Vehicles

Vehicles, as their name suggests, provide a mean for the survivor to move around much faster than on foot and if equipped with a trunk; allow the survivor to store his or her belongings in them.

Unfortunately due to the loud noises their engines make, they can quickly turn into a death-trap should you cruise through a town because of the huge amount of zombies their loudness attracts. Because of acid rains and perhaps the neglect of their previous owners, most of the vehicles found in the streets are either damaged or broken, and this fact can quickly lead to the demise to the unlucky-enough driver of the car should his or her car break down in the middle of a horde.

Common Locations

Automobiles and other kinds of vehicles can be found in many places, such as car lots, garages, and some other places. It will be much more likely for a vehicle to spawn in a car lot than a garage, though, and it is necessary to note that the chances of finding a broken vehicle is higher than a working one.

Vehicle Construction

Whilst it is certainly possible to build your own vehicle, a great amount of materials are needed and that is including, but not limited to, the following:

1. - A fully or partially charged welder.

2. - A wrench.

3. - A hacksaw to remove car parts.

In order to create a vehicle, in addition to the aforementioned materials, a steel frame is required for starting the process (via accessing the '*' construction menu and selecting 'Start Vehicle Construction') and a minimum of two wheels, a seat, vehicle controls (required to drive), and any kind of engine.

Many sorts of different vehicles designs can be created and optional accessories such as turrets and headlights can also be added. Almost no restrictions exist in this matter.
