How it plays
Keep the car alive.
Let the guns do the rest.
Steer through the horde while the turret on your roof picks its own targets. Positioning, speed and nerve decide whether you make it.
- 01
Drive through them
You only steer. Ram the horde, slide the handbrake round corners, hit jump ramps for big air and fire the nitro when the road closes up.
- 02
Your guns aim themselves
The roof gun picks its own targets, the rocket pod hits the thickest crowd, the tail gun covers your back and rescued survivors shoot from the windows.
- 03
Get out and go in
Stop the car and drop into first person: search stores and tents, rescue survivors, carry fuel back to the car and run when the alarm goes off.
- 04
Come back stronger
Spend Scrap in the garage and the camp, level up to open new cars and guns, set your loadout and take on the next, harder road.
Features
Everything the road throws at you
Arcade driving, six roof guns, first-person house runs, bosses with telegraphed attacks, a camp to build and a friend to drag along.

The garage
Three cars. Built to take a beating.
Pick your ride before every run. Garage upgrades carry over to whichever car you drive, and the paint shop dresses any of them.
