Vehicle Build Planner

Build around a job: reach farther, kill faster, protect the frame, or carry passengers without losing control.

Build Archetypes

BuildPriorityBest for
Starter BalancedEngine, wheels, small weapon, supportsNew players learning why runs fail.
Speed BuildEngine, fuel, low weightCleared routes where contact is limited.
Weapon BuildFront weapons, stable mounts, enough powerRuns stopped by zombie pressure.
Defense BuildBlocks, supports, side protectionRuns where parts detach or sides collapse.
Passenger BuildSeats, frame stability, survivabilityCode/reward experiments and co-op style goals.

Build Rules

  • Do not add heavy parts before the engine can carry them.
  • Mount weapons where they can fire without breaking the frame.
  • Supports are not exciting, but they decide whether a build lasts.
  • A failed run should tell you what to change next.

Planned Build Articles

Speed build, weapon build, hybrid build, starter build, and passenger-seat build pages should be created after more in-game screenshots and part names are verified.
