๐ฏ Survival Basics
Surviving Mabutts Valley requires careful management of multiple resources. Your health, hunger, and status effects all work together to determine whether you make it home or become another statistic.
โค๏ธ Health System
Your health determines how much damage you can take. Reaches zero = death.
๐ Hunger System
Hunger slowly depletes over time. Low hunger = reduced stamina and slower movement.
๐งช Status Effects
Various effects from poison, cold, injuries that need specific cures.
โ ๏ธ The Survival Loop
You must constantly balance three things: Health management, Food supply, and Status effect treatment. Neglect any one and you'll likely die.

๐ฆ Essential Items Guide
Here are all the key survival items you'll encounter in Mabutts Valley:

โ ๏ธ RARE ITEM: Lotions are scarce in RV There Yet. Burns drain health continuously - use Lotion promptly or risk death!
๐ก Tip: Burns can sometimes heal naturally, but at significant health cost. Keep 1 Lotion when exploring fire-hazard areas!
Equip Lotion from inventory and apply to burned areas
๐ Dealing with Snakes & Eagles
Snakes
Where They Spawn:
Random locations, especially near water bodies (rivers, lakes, streams)
Danger:
All snake bites are 100% poisonous by default. Poison will drain your HP over time until you die.
How to Survive:
- โข Avoidance: Snakes cannot be killed - best strategy is to avoid them entirely
- โข If Bitten: Use Antidote IMMEDIATELY (or die and get revived with EpiPen)
- โข Prevention: Watch your step near water and grassy areas
- โข Inventory: Always carry 1-2 Antidotes when exploring
โ ๏ธ You CANNOT kill snakes. If you see one, give it wide berth!
Eagles
Where They Spawn:
Rare sightings, exclusively found in forest areas
Danger:
Eagles keep their distance but can swoop down and grab players, lifting them into the air.
How to Survive:
Method 1: Winch
If playing alone, grab the winch attached to your RV. This prevents the eagle from picking you up.
Method 2: Teamwork
If with friends, have them catch you when the eagle grabs you. You can also catch grabbed teammates.
Method 3: RV Shelter
Run to your RV and get inside preemptively when you spot an eagle circling above.
๐ก Eagles are much rarer than bears or snakes, but still dangerous if unprepared!

๐ฃ Environmental Hazards - Land Mines & Roadblocks
Beyond wildlife and fire, Mabutts Valley is filled with man-made dangers. According to reports from RV Business, players face "land mines, dangerous animals, and roadblocks" on their journey. These environmental hazards require team coordination and careful navigation to overcome.
Land Mines โ ๏ธ
One of the deadliest threats in Mabutts Valley is hidden land mines scattered across certain paths. A single mine can cause catastrophic damage to your RV or instantly kill players on foot.
๐ Identification:
- โข Visual cues: Look for disturbed earth or suspicious mounds
- โข Path markers: Avoid areas marked with warning signs
- โข Scout ahead: Always have a player walk ahead of the RV
- โข Night danger: Mines are harder to spot in darkness
- โข Common locations: Military zones, abandoned areas, shortcuts
โ Avoidance Strategy:
- Scout role: Assign a player to scout ahead (on foot)
- Proximity chat: Use voice to warn driver of mines
- Mark safe paths: Use hand gestures or waypoints
- Slow approach: Never rush through suspicious areas
- Alternate routes: If detected, reverse and find safer path
๐ฅ If You Hit a Mine:
- โข RV damage: Severe engine and body damage (multiple Engine Oils needed)
- โข Player damage: May instantly down nearby players
- โข Chain reactions: One mine may trigger others nearby
- โข Game over risk: Low health + mine = likely wipe
- โข Emergency protocol: Immediate EpiPen use, emergency repairs
๐ก Pro Tip: Land mines are most common on "shortcut" paths that seem too good to be true. The main road is longer but usually mine-free!
Roadblocks & Obstacles
Throughout your journey, you'll encounter various roadblocks that require team coordination to clear. These obstacles test your problem-solving skills and teamwork.
๐ ๏ธ Types of Roadblocks:
๐ฒ 1. Fallen Trees
Large trees blocking the entire road
Solution: Use winch to pull aside, or saw to cut (if available)
๐ 2. Broken Bridges
Collapsed or damaged bridges over water
Solution: Repair (requires resources) or use bridge jump technique
๐ชจ 3. Rock Slides
Boulders and debris blocking the path
Solution: Clear smaller rocks manually, winch larger ones
๐ 4. Abandoned Vehicles
Cars and trucks blocking narrow roads
Solution: Push with RV or winch to the side
๐ Clearing Strategy (Team Coordination):
-
1.
Stop at Safe Distance - Park RV 10-15 meters away from obstacle
-
2.
Exit Players (2-3) - Leave 1 player as driver for quick escape
-
3.
Assess Situation - Determine best clearing method (winch, push, or bypass)
-
4.
Clear Path - Use tools efficiently, communicate via proximity chat
-
5.
Verify Clearance - Scout ahead before advancing RV
-
6.
Re-board & Continue - All players back in RV before proceeding
โก Advanced Techniques:
- โข Winch mastery: Some obstacles can be bypassed entirely with skilled winch use
- โข Bridge jumping: Skip broken bridges with third-gear jump technique
- โข Off-road navigation: Sometimes driving around is faster than clearing
- โข Power Pole shortcuts: Use electricity to create alternate paths
๐ก Pro Tip: Some roadblocks can be bypassed entirely with careful navigation or advanced techniques. Assess before wasting time on manual clearing!
๐ฏ Environmental Hazard Survival Tips
โ DO:
- โ Always scout ahead in dangerous areas
- โ Use proximity chat constantly
- โ Designate a lead scout role
- โ Plan alternate routes beforehand
- โ Keep emergency supplies ready (Engine Oil, EpiPens)
โ DON'T:
- โ Rush through suspicious areas
- โ Ignore warning signs or markers
- โ Leave all players in the RV during clearing
- โ Waste time on clearable obstacles when bypass exists
- โ Split the party too far from RV
๐ฝ๏ธ Food & Consumables Strategy
Managing food is crucial for long-term survival:
๐ Burger vs. Meat Patty
โ Burgers (Pre-cooked)
- โข Instant use - no prep needed
- โข Best for emergencies
- โข Carry these as primary food
- โข Restore hunger + HP regen
๐ฅฉ Meat Patties (Raw)
- โข Must grill first (takes time)
- โข Good when at safe stops
- โข More common than burgers
- โข Same effect once cooked
๐ฅ How to Use the RV Grill
- Find the grill on the RV (usually on the back or side)
- Hold a frozen meat patty
- Interact with the grill
- Wait 10-15 seconds for cooking animation
- Patty becomes "Grilled Burger" - ready to eat!
๐ฅ Medical Supplies Management
Priority System
When taking damage, use items in this order:
- EpiPen - For immediate emergency healing (bear attack, critical HP)
- Burger - For moderate healing + hunger management
- Antidote - If poisoned (always cure poison first!)
- Brewski - Only if desperate and no other options
๐ Recommended Loadout
Per Player Carry:
- โข 3x EpiPens - Emergency healing
- โข 4x Burgers - Food + healing
- โข 1-2x Antidotes - Poison cure
- โข 1x Brewski - Optional morale
๐ฆ RV Storage
Keep in RV:
- โข 10+ Burgers/Patties - Food reserves
- โข 5-8 EpiPens - Medical backup
- โข 3-5 Antidotes - Poison treatment
- โข 5+ Engine Oil - RV maintenance
๐ Resource Management Strategies
1. Team Resource Sharing
Distribute resources across all players so one death doesn't lose everything:
- โข Each player carries some of each item type
- โข Share items during rest stops to rebalance
- โข Call out "Need EpiPen!" if running low
- โข Keep team supplies in RV storage as backup
2. Scavenging Priority
When looting locations, search in this order:
- Engine Oil (always top priority!)
- EpiPens (life-saving medical)
- Burgers/Food (survival essential)
- Antidotes (situational but important)
- Brewskis/Cigarettes (low priority)
3. Conservation Tactics
Make supplies last longer:
- โข Don't heal at full HP - wait until needed
- โข Use burgers for minor damage, save EpiPens for emergencies
- โข Grill meat patties during safe stops instead of using burgers
- โข Avoid unnecessary risks that waste healing items
4. Checkpoint Restocking
At every major checkpoint/safe zone:
- โข Search thoroughly for all items
- โข Top up everyone's personal supplies
- โข Refill RV storage to maximum
- โข Cook any meat patties you found
