Vehicles?

[HuskyStrylight]

Besides from bikes, will there be any other vehicles within the roadmap of development, or any other means of transportation?

Instantly fast traveling isn't enough?

Nothing like that right now, but something i think we all want to see some time in the future.

Nice, it would be helpful to have a dedicated vehicle to transport groups of players with one driver, or such, and also with off terrain mobility for effective guerrilla fighting :D bikes have trouble going uphill even in slight elevation and with the road blocks. bikes are good, but they lack most capabilities to be efficient. If we want to be true guerrillas, modification of even civilian vehicles will allow players to have more tactic advantage and gameplay :D

(thx for the reply, i await for more updates) :D

Is it fun for you to just fast travel all over the place and not use a vehicle to look around the scenery? or loot areas along the way?

I don't need a vehicle to do either of those. Just saying.

No it's fun to walk the map and find all the secrets and loot rather than drive by it in a car.

+1 no vehicle too. May sounds like a good idea but the base game isn't designed for vehicles, adding them now will be terrible.

they have quads in the hunter game... but might be too loud maybe we can make a motor to put on the bike and a muffler to make it quieter lmao thatd be cool just to cruise around and enjoy the environment because its beautiful

i agree with a vehicle just cause the map is huge and in their other game its so much fun riding hte quad around on the trails all the negative people saying just fast travel its not needed, play the hunter call of the wild by same studio, ride the quad around its awesome haha

They need to fix the basics before they add anything like that.

Ffs I get stuck on a rock thats just the size of a pebble...

And falling threw the ground when riding bikes...

Well i can see what you guys are saying, but is there any point in not adding a vehicle? its not like you guys cant walk, and adding a new mechanic into a game has no issue unless for bugs. However not adding a vehicle into a decently sized map, not all casual gamers will continue to play this game if its going to be a walking simulator like outward.

Whats the point in saying no cars, when you can freely not use a car? A game giving the player option on what they can do will bring in more players than a game that restricts too much. And im not saying to add overly ridiculous amounts of vehicles, but in most post apocalyptic, wouldnt people find ways for transportation?

The devs them selves said in the future date, so hopefully by then the game will be more polished :D Hopefully they keep the bike physics, its funny to fly off

[DragynDance]

Hopefully it won't be cars though, it seems everyone in sweden packs their car full of tnt, you can imagine trying to drive past anything, one stray bullet would blow you up and one shot you and your vehicle. x3

I definitely agree that drivable tanks, combat helicopters etc. "Armed Assault" style would radically alter the whole feel and balance of the game away from the original vision.

However, personally I'd really like to see a bigger range of vehicles with the same role as the bicycle - allowing the player to travel around previously-explored areas more quickly than walking and without the disadvantages of fast travel (immersion-breaking and causes enemies to respawn) - but in a more functional way. (faster, better on rough terrain, able to carry things, etc.)
Simply making the existing civilian cars/trucks drivable probably wouldn't really work as realistically most wouldn't be much good off-road and there are so many wrecks and barriers blocking the roads. However, motorbikes, quads, ATVs or jeep/Land Rover type 4x4s would be good.

What I'd most like to see is the ability to upgrade vehicles with add-ons - maybe crafted from parts salvaged from robots and wrecked vehicles - giving them more functionality, obviously things like armour plate, weapons, vision modules but also add-ons like storage boxes, field radios, medical stations etc. could make them more useful in a multiplayer co-op context. Defensive add-ons like camouflage or sensor jammers could make the vehicle a bit less of a magnet for robot attacks. This way you could give players lots of choice without having to add a huge range of drivable vehicle models - similarly to how the existing gun add-on system works, the same basic chassis could be configured for different roles or simply upgraded with higher quality components.
