Tips For Beginners in RV There Yet

1. Take Your Time Learning Controls

Controlling the vehicle in RV There Yet is not an easy task. The RV has a manual clutch system, meaning you have to shift gears to speed up or slow down. While it can take some time getting used to such driving mechanics, it does come in handy when making sharp turns that require good control over speed and technique. 

It is recommended to first start a save file just to learn the driving in this game, then attempt an actual run in another file. 

2. Explore Around The Map

The map in RV There Yet is quite large and full of unique locations and structures. While you can skip most of it, we recommend driving around and going the intended path. The reason is that every important location has items that can help you immensely on your journey. Therefore, not exploring thoroughly will hinder you in the long term.

3. Use The Winch

The Winch is one of the most essential tools that you start with on your RV. It allows you to hook onto a surface and either pull in or out using a remote. This allows your RV to reach seemingly impossible locations that you cannot reach with normal driving. Moreover, you can also get yourself out of being stuck in case you took a wrong turn. 

4. Collect Different Items

Managing your resources can be a challenging task, as the survival aspect of the game can sometimes be overwhelming. As you progress through checkpoints, you have to keep collecting items to keep yourself and your RV in top condition. Unfortunately, your RV has limited storage space, so you need to learn which items to keep in your inventory

5. Repair Your RV

There is a health bar at the top of your screen that shows your RV’s current health. Different parts of your RV can take damage, as shown in that bar. Moreover, you can find items inside your RV that allow you to repair both the interior and exterior damage. To do so, just select the item and interact with the green-highlighted spot to repair that section. Make sure to return the repair tools, as losing them is one of the best ways to lose the entire run.

6. Make Use Of Checkpoints

As mentioned earlier, RV There Yet is a long game. You should pass through each and every checkpoint, as the game saves when you enter one. The checkpoint locations allow you to reload if you encounter a problem with the route or lose items along the way. Moreover, all checkpoints have supplies you can use or keep, depending on your needs.

7. Use Cigarettes and Beer When Needed

Cigarettes and Beer are both consumable items in RV There Yet. Using them grants you temporary buffs that can save your run in important times. Here are both their effects:

  • Cigarettes: Using these gives you a decent boost to your speed, allowing you to run quickly away from danger.
  • Beer: Drinking beer gives you a strength boost, which will enable you to carry or move heavy objects with ease for a short time. 

You can find both items anywhere, as Cigarettes and Beer are very common.

8. Stay Away From Wildlife

Mabutts Valley in RV There Yet is home to a variety of wildlife. One of the best tips in this game is to stay absolutely far away from every one of them. All animals have some kind of counter to them, but there is always a chance that you can mess up, which can end the run. Here are some counters to wild animals in RV There Yet:

  • Bear: Use the Bear Spray item to scare them away.
  • Snake: Throw items to distract the snake. You have to use the Antidote in case you get poisoned.
  • Eagle: Run to your RV and get inside to avoid being attacked. Moreover, you have to wait till the Eagle leaves. 

9. Try New Paths

When you wish to reach a new checkpoint, you can take multiple paths, as there is no set pathway. Therefore, try different paths if one isn’t working. The reload function allows you to quickly revisit the previous checkpoint, meaning you can always change your plan on which direction to head. 

10. Get More Players

If you are having trouble beating RV There Yet on your own, the best tip is to get more players in your lobby. You can beat RV There Yet on your own, but doing so is very difficult, as you need quite a lot of map knowledge. The game is meant to be played with a group of four, as each person can take on a specific task during the journey. 

If you are having trouble finding players to play with, we recommend joining different community servers where other players are looking to play with someone.
