Thewhitefox12 0 Posted October 17, 2021 New player, two weeks in, on xbox, and on officially server. I am having trouble putting a vehicle together. I know that you have to have all the outer vehicle parts (doors,hood,tires,ect..) for the vehicle you want to fix. I know some vehicles are wrecked and can't be fixed. I always have all the parts that go into the vehicle. My problem is i can't get or open the vehicle menu to add the part. Is there something I am doing wrong that needs to be done in order to get the vehicle menu to come up? Do I have to have the tires fix and on first? I am using the dayz map app and making sure I am at a yellow vehicle or does it matter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drgullen 596 Posted October 17, 2021 @Thewhitefox12 I have never played DayZ on console, but I believe it works similarly to PC. The outer parts actually aren't as important. You should be able to get the vehicle running without doors or a hood and even missing one wheel. They key parts to loot are the spark plug, the battery and the radiator. Depending on the RNG, some cars may already have all these things, some may have none of them. To see those things, approach the front of the vehicle (the hood area) and open your inventory. Under the "In The Vicinity" area you should see the car inventory. If only your inventory is being displayed, it is likely one of the static wrecked cars that you cannot drive. The other two things to remember are you need to fill the radiator with a lot of water, otherwise the engine will seize shortly after you start driving. If the engine is smoking, stop and turn it off otherwise the car will be ruined. You will have little to no fuel in the vehicle when you first find it, so try to loot a Jerry can so you can add gas as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
