Pacific Drive

• Consider fabricating replacement car parts instead of using repair putty. Repair Putty should be saved for mid-run. The components for replacement are far more plentiful, and it becomes even more efficient when you get the
  Matter Deconstructor
  .

• Some anomalies can be led away from where you want to be if they're the kind that move

• Pay attention to the top left of the HUD periodically when walking about since you don't get warned about radiation otherwise normally

• Prioritize replacing broken tools over say building a new set of doors or you might not be able to scrap things for a while

• Pre-plan your exit when you enter an area in case you have to leave suddenly

• The game is legit dark at night and during storms or area anomalies, so be prepared to use some flares when out of the car, if you check wrecked cars frequently you'll have dozens of flares

• Don't leave your car running, it's headlights on, etc unless you need to since that drains gas and battery. It's slowish but can add up quick over longer outings

• Sometimes main missions can send you farther than you plan to go, so try to be extra prepared

• You can't save during a run, rest mode on PS5 can with but otherwise you kinda have to set some time aside from the longer trips

• You can use med kits while driving.

• To use the Transfer Trunk effectively hold it while accessing a container and it'll replace your backpack in the UI, which you can still switch to on that screen, so you can load it up directly which is much handier than what it initially seems to be.

• Yes, you can scrap a trunk panel to get inside rather than pry it open with the pry-bar, however this does in fact destroy some of the trunk's contents, so use the pry-bar first.

• You can change a huge amount of things in the setting, including "how many clicks it takes to install/swap stuff on your vehicle," "what do you lose on mission failure/death," and "does it pause the game when I bring up menus (default: no)"
