Buckle Up, Buttercup (For a Slightly Less Bumpy Ride): Your Guide to (Not Quite) Getting a Car in Generation Zero
Let's face it, exploring the scenic (and robot-infested) landscapes of 1980s Sweden in Generation Zero is all well and good, but wouldn't it be nice to ditch the trainers for some comfy car seats? I mean, those mechanoids aren't exactly known for their chill vibes, and who wants to play leapfrog with a rogue tank on foot?
Hold Your Moose Burgers: There's a Catch (or Two)
Here's the thing, as much as we'd all love to cruise around in a cherry red Volvo blasting ABBA, the developers haven't exactly blessed us with drivable cars. Apparently, the post-apocalypse doesn't come with a complimentary dealership visit.
But Fear Not, Fellow Wasteland Wanderers!
Tip: Read in a quiet space for focus.
Just because you can't exactly peel out in a muscle car doesn't mean you're stuck hoofing it everywhere. Here's your not-so-official guide to getting your motor running (metaphorically speaking) and navigating this robot apocalypse with a little more... oomph.
The Tuned Moped: Your Post-Apocalyptic Chariot Awaits
Okay, it's not a Ferrari, but the Tuned Moped that rolled in with the Dark Skies update is a definite step up from shank's mare. Imagine the wind whipping through your hair... well, what's left of it after all those robot encounters, as you zip past startled bunnies (or maybe those are just rogue spare parts?). This little speed demon lets you:
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
- Leave the Shin Splints Behind: Ditch the walking and scoot around the Swedish countryside at breakneck speeds (well, breakneck for a moped).
- Become a Packrat Pro: Stock up on more loot than you can carry on your back. Because, let's face it, who doesn't love a good post-apocalyptic shopping spree?
- Style on the Apocalypse: Look ridiculously cool cruising past those rusty old bicycles.
Just a heads up: You'll need to conquer some missions to unlock this bad boy. But hey, a little robot-slaying never hurt anyone, right?

Bicycles: Because Survival is a Cycle (Literally)
Let's be honest, bicycles in Generation Zero are about as sturdy as a gingerbread house in a zombie apocalypse. But hey, they're plentiful, and with some practice, you can become a two-wheeled maestro, weaving through robot legs like a human pinball on a sugar rush.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Bonus Tip: If you manage to pull off a sick jump and land on a robot, well, that's a story for the campfire (assuming you can find any firewood that hasn't been used to power a rogue toaster).
The Power of Imagination (and Maybe Some Duct Tape)
Look, if you squint really hard and maybe hot-rod some scrap metal with enough duct tape to make MacGyver jealous, maybe, just maybe, you can convince yourself you're in a car. Just don't blame us if a rogue laser beam bursts your bubble (and possibly your duct tape masterpiece).
Tip: Compare what you read here with other sources.
Remember, Adventurer, the Journey is the Destination (Especially Since There Aren't Any Cars)
So, while you might not be cruising down the highway in a chrome chariot, there are still ways to get around this robot-infested world with a little style (and maybe a dash of insanity). Embrace the moped, master the bicycle, or just channel your inner post-apocalyptic roadie. After all, in the grand scheme of things, surviving giant robots is probably more important than having a car, right?
