"DEAD END, DO NOT ENTER" warning is no joke. Heed it.

[LongshipOarperator793]

I played for 25 hours into the midzone, never died once, never had to abandon a single trip, car never totaled. Easy game.

So I started a run hoping to upgrade my engine. Got to a midzone area that has the warning "DEAD END, DO NOT ENTER" in the zone. I thought "No problem, just have to collect enough anchors to bail out". I got in and there were only two precious unstable anchors, which was not enough for me to go home. I thought I could go back to the way I came. Nope, got warped right back.

So I had to abandon trip for the first time. Lost both lightning rods, backseat tank, backseat expanded battery and 75% of inventory for that run. Most painful part is I lost 50 out of 60+ thermal rocks thingy for the engine upgrade. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ouch.

I don't know how it stops being a dead end but I've read it's worthwhile to go back to your old dead car... don't know how you'll get out though

It does says when I abandon trip "my car will not survive the trip." Does this means my car is still there? I could gather enough anchor to go home and then reenter that area, sees if its still there.

The car didnt survive the trip but it remains there. Even an item in the fabricator the requires you to scan your "remant ghost" aka your old car.

I've never been to a dead end but you're saying if you had enough anchors you could open up a gateway in the zone and get home?

Well I'm gonna test it out and will let you know in like 20 mins. If I can't leave then RIP second car

an older post has just made its way to the front page about dead ends. may be worth a read as it looks like there's no gateways to be had. It's dead in every single way

Ok so it's not as simple as trying to take the long road to collect enough anchors. I thought I would have an opening to another area but i only have the option to warp home. If I take the beeline to my car corpse than I don't think I can even get enough anchors. This gonna take some careful planning...

I still don't understand. Does my old car have my lost stuff in there or is it just a wreck?

Ok yeah I just saw that. It's kinda dumb that there are dead ends in the first place imo. It achieves nothing, no challenges, not even artificial difficulty. It's just death. That's pretty mean spirited.

It will have any storage you had attached and something in the back, in that your items will be there. Plus any parts that stayed with it. Take one of those removal tools.

The ghost of your car will have your old engine and the loot that was stored inside it.

Yeah the problem is I can't go back to the wreck it seems because I'll just get stuck there again since it's a dead end.

Maybe. Maybe not. Here's a theoretical strategy you could try. You could toggle on the option in settings to keep all your loot upon death. Return to your remnant ghost. Take back your stuff in the dead end. Then when the inevitable happens (assuming the area didn't stabilise and is still a dead end) you've got your stuff.

I really wish there was a more in-game way of dealing with dead ends, but I think this is it.

Alternatively, just wait until the dead end... stop being dead end. Apparently the dead end where i abandoned the car suddenly stopped being a dead end. I'm not sure if it was because I was in the area or because the zone changed. But I was able to go back and scan my ghost, got most of my stuff back and got out. This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game haha

I didn't have enough energy to return once, i just braved the red storm for 15min until an anchor spawned near me and i could leave, ez pz.
