14 BEGINNER TIPS to Know BEFORE Playing Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game

[@BuckeyeBunny]

What are your TIPS for Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game?

[@8Slim4]

I would probably say that selling most of the vehicles at the beginning is good way to get enough startnig money. I had like 7 vehicles already and used only three, so sold the others. But the tip of your with moving invetory to base camp before leaving is great, didnt thought about that.

[@BuckeyeBunny]

@@8Slim4 As a hoarder, it was a tough pill to swallow to sell my duplicate vehicles, but I did, and now I'm a rich sugar mama. 🤣 Thanks for the tip!

[@Fatt_Tony]

I'd say delete it and install snowrunner instead.

[@BuckeyeBunny]

@@Fatt_Tony Ouch 🤣🤣 Yeah, if you're a diehard SR fan, Expeditions is indeed a change of pace.

[@Fatt_Tony]

@BuckeyeBunny if the missions had an impact that I could feel or see or benefit from, then I would want to do it more. In snowrunner, some missions result in bridges being built and road obstacles to be cleared. Doing these little jobs makes doing the bigger jobs easier to plan and execute later on. Snowrunner brings so much to the table that can make or break your experience, whereas in expeditions, it just feels like go here and do this just because. There's no feeling of accomplishment. It feels like a nicely detailed game that is missing something huge inside. The other gripe i have is the user interface. Yikes.

ON XBOX - In order to see the "Recover Truck" option, I had to first select the base, and then press "CLICK RIGHT STICK" and then I was able to see the "recovery" option. no idea why this is.

[@B2street]

I got stuck at that part earlier today 😭

[@HIAM420]

@@guybrushthreepwood8174 broooo I had this problem too I got the game today on game pass. I do see why it’s on game pass I thought the game was really cool and it is but it’s sooooo BADDDDDD!!!!! Everything is over confusing than it needs to be and I had to delete my save file in the first 5 minutes due to my truck being stuck on the first expedition mission not a good look to start off with

I Absolutely Love Snowrunners and Mudrunners!! 🤩

[@BuckeyeBunny]

For real? I didn't know you played those! 😊 This one is great if you like the smaller trucks and off-road driving.

[@dakotam9358]

You can use multiple anchors and stay attached to the previous while attaching to another using the option wheel to select the winch. Very useful when climbing over large rocks

[@R1eger25]

use high range when possible. it stops the trucks trying to shift into 2nd gear when climbing causing it to stop. high range has plenty of torque for climbing.

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Great tip, thanks!

[@nicholasholloway8743]

Ah, good ol trick i use in Snow runner, also if on flat ground use 2WD as using 4 just waste more fuel.

[@inaki7402]

I love keeping anchors at the base, never thought of that. Thanks 😊👍

[@mikeymcmikeface5599]

maybe a bit fast for a beginner video but good

[@eduardovillalobos4722]

Tip I discovered recently. Each objective or expedition tells you the distance you will be traveling. And each vehicle tells you how far it can travel on the amount of gas it can carry. So plan accordingly

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Great tip! I always look at that distance and make sure I have about 30% more fuel, as I tend not to take the most efficient route. 😁

[@erichr.607]

You turn on the differential lock while in the reverse gear, even though it gets turned off when you cycle through Low > Auto > Reverse.

Always turn off your engine while looking to the map or exploring with your drone. It saves a valuable amount of fuel

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Good tip, thanks!

[@madmanpatty8724]

Use your drone with the operator specialist to easily uncover the map

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Ooh, I haven't really looked at all of the team members' skills, good tip, thanks!

"If you wanna watch a middle aged chick wreck her jacked up whip" I totally subscribed, that sounds amazing. Thanks for the video. As a man that recently moved and no longer have the same access to overlanding, I'm filling the gap with this game.

[@BuckeyeBunny]

LOL, thanks, home slice. 😁 Virtual mudding is pretty darn fun, and you don't have to clean the caked up mud off your undercarriage afterwards. 🤣

[@Darth0308]

Oh wow, I appreciate the metal detector info. Had no idea lol.

[@BuckeyeBunny]

No problem, and I think the recent update just added a new icon for the metal detector to reveal...something about treasure.

@@chanhmilner2670 Later on, you can use a drone to refuel, but otherwise, you can pull up the menu and cancel the expedition and return to headquarters. That happened to me, and so I started bringing at least two vehicles with me (and extra fuel). You can always drive the second to you and transfer fuel.

subbed.. thank you for a detailed beginners guide. I was watching some dude with way more subscribers but I quickly lost faith in him when he was using hacks to have unlimited cash enabling to buy everything he could. I dont play that way. I play the way the devs intended

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Aw, thank you. :) I prefer "vanilla" game versions because I'm old school (and old, lol), though I did download the new free Islands map for Expeditions, as it's fun to have a new biome to explore.

[@jonzo22]

This may be the most complicated game of all time

[@tomasburian6550]

Definitely, it's not a game you finish in 8 hours, you need to pay attention and learn and most importantly, be patient.

[@BuckeyeBunny]

There are a few missions that made me want to cry. 🤣 But the others are pretty chill once you get better gear and learn to bring multiple trucks with you. ♥

[@chevyhp]

Another great video😀👍

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Thanks again! 😊

[@tomasburian6550]

My tip is: don't delete the game when your truck tips over :D Also, be sure to use bonuses from specialists ;)

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Oh dear...sounds like you had a rough start. 😂 But the specialists are indeed OP, especially the extra drone distance and fuel capacity. Wise advice. ♥

[@pinkster0078]

Great video. Can you tell me what a sideboard is in a base module??

[@pinkster0078]

Sorry, another question, does your inventory stay with you from expedition to expedition??

[@BuckeyeBunny]

No, once you end the expedition, you are forced to sell your anchors and jack screws back at 50% the purchase price, so it's wise to store them in your base for later use before ending the mission.

[@pinkster0078]

@@BuckeyeBunny So when I choosing a truck I have my inventory and the store has its inventory but it also has a sideboard…..what’s a sideboard.

[@BuckeyeBunny]

@@pinkster0078 The sideboards are items that go in storage slots of accessories like roof racks, side storage racks, and some bumpers. I put fuel, parts, and spare tires in my sideboards, if I have them on a truck.

[@tallyforeman3145]

How do you actually start playing? I selected stone ford. Clicked everything I could see and could never leave the menus and actually play the game.

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Hmm, are you playing on XBox? I'm wondering if that might be a bug...might be worth posting in their Discord. Wish I had a suggestion for you. :(

[@tallyforeman3145]

@@BuckeyeBunny I finally figured it out. I'm on pc. After selecting what vehicle and accessories and such, you gotta go back one or two menus to find drop in or something to that effect at the bottom left. The devs get an A+ for hiding stuff from me 😂

[@NWcpl]

Sometime i see a way to recover an anchor so you dont lose them and other times it won't let me. Do you know why? maybe a video to show how to recover an anchor. I didnt know you could recover them and lost a fair amount assuming it was a one time use!

[@BuckeyeBunny]

So there is a type of reusable anchor, notated by circular arrows on the icon I believe. I'm not aware that you can buy them, but there is one in the air drop just outside your outpost on Little Colorado map. Not sure where to find them on the other maps just yet. :)

I mainly go for survival games, but I got this game with zero regrets. If like me, you invert the Y-axis or up/down controller option, you can turn it on in settings, but it's not working when I use the binoculars and drone. Is anyone here experiencing this?

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Hmm, I wonder if this is a bug. They just pushed out their first game patch to Steam users today...console is coming. Hopefully that can be addressed. Glad you're enjoying the game though!

Have you figured out when is the recovery free and when do you have to pay?

[@BuckeyeBunny]

So far, I have not had to pay, but I've heard others talk about paying for it, so I'm thinking the fee might be added as you progress into the game farther.

[@xxxjeffersxxx1]

I think you first recovery is free per expedition after that you'll be charged a fee

[@jjdebolt2771]

I understand why they made recovery not free for realism but it's not practical for the game especially since money is a rare quantity. So far I like the game even if it's glitch but it needs more maps .

[@roryhann5973]

I still can’t play the free roam after doing the mission I’ve done 3 and it’s telling me to keep doing them

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Are you on PC or console? I'm wondering if this is a console bug that might be addressed in next week's update.

[@tomasburian6550]

Did you do the mission the free roam has as a condition to unlock?

[@DeenanTheKemon1]

I'm enjoying this game believe me.. but does anyone else feel like its.. kind of.. too easy?.. I'm CRUISING thru the challenges, FAST. I haven't flipped my vehicle once in over 30 hours, rendering some gadgets pretty redundant (I literally haven't used the JackScrew once). is this an everyone problem, or a me problem? I have over 2000 hrs in Snowrunner and I felt as though the difficulty in SR was WAY higher than in Exp.. maybe just my opinion, but are any other players feeling the same way..? DGMW I enjoy the game and It's super fun to play, just really hoping the difficulty increases at some point. 🤷‍♂️

[@BuckeyeBunny]

Although I'm enjoying being successful with my missions as long as I plan appropriately, I get what you mean. As a Snowrunner beginner, I remember having to restart missions ALL the time, getting stuck to no avail, and having to leave trailers in mountain passes because I didn't yet have the proper equipment to get them unstuck. I have a feeling the later Expeditions missions will be tougher though. I wish they'd add a difficulty toggle to help adapt the game to player skill.

@@BuckeyeBunny exactly. I am FLYING through this game. I'm almost entirely done with it. I beat the game before they even released a patch.. that's pretty bad. Here's hoping for more content 🤔

If you're referring to the tutorial, it froze on me when I started, but I thought they had fixed the bug. Now that the game is on XBox/Game Pass, I'm thinking there may be more bugs they need to tend to. Restarting the game progressed it for me, maybe it'll work for you. Otherwise, you could post in their Discord for help.
