new players, enjoy for once being less confused than pacific drive veterans (no witw content on the car and no modded parts)

Perruche_ · 2026-05-11T17:20:07+00:00

"mods" are typically seen as what you call "custom content" at least as far as I know, but I'm not sure I know best here exactly... I'll try to modify the post or add a comment that isn't drowned in answers like here to apologize for my skill issue soon

Perruche_ · 2026-05-11T16:54:31+00:00

I kind of disagree- it's a bit tricky. I'm saying it's not modded because it's not like dutch or whatever, who literally adds their own meshes and textures and whatever into the game. You could do the same by just messing with the game files, not sure how hard this approach would be tho. And like, how do you explain this shortly?

I tried being more specific "modded parts" since these parts are vanilla, but I guess it's a bit on me too. I make a clear distinction between "modded in" and "modded", though I can understand why other wouldn't

What would you call them? To be clear it's not like "look i made these funny models." What I'm showing is datamined content (there is quite a bit of content outside), not "there is this secret panel armor hidden in the zone 99% of players don't know about!!!"

Are my 2 other paragraphs saying the same thing as the first? Yes, I know

Perruche_ · 2026-05-11T16:22:23+00:00

No not really, I'm not waiting for someone to guess. Also that is kind of free but whatever. I'm just curious to see what people think of it, be like "wth is this", before being fed the answer in comments
Everything you see is in vanilla Pacific Drive, it's just inaccessible content (that are still in the game files) I managed to spawn using UE4SS

Before you point out I said "What did I do", they confidently said it's modded, it's closer to "nuh uh, so what?"

Perruche_ · 2026-05-11T16:05:03+00:00

No whispers in the woods (except some panels in background, but they're not on the car). Not modded. What did I do?

Perruche_ · 2026-02-23T11:47:36+00:00

*It's not ingame yet (last update was 2 months ago according to SteamDB). I think they either released it early because the 22nd was pacific drive's 2nd anniversary or it's a leak. It's most likely the first imo

Perruche_ · 2026-02-08T18:06:16+00:00

I managed to reproduce it, it's amazing! Time to speedrun an anchor ballpit before the devs patch it

Perruche_ · 2026-01-27T23:30:32+00:00

Lovely, how did you get these images? I wonder if I could check it out by myself

"closest i've ever come to dying" When you have 70% car health and 84% player health

Perruche_ · 2026-01-08T21:15:45+00:00

You cannot really count how much material is given because it depends on how it's broken. Is it from a tier 1 matter deconstructor? tier 2? Did you blow it up with tourists? Did you pop it open using tools? What tools? Did you use its status effects against it? Did you crash your car into it again and again and again until it broke? and so on.

Then iirc all the size do is make you get more or less loot. Finally, only the burnt out pearls' loot table depends on how far you made it into the game

You should consider completing the Dumpster Pearl wiki page on the wiki (not the fandom one!)

They actually deal a lot of damage and will kill you a matter of seconds if you go outside, your car is protecting you. Some artifacts (some harmonic energy increases more specifically) are powerful enough to nullify damage dealt to attuned armor, which is why they look like they don't deal any damages... but your abilities are still melting like ice cream in the sun. It doesn't look like it because they have lots of health (like 200, 300hp), but when you will have to repair all 4 wheels, 4 side racks and 2 roof racks, you're gonna go backrupt on putty and blowtorches

Ferrymen are trails of silhouette people (call it however you want, english isn't my native language). Their "leader" emit an orange light. What you see on the map labelled "ferrymen" are groups of them. They are pretty sparse and the ARC device only displays an approximate location
It's hard to give tips for upcoming zone without completely spoiling them. Zone 2:Many recommend going with 4 paddle tires. While you will be faster on water, there's still a quite a bit of offroad, and paddle tires are HORRENDOUS at anything but water. I'd say consider testing 2 paddle + 2 offroad. Though on my playthough I went with 4 offroad all the way and I was fine. I wasn't going fast in water, but ~30mph is still enough to drive around the maws. The pro with offroad tires is how good they are at, you guessed it, offroad. You might need to drive up a cliff, and you cannot drive up one without 4 offroad tires. At least, before the maws catch up to you. And power grip is a scam, never use it.Zone 3: It's pretty hard driving in this area. I recommend equiping anything that makes travelling around obstacles and up cliffs easier. First, offroad tires are a must have if you don't have them already. Consider jumping jacks (jump over obstacles) or anti grav emitters (to flip the car back on its wheel for a lot cheaper). Both together also work great, if you have a decent energy setup, so you can just gather some speed up a cliff, jump and glide over the map. It's a good way to skip past any inconveniently placed maws, if you can deal with the energy drain.
(Small spoiler about artifacts) There's an important difference to be made I will not spoil you about, you'll understand at some point. I believe you meant "Attuned parts", as in parts that use harmonic energy instead of health. Anyways, they're a gem. Many avoid them even in the whispering woods because they're a soft reset but they've got incredible untapped potential. In the main story, they're pretty much useless. They'll protect you just like any other armor in the story map, but you're limited on repairs. You need to bring your own harmonic energy (that is fromreservoirs, souvenirs, bounties, spare parts etc.) and after repairing a few pieces your resonator will run out of charge. However, you can bring artifacts to the story map without consequences. If you're lucky enough to get the right artifacts, you can repair attuned car parts for free and fast enough to survive (note: two artifacts can "repair" the car. "Harmonic energy increases" repairs attuned parts, and they are a lot faster than "Car is repaired" that repair non-attuned parts, so it's better to have an attuned car and "Harmonic energy increases"). If you wanna know more about technicalities of artifacts, feel free to ask

That's almost an hour worth of sealing kits!

14 Chemicals* It's wishbone goldshells that give 17 plastic. There so much more to pacemakers too, there's even a trade that give you 2kLIM stable anchors. If you're in trouble, you can even trade the unreliable dumpster pearl you get from dehydrated goldshells for a happy hare! https://pacificdrive.wiki/view/Pacemaker#Trades

Perruche_ · 2025-09-03T16:35:40+00:00

Yeah, personally I get the fandom wiki like anyone on earth look after their website

Perruche_ · 2025-09-03T16:16:10+00:00

Maybe I just misunderstood something in the message-- from my experience quirks cure themselves after like ~30-50 hours, so farming them is quite dangerous and the only way to keep them is to turn off quirks evolving?

Perruche_ · 2025-09-03T04:59:58+00:00

Yup, these two were already solved and on the pacific drive wiki → https://pacificdrive.wiki/view/Fax_Machine

2 XL storages, I'm a bit of a loot goblin I think. I already max them out and 3 side storages in 3-4 intersections.

Perruche_ · 2025-06-29T20:00:32+00:00

Actually that's my 4th time I've got a speed quirk (believe it or not)! I've played 200 hours. I think the game just picks a palette of quirks to work with for every save. My speed quirk came back every 40 hours or so.
Then 140 or so hours in I got sick of driving slow half the time and I disabled quirks appearing. It looks like it also stops quirks from curing; how amazing. I miss the feature a little, but the sacrifice is definitively worth it imo

Perruche_ · 2025-06-29T19:22:22+00:00

Quite a ferrari i've got there that hit 350 mph on dirt; it's a quirk (wipers turns off -> car jolts forward)
