for towing too, but you might not always have access to one. You always have a winch.
@@abdullahashraf2702 I think someone else replied but deleted the answer/question for this. Yes, there are many missions in the first zone that tell you to get metal planks from the metal plank factory across the map, but its just showing you on possible place to pick it up, you could save a lot of time by just going to the warehouse close to your garage and getting the metal planks there.
One thing to add is that sometimes having weight on your truck can help it chew through mud and also helps the tuck stay planted while crossing rough streams. Driving with nothing in the bed of the truck will for sure make it more difficult to traverse deep mud and water. This does not work with trailers because you are dragging dead weight and the less dead weight the better. Loaded truck bed= better mudding results. The axles need that weight to force it down to the bottom of the mud and grab dry ground increasing traction.
Couple things to add, if pulling a trailer and you get stuck and are trees and stuff are beside you and not ahead, the trailer will also have winch points and you can attach the rear winch point on trailer to the trees beside the truck (witch means they are ahead of the trailer) to then winch the whole truck and trailer forward. Also when putting a bed on a truck, you might consider using the flat bed over the box bed, as it carries the same as the box, and will fit loads of pipe that will not fit on the box trailer.
For tip 12, another consideration is that cargo in a trailer is "pulling weight" which lowers your traction where as cargo in your sideboard on the truck is weight on your wheels which adds traction.
I apologize if this info is widely known... I just accidentally discovered that (LB+A for Xbox One and L1+X for PS4 I think. I’m not sure what it is for PC) will turn engine on and off without having to go into the functions menu to turn engine on and off. Hope this helps.
@@CháleloTheAtheist Lol! I had that exact same reaction as you did when I just happened to discover it by accident. Did not see that tip in the pop-up tip tutorials. Keep on truckin’!
I love this game. It's such a massive improvement from Mudrunner and even that game (and spin tires the original game) was so much fun. Snow Runner has so much that you can do on each map.
you remember what happened to spintires? the devs literally put a time bomb on the game to make it crash on the players so noone can play it. its sad lol
You should also look around the map for trailers with cargo on them. Most of the trailers do have cargo which is required for a task or mission nearby, so you only need to pull the trailer a few hundred metres instead of delivering cargo from the warehouse all across the map. On Smithville Dam, service spare parts for the Quarry sit on a trailer just a little further up the road and lumber for the farm sits on a semi trailer just north of it.
A big tip too when ur going round the map in just a scout car and ur just looking and finding stuff take a fuel trailer with u then u can go all over the map and not hav to worry about ur fuel
I also pull a scout fuel trailer and leave it in crucial parts of the map where I know I can use it with other vehicle. I will use a tanker truck to refill the scout fuel trailers sitting on side of road.
I could give you hug for this video! You saved me HOURS! That "focus on tasks first" suggestion is spot on! That downed power line sent me on a HUGE detour yesterday that got me in trouble.
If you're going to sell trailers that have materials on them. You can put a crane on your truck. Unload the cargo and then sell the trailer. This way you have some materials in your yard that can save you time later on.
J DuB bingo, that’s what I’ve been doing. Also when I do a task or objective and complete it, I’ll take supplies back with me for the heck of it if the garage isn’t terribly far or difficult. So my yard where the vehicles and trailers are I can just grab what I need vs crossing the entire map just to pickup a part and come back.
@@thebanksfilms4426 does that actually work? Every time I get materials from an alternate location than what it shows on the map, it never accepts them and I have to drop them then go get the same materials from the designated location
Johnny Waffles it should, I mean I’ve grabbed metal planks from the warehouse vs the store or whatever it’s called in black river. It does have to be packed, and you might have to do another task first. For instance I think it was the oil rig mission in black river where I drove took the massive container to the rig, and it didn’t accept it as delivered until I had metal then the oil rig parts then the oil rig it self.
*Here's an essential trick that carries over from the older Spintires games:* Constantly steer lock to lock (left to right, vice versa) when you're going through mud and water. It'll get you through faster, helps prevent you from getting stuck, or even get you unstuck if you can't winch or pull the truck out. It's extremely useful and I do it all the time. SD1ONE has a helpful video on it.
actually, dont do that if you arent sinking or you will only cause yourself to dig in. there are more stable sections in deep mud that wont displace as easily as others, trying to stay on them will keep you higher with less resistance.
That's what you're supposed to do in real life. A lot of people playing this game really just need to look up some videos of hardcore 4 Wheeling to learn some things.
On the map press Y (Xbox) to skip time...sometimes it’s nicer to be moving through rough terrain during daylight also hold left button and hit B (Xbox) and your lights come on
I wish they let you progress the time, or at least keep it locked on a time. I hate when it starts getting dark and I have to stop, and manually advance time.
If you see you’re going into a part where you could tip over, go ahead and toss a winch out before you go through that part and tap the winch button to keep it taught so you don’t roll. This is especially helpful if you don’t have or can’t use an autonomous winch.
In Smithville dam there is a service area right near the entrance where you can get service parts to bring back rather than bringing them all the way across the map from the warehouse. Wish I discovered that much earlier
To build off of Tip 13 with using a crane. If you have a crane on your vehicle, you can choose to manually load your own cargo instead of it being "auto-loaded" If you manually load your own cargo, I believe you gain a bit of bonus when you complete that task. Also, when you manually load your own cargo, make sure to "Pack Cargo". If you don't pack the cargo after you've loaded it, then your trailer/truck doesn't actually register has carrying cargo...despite you seeing cargo onboard. Also, if you detach from a trailer to recall your vehicle to your garage, make sure the cargo is packed. Otherwise, when you recall your vehicle and the map refreshes, it will force your cargo to clip through the trailer and get stuck underneath it. And if you arrive at a location with the proper cargo and the game doesn't want to register it, leave the "delivery area" and then unpack and repack your cargo. This should then reregister the fact your truck does have the proper cargo and you should then be able to complete the delivery. I've seen people actually give very bad reviews and claim the game is broken/bugged because something happened during their traveling and it caused their cargo to become unsecured and they forgot to repack the cargo (Even going as far as to attack the people in the comments who tried to explain it to them that it wasn't a bug and they just screwed it up themselves.)
I'm so glad to see you guys (content creators) expanding your horizons, beyond just division 2. The game is in such a broken state, and the devs need to understand that players have many other options, and so do you content creators 👍🏽
When you press Y it's not a random object it's the nearest to your centered point of screen, fps view helps with this, to pick objects behind objects look up some. A crane is handy to get you unstuck like high center or to adjust the weight to help you get out or to point straight down to lift your vehicle. If you find a trailer that won't refill fuel. It's most likely used in a mission youre unaware of. Tires and size make a difference but chains are best in snow/ice only mud are best in mud and dirt Always always retain ALL trucks before you change maps If you're stuck and you have a tree in front of you only, you've pulled yourself to it but stuck still... All good. Winch from the rear opposite side of tree and pull past it Steer left and right to WALK a stuck vehicle while management of tire spin...
1 counter point to always think about with cranes, the added weight can and will affect your vehicles power and com. a crane should only be taken when you think you may need it. if you are worried about tipping over or something, attach the rising side of your vehicle to something to prevent a roll, you dont need to pull towards it, just keep driving normally. if you cant get the sides or the back/front is slipping more, attach the furthest point from the weakest stability, if the back is slipping and you connect the front, you will swing around and stay upright.
The tips on how progress works in co-op was VERY handy to know about. Now if I ever get the chance to do any co-op I’ll be much more prepared for it. Thanks for that.
This game was so frustrating in the beginning, I'm glad you guys figured things out, now i know the proper strategy to do better. Another channel also suggested to find all watch towers first then clear all the roads before doing contracts, I did a mixture and it took me days to complete contracts, I found some of the towers, then i started on the contracts that were available and didn't need special trucks. very difficult using back roads because the highways had debris. thanks for this info
Id also like to add a tip. When doing a cargo transport contract, if the drop off location has other pickups look at other available contracts that you can pick up along the way instead of dropping stuff off then going back to the garage or something and then having to go back halfway across the map to get supplies so try not to recall back to the garage if possible. I tend to take a flat bed on the truck then pull the 4 points ramp trailer and maybe tow another behind that giving 10 spaces for supplies. Its extremely heavy but can be easy with proper navigation and steady driving, if i plan on taking a supplies trailer back to sell ill pick up things on my way and then offload them at the garage and then load them when needed.
A big help for me if your having trouble with a trailer and need to turn it around just release it get behind it and winch it and then reverse it. I spent 10 minutes getting no where to do that and get sorted in 30 seconds. Great video.
Also always check all the material a place has available. For example the warehouse has almost everything I believe and has metal parts even though it tells you to go to town to get metal you can get it the same place you would of got the other parts for that job.
It doesn't seem that deep until you start playing. I like how they don't really tell you how to play the game. Deciding how you are going to accomplish a task is half the fun. The planning stage is great and sometimes while I'm not playing, but thinking of the game, I will come up with a solution.
don't leave a truck or trailers load unpacked and switch to another vehicle or garage, your trailer load or truck load will be stuck under your truck and or trailer and very hard to get the trailer off a stuck load truck you can just recover to garage.
super helpful video!! Put a repair unit frame add-on onto a truck and haul that truck full of fuel and repair parts behind your best truck with the winch. This works fantastic exploring and recovering stuck vehicles because you can winch either truck back out from the other one f you get stuck or tip over.
I started watching this video thinking yeah yeah I'll know all these...you proved me wrong! Great video mate. Learned a few things from this, especially about selling trailers and upgrades!!
Great tips, wish I’d seen this before last night. I spent ages trying to get to the Alaskan oil refinery and literally ran out of fuel because I left my bmw engine running. So good you can share fuel, I’ll know for next time. Thanks!
Duuuuuuuude! Your tip about vehicle recovery and your tip about tasks having actual damn tasks and not some achievements stuff as I labeled them by mistake - those were epic!
My biggest concern is not really knowing what trailer or bed you are going to need for certain jobs, how are you supposed to know if you have a big enough trailer or not?
It depends on the cargo and it’s just learning what takes how many slots. A flatbed will take 2 single pieces of cargo or 1 metal plank for example as it has 2 slots and a flatbed semi-trailer will take 5 single pieces of cargo or 2 metal planks and 1 wooden plank for example as they have 5 slots. If you go to the trailer store it will tell you underneath each trailer what they’re capable of carrying 👍
I have completed Michigan and and am moving to Alaska currently and these tips are helpful to new players but I know most to all of this stuff, but to some of my friends that are new to the game this is helpful
Solid tips Born2game. Saber really needs to fix the economy though, because that being able to sell items for the same amount you bought them for nearly ruins the game. That and cost free fuel, repairs and teleportation, all desperately needs to be re-balanced.
Lol. Suprised to see you making this video after watching lot of Division 2 videos. Atm. what I would recommend is to uncover all areas and collect upgrades before doing serious works, as you mentioned. Helps a lot. Greets 😊
For missions that need metal planks (or steel) that are in smithville, just go back to black river and get the metal planks from there, it saves you so much time and I really wish I had thought about this sooner.
What i like about snow runner is a highway truck is still useful. the GMC truck can power through the icy mud in alaska with just highway tires. i tested The GMC truck with an attached heavy crane and highway tires. was able to traverse most areas and was easily able to avoid the obviously bad spots. you guzzle gas like mad though.
When wrenching, if your stuck which from your body instead of front to get those extra few feet of ground cover (how I got the heavy truck out the swamp on michigan ( I whiched to the tree from front but wasnt able to activate so I winched back and used my back to pull me forward and past the tree Domt be afraid to use your other which points other than the obvious And another tip if you start sinking in mud switch to a low gear and if possible engage diff lock I like running my scout in the snowrunner gearbox and use low 3 for swamps and high 1 for minor mud
Yes yes love it and I've found if you hauling a trailer and stuck.. You can winch the trailer to a tree when pulling and it'll help push the trailer forward and if done slowly can even unbury it from all the mud!
Excellent tips, very greatly appreciated. You've earnt a new sub not just on the merit of great tips but by the fact of reading through all the comments you have taken the time to reply to nigh on everyone's comment and that to me sir, goes a long way. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much. You answered a question I have been trying to figure out what happened. I lost one of my trucks doing that in co-op. I had no idea what happened to it until just now. I ended up have to restart my game and buying that truck over. I was so pissed. I was scared to play co-op again because of it.
You’re welcome and if you’re playing coop with random players just host your own and set it to public because then you can’t lose trucks as it will save your progression 👍
You can also refuel from gas trailers in the same manner as two cars. Really helpful when your running low on fuel and the gas station or garage are across the map
Having to accept the tasks each time is a real pain. I've driven through and read almost every task in the starting map but never 'started' them, now I have done all my scouting and a few road unblocks, I have to go over and start each mission individually again, that's a real pain. What I do now is use my scout truck to drive to the start mission area, then quick spawn back to my mission truck or garage to actually do the mission.
i would add that you can use the trailer stores as refueling and repair stations as well. just pull in buy a maintenance trailer, use it then sell it back.
I've found that if I get my GMC highway truck stuck, I can use the Chevy pickup to go up ahead and then attach my winch from the back bumper to the front of the GMC and then drive the pickup in low and AWD, and actually make it through the deep mud. I don't have many vehicles unlocked yet, so I've made do with those and the 18 wheeler by the garage, Fleetstar maybe?
One of my trucks disappeared for me too. I found it in my garage after I rebooted the game. It might not work on the first try though! Also, make sure you haven't retained any of them
dis it happen in the garage? if you have a vehicle that you havent purchased, (one of the ones you found on the map by ubnlocking) if you have that vehicle in the garage and then "recover" another vehicle which you purchased to the garage, it will vaporize that cehicle you got for free.. but you can always purchase it from the store, not that expensive... Also, if you travel to another map via a tunnel, and you arem towing a trailer with your winch and dont have it hitched to the trailer, you will lose the trailer and everything on it... But that sucks man, i havent experiencd one bug yet.. seems reallyrandom. .What platform are you playing on? Im on pc.
Dude i`m playing the game over a week and and i have a blast whit 3 friends in co-op your video is the perfect TIPS for new players. I`m sharing your video for all my friends that want to play this game
Tip #22: Low range works well with diff lock on because it seems to automatically limit wheelspin, but without diff lock on it will reduce power to almost nothing if there is a wheel without traction
Even with full traction it seems to reduce power. I tried it a few times going up a steep hill. Gear 1 in automatic has a lot more power than Low gear, which makes no sense since Low gear should actually be a lower gear with more torque and same power. Power shouldn't change because of gearing. Low gear is only useful if you have a truck which can only engage diff lock in low gear. A truck with permanent diff lock pulls through mud quicker in gear 1 with more power.
@@razorblade7108 if diff lock is always on low it's pointless, but it doesn't have less power just slower wheelspin. That's a big reason never to use low without diff lock on
@@BrokeWrench It has less power, otherwise it would pull you up hills better than gear 1. If torque was the same, power would still be lower because of slower speed, but actually both speed and torque are lower.
@@BrokeWrench I actually think what they did with the Low gears is the same as the three speed settings in Mudrunner which helped people without a steering wheel and pedals to control throttle better. So Low gear is actually first gear with lower throttle and thus less power.
I don't have the game (can't afford it right now), but I'm still watching this and all the ads to support the mad lad known as, Bill!! Also dropped a like. Please make more co-op videos with Pete and Con where you guys do everything except cooperate.
and this moment... when you have 16 level and just realized that you can sell everything for same price as buy it.. omg :D this make sh*t easier :) have a nice day!
I Will give a tip, if you have a cráne, use It to modify the Center of gravity of your truck aka if you have the risk to flip or your engine Is still running, use the cráne and turn It in the way you want, the side where you put your cráne, you Will have More weight in that side, so More traction in that side, It saved me from doing a trip all over again.
Started playing last night and only had about an hour and a half. So still doing tutorials. But as to flipping/stalling and winches ... I of course flipped my starter pickup on its side at one point and stalled. But I simply tapped R2 (I think) and the engine restarted and I was able to winch myself back on my wheels. It did surprise me, because from videos such as these I expected flip/stall = reset. Maybe it was just tutorial, or maybe it was some specific circumstances, but thought I'd mention it.
Advise never drop (detach) a semi trailer with landing gear on soft and in-level surfaces, always find a hard tarmac road where possible if dropping a trailer otherwise when you come back to attach the landing gear will have sunk into the ground making it extremely difficult to reattach later on especially if the trailer in question is loaded, a low saddle might work but trailers can drop lower than that, be careful with that folks.
B2G thx for the tips, only on the 3° day of playing, I figured it out how to turn on/off the lights 😅 but I don't know if is missing or I didn't finded yet or is a upgrade, but I miss the cruise control, my finger hurt after few hours playing lol Good game for all
You can switch the time of the day at any given moment and you should do so while recording a youtube video ;) also you can and maybe should always drive 2 vehicles at a time by winching them together. If you do so the vehicle on the back syncronizes the throttle, brakes and steering with the one on the front! 2 engines are better than 1 in most chases :)
95% of my videos are done in coop where you can’t change time and I like the night time driving. Again, I play in coop so no need for me to winch another vehicle with me
I just got this game for PC and it looks great and would be more fun to play if you could rebind ALL the keys to your own setup. Right now you can rebind only 7 keys. And using the WASD keys to drive is unnatural. I find most of the tasks and contracts impossible to complete because I don't earn enough money to upgrade my vehicles so I end up getting stuck and running out of gas especially scouting around looking for lookout towers. Update: I have a Redragon DITI Mechanical One Handed Gaming Keyboard with OUTEMU Brown Switches. The only 2 keys that you can't rebind in the game that I need are L (Headlights) and M (Map). With the Redragon I can bind the N and P keys on the keyboard as the L and M keys.
Great vid, loving this game, but I'm hoping a lot of these tips will be redundant with patching, multiplayer progress and desync issues in particular. Also rescuing trucks that you then have to return to the area you rescued them from to accept the task to rescue them are a personal pet peeve, I suppose that was a rookie move on my part but still *grumble grumble grumble*.
Nice one mate got some good info there & you reminded me to download the free truck 💪😜 going to have many hours on this game what a step up from mud runner 😎👍
Thanks for the video. Not sure if it’s the same on consoles but on PC I turned off the Grain filter in the Video settings and the game looks a lot cleaner. Wish there was a radio with different channels. Could listen to some Stone Roses or Inspiral Carpets or some Blue Rodeo for when the Canadian Map comes out. Also could use a hardcore mode and or photo mode. I can see myself spending a lot of time playing this game so I’m trying to think of features that I’d like to see in future updates. Just saw Division 2 is nerfing status effect, I’m done. Later.

Trailer stores are basically a fuel/service station. Buy a trailer take the fuel/parts then sell it or leave it for future use.

To be fair to them they do warn you it's probably too hard and to come back later.
That's why I did that, I followed what they said. After like 12h of Alaska I decided to go back because it was too hard without good tires, at least. And then basically I started from bottom with the Chevrolet and the Fleetstar.
@@lordsilver14 The Fleetstar is actually a beast when you start tinkering with it!
its just to make sure you know how to travel before you start ignoring the tutorial bud!

You should also look around the map for trailers with cargo on them. Most of the trailers do have cargo which is required for a task or mission nearby, so you only need to pull the trailer a few hundred metres instead of delivering cargo from the warehouse all across the map. On Smithville Dam, service spare parts for the Quarry sit on a trailer just a little further up the road and lumber for the farm sits on a semi trailer just north of it.
I have a hard time remembering what cargo goes where, and what they look like, especially the icons. I can't tell them apart sometimes.
A big tip too when ur going round the map in just a scout car and ur just looking and finding stuff take a fuel trailer with u then u can go all over the map and not hav to worry about ur fuel
Thomas Stanley with the roof rack upgrade you can get 3 tanks of full I got all the way to Drummond island just scouting around
On the scout 809
I also pull a scout fuel trailer and leave it in crucial parts of the map where I know I can use it with other vehicle. I will use a tanker truck to refill the scout fuel trailers sitting on side of road.

If you're going to sell trailers that have materials on them. You can put a crane on your truck. Unload the cargo and then sell the trailer. This way you have some materials in your yard that can save you time later on.
J DuB bingo, that’s what I’ve been doing. Also when I do a task or objective and complete it, I’ll take supplies back with me for the heck of it if the garage isn’t terribly far or difficult. So my yard where the vehicles and trailers are I can just grab what I need vs crossing the entire map just to pickup a part and come back.
Also.. Use the trailer store as a fuel/repair station. Buy a trailer, use the fill up. Sell the trailer. Saves a lot of running around
@@thebanksfilms4426 does that actually work? Every time I get materials from an alternate location than what it shows on the map, it never accepts them and I have to drop them then go get the same materials from the designated location
@@johnnywaffles2482 if the cargo isn't "packed" it wont accept it so if in the functions is says "pack cargo" thats what you need to do
Johnny Waffles it should, I mean I’ve grabbed metal planks from the warehouse vs the store or whatever it’s called in black river. It does have to be packed, and you might have to do another task first. For instance I think it was the oil rig mission in black river where I drove took the massive container to the rig, and it didn’t accept it as delivered until I had metal then the oil rig parts then the oil rig it self.
*Here's an essential trick that carries over from the older Spintires games:* Constantly steer lock to lock (left to right, vice versa) when you're going through mud and water. It'll get you through faster, helps prevent you from getting stuck, or even get you unstuck if you can't winch or pull the truck out. It's extremely useful and I do it all the time. SD1ONE has a helpful video on it.
actually, dont do that if you arent sinking or you will only cause yourself to dig in.
there are more stable sections in deep mud that wont displace as easily as others, trying to stay on them will keep you higher with less resistance.
That's what you're supposed to do in real life.
A lot of people playing this game really just need to look up some videos of hardcore 4 Wheeling to learn some things.
On the map press Y (Xbox) to skip time...sometimes it’s nicer to be moving through rough terrain during daylight also hold left button and hit B (Xbox) and your lights come on
I wish they let you progress the time, or at least keep it locked on a time. I hate when it starts getting dark and I have to stop, and manually advance time.
If you see you’re going into a part where you could tip over, go ahead and toss a winch out before you go through that part and tap the winch button to keep it taught so you don’t roll. This is especially helpful if you don’t have or can’t use an autonomous winch.
In Smithville dam there is a service area right near the entrance where you can get service parts to bring back rather than bringing them all the way across the map from the warehouse. Wish I discovered that much earlier
Omg this! :D
Kris wish I did too :(
A Garage is just next to this as well.
To build off of Tip 13 with using a crane. If you have a crane on your vehicle, you can choose to manually load your own cargo instead of it being "auto-loaded" If you manually load your own cargo, I believe you gain a bit of bonus when you complete that task. Also, when you manually load your own cargo, make sure to "Pack Cargo". If you don't pack the cargo after you've loaded it, then your trailer/truck doesn't actually register has carrying cargo...despite you seeing cargo onboard.
Also, if you detach from a trailer to recall your vehicle to your garage, make sure the cargo is packed. Otherwise, when you recall your vehicle and the map refreshes, it will force your cargo to clip through the trailer and get stuck underneath it. And if you arrive at a location with the proper cargo and the game doesn't want to register it, leave the "delivery area" and then unpack and repack your cargo. This should then reregister the fact your truck does have the proper cargo and you should then be able to complete the delivery.
I've seen people actually give very bad reviews and claim the game is broken/bugged because something happened during their traveling and it caused their cargo to become unsecured and they forgot to repack the cargo (Even going as far as to attack the people in the comments who tried to explain it to them that it wasn't a bug and they just screwed it up themselves.)
I'm so glad to see you guys (content creators) expanding your horizons, beyond just division 2. The game is in such a broken state, and the devs need to understand that players have many other options, and so do you content creators 👍🏽
When you press Y it's not a random object it's the nearest to your centered point of screen, fps view helps with this, to pick objects behind objects look up some.
A crane is handy to get you unstuck like high center or to adjust the weight to help you get out or to point straight down to lift your vehicle.
If you find a trailer that won't refill fuel. It's most likely used in a mission youre unaware of.
Tires and size make a difference but chains are best in snow/ice only mud are best in mud and dirt
Always always retain ALL trucks before you change maps
If you're stuck and you have a tree in front of you only, you've pulled yourself to it but stuck still... All good. Winch from the rear opposite side of tree and pull past it
Steer left and right to WALK a stuck vehicle while management of tire spin...
1 counter point to always think about with cranes, the added weight can and will affect your vehicles power and com. a crane should only be taken when you think you may need it.
if you are worried about tipping over or something, attach the rising side of your vehicle to something to prevent a roll, you dont need to pull towards it, just keep driving normally. if you cant get the sides or the back/front is slipping more, attach the furthest point from the weakest stability, if the back is slipping and you connect the front, you will swing around and stay upright.
The tips on how progress works in co-op was VERY handy to know about. Now if I ever get the chance to do any co-op I’ll be much more prepared for it. Thanks for that.
You’re welcome 👍
This game was so frustrating in the beginning, I'm glad you guys figured things out, now i know the proper strategy to do better. Another channel also suggested to find all watch towers first then clear all the roads before doing contracts, I did a mixture and it took me days to complete contracts, I found some of the towers, then i started on the contracts that were available and didn't need special trucks. very difficult using back roads because the highways had debris. thanks for this info
You’re welcome mate, I’m glad I can help 👍
Id also like to add a tip. When doing a cargo transport contract, if the drop off location has other pickups look at other available contracts that you can pick up along the way instead of dropping stuff off then going back to the garage or something and then having to go back halfway across the map to get supplies so try not to recall back to the garage if possible. I tend to take a flat bed on the truck then pull the 4 points ramp trailer and maybe tow another behind that giving 10 spaces for supplies. Its extremely heavy but can be easy with proper navigation and steady driving, if i plan on taking a supplies trailer back to sell ill pick up things on my way and then offload them at the garage and then load them when needed.
Robert Schan how were you still moving with all that dead load on your tail
tiangong Li lol a capable truck and not driving right through the middle of a marsh
Robert Schan any recommendations? My azov is a bit slow
A big help for me if your having trouble with a trailer and need to turn it around just release it get behind it and winch it and then reverse it. I spent 10 minutes getting no where to do that and get sorted in 30 seconds. Great video.
Also always check all the material a place has available. For example the warehouse has almost everything I believe and has metal parts even though it tells you to go to town to get metal you can get it the same place you would of got the other parts for that job.
Thank you mate 👍
This game is Addictive and Complex.
It doesn't seem that deep until you start playing. I like how they don't really tell you how to play the game. Deciding how you are going to accomplish a task is half the fun. The planning stage is great and sometimes while I'm not playing, but thinking of the game, I will come up with a solution.
I am 40+ hours in the game and found many good tips and tricks in this video! Great video and hope many players will watch this video!
Thank you and I’m glad the video helped 👍
don't leave a truck or trailers load unpacked and switch to another vehicle or garage, your trailer load or truck load will be stuck under your truck and or trailer and very hard to get the trailer off a stuck load truck you can just recover to garage.
u can also remove item, and then go and get him again
super helpful video!! Put a repair unit frame add-on onto a truck and haul that truck full of fuel and repair parts behind your best truck with the winch. This works fantastic exploring and recovering stuck vehicles because you can winch either truck back out from the other one f you get stuck or tip over.
I’m glad it helped 👍
I started watching this video thinking yeah yeah I'll know all these...you proved me wrong! Great video mate. Learned a few things from this, especially about selling trailers and upgrades!!
Thank you mate, I’m glad I could help 👍
Great tips, wish I’d seen this before last night. I spent ages trying to get to the Alaskan oil refinery and literally ran out of fuel because I left my bmw engine running. So good you can share fuel, I’ll know for next time. Thanks!
You’re welcome mate and thank you, I’m glad I could help 👍
Duuuuuuuude! Your tip about vehicle recovery and your tip about tasks having actual damn tasks and not some achievements stuff as I labeled them by mistake - those were epic!
I’m glad I could help mate 👍
My biggest concern is not really knowing what trailer or bed you are going to need for certain jobs, how are you supposed to know if you have a big enough trailer or not?
It depends on the cargo and it’s just learning what takes how many slots. A flatbed will take 2 single pieces of cargo or 1 metal plank for example as it has 2 slots and a flatbed semi-trailer will take 5 single pieces of cargo or 2 metal planks and 1 wooden plank for example as they have 5 slots. If you go to the trailer store it will tell you underneath each trailer what they’re capable of carrying 👍
And if you look on the map at all the trailers. It will tell you its max capacity of materials it can hold.
I have completed Michigan and and am moving to Alaska currently and these tips are helpful to new players but I know most to all of this stuff, but to some of my friends that are new to the game this is helpful
Congrats on completing Michigan 👍
I want this game so bad. Never liked mud riding but this looks like so much fun, even for a solo player like me.
It’s amazing mate, we literally can’t get enough of it 👍
Solid tips Born2game. Saber really needs to fix the economy though, because that being able to sell items for the same amount you bought them for nearly ruins the game. That and cost free fuel, repairs and teleportation, all desperately needs to be re-balanced.
Thank you mate and I agree some rebalancing could make the game feel better
Thank you man. A few friends introduced me to this game. I went to school for Diesel Mechanics and am working to get my CDL this game is addicting af.
You’re welcome 👍
Lol. Suprised to see you making this video after watching lot of Division 2 videos. Atm. what I would recommend is to uncover all areas and collect upgrades before doing serious works, as you mentioned. Helps a lot. Greets 😊
It’s definitely helpful revealing the map and upgrading trucks before taking on tasks and contracts 👍
This is one of the best tips video for Snowrunner. Awesome job!!
Thank you 👍
Great video. I watched it while the game was downloading. Thanks for all the hints and tips 👍
I'm doing the same haha
You’re welcome mate 👍
For missions that need metal planks (or steel) that are in smithville, just go back to black river and get the metal planks from there, it saves you so much time and I really wish I had thought about this sooner.
What i like about snow runner is a highway truck is still useful. the GMC truck can power through the icy mud in alaska with just highway tires. i tested The GMC truck with an attached heavy crane and highway tires. was able to traverse most areas and was easily able to avoid the obviously bad spots. you guzzle gas like mad though.
When wrenching, if your stuck which from your body instead of front to get those extra few feet of ground cover (how I got the heavy truck out the swamp on michigan ( I whiched to the tree from front but wasnt able to activate so I winched back and used my back to pull me forward and past the tree
Domt be afraid to use your other which points other than the obvious
And another tip if you start sinking in mud switch to a low gear and if possible engage diff lock
I like running my scout in the snowrunner gearbox and use low 3 for swamps and high 1 for minor mud
Yes yes love it and I've found if you hauling a trailer and stuck.. You can winch the trailer to a tree when pulling and it'll help push the trailer forward and if done slowly can even unbury it from all the mud!
Great vid, many thanks for posting, has really helped and improved the experience for me. 👍
You’re welcome and thank you, I’m glad I can help 👍
Excellent tips, very greatly appreciated. You've earnt a new sub not just on the merit of great tips but by the fact of reading through all the comments you have taken the time to reply to nigh on everyone's comment and that to me sir, goes a long way. Keep up the good work!
I’m glad the tips helped and thank you for subscribing mate 👍
Every thing that I needed to know was in this masterpiece video. Thank you!
You’re welcome 👍
Oh wow! I didnt know Ricky Gervais was a gamer!
GREAT video for this first-time player! Thank you so much
You’re welcome mate and thank you 👍
@@Born2Game have you noticed a difference between consumables and spare service parts icons??
i am so thankful that you put how to winch to friends at the beginning of the video. thank you
You’re welcome 👍
Thanks man. I was getting super frustrated in Alaska. I don't have the most time to play so I'd like to be more efficient when I do. This helps!
You’re welcome mate 👍
I definitely learned some handy tricks here, thank you man!
You’re welcome 👍
Never seen such a helpful video and comment section thanks guys really appreciate it.
You’re welcome mate, glad we could help 👍
Thank you so much. You answered a question I have been trying to figure out what happened. I lost one of my trucks doing that in co-op. I had no idea what happened to it until just now. I ended up have to restart my game and buying that truck over. I was so pissed. I was scared to play co-op again because of it.
You’re welcome and if you’re playing coop with random players just host your own and set it to public because then you can’t lose trucks as it will save your progression 👍
Tip 15 you could just teleport to the garage in the next area instead of crossing the entire map
You can also refuel from gas trailers in the same manner as two cars. Really helpful when your running low on fuel and the gas station or garage are across the map
Having to accept the tasks each time is a real pain. I've driven through and read almost every task in the starting map but never 'started' them, now I have done all my scouting and a few road unblocks, I have to go over and start each mission individually again, that's a real pain. What I do now is use my scout truck to drive to the start mission area, then quick spawn back to my mission truck or garage to actually do the mission.
I didn't know you had to "accept" them at first either. I just accept all tasks now, and then select them as I want.
Considering getting the game, Very Nice detail showing everything, Great Video, i think i will eventually give it a go..
Thank you, it’s definitely worth a go 👍
i would add that you can use the trailer stores as refueling and repair stations as well. just pull in buy a maintenance trailer, use it then sell it back.
Great video for a great game
Thank you 👍
Love your division 2 vids and wish I had seen this b4 playing 12hrs of snowrunner and making every mistake possible lol another great post !
Thank you mate 👍
Great information! im happy I found your channel while im still in Michigan. thanks for the work put in
You’re welcome, I’m glad I could help 👍
I've found that if I get my GMC highway truck stuck, I can use the Chevy pickup to go up ahead and then attach my winch from the back bumper to the front of the GMC and then drive the pickup in low and AWD, and actually make it through the deep mud. I don't have many vehicles unlocked yet, so I've made do with those and the 18 wheeler by the garage, Fleetstar maybe?
Such a helpful video - thanks tons!
You’re welcome 👍
So many bugs for me. Especially one where a truck that you own seemingly vanishes, forever.
One of my trucks disappeared for me too. I found it in my garage after I rebooted the game. It might not work on the first try though! Also, make sure you haven't retained any of them
I thought I was missing trucks too until I realized each garage has slots. Check there. on PC its Q and E to move between slots.
dis it happen in the garage? if you have a vehicle that you havent purchased, (one of the ones you found on the map by ubnlocking) if you have that vehicle in the garage and then "recover" another vehicle which you purchased to the garage, it will vaporize that cehicle you got for free.. but you can always purchase it from the store, not that expensive... Also, if you travel to another map via a tunnel, and you arem towing a trailer with your winch and dont have it hitched to the trailer, you will lose the trailer and everything on it... But that sucks man, i havent experiencd one bug yet.. seems reallyrandom. .What platform are you playing on? Im on pc.
Dude
i`m playing the game over a week and and i have a blast whit 3 friends in co-op your video is the perfect TIPS for new players.
I`m sharing your video for all my friends that want to play this game
Thank you for sharing mate, I appreciate the help and I’m glad the video helps 👍
Tip #22: Low range works well with diff lock on because it seems to automatically limit wheelspin, but without diff lock on it will reduce power to almost nothing if there is a wheel without traction
Even with full traction it seems to reduce power. I tried it a few times going up a steep hill. Gear 1 in automatic has a lot more power than Low gear, which makes no sense since Low gear should actually be a lower gear with more torque and same power. Power shouldn't change because of gearing. Low gear is only useful if you have a truck which can only engage diff lock in low gear. A truck with permanent diff lock pulls through mud quicker in gear 1 with more power.
@@razorblade7108 if diff lock is always on low it's pointless, but it doesn't have less power just slower wheelspin. That's a big reason never to use low without diff lock on
@@BrokeWrench It has less power, otherwise it would pull you up hills better than gear 1. If torque was the same, power would still be lower because of slower speed, but actually both speed and torque are lower.
@@BrokeWrench I actually think what they did with the Low gears is the same as the three speed settings in Mudrunner which helped people without a steering wheel and pedals to control throttle better. So Low gear is actually first gear with lower throttle and thus less power.
First person mode by clicking the right stick helps a lot when snaking through tight groups of trees. Especially with a Scout vehicle
I don't have the game (can't afford it right now), but I'm still watching this and all the ads to support the mad lad known as, Bill!!
Also dropped a like. Please make more co-op videos with Pete and Con where you guys do everything except cooperate.
There will be more mate and thank you for the support 👍
It’s always a pleasure to support amazing content creators!👍🏻👍🏻
Did you find the hidden truck that is all wheel drive there in Alaska?use the navstar that sucker is a beast through things.
I'd say sell the Navistar and buy a Paystar. It's a far more useful truck
Haha I love when English people say "garage"
You’re welcome mate 👍
This Game is so addictive, thanks for the tips 👍
You’re welcome 👍
Oh use 2 scouts for exploration tasks more then usual there's 2 or 3 check points, switching vehicles helps get thing done quicker
and this moment... when you have 16 level and just realized that you can sell everything for same price as buy it.. omg :D this make sh*t easier :) have a nice day!
#21 you can change the time of day in the map menu (Y for Xbox), this will allow you to see better or display your truck when making tip videos
great video think you so helpfull an filled up my note pad
Thank you, I’m glad it helped 👍
Hell to the yes to all of this.
This video is fantastic. Thanks for all the tips!!
You’re welcome, I’m glad I could help 👍
Thank u so much im new to this game and almost stopped played but I couldn't for some reason. This video really helped me
You’re welcome 👍
I Will give a tip, if you have a cráne, use It to modify the Center of gravity of your truck aka if you have the risk to flip or your engine Is still running, use the cráne and turn It in the way you want, the side where you put your cráne, you Will have More weight in that side, so More traction in that side, It saved me from doing a trip all over again.
Started playing last night and only had about an hour and a half. So still doing tutorials. But as to flipping/stalling and winches ... I of course flipped my starter pickup on its side at one point and stalled. But I simply tapped R2 (I think) and the engine restarted and I was able to winch myself back on my wheels. It did surprise me, because from videos such as these I expected flip/stall = reset. Maybe it was just tutorial, or maybe it was some specific circumstances, but thought I'd mention it.
Sounds like you rocked/bounced back on to your side more. If the truck is 90 degrees or less, it will restart. Over 90 and it won't.
@@konarider443 That makes sense - thanks!
Great tips. Been playing but taught me some new helpful things. Thanks mate!!
You’re welcome mate, I’m glad I could help 👍
Advise never drop (detach) a semi trailer with landing gear on soft and in-level surfaces, always find a hard tarmac road where possible if dropping a trailer otherwise when you come back to attach the landing gear will have sunk into the ground making it extremely difficult to reattach later on especially if the trailer in question is loaded, a low saddle might work but trailers can drop lower than that, be careful with that folks.
Great video glad I found this one thank you!!!
You’re welcome and thank you 👍
I love tips! The tip is the best part.
B2G thx for the tips, only on the 3° day of playing, I figured it out how to turn on/off the lights 😅 but I don't know if is missing or I didn't finded yet or is a upgrade, but I miss the cruise control, my finger hurt after few hours playing lol Good game for all
You’re welcome mate and there is no cruise control
You can switch the time of the day at any given moment and you should do so while recording a youtube video ;) also you can and maybe should always drive 2 vehicles at a time by winching them together. If you do so the vehicle on the back syncronizes the throttle, brakes and steering with the one on the front! 2 engines are better than 1 in most chases :)
95% of my videos are done in coop where you can’t change time and I like the night time driving. Again, I play in coop so no need for me to winch another vehicle with me
Use a different control template in gamepad options for more controls with unused buttons! Scheme 4 is in my opinion the best.
Thanks man, I found your video really helpful.
You’re welcome mate, I’m glad it helped 👍
Thanks was gonna go online but will wait till have more maps open enjoy all
You’re welcome 👍
I really miss a guy on a mountain bike in this game. :D
Your a legend made my game easier
Thanks so much man!!! Really improved my gameplay experience.
You’re welcome mate 👍
I just got this game for PC and it looks great and would be more fun to play if you could rebind ALL the keys to your own setup. Right now you can rebind only 7 keys. And using the WASD keys to drive is unnatural.
I find most of the tasks and contracts impossible to complete because I don't earn enough money to upgrade my vehicles so I end up getting stuck and running out of gas especially scouting around looking for lookout towers.
Update: I have a Redragon DITI Mechanical One Handed Gaming Keyboard with OUTEMU Brown Switches. The only 2 keys that you can't rebind in the game that I need are L (Headlights) and M (Map). With the Redragon I can bind the N and P keys on the keyboard as the L and M keys.
Use a controller
Great video buddy ! Keep up the great work
Thank you mate 👍
Great vid, loving this game, but I'm hoping a lot of these tips will be redundant with patching, multiplayer progress and desync issues in particular. Also rescuing trucks that you then have to return to the area you rescued them from to accept the task to rescue them are a personal pet peeve, I suppose that was a rookie move on my part but still *grumble grumble grumble*.
Thank you and I’m hoping there’s a fix coming soon 👍
Nice one mate got some good info there & you reminded me to download the free truck 💪😜 going to have many hours on this game what a step up from mud runner 😎👍
Thank you mate, it's definitely going to bring many hours. I'm loving this game :D
Cheers mate!! These tips help heaps!!!! I’ll do much better now..
😎👍🏽
You’re welcome mate, I’m glad I could help 👍
Thanks for the video. Not sure if it’s the same on consoles but on PC I turned off the Grain filter in the Video settings and the game looks a lot cleaner. Wish there was a radio with different channels. Could listen to some Stone Roses or Inspiral Carpets or some Blue Rodeo for when the Canadian Map comes out. Also could use a hardcore mode and or photo mode. I can see myself spending a lot of time playing this game so I’m trying to think of features that I’d like to see in future updates. Just saw Division 2 is nerfing status effect, I’m done. Later.
You’re welcome and photo mode would be an amazing feature. I don’t think grain filter is an option on console but I’ll have a look. Cheers mate 👍
Born 2 Game Thanks for the response. Pretty sure that you respond to all of my comments. Do you even sleep ? Anyways glad that you are covering this game and keep up the good work. Going to try some Multiplayer with my Buddy this week.
You’re welcome and yeah I sleep haha. Thank you mate, have fun with your buddy 👍
