4x4 Mania

Vehicle Setup:

Some options unlock at higher upgrade levels. Where separate front and rear controls are shown, they can be tuned independently.

Tire Pressure:
Airing down can improve tire deformation and grip on loose or uneven ground, but it also increases rolling resistance and can reduce speed and effective wheel torque. Beadlocks allow lower pressures.

Muffle Backfire:
Upgraded combustion engines may produce pops, bangs and flames from the exhaust. This option disables that effect.

Muffle Forced Induction:
Higher engine upgrades may add a turbocharger or supercharger. This option silences its sound.

Fuel Mixture:
Changes how rich or lean the engine runs. Moving too far in either direction can reduce power; very lean settings may cause the engine to cut out, while rich settings can increase smoke and backfire. Use the engine's sound, exhaust and performance to tune it.

Brake Bias:
Moves braking force toward the front or rear. Rear bias can make the vehicle rotate more easily; front bias is generally more stable but can make turning under braking harder.

Differentials:
Higher settings transfer more torque away from a freely spinning wheel and feel more locked. Lower settings feel more open and can turn more freely on hard surfaces.

Final Drive and Low Range:
Higher ratios provide more wheel torque at the cost of speed. Lower ratios provide more speed at the cost of wheel torque. Low Range changes this relationship specifically for 4L or 6L/8L.

Detune:
Reduces upgraded engine performance, down to stock output.

Winch Speed and Remove Winch:
Winch speed changes winding speed. Remove Winch hides and disables the vehicle's winch.

Wheel Customization:

Front and rear wheels can be adjusted separately. Size and width affect wheel mass, which can change acceleration, wheel torque and the vehicle's weight distribution.

Wheel Upgrade Level:
Improves grip and unlocks or expands setup options. A slider can also be limited by the installed suspension, tire proportions or the available part.

Tire Diameter:
Larger tires increase differential clearance but add rotating mass and may reduce acceleration.

Rim Diameter:
Changes rim size while keeping the tire's outside diameter. A larger rim leaves less sidewall to deform when aired down and also adds weight.

Wheel and Tire Width:
Wider tires can provide more grip but are heavier. Wheel width and tire width can be adjusted together or separately.

Tire Pressure:
Lower pressure increases deformation and can improve off-road contact, while higher pressure reduces rolling resistance. Beadlocks unlock lower pressure settings.

Dually and Tire Shape:
Supported vehicles can use dual wheels. Additional controls adjust tire profile, sidewall, tread shape, deformation and beadlock or dually fitment; these are useful for clearing body and suspension parts as well as changing how the tire behaves.

Driving Assistance:

ABS:
Helps maintain steering control under hard braking by reducing wheel lock. The strength slider changes how aggressively it reacts.

TCS:
Reduces throttle when driven wheels slip too much. Higher strength intervenes more strongly.

ESP:
Applies individual brakes to reduce sliding and help the vehicle follow the intended direction.

Auto-Drift Steer:
Adds automatic countersteer during a slide. Its strength controls how much steering assistance is added.

Slow Steering:
Makes steering movement slower at low speed and greatly reduces how quickly it returns to center when you release the control. This gives steering a heavier, more deliberate feel while crawling or driving through difficult terrain. The effect fades as vehicle speed increases.

Pedal and Steering Sensitivity:
Adjust how quickly throttle, brake and steering inputs respond. The best combination depends on the vehicle, surface and your control method.

Consumables:

Field Wash:
Washes the current vehicle from the pause menu. One wash is consumed after a successful in-game wash.

Wax:
Greatly slows dirt buildup for the displayed mileage. Apply it to a specific vehicle from Vehicle Selection.

Hydrophobic Coating:
Prevents dirt buildup for the displayed mileage. Apply it to a specific vehicle from Vehicle Selection.

Locator:
Shrinks the search area shown around a crate on the map. It is consumed when a crate is collected.

Precise Locator:
Makes the crate search area much smaller and colors it by crate rarity or special event type. It is consumed when a crate is collected.

Nitrous:
Greatly increases combustion-engine power while active and consumes roughly one charge per second of use.

Winch Anchor:
Lets a winch attach to suitable terrain. One anchor is consumed only after a successful terrain attachment; attaching to normal objects such as trees or rocks does not consume one.

Special Offers:

Special Offers are discounted packs of currencies and consumables. The regular selection refreshes daily, while starter packs do not. Seasonal offers may appear during events. An internet connection is required to load the current selection.

Winch:

- Press the front or rear winch button while stopped or moving very slowly. Higher winch levels allow engagement at slightly higher speed and increase target range.
- In the winch camera, tap a valid object within range. You can change camera for a better view. A Winch Anchor can create an attachment point on suitable terrain.
- After attachment, the normal camera returns and the arrow buttons wind or unwind the cable.
- Tap the winch button with the cross to disconnect.

Some areas disable winching. In multiplayer, passive mode, blocked interactions and the target player's permissions can prevent vehicle-to-vehicle attachment.

Currencies:

Cash:
The main vehicle-building currency. Earn it from missions, trails, races, derbies, crates, goals, login rewards, selling vehicles and other events. Spend it on vehicles, upgrades, repairs, parts, paint and other garage work. Cash multipliers increase eligible cash rewards.

Gold:
A premium currency awarded by selected events, goals, login rewards, crates and purchases. It can buy vehicles and upgrades, consumables, cosmetic work, pre-made suspension setups and other premium options.

Rare Parts:
A scarce currency awarded by selected challenges, goals, login rewards and crates. It is used for special missions and certain vehicles, upgrades, parts and suspension purchases.

Exact rewards and prices are shown in the relevant menu before you claim or buy.



DISCLAIMER

The virtual currencies represent a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the features of the game for personal use and do not represent a property interest of any kind. They have no value in real currency and cannot be transferred or cashed out.

Incompatible Parts

Some parts require another part, accept one of several alternatives, or directly conflict with something already installed. For example, a roof may require a particular bed.

Unavailable choices are skipped while browsing. If you remove a required part, dependent parts that are no longer valid are also removed. The preview follows the same rules so combinations that cannot be installed are not saved accidentally.

Account Management

You can link the current game account to Facebook, Google, or Apple on iOS so it can be recovered after reinstalling the game or moving to a new device.

Use Link beside a provider to attach it to the account currently loaded. Use Unlink to remove that sign-in method only after another recovery method is available.

Restore Existing Online Account signs in to a different cloud account and replaces this device's save with that account's cloud data. The Have Account? option shown after a new install opens the same restore flow.

If you have trouble restoring or linking an account, use Contact Support before creating or overwriting more saves.

Using a Game Controller

Pair a compatible gamepad in your device settings, then enable the controller option in the game's Controls settings. Xbox and PlayStation button names are shown below; other compatible gamepads use the equivalent controls.

RT/R2 - Throttle

LT/L2 - Brake/Reverse

LB/L1 - Nitrous on combustion-engine vehicles

RB/R1 - Handbrake and clutch

Left stick - Steering

Right stick - Camera control

RS/R3 - Look backward

A/Cross - Upshift

X/Square - Downshift

Y/Triangle - Toggle drive range, such as 4H/4L/2H

B/Circle - Toggle differential locks

Back/Share - Change camera

D-pad Up - Toggle headlights

D-pad Down - Toggle rear-steer mode

Crates

Crates can appear at random free-roam locations on supported maps, including Arena, and contain currencies or items.

Offline crates spawn while you are in free roam without an active mission. Multiplayer rooms can have up to two active crates, including rooms with only one player; spawn timing becomes faster as more players join.

Drive into a crate to collect it. A crate touching water or deep mud cannot be collected until it is pulled onto dry ground. Locator consumables make its map search area smaller.

Blocking Players Online

Use the BLOCK button beside a player in the pause-menu player list. It changes to BLOCKED while that player is blocked. Blocked players cannot send chat to you, collide with you, or attach winches and towing equipment between your vehicles. The block remains associated with their account when possible.

Passive Mode can also prevent physical interaction without blocking chat. For serious or persistent abuse, use Contact Support from the Info menu and include useful details such as the player's name, time and room.

Drag Strips

Arena free roam has eight drag strips: three 1/4-mile asphalt strips, one 1-mile asphalt strip, and 1/8-mile strips on grass, mud, sand and water.

Roll forward until the pre-stage lights come on, then move a little farther until the stage lights illuminate. If you race alone, the tree begins after a random delay. When both lanes are staged, their trees synchronize and begin after a fixed delay.

The three amber lights illuminate in sequence at 500 ms intervals. Leaving before green causes a red-light false start and invalidates the run. Reaction time is displayed separately and is subtracted from the final elapsed time.

If a lane remains stuck after a previous run, pre-staging the empty lane can reset it.

Tire Types

Tire grip is listed in this order:
- Asphalt
- Rock
- Offroad, including grass, dirt roads and dry dirt
- Mud/Bog
- Sand
- Snow
- Ice

A tire that works well on one surface may perform poorly on another. Specialized tires provide strong grip in their intended terrain, while all-round tires trade peak grip for more consistent performance across several surfaces.

Beadlocks

Beadlocks secure the tire bead to the rim and unlock lower tire-pressure settings. Without beadlocks, pressure cannot be adjusted below 11 PSI; with beadlocks, it can be lowered to 3 PSI. Installing beadlocks does not automatically change the pressure you have selected.

Lower pressure increases tire deformation and can improve contact on rocks and loose ground, but also adds rolling resistance and can reduce speed.

Limited Drop Rigs

Limited Drops are rotating groups of hand-tuned, upgraded rigs available in the vehicle shop for a short time. They require an internet connection, and the Limited Drop category displays how long the current selection remains available.

You can inspect each rig and its included build before purchasing it. A rig you purchase is added to your garage and remains yours after the drop ends. When the timer expires, unpurchased rigs leave the shop; some may return in a future drop.

Goals

The Goals menu contains Starter, Daily, Weekly and Monthly tabs. Starter goals introduce game features and do not use the regular timed rotation. The other tabs show their remaining time before they refresh.

Each goal shows its objective, current progress and reward. Progress is synchronized with your online account. When a goal is ready, open the menu and tap Claim to receive its reward. The card at the top of a tab tracks how many goals from that group you have completed and may provide an additional reward.

If recently earned progress is not visible, reopen or refresh the Goals menu after the online update finishes.

Daily Streak

Open Daily Streak from the main menu to view the current seven-day reward cycle. Log in on a new local calendar day and tap the highlighted Claim button to collect the available reward.

Rewards can include Cash, Gold, Rare Parts or consumable items. Claimed days are marked, and when no reward is ready the timer shows when the next local day begins. Daily Streak rewards require an internet connection and are tied to your online account.

Friends List

Send a friend request from the player list while you are together in a multiplayer room. The Friends List shows existing friends and incoming requests, where you can accept, decline or remove them.

While you are in a multiplayer room, you can invite friends who are not already there. Fresh room invitations appear in the Friends List with room and map information and can be joined or declined from there. Friend and room-invite features require an internet connection.

Suspension Setup

Front and rear suspension types and settings can be selected separately. Only suspension types supported by the current rig are shown.

Suspension Types:
The available families include solid-axle leaf springs, solid-axle coil or coilover systems, trophy-style solid axles, independent suspension and traction-beam independent suspension. Stock, Pro, Comp, HD and Monster versions represent different hardware and tuning ranges. Leaf-spring types restrict spring progressiveness and axle stretch, while solid axles have a smaller camber range. A locked control shows the suspension upgrade level or tier it requires.

Suspension Travel:
Sets the available wheel movement and, together with spring rate, affects ride height and articulation.

Spring Rate:
Softer springs compress and articulate more easily. Stiffer springs support tall or heavy builds and resist movement, but excessive stiffness can reduce grip and make a tall vehicle easier to roll.

Spring Progressiveness:
Controls how quickly the spring becomes stiffer as it compresses.

Bump Rate:
Controls damping while the suspension compresses over a bump or landing.

Rebound Rate:
Controls damping while the suspension extends back after compression.

Shock Progressiveness:
Controls how strongly damping builds through the shock's travel.

Portals:
Lower the wheel hubs relative to the axles, increasing differential clearance. They are available only on compatible driven axles.

Axle Track Width:
Moves the wheels farther apart or closer together.

Axle Stretch:
Moves an axle forward or backward, changing wheelbase and clearance around the body.

Sway Bar Rate:
Reduces body roll at the cost of articulation. Stiffer settings favor flatter cornering; softer settings let the axle articulate more freely.

Camber Angle:
Tilts the wheels inward or outward. Small changes can tune tire contact in corners, while extreme values reduce the useful contact patch.

Saved Setups:
You can save, load and buy pre-made suspension setups. They are shared between vehicles of the same model, and missing required parts or upgrades are offered when installing.

Custom Maps, Repository and Editor

Custom Map Repository:
The repository contains public maps made by players and requires an internet connection. Browse Featured, Playing Now, Newest, Trending, top-rated periods, Favorites and My Published Maps. Open a listing to see its author, description, rating and version, then play or favorite it. Use Report on inappropriate content. These maps are user-generated and may vary in quality, performance and content.

Local Custom Maps:
Maps on device are stored only on that device and are not backed up by the game. You can play, rename, duplicate or delete them. Uploading creates an online draft tied to your account; publishing makes it public for everyone to play and rate. A published upload cannot be made private again without deleting it, so keep a local backup. The upload limit is shown in the map-management screen.

Map Editor:
Creating, editing and uploading maps requires an active Premium Membership. The editor can create terrain, raise, lower, smooth and paint it, place and transform objects, add game-logic objects, and adjust lighting, fog, skybox and scatter. Every playable map needs a Player Start object. Save before Test Play, and create a thumbnail before uploading. Large terrain and many detailed or physical objects can perform poorly on slower devices.

Premium Membership

Premium is an auto-renewing monthly subscription. The current price and offer are shown on the Membership page. It renews until cancelled and can be managed through your device's app store. Restore Purchases asks the store and your online account to refresh an existing entitlement.
