It’s gonna be awesome! Enjoy!

[@bobanoosh]

Another tip I’d like to give out is about your inventory space. In your truck you have a few cabinets available. I recommend keeping 1.) buying a chainsaw in case you come across a fallen tree in the road, and 2.) store that chainsaw in one of your cabinets in the truck to save space. Same for any of the truck parts/tools.

[@ancienthare]

More great tips for sure! I could probably make another video on these in the future

[@unclegare9778]

And don't forget about the tool box located below the driver's door. Only two spaces but you can use it for things you use frequently and don't want to keep jumping back into the truck for.... like your camera and/or chain saw. Saves on your personal inventory space.

[@clausbaumann8335]

I follow the game since it was in development for PC and it did get better and better. I love the additional aspects compared to a regular trucking game and I hope and wish for gamers and developers that it will be a big success. I am totally hyped and hardly can wait to play on my PS 5 - thats for sure. So thanks a lot for all your gameplay and especially this one. Will be a big help for the first steps..... 😊

[@ancienthare]

Thanks for watching! I’ve been playing since it initially released. They have made a TON of improvements in this game. I find it a blast, because it’s not just your typical driving game

[@tylerstickle2957]

Just picked it up last night on series x. It could be a little crispier on the resolution and the framerate could be smoother but its not unplayable at all. Im loving it so far and hope to see some updates to help with optimization. It has so much potential. Also a little more traffic would be nice to make it feel more alive

[@ancienthare]

More traffic would be nice. I’d like to see some other big rigs as well!

[@lloydeleven9023]

Looks great. Thanks Can’t wait to play it on Xbox

I can assure you the devs are working hard to make this game the best ever. Join the discord, the devs are very active in there. There’s also ways to submit issues and suggestions. This invite link will work for 7 days discord.gg/mJBuyE5Y there’s a lot of helpful people and moderators in there as well

[@salsufan4237]

People living in the Nordic countries know how to drive in winter conditions. It really takes getting used to and know-how. For example in Finland: (Winter) November-March. (Spring) April-May. (Summer:) May-September. (Autumn:) September-October. Greetings from Finland. It's better to buy this game cause finally it's a game where there are Nordic seasons in all kinds of weather conditions.🤩

[@ancienthare]

Glad you’re enjoying it! It really is fun to enjoy all of the seasons! I can only imagine the crazy you can get up in Norway.

[@AnderWess]

This as a multiplayer game or even co op would be amazing!

I was just wondering is there anywhere else I can get a flannel so I can go to ice roads

[@ancienthare]

I tell you where to get the best jacket (Thermo Jacket) in the game in this video at 15:45

[@jayd8995]

What is the price and I can not wait for it and what time does it come out

[@ancienthare]

I'm not sure about the price. They put info out about it, then took it away. I think everyone will have to wait for release to know the price. As far as what time, it looks like 8 am CST. Hope that helps

[@bustersgames3732]

Does anyone know if you lose money when a load is late

[@lttle_ghost3421]

I’ve been playing since release. Plan to get it on ps5 on release as well. I plan to do legendary on the console. However I haven’t played legendary career. Is weather different between the difficulty settings?

[@ancienthare]

The weather seems to be more severe way more often. I've seen few sunny and clear days. It seems to be either snowing, raining or super foggy

[@yaenu93]

Where can i find thermal jacket ? I can‘t find it in any stores ?

[@ancienthare]

One place I know for sure is up where the job sites are for the ice roads. There’s a tiny store up there that has it. There’s a few other places, but I haven’t finished mapping all that out yet

[@christianpadron7456]

Does anyone know if the truck has cruise control? If so how to do set it? I find it pretty annoying to constantly keep using the trigger to stay on the gas

[@ancienthare]

No cruise control unfortunately. I’m hoping they add it soon

[@davemarshall2219]

Is it available in the uk yet as can't see it on the xbox store.

[@ancienthare]

It releases 2 BST

[@bustersgames3732]

How does the point system work and do u have to go from class a to class b or can you skip from class a to class c license

[@ancienthare]

You have to unlock them in order

[@bustersgames3732]

So I have been doing all these deliveries and somehow I am - 57000 so I know how I can make that up fast

[@ancienthare]

Just keep on making deliveries. The money seems to be somewhat better for the long hauls. It also depends on what you're hauling

[@bustersgames3732]

Is there a way you can get the jobs by how much they pay

[@ancienthare]

That would be a nice feature. It's not in there yet

[@jonashagman3631]

Hi. Grate video serie. I have one question. XP. It feels like it will take forewer to lvl upp. Any tips? And in the hardest game mode. Do you lvl faster ? Thinking that you will make more repairs…. Is that correct?

[@ancienthare]

Leveling up isn’t fast by any means, even in legendary mode. You can kind of cheat the system with mechanic and personal xp. Damage the truck intentionally, then do repairs. That’ll help the mechanic levels. Cooking food, clearing road blocks and taking pictures of points of interest will raise personal xp. You could just cook and waste food to raise that quicker. Both ways are gonna cost you, but it’s possible. The trucker xp you get for delivering jobs and I believe that’s all. This might be a good video idea for me to cover in the near future

[@jonashagman3631]

@@ancienthare yes. And it feels like its better to go for the shorter distances. It goes alot faster and not SO big diff in xp. Like 170xp vs. 240xp for longer jobbs.

Also i want to add if u put energy drink in ur truck fridge u can keep it for the double of time of expiration days i think.. .. and i have one question why everytimes i put oil in mt truck i see a red oil logo, in the guide it says old can leak.. does it break my oil tank everytimes i refill it? I though it means cold old or something and it need to warm.. but i did around 1k miles and it didnt change

[@ancienthare]

You are correct, any type of food item put in the fridge doubles its shelf life. Make sure when filling oil, you only fill it between the lines. Don't fill it all the way or you'll damage stuff in your truck
