Guide

Step Route

Follow the route in order, then use the linked support pages when a step needs more detail.

1

Inspect the garage

Look for the car, missing parts, fuel, and carryable supplies before leaving.

2

Make the car road-ready

The official description says the car is disassembled, so repair comes before distance.

3

Start the engine

The official page says to press R to start the engine; verify current controls if the UI changes.

4

Loot with an exit route

Buildings and ruins can hold supplies, but zombies make bad stops expensive.

Garage

Repair first

Build the first route around the car, not around distance.

Leave only when the car can move.
Road

Fuel discipline

Avoid detours unless they can return more fuel, supplies, or safety.

Turn back or stop when fuel margin is low.
Ruins

Loot fast

Scavenge supplies while keeping the car available as the exit plan.

Leave if zombies pressure the stop.
