Getting Started

Before venturing out with your friends, we suggest playing the tutorial, which takes approximately 5 minutes. Resetting the tutorial means you will start it again next time you play in single player mode.

These are the tutorial's tips in the game's own words, sorted by topic.

Driving

“On rough terrain or uphill, use Low Range to gain more traction. On regular terrain, switch back to High Range to gain speed. Choose your routes carefully and be mindful not to get stuck somewhere.”

“If your vehicle struggles on slopes, engage Low Range to gain more traction.”

“Automatic transmission allows for a really calm and meditative ride. But if you feel like being in more control, you can switch to manual transmission in the control settings.”

“At night, it’s impossible to navigate without turning on the vehicle’s headlights.”

Winch

“If your vehicle gets stuck, look around to find something to attach the winch to. A tree is perfect! The object it will latch onto is the one closest to the center of the camera.”

“Sometimes you need more control when using the winch. For these situations, there is the manual winch.”

“Select the attachment point on your vehicle, then select the object you want to attach the winch to.”

Cabins and the map

“Cabins are checkpoints: they restore everything and allow fast travel. Rest to make time pass faster. They also reveal part of the map. Open the map to discover the surroundings.”

“Reach cabins to repair your vehicle, restore equipped tools, reveal nearby points of interest, and unlock new fast travel points.”

“All the icons you see on the map are points of interest. Go there and see what they hide. If you get stuck or want to move quickly, open the map and select a discovered cabin to respawn.”

“If you get stuck, flip over, or get bogged down, open the radial menu and try using your Tools. If you don’t have any, or if they’re not enough, your last option is to respawn by selecting a discovered cabin on the map.”

Mechanic

“From the Mechanic you can change your vehicle or upgrade and customize it. You can also use the Mechanic as a respawn point by selecting its icon on the area map. Here you can choose the vehicle and its various customizations.”

“You can also choose which tools to equip on the vehicle.”

“You can use Pebbles to upgrade the vehicle.”

Exploring

“In the radial menu, you can also find Tools to help you during exploration, as well as the Cassette Player, the Safari Camera and the Compendium to make your journeys unforgettable. Discover them!”

“Look for crates around the regions and approach them to discover what they contain.”

“Explore the world in search of meteorites. At night you can see their glow from afar. Extract them with the winch to earn Pebbles and upgrade your vehicle.”

“Use the Safari Camera to photograph the wildlife for your compendium. To take a valid photo of an animal, make sure the subject is in the center of the frame, at the correct distance (neither too close nor too far), and not obscured by other elements.”
