*MULTIPLAYER WINCH TIP TO ATTACH TO ONLINE PLAYERS* To winch onto online players, you have to go into the pause menu - manage party - allow other players to winch my truck. *IMPORTANT TRUCK STORE TIP* Depending on if you are in the U.S.A or Russia regions in the game, the truck store will have entirely different vehicles to buy.
Boomstick Gaming how do you tow someone in another truck it keeps on saying winch suggestion denied
How to transfer vehicles from one garage to the other garage
PARIS CARTER if on Xbox press x to retain it into trucks so you can take it out when you move region or map
Thank you really appreciate it
Your welcome
I pressed F by accident while driving down a road at high speed and the car’s winch hooked to a post and flipped my truck and broke it lol. Its one hell of a game tbh,such a good feeling driving those trucks.
Hmmmmm... I know what I'm doing today.
Lol i did too today

This game is incredible. The attention to detail and realism is amazing. For example if you own the chevy pick up and get stuck you can call your boyfriend to bring his chevy truck to help get you out then you can go "camping" together. 10/10 for realism cuz thats exactly how chevy truck drivers are
And when you have pick any ford truck it gives you the option to drive shirtless and the radio can play the whole back catalog of Shaina twain😉 😂
Hahahahjahahahahhahahahahaahha
glenn lee bruh you don’t need a ford to have a little fun
@@glennlee516 Your Ford don't impress me much...
@@callmecomrade7773 hahahahHa
For extra cash sell excess trailers at the trailer store.
Damn I didn't think about that thanks mate
O_O
@Sunaan S no
Biggest money maker right here, use the map legend to locate them all if you’ve done the towers
@tom tom Yes and no. They are generally placed where they are because a task on the map will require the resource. But you can just source the resource from a building if you have it unlocked.
My only complaint with this game is the steering. You can't drive anything in a straight line after 3rd gear lol.
Jigga FIRE facts
Jigga FIRE it's so bad. Hope they fix it and get it to recenter quicker, like gta or any other game ever.
@@Theoloop I understand why they have it the way it is for low speed driving, but they really need to have the tire recenter past a certain speed or gear.
The camera too, the majority of the time it's good, but in certain areas or trailers it forces you to look straight down making it impossible to drive. Lost a trailer last night because I couldnt see
I dont have this problem because I use a wheel but I have another problem, THERE IS NO SUPPORT FOR MANUAL!!! yet.
Jesus... I wish I had seen this video in the very beginning, I’d have way more hair.
Angel of Verdun same 😂😂😂
Same here. Driving that shitty Pickup to the Gasstation in Alaska was the worst.
I felt this comment in my soul...
@@Gallus-gallus - Bro, it's a fucking Chevrolet Blazer! It's only "shitty" because this game makes every type of terrain be some variation of quicksand but that thing is a GREAT vehicle for hardpack and gravel IRL!
Gallus yeah the CK1500 was pretty bad full stock but when I got some good upgrades it was a beast.
The biggest tip in the biggest trick to this game is always take two trucks wherever you go. Leaving the garage? get two similar trucks out hook the winch up to the other one and it will automatically drive with you, now you have a convoy that pretty much can never get stuck.
Oddest game ive purchased to date, and while the start is a bit frustrating, (keep getting stuck) these tips are very useful, thank you!
Welcome!
Well that’s the game go slow don’t rush and plan ur next move
If u have any highway trucks do yourself a favour and sell them. I got so frustrated using the highway trucks they give you they are useless
@@internetexpert8153 love your google name☺😁👍👍thanks for advice
If you think this game is odd what would you call 'Spintires'? That's where it all started..
Good tips. I'd also strongly suggest when first exploring the maps to unlock watchtowers and collect upgrades, if you are close to a "task" icon you should drive up to it and activate it (don't have to actually do the task) and this then adds it to your task list in the menus so you can see the task details (source/destination locations etc.) Also if you find the steering a bit weird with a controller you NEED to go into settings and change the steering mode from "Controller" to "Steering Wheel" (yeah makes no sense) and it works much better
ty so much for the controller tip
@@Cloudyyyy88 I'm going to try the steering tip now, thanks.
I actually rather like it. I like that it’s “holds its angle” a little more.
I love this game, so much!!! I purchased it in the afternoon when I got off from work at 4:30pm, and before I knew it, it was 12 am and i had to be at work by 7. I was super super late today because of this game.
One thing to note. You can actually gear select while driving in automatic by clicking or tapping the clutch. This will put you in the proper gear for the speed your moving and also helps going through the gears faster but also helps in downshifting to keep your momentum as opposed to always shifting back to first gear.
Never thought I would like a game like this, yet I started playing last night around 6pm and ended up playing until 3am. I spent over an hour just getting a trailer from one side of the map to the other (only to find out I couldn't even sell it!!!!), as it kept getting stuck. Also spent hours and hours just doing one mission, because I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get the concrete I needed to a specific location (I have since found out clearing powerlines is as simple as clearing the roadblocks is... at first when I saw fallen powerlines on the map, I thought it would be a mission way later where I had a big crane or something). I loved every second though, finally getting the concrete to the bridge was so satisfying.
sameee hehe
I was very intrigued when I saw the trailer for this game but now after watching reviews, gameplay and now this helpful progressional video I am 100% sold. Thank you Boomstick
This video is probably the most valuable 6 mins to new players like me. It answered every question I was searching for. Thank you!!!
Buddy and I started the same day. Spent 6 hours trying to do 2 missions. We were dumb and used the GMC you get at first not realizing the golden gem thats outside the first garage. The fleetstar is a beast.
The only beasts IMO are the Tayga and the Tuz.
It easy as heck to play and relaxing, almost fell asleep I was so relaxed, that was until I flipped my truck a few times. Lol
Extremely thankful for this video! I was trying to figure out how to store all my vehicles instead of leaving one outside of the garage. Thank you!
Just ordered this game today, first step into the series. Thanks for making this for new players!
Started yesterday, never played any of the SpinTires /Mud Runner games but I'm really into it so far. One thing that annoys me is that you don't really need to rescue stranded / new found vehicles. Once you're close, you can just swap to the vehicle and recover. This seems to make that part of the game a bit to easy. But I guess it's up to the player whether or not you want to use "recover" or try to properly winch it out of the muddy situation first.
Most of my time has been spent stuck in an area and trying to winch myself out for a while just for the fun of it 😁 (I hate resorting to recovering) this game is great on so many levels
If you ignore resorting and recovery basically puts the game in hard grind mode
@@Nathan-gj8ch what is ReStore ?
Super - much better & clear coverage of the basic tips (than other channels). Explaining the real basic-game of how it works would be handy too.
Most relaxing game ever! Loving it!!
This video is CLUTCH. Definitely needed especially for any players not familiar with mudrunner mechanics. Great video thanks!
thanks for this! Snowrunner captured me quite heavily. SKip time button and strategy to look for stuck vehicles is gonna make my play even oh-so-better.
Been playing this game in and out for a year. And only now I figured out how to see what resources different places have to offer. Thankssss
*Here's an essential trick that carries over from the older Spintires games:* Constantly steer lock to lock (left to right, vice versa) when you're going through mud and water. It'll get you through faster, helps prevent you from getting stuck, or even get you unstuck if you can't winch or pull the truck out. It's extremely useful and I do it all the time. SD1ONE has a helpful video on it.
Wish, I watched this before I started playing, already figured this out but took me a while! Great tips!
I had to start a new game cause I jumped the gun and it wouldnt let me unload at the old bridge for some reason. Let's try again..
@@sigaries4062 I've had some glitches too, I hauled concrete and metal to build a bridge on Drummond Island, the metal worked, but when I selected the concrete, it just disappeared. Also the camera changes to top down randomly and it's extremely obnoxious.
Great video. I'm also taking the same approach. Watchtowers, road blocks then upgrades. Saves time in the long run.
Thanks very much for this video man. I've never played a game like this before, amazing feeling when you complete an objective.
wow, im new to the series and i pretty much rage quitted all my sessions so far, but this is very helpful, especially the offroad truck wich stucks in the water i couldnt get out, i forgot that i can just send him to garage also the switching trucks no matter where they are i missed, thanks alot for this guide, cant wait to get back into it after i finished my meal.^^
Enjoy!
CANT WAIT TO GET THIS GAME!!
Yeah this game is driving me nuts trying to do my first couple contract jobs with the first big shitty truck. Constantly having to reset to garage
@@andrew8440 What helped me alot, is selling all the crap trucks you found in the first map after exploring it with a scout and buy the Paystar, its an offroad truck, you will start to love the game.^^
@@andrew8440 drag the broken down truck outside of your first garage and get it fixed. That fleetstar with a few upgrades will perform more than well enough to do all of the missions in Michigan including hauling the oversized construction trailer.
Also the low gears are super crucial to learn it makes everything a lot easier when in slow mud and pulling trailers. It's almost required to learn when getting to maps like Alaska and Russia
Hey appreciate you taking the time to do this video! Love this game but I just can't seem to get the hang of it but I think I was jumping into contracts too soon but I'm going to try it your way
Wow, i towed the scout 800 with the winch all the way back to the garage. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you so much i couldnt figure out how to get two vehicles at once
I just wish they made mud tyres/offroad tyres available at a lower level. I guess it's so you figure out the limits of what road tyres can do.
i got offroad tyres immediately once the first garage was unlocked
Where’s the fun in that?
@@prince_warhero Um, that's a lie.....
@@KZheadDeletesComments I could buy for my scout when the game took me to Alaska garage as part of tutorial . May be pay more attention to the game ?
Can always buy that dlc jeep looking thing. Or maybe you should've gotten the deluxe edition with the season pass
Thank You for being the only person I could find to explain the fast travel. TY TY!
Welcome
Your explanation of multiple truck management was very helpful. Thanks!
Clearing roadblocks is another good way to level up fast and it can be fun too BTW. Just go map to map (1st 3 maps) find the watchtowers then clear the roadblocks by the time you finish that you should have enough upgrades unlocked to effectively make it in some of the roughest spots
Good stuff. New to the game and a new sub. I will be referring to your content often. Thanks
Great. Thanks!
Great video, Helped a lot
Thanks man its my first video for help with snowrunner and that 6 minutes had crucial tips id need u definitely got my subscription 👍🏽💪🏾👌🏾🙌🏾👋🏾
Another tip is when youre carrying speed but hit mud/snow/swamp and dont want to lose momentum waiting for the driver to shift to 1st if you tap the L1/LB button it will shift into the correct gear
Thanks bro, so many tips I didn't know. Just got the game a few hours ago, it's fun and challenging, which just makes it more rewarding!
To add to this, I just got an expensive flat bed trailer that I bought for doing missons/transporting materials and I got it stuck in the mud, is there anyway to recover it? My vehicle got stuck so that's out of the equation I think.
I was looking for a cross platform game, seen this was on sale, watched your review and realized the little kid inside of me is gonna love this. Your review was great, I feel as if I won't get overly frustrated yet still have lots to enjoy.
Definitely pay attention to cargo needed in certain areas for current and future cintracts... if you're traveling far across the map, check all cargo needed in that area and take as much as possible... So this with a truck with a crane so you can drop cargo off and it's at or close to future contracts so you don't have to transport repeatedly across the same areas.. thus saving time and fuel, plus getting money and xp faster
I found that some upgrades does not show on your map until you are so close to it that u didnt need the map in the first place, it would be nice to find locations to all the "hidden" upgrades that you might otherwise miss if U didnt travel on a certain road
This was exactly what I needed. Well done.
Thx, very helpful :) And awesome video quality btw ;)
Great guide as always dude. Turned me on to a really cool game that I wouldn't have ever tried otherwise.
I have a feeling the recovering of trucks you literally find damaged in the wild to fix and sell them right then and there, rather than having to manually repair and drive them back, will be patched out.
darkrage1138 the problem is if you do damage your truck with a load and you recover it. You lose the load and the progress you made on your way up. So it depends if you’re on mission or just driving
@@xxnositxx I think you're misunderstanding my meaning. I mean the devs probably want you to have to repair vehicles you find manually, rather than simply finding it, switching to it and recovering it to garage.
Yeah the whole point should be the challenge of getting it out. Just finding and selling it is too easy.
@@darkrage1138 It's there for a reason and it's not going to be patched out. If you use common sense, you can go either one of two ways; repair the truck where it sits and take it back to the garage, which carries the same concept as the crane, which allows you to load cargo manually (user preference, NOT a default mandatory mechanic). With instant recovery, it quickly brings the vehicle to the garage, PER THE USERS PREFERENCE. This game lets you play the way YOU want, don't be a bitch and assume all games should be set to YOUR personal standards... It's not going to happen, and it's obvious you don't have a strong insight or foresight comprehension.
I have found some of these stuck vehicles and have pulled them out and even back to the garage but cannot enter them
Just picked this game up the other day, and all of the tips in this video helped tremendously.
Great tips! thank you
personally from playing this for about 30 hours already, I'd highly recommend to do most of the michigan content int a fleetstar (with as many offroad upgrades)
SlamJam that’s what I’m doing
I sold mine to upgrade to the PayStar. It’s a beast.
@@steveokenivo3256 I know I'm a year late but I'm in the same boat! So glad I picked that thing up
i only purchased this game cause i got addicted to death stranding! hell yeah, keep on keepin on ! :)
Haha I've been looking for a death stranding fix and came across this.
Perfect video thank you. The rest were 20+ minutes and I just needed the general high level ideas.
I like this guy because he doesn’t make 40 minute videos over the same repetitive thing he’s straight to the point
Making mistakes in this game and learning from them, it's what makes the game even better
As a longtime offroad driver in real life, this game is fucking awful. In real life, it's supereasy to see the type of terrain you have ahead, here it's a lottery. I've also done some work on the countryside and, I have to tell you, no self-respecting business would ever allow their grounds to become a mudhole. Even in rainy days they'll use sand or even lime to always allow any vehicle to do its job. This game is made for stupid urbanites that think that their mom's Chevrolet Equinox can go offroad. It's made for moronic people that will never ever get dirty or use a winch in real life. The game's concept (deliveries, repairs, rescues) is actually GREAT, I would've only added some kind of offroad trials mode where you have to traverse some zone without hitting the poles that mark the way or use reverse. The driving physics and the terrain physics? 2/10, absolutely horrendous, an insult to anyone that has ever done any offroading.
Tip 1: Let’s say you need carry 8 spaces of cargo to a place. Most trucks can carry 2 spaces. Some trailers can carry 2 or 4. You can hook your truck up to a trailer, and winch another trailer. That saves you an entire trip. 2. If you want to move 2 trucks from same place to same place, you can winch your truck too. It maybe slower but it saves you a trip. 3. You can sell your trailers or out in the wild trailers at the trailers shop, so you can spend that on upgrades or new trucks.
This is so helpful as I’ve only just got the game for my Switch, and it’s the first game in the series I’ve played! A great Scout that can handle all terrains is perfect for getting to those tough locations early on
Thanks bro , this game is freaking fun ( for some strange reason ) and these tips are very helpful in making it even more entertaining , cheers !!
NA PIECE IM WITH YOU ON THIS PIECE, THIS GAME IS A FIRE PIECE
love the "truck jokes" really gets me lol, however these bots spamming the comments grind my gears....
lol. nice 1
UHIS Family guy joke also! 😂
i just need to know a good music playlist to hear while playing this game
if your trucking search up a trucker playlist, makes the immersion good if that's what you want
The-JoKeRFoXtRoT Fleetwood Mac
Nice video bud, keep them coming!
Hey man great video! This is extremely helpful
Is there a trick to the turning in this game, I find myself often over turning or not straightening my wheel at the right moment and crashing or just swerving left and right.
Tap the steering instead of holding it down when u turn also pump the gas going around corners. You gotta be gentle with the steering and gas pedal.
Yeah, the steering doesn't self center as quickly as in most "vehicle games". I think it is deliberately made so to make the more advanced mud and snow driving easier (like steering dampers/shocks on a off road truck IRL) I do the same and I have played Mudrunner for several hours before this (although it was some time ago) . You'll get the hang of it. Keep on offroading!
Thank you very much for the replies, I’ll try doing that instead. I’ve played mudrunner before but got frustrated with the steering and stopped playing. I didn’t feel like doit the same with this one.
What I usually do when turning is turning fully to the left/right when entering a corner, then when I'm halfway through the corner I slowly release my joystick and when exiting the corner I do small taps to correct my trajectory
@@EmilienGosselin I haven't even tried either Mudrunner or Snowrunner with my wheel yet (PC). Maybe that will feel more natural. I also think they've focused on slow off-road behaviour of the steering. The on road driving is unnaturally slippery on dry tarmac as well. Still a great game IMO, one just have to adjust. I agree with Squirrel that the weaving about with the arms in 1st person view is ridiculously excessive but the steering physics is OK.
I am currently playing and the trailer I was towing is flipped over in a river, how do I recover it? Can you teleport trailers back to the garage?
Not as far as I know. Have to try to winch it out. If it is part of a quest, you can choose to reset it.
use winch
Use a crane attachment for one of your trucks. Super useful.
this is the video I was looking for. Thank you!
GREAT HELPFUL VIDEO! Thank you
Me and my friend play co-op the whole time when i host the server and get trucks that are found on the road only i get them but when he hosts a server and get a truck on the road he gets them and I don’t why is that? Is it like a game mechanic or something?
Yes, it is. When in multiplayer only the host progresses their game. But...any other players still get money and XP
I find all these random trucks in different places, but can switch into them. Also, they turn on when I tow them... But I can’t get into them???
theyre probably part of a rescue mission
Talentless Cult So you can’t obtain those vehicles?
@@peterpumpkineater5927 you can in other instantes but not in those ones no
Talentless Cult Gotcha
Hey thanks for the video great tips i just picked this game up and loving it. I tried going for the towers first at the beginning but some towers are very hard to reach with the cars you start with. Usually i will go around with the pickup to scout the area but even that will get stuck in the mud in certain areas that will keep you from reaching some towers first.
Man, this was a huge help, thanks man. Liked, subbed and shared.
Awesome thanks!
How to recover or respawn trailer to the garage
U cant
That would be cheating and pointless for the game only vehicles can be recovered
Those letters and numbers at the bottom middle of the screen while I am playing bother me lol
Yea. They added that in the day 1 patch for some reason. Wasn't always like that
Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
Great video and thank you for the tips 😊👍
Here is an early game question: Why is there no console wheel support on a D R I V I N G……S I M U L A T O R in 2020??
The rule for force feedback is it’s only in games that don’t need it
@@graceshiflett6526 I know this is a joke, but ffb in f1 games is really necessary I find.
I've thought about it, imo, it would be pretty difficult to control the camera (many adjustments needed in many areas of the map) while constantly battling with the steering. So maybe the controller is best?
The devs said they'll have support out soon. Because of Covid-19, they weren't able to get it in by launch day. Rather than delay the launch, they decided to patch it in. I think one or two wheels are already there
@@pr9551 It worked fine on Mudrunner (PS4). Although admittedly I had to have the controller handy due to no right analog on the G29, but that was an oversight by Logitech. Can't fault the devs for that.
Another potentially amazing game I'm giving a pass for just being on Epic Store. Good job Focus Home, lol. (I own both MudRunners and Spintires, this game would be right up my alley).
Nice and concise. Great tips. No bullshit time wasting. Subbed for sure. Thanks man 👍🏼
Awesome, thanks for this heads up mate.
Kinda seems like death Stranding with trucks, is that accurate?
I think they modelled a trailer after a death stranding one so yeh
More like death stranding is based on Mudrunner and Spintires except that's on foot
This game is like dark souls but vehicles
Great video. Very helpful!!
Excellent information here! Now back to the game!
this was the help i have been looking for as a newby... to the point ... thank you
Thanks so much for this video man!
Great info…. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for these tips I really appreciate it 💯
Even though I'm kinda experienced at the game this actually really really help. I appreciate it😎
Thank for all great tips
Great tip! Recover and sell trucks!! Damn that's smart 👍
Great review brother, I play the game typically how you do. Happy trails man!
Me and my son definitely found this a big help thank you
Just got the game and saw this video pop-up while downloading. Google's got the predictive model down to spooky levels. Great Video, as usual, gold tips in a concise video.
Great guide, helped me a lot.
Good video man helped a lot
Really useful video thanks!
Very useful tips thanks man
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again you are the best and maybe the only channel doing things like this that truly help and answer the real questions real gamers have.
Great tips and what a weirdly wonderful game this is!
