Apocalypse Rising 2 Vehicles Guide

Learn how cars, trucks, and boats work before committing time and supplies to a repair. Vehicles provide faster travel and storage, but their engines, fuel systems, wheels, and other components must be kept operational.

  1. 1

    Inspect the vehicle's primary components, including its body, engine, fuel tank, glass, and individual wheels where applicable.

  2. 2

    Repair damaged components before relying on the vehicle; destroyed wheels severely reduce performance and an engine at zero health makes the vehicle unusable.

  3. 3

    Refuel land vehicles using gasoline cans and gas pumps so the vehicle has enough fuel for the planned route.

  4. 4

    Use repaired cars and boats to cross the archipelago faster and take advantage of vehicle storage while transporting supplies.
