- Low Range Offroad 4x4 Stage 2 runs on the same forest map but adds longer routes and fewer gas stations.
- Tire pressure is king: use 40 PSI on rocks, 8-10 PSI in mud and water.
- Fuel discipline matters — running dry late in the stage forces a full restart.
- Play with friends: teammates can tow you out when you get stuck solo.
- Expect roughly 40-60 minutes to clear Stage 2 on your first run.
Stage 2 Overview: What Changes From Stage 1
Stage 2 in Low Range Offroad 4x4 keeps you on the first forest map but extends the route significantly. The terrain mixes rocky climbs, shallow river crossings, deep mud pockets, and a hazardous bridge section near the end. Compared to Stage 1, most players find the terrain slightly easier — the challenge shifts from raw mud crawling to fuel and route management.

Stage 2 Terrain Breakdown
| Zone | Terrain Type | Recommended PSI | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening ridge | Rocky climb | 40 | ★★★☆☆ |
| River crossing | Shallow water | 8-10 | ★★★☆☆ |
| Mid-route mud flats | Deep mud | 8 | ★★★★☆ |
| Forest logging road | Dirt + scattered wood | 10-36 | ★★☆☆☆ |
| Bridge section | Narrow wooden bridge | 36 | ★★★★★ |
| Final climb | Mixed rock and dirt | 40 | ★★★☆☆ |
Stage 2 has noticeably fewer gas stations than Stage 1. If you run out of fuel near the end, you restart the stage from the beginning — turn off your engine while winching or waiting to conserve fuel.
Vehicle Selection for Stage 2
Only a handful of vehicles are available in early access, and your choice dramatically changes how Stage 2 plays. Lighter vehicles grip better in mud; heavier trucks handle rocks but bog down easily.
Small SUV (Discovery-style)
- Best for mud and water
- Light weight prevents sinking
- Weaker on steep rocky climbs
- Recommended for solo players
Large Truck (DMX)
- Strongest engine in early access
- Stable on rocks at 40 PSI
- Prone to getting stuck in deep mud
- Best with teammates to tow you
Mid-size Offroader
- Balanced grip and power
- Forgiving for new players
- Slower top speed on flat dirt
- Good all-around Stage 2 pick
Solo players should default to the smallest vehicle. In multiplayer, a stuck player can be towed by teammates — but only if they accept the tow request, so coordinate before attempting heavy trucks alone.
Tire Pressure and Gear Settings Reference
Tire pressure (PSI) is the single most important setting in Stage 2. Adjust it through the in-game slider menu — on mobile it sits above the gear selector; on PC, hover and select presets.
| Situation | PSI Setting | Gear | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rocky terrain | 40 | 2nd / 3rd | Stiff tires grip stones without bouncing |
| Hard dirt road | 36 | 2nd | Balanced speed and traction |
| Light mud | 10 | 1st / L | Larger contact patch, gradual crawl |
| Deep mud | 8 (minimum) | L | Maximum floatation prevents sinking |
| Water crossing | 8-10 | L or L+ | Grip on the riverbed |
| Steep climb | 36-40 | 2nd | Torque without wheel spin |
Never drop to 8 PSI on rocky ground — soft tires deform over stones and the vehicle will barely move. Reinflate first (you may need to restart the engine for the compressor to run), then attack the climb.
Gear Quick Reference
- L (Low minus): deepest mud and water, maximum crawl control
- L+: moderate mud and slippery climbs
- 2H: flat dirt and gentle hills, decent speed
- 4H: mixed wet terrain needing extra traction
- 1st/2nd/3rd: standard gears for faster sections — shift up to save fuel and time
Step-by-Step Stage 2 Route
Spawn and Prep
Choose a light vehicle if solo. Confirm tire type is set to off-road and locate the PSI slider before moving. Note the first gas station position on your route.
Rocky Opening Ridge
Set 40 PSI and use 2nd gear. Keep momentum steady but avoid full throttle — spinning wheels waste fuel and bounce you off-line.
River Crossing
Drop to 8-10 PSI and shift to L before entering water. Go slow and stick to the edges where the current is weaker. If water blocks your view, back up and re-approach.
Mud Flats and Winch Recovery
In deep mud, hold 8 PSI in L gear. If stuck, stop throttle immediately — flooring it digs you deeper. Deploy the winch to a nearby anchor, and turn the engine off while pulling to save fuel.
Bridge and Final Climb
Reinflate to 36 PSI before the bridge — falling here usually ends the run. Cross slowly in 2nd gear, then tackle the final rocky climb at 40 PSI to reach the checkpoint.
Reaching the end checkpoint saves Stage 2 progress. Fuel stops appear roughly twice on this route — the second station sits near the final climb, so budget fuel conservatively until you spot it.
Common Mistakes and Fixes
| Mistake | Result | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Keeping 40 PSI in mud | Vehicle sinks and stalls | Deflate to 8 PSI, use L gear |
| Flooring throttle when stuck | Digs deeper, wastes fuel | Winch out or request a tow |
| Leaving engine on while idle | Fuel drains on long stage | Turn off engine at stops |
| Heavy truck solo in mud | Frequent stuck scenarios | Switch to a light vehicle |
| Wrong gear (L+ vs L) in water | Stalls mid-crossing | Use L for deep, L+ for shallow |
| Speeding near the bridge | Fall risk ends the run | 2nd gear, slow and centered |
Some floating rocks and visual glitches exist in early access. If terrain looks wrong, back up and take the edge of the track — the outer line is usually the stable path.
Stage 2 Completion Checklist
Before You Finish Stage 2:
- Clear the rocky ridge at 40 PSI in 2nd gear
- Cross the river at 8-10 PSI without stalling
- Refuel at both gas stations on the route
- Recover from at least one mud stuck using the winch
- Cross the bridge safely and reach the final checkpoint
After Stage 2, the route continues into the second map of the same forest region. Players are hoping for a snow map in future updates — none has been confirmed in early access yet.
Q: How long does Low Range Offroad 4x4 Stage 2 take to complete?
A typical first run takes 40-60 minutes depending on vehicle choice and how often you get stuck. Experienced players using light vehicles can finish faster by managing tire pressure proactively.
Q: What PSI should I use in mud in Stage 2?
Use 8 PSI for deep mud — this is the minimum setting in game. For lighter mud, 10 PSI works. Anything above 20 PSI in mud will likely get you stuck.
Q: What happens if I run out of fuel in Stage 2?
If you run out of fuel before reaching a checkpoint, you have to restart the stage from the beginning. Refuel at every gas station you pass and turn off your engine during winching or waiting.
Q: Can I play Stage 2 solo, or do I need teammates?
You can complete Stage 2 solo with a small, light vehicle. Teammates are mainly useful for towing you out when stuck, which makes heavier trucks viable in multiplayer.
