SnowRunner: 8 Tricks I wish I knew sooner 

Thanks this is absolutely brilliant stuff. I've played Snowrunner for thousands of hours now and I only knew one of those tricks (reversing with diff-lock on) but the rest I cannot believe I've never discovered.... especially the winching tricks and stacking trucks and trailers on top of cargo. And changing down going up a hill - would never have guessed that one! Time to start 'er up and test some of these out!

Great video. Small tip that may help people starting out without a lot of vehicles. You can use scouts to upright much larger vehicles. Trick is to wedge the scout against a tree/pole and be patient holding the winch button. I’ve done this with the scout 800 uprighting the P16. Bonus tip, the Khan 4-loaf has some weird kind of programming and it’ll just upright most anything in the game.

Engine breaking is a handy tip to know of, and is one of the advantages of running Offroad/Fine Tune over Highway. But you're going down a steep incline, especially if it's also bumpy. You can sometimes keep better control by locking your vehicle into Low-. When using the brakes you can lock up the wheel causing a slide (which can actually get you to gain speed) and a roll over. (when your tires suddenly hook something). But Low- will keep you rolling along at a controlled pace and make it less likely you'll break traction.

The car packing on cargo is incredibly useful for hard mode. As for the cranes, you can deploy them before you traverse a suspicious slope you MIGHT tip over - preventively.

About #4 tip: pressing the gear shifting key works differently whether you're holding the accelerator or not. When you get uphill or into a mud, you can release the accelerator for a moment, then pressing the gear shifting key -- the game immediately shifts your gear down to (as it seems) the suitable gear for the situation (often to the 1 or 2 in a mud, or a high gear on a highway) -- then you press the accelerator down again. Playing on PC with kb, but most things should probably work everywhere.

Pro tip if you're using wheel + pedals to play: you can tap the clutch to change gears. The game will automatically try to figure out which gear you should be in at the moment.

Yes. If you are in hard mode, to save fuel and to power through most hills and roads at a higher speed, engage 4WD, get moving and shift into High gear. While this is not the fastest a truck can go, this will keep the momentum steady and use less fuel.

I love the detail in this game. The person who designed it either did lots of research or are trained recovery operators. The fact the winch loses power the shorter the rope gets is such a cool detail that only people with winch experience would know.

I have played this game for over 300 hours now and did not know 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8. Great content!

One more thing, about the engine start shortcut. For one, only 1 or 2 (of 4) gamepad control schemes supports this shortcut, and it will be different button combo or absent at all in other control schemes. For two, why do you need a button for turning on the engine, if it starts automatically as soon as you press the acceleration? Turning your engine off, however, can be useful for saving fuel.

Ok so here is a super advanced endgame gigachad tip if your truck is struggling up hill... Put it in low range and engage diff lock.

Installing the snowrunner transmission helped me alot because it gives control over the low gear, being that the driver has no clue how to shift, putting it in Low 2 allows locked diffs as well as some decent wheel speed with no stalling out, the normal low gear without that it is Low 1 unfortunately which is pretty bad for anything but rock crawling as there is no wheel speed

Good tips! The cargo unpacking trick (which I discovered some time ago by pure accident) is very effective in certain situations, especially when you're carrying heavy cargo. I even tried it with logs, to get a truck & trailer unstuck from deep mud, and worked very well. Logs are risky, though: if they move too much when you unpack them, you may not be able to re-pack them. But as a last resort before giving up on a mission, sometimes it's worth trying. :-) Cheers! //Rick

YOU CAN PACK CARS OVER CARGOOOOO?!!!!! That one got me stunned! Cheers!

Great video! ❤ Just one tip from me: When at high speed, cut the engine and coast in neutral. This has saved me from many situations where I am on red fuel.

This is a very good video for newcomers. I learned most of the tricks the hard way in this game :) Didn't know about the vehicles on top of cargo though. Only one I don't do is unpaking cargo to run lighter. I found this not really RP :) I prefer to start an assist expedition with a more powerfull truck if I really find no way to make my hauler progressing again.

I normally start my engine with the right trigger/ accelerator.

Some I already know and some I don't, thanks for that

Engine just starts automatically by pressing the gas pedal

Honestly great tips. Only other advanced tip i can think of is if u r about tip turn the wheels in the direction of which u r leaning towards

When towing a vehicle place it in neutral with the engine off as well. Creates a gigher top speed on lighter terrain

Top tricks!!! now many Snowrunners know it 🔥🔥🔥

Just bought the game today. Im loving this game! Your video is very usefull. Thanks!

The last one is crazy

I swear I can't believe I just found these games! I love Death Stranding and simulator type games. This game hits all those notes for me too. So awesome! Excited to see what comes next for this series

The only ones I didn't know about where the up/down shifting with RB and the Advanced Winch control with the crane. I just grabbed my mouse and did it by hand (I usually play with a Controller).

One thing I think new players should know when starting hardmode is when you pull up to a trailer for the first time, you "discover" it and get cash/xp. If you pull up AND NOTHING HAPPENS, it's part of a quest. Big tip when gathering fuel trailers on which are yours and which you need to leave at 10%+. Also, don't ever sell your old add-ons for vehicles. Keep them incase you sell the vehicle later and need to revert it back to stock. Always add the 3 stickers to a vehicle before you sell it for slightly more money, and if you do sell a vehicle, try to equip the VEHICLE SPECIFIC mods before selling. I always sold the Scout 800 right when I got it and never get the chance to sell the raised suspension. Early on in hardmode every dollar matters. Gathering the parts for the International highway truck and Scout, Kodiak, and GMC, before selling them is most efficient

2 - Only some cargo has different weight packed and not. 4 - This is the most important tip, you can also monitor fuel consumption. 8 - If the trailer flips over, the snowrunner is likely to crash. At least that was the case 3 seasons ago on PC

Great tips I think many people who played for a while will know a few but I think most of those people will not know about a few of them.and for beginners almost all of these will be new great video telemenace.

Here's another trick that I often use, using low gear for sudden speed loss without losing control. Like goin downhill, you just pust the truck into low/low-, there's no jerking motion, no sideways sliding and it's even faster than normal braking imo, especially with a trailer in tow. Been using almost all of the tricks except for the ones that are console specific (pc player) for the crane flip because I haven't mastered the arts of that.

Driving is smoother if you hold acceleration and brake at the same time, release the brake to accelerate and release accelerator to brake, holding both at the same time will allow the truck to coast, this technique makes the truck more responsive.

Great tips and tricks! Nice video!

Great tips😊 Thx man

I knew all of this except for the last one. That might come in handy actually. Thanks!

Great tricks! I just don't like the unpacking cargo one, because it's an exploit. I'd rather bring a second truck or use my winch, than unpacking the cargo and thus making it lighter. The only exception when I transport unpacked cargo is overloading on top of the already packed layer. And only because you can't pack the cargo on every flat surface, like you can with vehicles and trailers.

Bro!! Great tips and probably the best video for tips for people who are great at this game and have played many hours. I Consider myself a pro at this game and I still did not know most of these tipsConsider myself a pro at this game and I still did not know most of these tips!! Thank you

If you wana move to the garage without truck open maps select region and □ button directly

Advanced winching huh? That’s awesome.🤘😬🤘

Цистерна на Татарине - просто бомба. Надо попробовать))

great tips, thanks.

Vehicles on the top of cargo and reverse with diff on are great tips! ... J

Is there any shortcut for the crane flip when only able to play mouse and keyboard?

for me (i play on wheel and pedals), just pressing the accelerator turns the engine on which is nice. however, the crane trick is way harder as there's no crane mode button so i have to press the functions button on the wheel then press c on the keyboard

This vid will help newbie and me too lol

Kewl!! Thank you!!

+1 sub👍 awesome tips, some of them I already found out about them by try and error, others I learn in this video👍💯✨️

You're a rockstar man thanks im still learning bug time👍👏💪

for PC, "V" and then "C" for the crane flip and you can just press "B" to turn your engine on and off

In order to play onlone this is what i have done. I have to turn off montion blur and flim gain. Every round. I then can play coop for a few hours. Oh and don't stay put to long. Any longer then a pee. Will also cause a crash. I am on xbox. Hope this help some where. Oh I also found out that setting player count to 3 seems to help as well. Some time fule tanker tailer for non host is a issuse to.

Just pressing the auto gearbox button will force it to downshift if needed. It's pretty sad that cargo when unpacked weighs nothing. That means the extra cargo you put on top without packing doesn't affect weight either.

Wow... 200 hours in this game and i know only 2 of your tips! Many thanks!

The engine starts by just hitting the r2 or equivalent for whatever system your on but the way you explain to start the game engine is also the best way to turn it off

I had no idea you could pack trucks and trailers on top of the cargo

Just for the tips winch control i want to thank you :D

leave 9 long logs loose in your trailer to bring to the objective then you can unload them if that makes sense

LEGEND!!!

Always pack a Lo4F wherever you go 🐎🐺

Thx

I mean, for the second clip you could’ve just went into low gear and locked the diff

Okay cool,. Keep on Trucking 🚚🚛🛻

Is there a reason they don't have the choice of manual of auto transmission?

Jeśli nie wiesz jakiego siodła użyć do naczepy w sklepie nie montujesz żadne a przy wyborze naczepy samoczynnie doda się odpowiednie, Pakując towar na przyczepę możesz ustawiać jeden na drugim a po użyciu opcji zapakuj towar ustawi się w wolnych miejscach na przyczepie

Me: I doubt there's going to be a new thing in this video The video: the first thing is something you've never thought to do quickly I've used it if I am in the right scenario for before or after tipping, but I never thought of trying to deploy mid tipping

Didn't know about those things

if you unlock the ank right away then your gameplay is so much easyer

I'm working on a way to retrieve a trailer from the river...smh 😁😁

Dgmw I have 1100 hours In SR overall and all the DLCs.. but does it really aggravate anyone else how they put literally HUNDREDS of Highway tires in a game with NO ACTUAL highways..? I've been playing this game for 4 years and that has ALWAYS bothered me, I don't think I have ever ONCE equipped highway tires for ANY truck. What a ridiculous waste of development space that was. I love this game but that's my biggest gripe, they could've added a whole other function that dynamically changed gameplay with the amount of effort it took to develop all those useless tires and types. OR they could've released a SINGLE DLC that was smooth highways and tight urban areas, where the highway tires became useful for atleast that ONE Map. Some trucks have over THIRTY different highway tire options.. utterly unbelievable. 🙄

I don't understand? What is unpacking cargo? Does it remove or delete the cargo? Does this work on console?

I just press drive forward and engine starts 😅

To start the engine I little just push RT

Just bought this game and was using both the G29 wheel and pedals with the controller (PS5) everything was working great until I had to update the controller, now the wheel and pedals won’t work with it at all . . I’m Stumped 😤 Has anybody got any suggestions please .Many thanks 👍

Tell me I'm Not the only who uses the gas to start an engine.?

You forgot the most important tip be gentle with rpms or you will lose traction

One tip from me: When at high speed, cut the engine and coast in neutral. This has saved me from many situations where I am on red fuel.

Just play it on pc. Its a lot easier

I use PC.

NYSE　AIDEXIA　Fantastic👍👍👍👍

I love how this video completely ignores PC users.

first comment!

You Can also use The Crane to balance your truck with heavy loads before tipping

Unbelievable that you have 8 tricks and I only knew 1 of them.... ONE !!! Fantastic stuff really 🫵🏽U rock

Great video! ❤ Just one tip from me: When at high speed, cut the engine and coast in neutral. This has saved me from many situations where I am on red/leaking fuel.
