Driving

When exploring Snowerunners open world always keep an eye on where you are going. The 30square km map is filled with danger and you will need to overcome with careful driving. Precise accelartor control will be needed to get you through most areas. Spinning your tyres too quickly will get you stuck, four wheel drive can help give tyres that extra bit of traction and a differential lock will help you maintain control of the road. With careful stick shifting and a cool head you will be able to get yourself out of seemingly impossible situations. The trick is feeling for spots in the mud where you have the most traction and when you find them attack carefully, attacking too fast will make the tyres slip putting you in a worse place than when you started. If things look hopless you can always use your trusty winch to get you out of tight spots or ask a friend for backup.

Exploring

The many regions and open world maps you can explore are filled with contracts and hidden secrets. Each contract is designed with the SnowRunner sandbox in mind. Contracts can be anything from a simple delivery mission to rescuing a damaged vehicle. There are no waypoints and no set paths. The method to complete the task is entirely up to you. Keep in mind the material, wieght, and how it is packaged will affect your vehicles center of gravity, and if you are delivering cargo and own a crane you can net bonus points if you load the cargo yourself. As you complete contracts the world will start to change, bridge contruction and road clearing can potentially reshape a map and will give you new routes to explore which can then be taken to do even more ambitious contracts.
