🗺️ Optimal Collection Routes
The best collection strategy depends on your chosen route and team composition. Here are optimized paths for different playstyles:
🛡️ Conservative "Max Resources" Route
Goal: Collect maximum resources for safe completion
Zone 1: Collect everything + cabin detour (18-22 min) → 3 oils, 4 foods
Zone 2: Stop at gas station + medical cache (must visit!) → +8 oils, +5 foods, +1 EpiPen
Zone 3: Checkpoint 2 resupply only (skip bear valley unless desperate) → +2 oils, +2 foods
Zone 4: Checkpoint 3 final stop → +1 oil, +1 food
Total Expected: 14 engine oils, 12 foods, 1 EpiPen
Completion Time: 70-80 minutes | Success Rate: 95%
⚖️ Balanced "Efficient" Route
Goal: Collect essentials quickly, skip optional items
Zone 1: Main road only, skip cabin (15-18 min) → 2 oils, 2 foods
Zone 2: Gas station + medical cache only (critical stops) → +6 oils, +3 foods, +1 EpiPen
Zone 3: Checkpoint 2 + canyon floor oil (if Canyon route) → +2 oils
Zone 4: Skip all (unless emergency)
Total Expected: 10 engine oils, 5 foods, 1 EpiPen
Completion Time: 55-65 minutes | Success Rate: 85%
⚡ Speedrun "Minimum Viable" Route
Goal: Collect bare minimum, maximize speed
Zone 1: Starting oil only, drive through (12-14 min) → 1 oil
Zone 2: Gas station stop only (medical cache optional if time) → +5 oils, +1 EpiPen (maybe)
Zone 3: Skip all (rely on Zone 2 stockpile)
Zone 4: Skip all
Total Expected: 6 engine oils, 0 foods, 0-1 EpiPen
Completion Time: 42-52 minutes | Success Rate: 65%
⚠️ High-risk strategy, expert teams only
🎲 Guaranteed vs Random Spawns
Understanding spawn mechanics helps you plan reliable collection routes versus gambling on random spawns.
✅ Guaranteed Spawns (100%)
These items always spawn in the same locations. Plan routes around these.
🛢️ Engine Oil:
18 guaranteed locations across all zones
🍔 Food:
12 guaranteed locations (burgers/canned food)
💉 EpiPen:
1 guaranteed location (Mile 12 medical cache)
⚡ Power Poles:
6 guaranteed locations
🧴 Lotion:
5 guaranteed locations (restrooms/buildings)
🎲 Random Spawns (Probability)
These items have chance-based spawns. Don't rely on them for critical runs.
🛢️ Engine Oil (Random):
10 additional locations at 40-70% spawn rate
💉 EpiPens (Random):
4 locations at 20% spawn rate (very rare!)
🍔 Food (Random):
8 locations at 30-50% spawn rate
🧪 Antidote:
2 locations at 40% spawn rate
🧴 Lotion (Random):
7 locations at 60% spawn rate
🧠 Pro Spawn Strategy
Plan A: Always count on guaranteed spawns only for critical planning.
Plan B: Treat random spawns as bonus/backup supplies.
Never: Rely on random EpiPen spawns - get the guaranteed one at Mile 12!
🚨 Emergency Resupply Strategies
When you realize you're critically low on supplies mid-run, here's how to recover without restarting.
🛢️ Emergency: Out of Engine Oil
If in Zone 1-2:
- Backtrack to last checkpoint - Restart from save point
- Collect missed guaranteed spawns - Check cabin, gas station
- Assign resource collector - One person's only job is finding oil
If in Zone 3-4:
- Don't panic - Engine can run on fumes for 5-10 minutes
- Send scouts forward - Players exit RV and search on foot
- Check supply boxes - 40% chance for oil in wooden crates
- Last resort: Backtrack to Checkpoint 2 (painful but works)
🍔 Emergency: Low Health, No Food
Immediate Actions:
- Hunt for meat - Kill rabbits/deer (not bears!) for raw meat
- Find campfire location - Cook meat patties
- Avoid bear encounters - Low health makes bears deadly
- Use EpiPen only as last resort - It's more valuable than food
Prevention: Always carry 2+ food items per person. Eat before health drops below 30%.
💉 Emergency: Missed Guaranteed EpiPen
If you're before Checkpoint 2:
TURN AROUND AND GET IT. The 5-minute backtrack is worth it. This is the only guaranteed EpiPen in the game.
If you're past Checkpoint 2:
- Check Bear Valley cache (Zone 3) - 20% chance for EpiPen
- Play ultra-safe - Avoid all bears, cliffs, and risks
- Keep health above 50% - Eat preemptively
- Accept the risk - Many teams complete without EpiPens (just harder)
💡 Final Resource Management Tips
✅ Always Do
- ✓ Collect engine oil even if inventory is full (drop lotion if needed)
- ✓ Get the Mile 12 medical cache EpiPen no matter what
- ✓ Assign one person as "resource manager" to track inventory
- ✓ Stop at Zone 2 gas station - most important resupply point
- ✓ Check wooden crates and supply boxes (not just buildings)
- ✓ Share resources with team - don't hoard in personal inventory
❌ Never Do
- ✗ Skip guaranteed spawns to "save time" - costs more time later
- ✗ Use EpiPen for minor injuries - it's for death prevention only
- ✗ Waste inventory space on multiple lotions/antidotes
- ✗ Risk bear encounters for random spawn locations
- ✗ Backtrack more than 5 minutes for optional items
- ✗ Rush through Zone 2 - this is your critical stockpile zone
