The developers behind Fallen
Earth

have been working double-time to put a new face on their
post-apocalyptic game. They have also been adding new features and
content to give fans more of what they love.



Fallen Earth, LLC.
has just released a preview of all the newest vehicles for their game.
As usual, Ten Ton Hammer has the scoop.


style="font-weight: bold;">

In Fallen Earth, a vehicle can mean the difference between
being run down by a pack of mutant dogs and actually surviving your
cargo run to Trader’s Flat. In the wastelands, a vehicle isn’t just a
convenience; it can be a fortress on wheels, a place to store your
gear, and the fastest way out of danger. But in the wastes there is one
thing a vehicle never is: cheap.

Each vehicle model has its own abilities, including fuel efficiency,
type of fuel used, armor plating, cargo capacity, hit points, and
weaponry. Some vehicles run on cheap and plentiful biodiesel, while
other high performance vehicles require highly refined gasoline. No one
vehicle does everything well, so players will have to decide what
vehicles are best for them. Do you want a Tornado for its high hit
points and cargo capacity, ignoring its poor fuel efficiency? Or a
Wasteland Rider motorcycle, trading off cargo capacity for speed and
fuel efficiency?

Players can own up to five vehicles, but may only have one in
use at a
time. While not in use, vehicles are stored in garages found outside
many of the towns in the Grand Canyon Province. Vehicles have
persistent locations, so if you leave your dune buggy in the middle of
nowhere and log off it will still be out there when you log back on
(likewise if you run out of fuel you’ll have to walk back to town to
get more). Players can pay money to have their vehicles towed to a
garage, but doing so is not cheap.

Players
acquire vehicles in Fallen Earth through research and crafting. Players
can buy new vehicles from other players, but there are no NPC vendors
who sell them. All vehicles are made by players. Players have to spend
significant time and resources to learn how to make anything more
advanced than the most basic vehicles, such as ATVs and motorcycles,
and the construction of each vehicle is a sizeable investment of time
and resources as well. Acquiring a vehicle is nothing to sneeze
at. 

Vehicles in Fallen Earth are not only for
transportation, but also serve as weapons. Whether it be firing pistols
while on a motorcycle or the mounted machineguns of the Interceptor
Security Edition, players can use the mobility and protection of their
vehicles to their tactical advantage. Such choices can get expensive
very quickly as the bullet holes and fuel consumption stack up, but it
can help you make quick work of a raider camp. 

Except for
the motorcycle, these images were produced using the in-game vehicle
models on a rendered background and are how the vehicles actually look
in game. The motorcycle model will appear in a future update, as will
videos of the vehicles in action.
