Pacific Drive - Top Tips For New Players - Tutorial

Pacific Drive is an awesome sci-fi survival  driving game with a slice of horror and other worldliness thrown in for good measure. It's a  unique blend that's right up my street in terms of content and gameplay so I put together some  quick tips to help get you rolling in the zone so let's dive right in! The garage is your home  base but it can be farmed for some pretty good loot after every single run, most obviously is the  scrap car that regenerates each time just don't forget to check the tr

unk too, when you're done  with that turn around and get the two electronic items on the shelves as these will be a vital  source of early electronics and copper wire, and of course there is your friendly dumpster he will  give you many different items from missing parts for your car and general resources, to the prize  Dumpster Pearl while these will need the matter deconstructor to grind them up, they do produce  a host of higher tier and rarer items. A bonus tip here is the dumpster can appea

r out on a  run as well and drop these pearls as well, so definitely keep an eye out, they are worth grabbing  nearly above all else. There is a lot of loot that can be brought back from each run and a bigger  backpack will mean less to and throwing to your car and back when looting the various areas of the  game so to go from this to this head over to your fabrication station and work your way through to  the matter deconstructor mentioned in the last tip and up right to the outfitting station.

Once placed  you won't have access to much as you still need to unlock different items but a medium backpack is  unlocked by default and only costs 20 fabric, which is a very abundant resource. A secondary bonus here  is the new backpack will give you two more quick slots to use with your ever-growing collection  of tools. Trust me this is going to be one of the very first things you will want to unlock, do  not be tempted by the other things. When picking up loot from containers you can easily

pick up all  crafting materials by just pressing the T key just make sure you are hovering over the storage you  want to take from from as it will work both ways in taking and giving loot the only downside in my  opinion and something I hope is patched in, is that usable equipment like flares, food, repair items,  and equipment doesn't transfer and still needs to be clicked. At the start it's pretty easy to  be in the habit of scanning everything like the game shows you but don't for a second e

ver stop  doing this, if you're unsure if you've scanned it do it again objects car parts anomalies everything.  While scanning a specific thing can be an unlock requirement for a new garage machine or blueprints,  not only that you can sometimes diagnose new issues with the car by scanning as well as fill up  your log book with new info. Speaking of research another highly valuable upgrade is off-road tires  want to or not you will be heading off-road just as much as you will be on road and a l

ot of that  off-road will be when time is against you so extra control matters here the most summer tires may  be double a rated on roads but off-road is only C class off-road tires will boost this to AA class  at the cost of B class on roads and as an added bonus they have a far higher Health rating and  such will last so much longer they will pay for themselves with less crashes, less repairs, and less  replacements. I've still got more great tips for you but if you are finding this video usef

ul then  please do give it a like or even better give it a share on any social you use that'd be a massive  help thanks,and now back to the tips. Now speaking of repairs would you like free car part repairs to  help you stop wasting those precious chemicals on repair putty well we have a machine for that, the  matter regenerator, now items in here will take a whole run to complete their repair but it won't  always fix everything for example it will fix a shorted out light but it won't fix a bald

tire  other than its HP, the trick here is to have some spare doors panels or wheels so you can rotate  the most damag Parts out for a run for some free fixing, if you really are short of materials then  I would recommend using the old scrap parts for a short and safe run through and easy zone for a run  or two as you repair up your parts this can really help make the difference if you're struggling and  you have to be in top shape for a longer run. now if you ever find yourself in a dark situa

tion,  who am I kidding I know you will find yourself lost out there, if you out of light sources and you  need to get back to your car or just get back to your car in general look no further than the top  left of the screen you should see a small arrow and pointing up is forwards it will also list  a distance for you and you can let it lead you back to the safety of your car. Sometimes you will  find a run just goes south on you your car will be battered to all hell with sparks flying with  eve

ry turn of the wheel but if you find yourself one of these repair stations it could literally  turn your run around the repair fa amount done is limited but it will rapidly heal much of the  damage done to all of your car parts at the same time so if you're short on time damaged and trying  to make it to the exit finding one of these will be a god sand if you do have time for a longer  stop there is usually a box or two of loot to help sweeten the deal. Through your runs there will  be sometimes

two different types of lore loot to pick up and you really won't want to miss these  first is the radio transmissions and these can be found found via cyan markers on the map and these  are voice acted audio logs from different people in the history of the zone and really help deepen  the immersion secondly there are these small red clipboards and you'll find these in various loots  throughout the game these must be moved to the fax machine once unlocked and will unlock log entries  that you ca

n read for extra law so now you know that you can either take it or leave it instead  of worrying how important they are. And my final tip for those of you that stayed right to the end  is the ultimate salvage tool the tool known as The Liberator and it does just that it will liberate  parts from other vehicles whole so if you find some rare armored panel or door something you  can't make or even a basic wheel when you didn't pack a spare and you need one well then this tool  will tear it off th

e other vehicle for you until you can add it to your own car orbe it with a  slight bit of damage from the explosives used in the process so there you have it 10 tips to  see you on your way through the Olympic Exclusion Zone.
