Vehicles are a means of transportation. They are significantly faster than traveling by foot, offer some protection against hostiles, and have a trunk that can store items. Vehicles require fuel to operate, and any damage can be repaired with Toolkits. Various vehicle models exist, each with different stats, but it is recommended to have at least one operational vehicle.

Fuel Economy[]

The following values have been derived from the game's asset definitions.

Every car has a couple classifications that determine its fuel economy: what size of fuel tank it has and its consumption rate. There are four fuel tank sizes (small, basic, big, and massive) and two fuel consumption rates (low and high). Each fuel can contains 1.8 units of fuel.

Low and high fuel consumption rates are given at a rate of 0.60 and 0.75 units per minute on the throttle. Upgraded vehicles often have different tank sizes and consumption rates compared to their stock counterparts.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The Ambulance, the Police Cruiser, and the Ranger SUV have working sirens you can use to lure zeds to your location.
  • The Burninator can shoot flames around its doors to burn off any zombies jumping on them.
  • The Meatwagon can drop a huge chunk of meat which lures zombies.
  • The Pyrohawk can shoot fireworks on every side to clear off any zombies jumping on it.
  • The Survey Car can actually survey! Driving it will reveal nearby locations on your map.
  • Upgrading a car usually results in losing the utility it had (sirens, etc.).
  • The Trumbull 4x4, Mad Norma, and Megalodon can only be obtained through the Bounty Broker.
  • The spikes of the Impaler and Zedbuster will sometimes kill zombies who come in contact with the vehicle.
  • If your Home Site has a Trade Depot, you can summon Parts Traders, who sometimes have Vehicle Upgrade Kits to trade.
  • Vehicles that take enough damage will catch fire and then explode, destroying the vehicle and burning the occupants inside.
  • A vehicle that has been damaged and destroyed can be repaired using a Toolkit.
  • License plates on in-game vehicles change each time you load the game.
  • Apocalypse vehicles might take more toolkits to get fully repaired. It's due to having more health, not because toolkits are less efficient on them.
