Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How do I access the DLC Bike Skins?

Once you reach the first encampment (Copeland’s Camp), talk to the Mechanic. Under the “Visuals” and “Decals” tab, you will find the unlocked DLC skins ready to be applied to your bike at no in-game cost.

2. Can my PC handle the Hordes?

The v1.08 update includes a specific “Horde Optimization” toggle in the graphics settings. If you experience frame drops when facing large groups, ensure this is set to “Balanced” or “Performance” to maintain a steady framerate.

3. Is the “Broken Road” a separate map?

No, the “Broken Road” refers to the suite of Survival and Challenge content integrated into the main game world and the “Challenges” menu. It adds new ways to play without requiring a separate map download.

4. Does this version include the “New Game Plus”?

Yes! After completing the main story once, you can start a New Game Plus (NG+) to carry over all your weapons, skills, and bike upgrades into a new playthrough on any difficulty level.
