best way to start/ how to start

[ZinK]

i get bored of this game pretty easy. what i mean is that i make progress until i finish the story contracts like those from black river to smithville dam to island lake etc(13% completition overall) then i get bored. can you guys tell me the best way to start the game like fresh(no hard mode or new game+) so i won't be like this anymore? i started 3 savegames like this: take the gmc go pick the metal beams, go down to pick the planks trailer, swap to chevy and go down, whinch the chevy to the planks trailer, activate the bridge contract, do it, go to garage, and then make all the important contracts(the dyson diesel ones) and then get bored. please help!

level-up, upgrade your trucks, find new trucks. Its fun to play with upgraded trucks where you are not stopped by muddy conditions

[Wingnut]

Start off with a scout. Unlock towers, pick up upgrades, find and activate missions. Explore the map. This levels you up and gives you truck upgrades and even new trucks.
Keep leveling up until you unlock off-road tires. That really opens the maps up.
Only then do missions that require hauling stuff or vehicle rescue missions and then you can start contracts.
Plenty to do and there is a variety to help stave off boredom, changing maps also helps against boredom

Go try other missions? Unless I misunderstood your post, this is an issue (at least in your eyes) with how you play the game. So play it differently. Go do other stuff, or just keep doing what you're doing if you enjoy it

maybe you just dont like this game? After tutorial it literally says that clear roads and pulling cargo is all you can do, and if you bored to do this so why you still play it?

Have you tried playing in co-op mode?

"W?nter N?okhrim Ly?n asked me [Quote: : Also, out of curiosity, got a screenshot of how many hours you've got in game?"]
I take this opportunity to reply = I think game hours do not show how skillful or knowledgeable a snowrunner is, it is how much passion you give to the game.

Achievement is how much you enjoy the game with passion. Try to obtain half of them and look for me, i will teach and share with you more.

The above screenshot is for Taymyr.

@OP Try starting in a different area. Immediately go to Alaska or if you're brave Taymyr. If you have the DLC maybe try one of those with low level vehicles. The maps play a lot differently depending on the upgrades you have and the vehicles you have unlocked. What was once nearly impassable becomes your main transport line.

I once saw a person with 1500 hours who regarded rear wheel drive trucks as useless and disposable (because he didn't know how to use them). He went into an outrage about the W990 and how he wanted his money back because it was rear-wheel drive. Made me laugh real good.

I also saw a person once in Black River who picked a GMC 9500 to match the same truck I was using (I was also using it with all-terrain tires). Turns out, they couldn't get it to work even with offroad tires, and they ended up swapping to a Mastodon. I ended up doing like 3 times more deliveries than the Mastodon guy, with my tutorial truck fitted with all-terrain tires, in the same amount of time.

I also once spotted someone who only used things like Dan and Zikz and the Tatarin, and after that person jumped into the same CK1500 I was using, said person couldn't get it across obstacles that I'd already raced it past. The person was spinning the wheels too fast in Automatic and without the front axle engaged.

I've seen a bunch of people with more than 500 hours, who get stuck because they didn't engage AWD or difflocks, in trucks that had said mods installed and fully functional. I facepalmed real bad when I saw a guy getting a Brigadier that I owned, stuck in the dirt climb from the Black River garage to the fuel station. And the truck had everything it needed to get through without winching, it's just that the driver wasn't using any of the equipment, and had to ask somebody else in an ANK to pull him.

Well said Rrager.

Hope your experience and stories will motivate and inspire all the new and also many many many older players.

I don't think anyone was wondering about that.

[sealordking]

I am saying it to show that there are good kind seasoned and experienced players who help and share with others.

And by doing so, i am encouraging more acquaintances and non-relationship gamers to share the passion about the game.

Unlike some people whom goes around causing trouble, and defame other players by using multiple accounts/ IDs to sneak on others. ROFL

Here’s what I did and still do even when I started a new run. I’ play each map to get most of the vehicles unlocked then move on to the next map and then finally when I think I have enough vehicles unlocked then I start playing the regular missions because let’s be honest the game gonna get extremely hard if you don’t have most of the vehicles,that are upgraded I’ll go back to the beginning maps and do a majority and move on to a different location when i get bored i still don’t think I’m 100% on any Maps yet and I’ve been playing since the game come out doing 100% everything on all the maps in snow runner will take over 1000 hours
