New Content:

Introducing Season 1: “Cave Odyssey”

Season 1 takes you into uncharted territory. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer or newcomer, “Cave Odyssey” lets you unearth deeply buried secrets in an all-new cave environment. For the first time in the MudRunner series, explore huge labyrinthine tunnels alone or with friends, where rare gems and mysterious unknown civilization records are hidden. Collect these precious stones and take part in a unique scientific discovery, but be careful to adapt your driving to this environment – it’s far more treacherous than the surface already is!

Two new vehicles make their appearance in the garage to help you navigate the 14 expeditions, 12 contracts and 11 tasks found in “Cave Odyssey”: the Step 72-49 “Albatross,” a sturdy six-wheeled vehicle, and the Shiba Overlander, a maneuverable scout ideal for tight spaces. You can also get the support of two specialists, Nava Desayi and Solveig Friedenlund, an Operator and Jaeger whose abilities make expeditions easier by improving drone speed and marking airdrops and shortcuts.

New content drops for free

In addition to Season 1 content included for Year Pass owners, new gameplay content is also here today free for all players: the Step 33-64 “Crocodile” high-clearance truck, the GPS Tracker tool, which can be placed on equipment caches to automatically sell their content, and the Helipad module, with the ability to teleport immediately to another vehicle from base.
