How To Adjust Tire Pressure in Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game

Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game features an array of gameplay mechanics and features that improve players' gaming experiences when starting in-game. Some may be familiar to those who've played SnowRunner or MudRunner, but a few are brand new to the franchise, and the Tire Inflation system is one of the new additions.

Depending on the surface conditions, this system will allow players to finetune their vehicle by increasing or decreasing the pressure for better grip and lower fuel consumption. To prevent the tires from significant damage, we've explained more about the Tire Inflation system in this guide, including how to adjust the tires' pressure for Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game.

How To Adjust The Tire Pressure In Expeditions: A Mudrunner Game?

Players can modify or customize their vehicle from the Expedition Setup menu before deploying for an expedition. However, finetuning their vehicle can be done while in the field, whether freely exploring the map, seeking out new locations, or starting an expedition.

The Tire Pressure system is one of the few features players can finetune by increasing or decreasing the pressure in the tires to make traversal much easier. Once the engine is turned on, this can be done in-game by pressing the T key or Down directional button on the controller.

This brings up the Tire Inflation System pop-up window where players can adjust the pressure depending on their surface conditions. If the surfaces are more challenging to overcome, like climbing steep inclines or rocky routes, lowering the pressure within the tires will allow players to scale these surfaces quickly without impacting the suspension or damaging the tires.

The same is true for driving across bodies of water or mud where a low tire pressure grants the vehicle more grip and prevents it from getting stuck in the mud, but they can use alternate methods to escape this. One of these methods is having an Anchor and placing it on a surface before attaching a Winch to pull the vehicle out of the water, mud, or over the cliff, but do ensure the tire pressure is low or risk the tires from getting damaged.

On smoother surfaces like grassy plains or sand-covered roads, having the tire pressure at reduced pressure is optimal for easy traversal until they need to adjust it. Having the tire pressure high will risk them from getting damaged when driving over rocks and plants or going through water and mud, and they'll have to reduce the pressure or repair it using spare parts.

Additionally, it will come at a risk of consuming high quantities of gas, which may prevent players from completing expeditions. While keeping an extra gas tank is advised, refueling due to tire pressure consuming all of their gas is an aspect we wisely discourage as it may be needed for more dire situations, so keep an eye on their fuel consumption at the bottom left of the screen.
