My truck is upside down
The game describes the jack as a way to right and reposition an overturned vehicle.
- Open the radial menu and check Tools for the jack.
- Use the jack to flip the vehicle upright and reposition it nearby.
- If tools are unavailable or do not resolve the situation, select a discovered cabin on the map to respawn.
My wheels spin or I cannot climb
Start with the game’s Low Range advice, then use recovery tools if driving is not enough.
- Engage Low Range on rough terrain or slopes.
- Choose a more manageable approach instead of repeatedly forcing the same obstacle.
- Use planks where a gap or rough ground prevents traction, or winch to a suitable anchor.
I need to winch out
The camera direction helps select the object the winch attaches to.
- Find a suitable nearby anchor, such as a tree.
- Select the attachment point on your vehicle, then aim at and select the anchor.
- Try the manual winch when you need finer control. If recovery still fails, use a discovered cabin.
My engine flooded in water
Water resistance upgrades increase the wading tier; the available data does not establish a safe depth for every crossing or a universal restart procedure.
- Stop attempting the crossing and look for a way back to shallower ground.
- Check whether a usable winch anchor and recovery tools can help you leave the water.
- If you cannot recover, select a discovered cabin to respawn. Check water resistance before the next trip.
My vehicle is damaged
The repair kit’s in-game description says it restores peak performance.
- Open Tools in the radial menu and check for a repair kit.
- Use it if available, then reassess whether continuing the trip is sensible.
- Before another rough trip, compare protection upgrades and carry recovery gear.
I have no tools or recovery failed
Respawning at a discovered cabin is the fallback described by the game.
- Open the map and choose a cabin you have already discovered.
- Select it to respawn. The available tips do not specify every consequence, so check the game’s confirmation before proceeding.
- Revisit your equipment and choose a less demanding return route.
