[@Sarstan]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Haha yes! I left this on for so long like an idiot.

[@gongo3498]

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!!

[@thomasmorais3749]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Oh this is good, nice work!

[@billseventy6825]

@Ruff House plays , cheers for that info !!!

[@dreadbull5039]

Is there a way to tell which trailers need a high saddle?

[@Yakub-2004]

Ghost it will tell you if you need one or not in the mission

[@highlandcrawler]

Dont forget grey scout trailers :).

[@dreadbull5039]

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!

[@dvdkiwi]

To save time, winch a second trailer behind the attached one.

[@johnsawtell-rickson3957]

@Finska what cheat engine?

[@cavejohnson8665]

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

[@ATribeCalledCars]

This wasn't an option back then but it can help, thanks for the tip.

[@flyfishizationjones4940]

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.

[@DC_Joker187]

Omg you're a life saver. This was driving me crazy lol

[@sodium4225]

Kinda like it tho

[@zapdotshimmy]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

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.

[@katherinecurtis1747]

A Tribe Called Cars well that dont work in 5.0 update you cant steer when your engine is stalled

[@huseyinuguralacatli5064]

I saved my fleetstar that way :)

[@stephenbramley9405]

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,

[@Robert_N]

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.

[@jamesbissonette]

@@Robert_N why would i need tuz then?

[@Robert_N]

@@jamesbissonette The Tuz is a great vehicle for the mud and ice roads. It can drive on any kind of terrain and will never get stuck.

[@jamesbissonette]

@@Robert_N Thanks for replying mate, so far ANK & Azov have never failed me.

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.

[@outdoortv475]

I saw that too

[@cavejohnson8665]

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.

[@vismaykrishna]

there are glass breaking sounds in Michigan at night. probably a robbery

Great tips. SnowRunner has definitely been my lockdown addiction since I got it.

It's hard to stop playing, even though I just tipped over again in Russia. For the 27th time.

[@KansasFarmer]

@@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.

[@Faded28]

[@ATribeCalledCars]

@@KansasFarmer I remember driving to other trucks to swap if you own them, those were the days.

[@alexdesjardins4740]

[@darrenrowley5646]

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.

[@yeahbrahcadabrah]

Day 1... got myself stuck between rocks to just think "oh main menu will reset me.." wrong,lol I started a new game then found the recover option😂

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Haha it's a good job you worked that, not sure anyone could play the game for long without recover.

[@dthompsont3796]

I did the same thing when I got stuck the first time. I also didn't know there was a winch.

[@Breyzipp]

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.

[@PiMaC1985]

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?

[@YG-Editz]

@@PiMaC1985 yes

[@stevecriddle3299]

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.

[@coreydabrowski2249]

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)

[@ryleejohns855]

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

[@ATribeCalledCars]

This is something I wish I had added, it's a great tip that saves losing momentum. Cheers!

[@the_omg3242]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

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.

[@redkaiburr4594]

My Tip: Anything you buy you can sell back for the same price from trucks to tires to parts

[@ATribeCalledCars]

True, although I think they made it so that trucks no longer sell back for the same money. Unless that changed?

[@katherinecurtis1747]

A Tribe Called Cars i think they sell for 3/4 of the stock price like a tatarin will sell for 110k when it buys for 146k

[@danpearce85]

Amazing tip For making tight turns. Put it in low with the handbrake on and floor it! Works best on the bigger trucks!!

[@Dimaz42]

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 🤣🤣

[@zechthompson7688]

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.

[@kelvinerdmann5926]

Wish I knew this earlier could have saved me hours 😅😅😅

[@rusticgeek9400]

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 👍

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Or a big rock! Great trick.

[@A_R_V_I_N]

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).

[@Mr2greys]

So basically cheat gotcha

[@xtremea3165]

@@Mr2greys well no. It's just carelessness with cargo

[@jonumine6250]

@@grimmriffer Imagine having to load every single log that is on a pack instead of loading only three.

[@dan.p.8060]

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.

[@Robert_N]

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.

[@bigdaddy6879]

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. 🤜🏻🤛🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Good tip!

[@Dagreatestwaffle]

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

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.

[@LeeroyDankin420]

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

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Absolutely. And another tip, different lights have different brightness. Useful if you are finding some lights too bright on snow!

[@bcpeppers906]

Amazing tips bro thanks for the educational upload!

[@JubeProductions]

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?

[@kawahenry8716]

Best scout IMO is the Tuz 420 Tatarin. Best truck IMO is the Tayga 6436.

[@grimmriffer]

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.

[@LennyCooley117]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

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.

[@armeno099]

If you're on PC, the host can share the savegame with the other players. That way everyone can have the same progression.

[@that1guy0219]

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

[@briancooper562]

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.

[@Matty_Deez]

Good info! Subbed headlights is 19 ill watch more of these game looks fun

[@samhutchings5573]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

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.

[@edz8351]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Interesting, I should really try my steering wheel again.

[@goasupreme4804]

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

[@Asdprefix]

Why is that better, than pullin the tip of your truck? Or you mean detach, go forward and than pull it?

[@saphire700]

@@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

[@kulturamoto3302]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Yeah a good plan, one I use a lot.

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Yeah money is king early on, for sure.

[@themchannel853]

Good homeworking. Thanks for the tips

No problem!

[@mega1miner176]

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

[@steveyorkshire1797]

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!

Thanks mate. Useful.

Glad you think so.

Brother thank you 🙏

[@ThePlantlife]

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]

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.

[@ThePlantlife]

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

[@ChillingwithMalc]

I saw that! But then was like....nah.... couldn't have been. Then saw this.

[@Badartist888]

3rd time trying to get into the game and I FINALLY learn I can teleport to cars. Well that fixes my biggest gripe. Thanks

[@ATribeCalledCars]

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.

[@nathanjones1215]

How is this possible??

[@lincolnkimball931]

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 😁😁

[@cavejohnson8665]

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.

[@zackw.9793]

Thank you!!

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Anytime!

[@antiquss]

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....

[@Iron4TrollPatrol]

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.

[@christiansvideos]

I honked my horn and launched a boat trailer into the air.... Scared me a bit lol.

[@splezo1927]

I used the horn, and all the fences around me (wood) just fell to the ground.

Thank you, Sir.

[@alterego6075]

Change settings to "Steering Wheel" if you use a controller. This centers the wheels upon release of the joystick and helps the steering tremendously.

[@glogan4078]

Great video. 👍 Tip One... turn Speed to .75.... or stay off the coffee for a day and drop a Xanex. 😁

I HATE how simple and addictive this game is, one of the best games I played all year on PS5. So simple, inexpensive and fun.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Truly a great game, welcome to the club!

[@Tiberiuskirk]

I know it does work with the Thrustmaster TMX But does have major bugs with the accessory controls. Wish I had the Sim farm wheel. But it's a bit out of my range.

[@zeusGamingXbox]

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!!

[@ATribeCalledCars]

The visuals are definitely great, even on my aging Xbox One. Glad you're enjoying it!

[@Nil2none]

Best tip change the steering option to steering wheel. Itll drive like a normal game and auto straighten out

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Absolutely! I love the auto-centre wheels for controller.

[@BestowalPants90]

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

[@HwL01]

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.

[@Dagreatestwaffle]

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

[@RickTait]

great video! appreciated the sarcasm and sardonic commentary. SUBBED! :-D

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Thanks, rest assured my next video is going to maintain the level of bad humour.

[@brandonplaisted8194]

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.

[@kawahenry8716]

Ah yes taymar and zaks

[@ddg79]

Just started it and I'm completely lost, it's challenging though which is what I look for in a game

[@Fandestdh]

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.

[@ATribeCalledCars]

Yes definitely a good trick!

[@midnightproject1386]

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 always stuck in the mud, cant get right tires for mud and i found out i can get out of the mud in tutorial, but when game starts, its impossible to drive. I stuck even on ground where is not so much of mud. I don't know what i am doing wrong, i have only tires that are for normal road, cant get any job done to level up my character to get option to buy tires with chains for mud.

[@gicosx5548]

awd need 3 be turnd in

[@heinrichs.5336]

Which truck do you use? Use the one next to the first garage and upgrade it with awd and a "loading platform" (don't know the exact english word - I mean the thing that allows you to load freight directly on the truck, without the need of a trailer.)

[@andresr6103]

Don't use trailers unless you MUST, they make you get stuck in the mud easier, I hate them, you can load stuff directly in the truck and that's a whole lot better, plus try to level up to unlock the second type of tires, those help too, also try to get trucks with AWD, it's a must, all my trucks have it.

[@granthostheflatulent]

Low ratio usually makes differential locks available (otherwise the wheel with least grip spins, dissipating all the power - even in 4WD). 4WD plus "Diff Locks On" is best for deep mud.

Hi Can you help? I am playing snowrunner on the Xbox series X with the Hori steering wheel. How do you set navigation points and connect them? The steering wheel goes east to west but not north to south to connect the waypoints.
