No Freeroam Missions?

[Ryo Takagero]

Just played 2 Missions, do we really have now to start every mission from the Menu, not like in Snowrunner where you could start every mission in freeroam? That's a very big drawback for me.

That was the best part of the previous games (Spintires, Mudrunner). Start off how YOU like just driving around or start a mission.
If this one force you into missions, no thank you.
The wait for mods will begin.

You have to do a certain amount of expeditions and then the Free Roam option is unlocked for your map. This will allow you to drive around and select contracts / tasks to do with the vehicles you have deployed. Doing more expeditions will allow more of those to spawn sort of like how repairing power/infrastructure in the main contracts would open up additional jobs.

TL;DR There is Free Roam, it's just locked behind main missions.

So if you hover over the free roam at the top of a map list it will tell you which mission unlocks free roam for that region, and that quest will tell you which quest is needed before that etc. The info shows at the bottom left of the mission screen in red.

It has free roam but its still lame. It's not persistent. For example if you pull a truck out of a swamp and then want to go back to HQ.. The truck will reset back to the pond. So you have to finish anything you start before going back to HQ. They basically took the stuff that made Snowrunner fun and removed it or made it suck.

Uh, is trucks the only contract / task that ISN'T persistent? Because all other contract / tasks remember what I've done between expeditions. I'll chip away at objectives as I pass by and finish them later.

I think it might just relate to objects. The anchors don't stay ether.
