My car exploded

[BloodPhoenix 0]

We just kinda poked a fence and it went boom. I've heard of this happening before, and I'm not entirely furious with this, but my actual question is, can I somehow repair it again?

I can't enter it anymore, but I can still interact with it to make repairs, so is there something specific I have to do to make it enter-able again to figure out exactly what needs repairs?

Look at it, do you think you can in any shape of form get that working again? It should be pretty obvious, but the answer is no, it cannot be repaired again.

If you burnt out your car IRL could you fix it?

No?

Theres your answer.

Also, it probably blew up because the Hull was red. Use scrap metal.

Our Bus just exploded for no reason lol, was parked and the driver got out and it exploded.

Did he stay above 55mph? Did you piss off Dennis Hopper?

Oh no, the car was fine in every way. It just kinda bumped the fence, zoomed in on us inside and BOOM. Somehow I lived though.

Anyway, honestly, it's frame looked capable of being used again, so I tried a bunch of stuff, but good to know none of it worked XD

Thanks all

Heheh, sam thing happened to me. Little bump and UAZ go boom. Almost killed me in the process, leaving me with ~800 blood after I bandaged myself :D

Sounds funny. It's just like "Hey, I'm out of the car." *BOOM* "Oh, look at this firework *o*"

haha :D

Ive had almost every vehicle I've found explode. The most ridiculous one was when I was going quite slow in a tractor and hit a light pole. Boom!

Anyone else think vehicles shouldn't explode unless an explosive weapon is used on them, because you can shoot a cars millions of times and it won't explode.

I just think it unrealistic and ruins the vehicles in game a bit.

Ehhhh.... do people not read the game wiki?

YES, the vehicle could be repaired but you will need every single part for it; just do not save and when server it will be fully fixed either where it blew up or back where you saved it last.

Could you repair a bicycle with car wheels IRL? No.

Could you repair several kinds of vehicles with the one same wheel, engine or fueltank IRL? No.

These are some of the conditions for vehicles going apeshit;

• You hit a DayZ Object and get stuck on it.

• You hit an object and one or more of your tires goes pop and you get stuck.

• Engine(Not hull) is destroyed(If orange, you might wanna consider playind 'defensively' until you find another Engine).

And the usual ATV and Tractor stuff. Stay away from those 2.

From my experience the safest vehicles are:

1. Ural(NOT V3S)

2. BAF Rover(Military Offroad)

3. Bus

Edit:

To answer the question; If a vehicle has blown up and caught fire, it CAN NOT be repaired. You will have to wait for a server restart, then the vehicle will respawn at its spawn location.

On a side-note, the DayZ Wiki is full of outdated information and bullshit.
