Scrap-car upgraded when you venture further in?

[Shotgun Shells]

I've heard/saw a video that if you come far enough in the game (further inside the zones) the scrapcar outside you garage will be upgraded. I've seen that it will be upgraded to a lorry. I've read that someone got it as a Squire. Yet, I'm in the inner zone but it's still just a scrap-car with steel panels/doors..

mine upgraded and then downgraded randomly.

im sure its a bug because ppl have posted pics of it getting replaced with huge vehicles that clip through the walls.

I completed the game and never got a truck. I have the feeling that the game also checks how much loot and car parts you have. If you are not missing stuff, it will not give you the truck.

Think it is tied to a story (or maybe Frequency File) progression and the number of deathless runs.

I had an ARDA Truck (not the ramp truck, mind) after after about 15 runs or so of being deathless on a fresh save file. Stayed that ARDA Truck until about 32nd run or so - my first post-story run, my route via the planner takes me through the Well, but it spawned me in the story layout of that zone when I got there, and ended up having no exits. I abandon run as I was stuck at that point, and my shop car is back down to a Squire (and the counter on the wall in the shop had reset to 0 too).

Haven't ever seen the ARDA track... I am in post game completion mode at this point. Seen the squire a few times.

I purposely killed myself so I could scan a Remnant Ghost, and upon doing so it downgraded to a squire.

Been deathless for a long time now and its been stuck as a car frame with nothing on or in it whatsoever, it was a squire previously but is now literally useless.

Yeah, I've seen that bug in the forums, but I've not experienced it myself..

I've never gotten a truck of any kind, but I do get a squire most of the time since entering mid-zone. I had my first failed run out there, and it didn't downgrade, fortunately. It sounds pretty random though.

Mine has been a useless car frame ever since I entered the mid zone for the first time. I might try abandoning a run so I can scan the ghost, maybe it will give me back a wreaked car.

All I know is if you complete a naked 3 junction run, no panels/doors/bumper a loaded truck appears. Repeatable.
Unfortunately disappears after the next run.

Truck or not, this just sounds fun. I'm gonna give it a go!

It's kinda like the dumpster, it's random but the game weights it to try to give you things it thinks you need at the garage so long as they're accessible at the point of the game you're at. It "decides" when you warp back to the garage.

I've noticed if you're pretty loaded and take basically no damage you can often get decor, it seems they're "lowest" priority if the game doesn't give you anything else.
