4 hours real life time with a friend to get 1 truck unstuck wtf

[zombygunner]

i have never played a game in my life that treats me so much like crap. if there was an award for game that hates people this one will win it. absolutely an a s s hole of a game

[Vimpster]

In what way did the game treat you like crap? That does seem like a rather excessive amount of time to get 1 truck unstuck. Was there some glitchiness at play?

[zombygunner]

it was the western star in the smithville dam area and i released the winch and it rolled between two trees so perfectly that it blew my mind lol.

[zombygunner]

our vehicles where going every direction but straight sliding into the trees flipping our trucks over and over again pure crapolla. the winches where not doing a dam thing either. after ramming the vehicle and flipping it several times my friend got it to the mission and i shut it off as soon as i hit enter and he may be pissed right now lol

[zombygunner]

i still want to smash my keyboard over my head but i wont im doing better thanks working through the pain

Did you repair/refuel the truck before you started moving it? These are the 2 best routes, I find the red one is easier if you havent repaired/refueled the white western star.

yeah most paths in and out were to small (narrow)for the mastadon. it showed all of the flaws that a mastadon has. it was rough but we did finish it. side note i havent played it since we finished the mission i had to step away. I did repair it twice and we ruined it every time. it was so bad that the twin wheels in the back of the western star looked flattened lol it was incredible. and the ank omg it flips sooo easy you have to be really smooth and drive really well

Just a hint if something like that (something getting stuck really badly in some god forsaken place) happens in the future and you don't appreciate the extra challenge: Resetting/restarting the mission will reset the position of the truck as well.

Edit for clarification:
You can restart contracts from the contract menu where ever you are. To restart tasks, you have to drive to the place where you accepted the task (in the case of the WWS, the yellow square right next to where you found it)

I have to ask, why didn't you restart the mission or recover vehicle and start over?

I'm no expert so i'm genuinely asking. I'm only like 40 hours in this game and having fun, but found myself getting in situations where I was much better off starting over since I made a terrible choice.

[zombygunner]

im making the game harder in a way by going out and getting all freeish trucks first then the towers then the upgrades then ill use all trucks doing missions and having a blast. its my own fault that i dont clear roadways

After hour one, I would of reset the mission and started it over.
It's always best to refuel / repair a truck before doing jobs like this, and let it do some of the work instead of brute force to get it up a hill.
Plus I never take the road back up (in 15 playthroughs), always go up by the powerline because it's straighter and flatter. Did it with my Fleetstar the first time.
