Will cars ever be added?

I know this probably would be a not great idea, but have the devs ever considered adding drivable cars to the game? I just thought it would be cool since they would be the only vehicle that could fit all 4 people in a multiplayer lobby, but I’m sure they would be pretty buggy, considering the size, and also it would kind of defeat the purpose of the other vehicles; who would ever use a bike or motorcycle over a car? Plus since there are cars literally everywhere around the map, it would be way too easy to get one. But still, if it’s somehow possible to work out, I thought it would be awesome to have a vehicle to fit all 4 players. Any thoughts?

Sounds cool. I always wished for vehicles too. Maybe the Devs can make it to where we have to collect parts by killing certain machines to rebuild old cars and trucks that’s broken down around the map. I would love to have a Humvee with a gun on the top. 1 driver and 3 shooters riding around creating chaos🤣 But I’m not sure if here were Humvees in Sweden back in the 80’s.

There are many topics covering the wish to have driveable cars.

Some were for it, some were against it and I think SR said something like the world is too small for the effort of having driveable cars, as their useability would be quite small.

But I’m not sure.

I was always for cars.
Not every car, as they are static objects, but like we have a vehicle station for two and three wheeled vehicles there could be a special garage as vehicle station for four wheeled vehicles.

This could be a standard car, a volvo for four passengers, which has to be repaired by us once to make it useable.

Like the companion it could be able to be upgraded slightly. There could be different classes of armor and maybe different classes of wheels.
With the standard wheels it’s just useful on streets, with bad speed and handling on any other surfaces than pavement.
Offroad wheels would make it useable offside the roads, but with less speed and handling on roads.

Of course we would also be able to apply different colors or paints to the cars hull and lights and maybe even different sounds for the horn.

The car could have a plundra in the trunk and maybe some additional modules, like a field radio antenna, additional lights, an additional recycling station or a healing station.

It shouldn’t be armed, but at least the two seats in the back should enable the passengers to shoot out of the car while driving (maybe just with certain types of weapons?). The seat next to the driver should be used for navigation primarly.

With this kind of vehicle we would have a cool option to get from A to B with the whole team in one vehicle, not more, not less. It would be a great target for the machines with high risk that all passengers die at once, but with the ability to defend yourself from the back seats.

It’s no attack vehicle.

Thats exactly what I was thinking! A humvee that mounts any MG, including miniguns. I am also thinking maybe it would have an ammo belt instead of a magazine

If we ever get a Humvee with a mounted MG, I wouldn’t be driving. I’ll be the one shooting every time😁

Yeah me too. That is actually one of the many concepts i have

cars are already in the game, however, :unamused:, people have taken the car batteries out of all the vehicles to use as EMPS, crafting, etc, unless you can find the car part store, cars will not be drivable

At least that’s the reason why we can’t use all the cars.
But like FNIX and our companion use another source for energy, or our motorbike and flakmoped use different engines, we could repair one car with those parts.

Instead of refueling it with fuel, we could be forced to put energy cells into it after some time.

Edit: Or we would have a car with a dual motorbike engine… Less speed than a normal car due to its weight, but more fuel consumption and more sound.

So you’re saying electric cars? I am not sure if those were made in the 80s, especially in Sweden.

Just like walking AI controlled machines haven’t been there in the 80s or 90s… It’s still just a scifi-game, no real life simulation.
Based on that tech, we could be the inventers of those type of cars. Not because we wanted to invent them, but because of the need and the available ressources.

I think what he means is since the car would be heavily modded by the player, a different power source that is harder to find than gasoline would be better for balance

I think the devs said that they would not add drivable cars. Instead we got the Flakmoped.

Yes, that was a first nice step towards that direction. We got a vehicle with some special abilities and the possibility to have one passenger on board…dependend on which flakmoped we take.

I like the idea of having drivable vehicles. The size of the map is in comparison similar to the island of the very first Operation Flashpoint (if anybody remembers it). Vehicles worked there too. It would however change the pacing of the game. Maybe once you’ve played through all the missions getting from A to B with no quick travel point in between could come in handy.

I am for having like a four wheeler but a car would be too big and it would ruin the point to the game i think.

i still would like to see the Marty’s Dolarean that is parked in the barn drivable :oncoming_automobile:, dont change a thing on how the Dolarean looks, just add a Orange Hoverboard in the backset

for legal reasons the car can’t look like the car from that movie :shushing_face: so, I would still be happy to as flyable car with garbage cans & alarms clocks as the flux compasiter thingie

I mean what would be cool is if they added an experimental Bike.

Maybe just more utility for the car in the game, like sounding the horn or alarm when you open a door. That would be really cool.

Wasn’t it like that in some cars?
At least in my mind I think I remember being cautious opening cars in fear of triggering an alarm. :thinking:
