In SnowRunner, there will be quite extensive vehicle modification options. The developers have made sure you can tailor your vehicle to any of your needs (both cosmetic and practical). Each vehicle has its own list of available modifications. Below, we will describe the full range of what can be modified.
1. Engine
The engine is the heart of the vehicle, so it affects most characteristics: durability, torque, speed, and fuel consumption.
2. Transmission
Disabling the reducer in the transmission can give you more control over the vehicle. It affects fuel consumption. Having additional low gears can provide an advantage when driving through mud or rough terrain.
3. Suspension
Useful when driving over rocks and uneven terrain. Choose any type: high, low, or something in between. Something for every taste.
4. Tires
There are various types of tires suitable for different types of surfaces. There is also a universal tire option with high off-road capability. On snow, you can install chains to improve traction and handling.
5. Additional Modules
Installed on the vehicle frame, depending on the type of vehicle. For reconnaissance vehicles, as usual, you can install everything related to supply and repair (spare tires, additional fuel tanks, repair modules). On tractors, you can install cranes, flatbeds without sides, and special equipment that, for example, helps find oil.
The suspension will sag depending on the load.
6. Differential Lock Mechanism and All-Wheel Drive
In general, these features are initially installed on some vehicles (by default). Also, there are vehicles where you can manually toggle the drive on/off. Nevertheless, sometimes you have to go to the garage and acquire these capabilities yourself.
The differential lock and all-wheel drive can be in four states:
- Active
- Switchable
- Unavailable
- Upgradeable
- All-wheel drive (the vehicle can use all wheels, but not Newton’s bin).
It is important to note that when the differential lock is engaged, the vehicle performs better on uneven surfaces; if it is off, the ride will be smoother in turns.
Thanks to this lock, all wheels start rotating at the same speed (which is why turning becomes more difficult). At the same time, the lock provides more power to a single wheel if it has traction with the surface.
7. Snorkel
Allows you to ford water obstacles, protecting the engine from water. The main thing is not to forget to keep the top of the snorkel above the water level.
