![]() ![]() As expected, you can also see the attention to detail in the truck models. The architecture of the buildings is also quite representative of the ‘Americana’ theme, looking like they were pulled straight out of a country magazine. They have far more hills and forests, rather than the swamps and rivers found in the original maps. The landscape of Grizzly Creek and Mount Logmore stand out from the Russian maps. Unlike their bigger transport brethren, these smaller trucks can brave the uneven terrain of Spintires: MudRunner far better.Īmerican Wilds continues to impress in the presentation department. They’re all fun to drive and are the perfect size to wedge through the thick forests and rocky hillsides of the American maps. Otherwise, you’ll spend a lot of time performing rescue missions rather than delivering lumber.īut, at least there are still the three new ‘scouting’ vehicles: the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, Ford F150 and Hummer H1. In other words, you may not want to take the majority of the American trucks out on the Soviet maps. So, when selecting your vehicle loadout, definitely keep that in mind. Russian trucks are built to handle harsher conditions, whereas American trucks are mostly meant for solid concrete. They catered to the makeup of the American trucks, hence why there’s so much more asphalt than the Russian maps. Still, I find it quite interesting how the developers went about designing the two new maps. Of course, you’re still free to use any trucks that you want, but I highly recommend sticking with these two. So, that’s where the K-8400 came in-and thus the dynamic duo was born. This lets it take on off-road paths, but when weighed down by logs, this task can still prove daunting. The 6900XD is one of the few new transport trucks that has both differential brakes and all-wheel drive. It also has enough horsepower to tow any of the trucks even while off-roading. The K-8400 has four huge tires that are perfect for trudging through the terrain with almost no effort. I quickly learned that this DLC is deserving of the name ‘ American Wilds’.Īfter some trial-and-error (you know, rollovers and getting stuck - typical Spintires stuff), I determined the K-84XD to be my go-tos due to the way they compliment each other. But, in typical Spintires fashion, I was duped. ![]() I was led to believe this due to there being a lot more asphalt roads than the original Russian maps. In fact, it felt even easier than the original maps, which are based in Russia. At first glance, everything seemed straightforward. ![]() I jumped straight into Grizzly Creek as my first introduction to the new content. ![]() The devs have also added two new Challenges, along with nine new American-made vehicles. As the first paid-DLC pack for MudRunner, I think it’s safe to say that the new content is worth it for any Spintires fan.Īmerican Wilds builds upon the existing content in Spintires: MudRunner by introducing two new sandbox maps: Grizzly Creek and Mount Logmore. Now, the rough-and-tough 4×4 sim has returned to take players into the backwoods of Montana and North Dakota, USA with the new American Wilds expansion. Its complex off-road physics and realistic handling blew me away, making it one of my favorite driving simulators ever. I was introduced to the Spintires series with the original release of Spintires: MudRunner when it launched back in Fall 2017. ![]()
