the_governor 16 Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Hello, so I finally found my first v3s. It "was" orange, and it spawned in front of a police station. At first I took cautions, camped around it to see if it was a trap or something, but nobody seemed to be near me. I quickly took some screenshots, and jumped in. Driving was so amazing, I felt so good. I felt superior. The tank was full, so I drove around aimlessly, just enjoying it. Then, it hit me. Literally! A god damn post next to the road. I felt as the vehicle didn't want to move as good as before, so I went out and what I saw was devastating. Here's a picture: Yes, you're right. Both of the wheels broke. My question is, how can one repair the wheels? PS: Actually it was possible to drive with it, and I kept on going :DA few minutes later I noticed that my fuel was running low, so I quickly stopped the truck and looked at the map: Closest fuel station was a kilometer or less. I barely made it to the fuel station, but then, 20 meters away from it, I ran out of gas.Just look at it, so close yet so far... Of course, I need a fuel canister to refuel, but still. Cmon! 20 meters!? PPS: mind the zombie, it somehow crawled on top of me and the v3s. Question remains tough, how could I have repaired the wheels?

kichilron 8550 Posted April 10, 2015 My question is, how can one repair the wheels? It will be repaired upon server restart. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Element47 2481 Posted April 10, 2015 Thats still a pretty great first V3S experience :) as for repairs..... i miss the automagically repairing bikes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_governor 16 Posted April 10, 2015 It will be repaired upon server restart.So you're saying it will remain in the same spot and will be repaired? What about the fuel, will it be refueled aswell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syphonz 64 Posted April 10, 2015 Whatever you do DONT hit the zombie with a melee weapon. I did it.....The truck rocked uncontrollably and killed my character :( 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_governor 16 Posted April 10, 2015 I am actually in the same spot atm, inside the v3s, in the same server and looking for answers in the forums at the same time.There are now 2 zombies on me and my v3s haha. Server has not restarted yet, wich is good and bad at the same time. I have slided away from the fuel station :(. I guess the zombies are a little extra weight.I don't want to get out as I know I'd die to the zombies!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_governor 16 Posted April 10, 2015 I got the courage, and they seem to be stuck. YES! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haven923 65 Posted April 10, 2015 Once the zeds aggro your truck, they will stay aggroed to it. You can use your truck as a zombie magnet since they can't do a whole lot of damage to it. As was stated before, the tires will be repaired at server reset. Your gas tank will be reset to full as well ;) If you ever pop just one tire, go ahead and pop the other one so that you will get a smooth ride that doesn't pull to the side... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_governor 16 Posted April 10, 2015 Turns out one can use the PET bottles to transport fuel, and I was able to fill 2 of my bottles up with fuel, and put it all into the v3s. I took atleast 3 trips with the 2 bottles. As I got in, the fuel meter still showed a sad zero and the engine refused to start up.. I guess PET bottles either do not work yet, or the filled up so less that it was little to nothing for the v3s's monstrous engine. Oh well, I guess that's the end of my adventure, gotta start walking again :(. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_governor 16 Posted April 10, 2015 Cool, thank you Haven923, and kitcilron. I will run around a bit and wait for the restart. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S3V3N 1402 Posted April 10, 2015 Fun thing is that if you have too many zombies on the back of the truck it won't move any more. I had to shoot five zombies off its back to clear the truck and get moving again ^^ Also that truck probably didn't spawn at the police station. They seem to be all over the map and main roads (most notably the coast road), as people hit stuff and run out of gas or simply run out of gas. Once I find a truck, I usually see 2-3 other trucks within an hour. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mookie (original) 799 Posted April 11, 2015 Sounds to me like the crash gave your truck a fuel leak, as well as wrecked tyres. This is pretty common, and again should repair itself on restart. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 1205 Posted April 11, 2015 Hi Fuze, some very nice pictures, and some good advice from other players too. Good luck with the truck. :thumbsup: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
