can you skip some state DLCs?

[Foxhound928]

i had a random question, can you drive through states you don't own the DLC for, for example, let's say i buy the Washington DLC, but not the Oregon DLC, would i still be able to drive up to Washington?

No, the barriers will still be there to block you from entering the unowned state which in this case would be oregon. The state that is not connected to any other owned states will essentially act like an island, you can only quick travel/take quick jobs to teleport. And you can't take loads to or from that sate in this case Washington. You will only be able to drive local in Washington pretty much.

thank you for that, i have $30 in my steam wallet after refunding a game and wanted to buy some ATS DLC, and that question came to mind.

This game and its DLC goes on sale for 50-75% off every few weeks. Just wait a couple and you can get multiple states for that $30.

You can't drive through unowned states as mentioned, but you also don't need every state if you want to get to a certain one- Just any set of states that let's you connect the dots.

Using washington as an example, You could get Oregon to connect, Or you could get Idaho instead. To access Wyoming you'd need either Utah or Idaho.To get to Texas you need Mexico, or Utah->colorado->Oklahoma.

This image is a little out of date, but you can see how the state lines are. I believe in addition to the ones shown, we have Montana, Wyoming, Texas, and Oklahoma; With Kansas and Nebraska being the new ones 'announced'.

Based on that map, SCS has added 4 states in 3 years. Maybe 5 if they put one out before 2024.

it is possible that we’ll see Kansas in the late fall/december as they have done with Texas released 4-5 months after Montana

No you can't, the game will just stop you with barriers, your best option would be to buy garages in states you own to get past the area you don't own and fast travel

I would honestly keep up with buying every state though, You have to if you want to be compatible with map mods as they get updated to work for each newer state released
