Bored in BeamNG.Drive? Try These Secret Features


With so much to do, it is difficult knowing what to do in BeamNG.Drive, but Marvin has found secret features to keep you entertained when bored. How many were you aware of?

Several large free roam maps, a plethora of cars, a long list of challenges and seemingly endless third party content. There is no doubt that BeamNG.Drive has a lot to offer on the surface. However, in his most recent video, our own Marvin Miller has found a collection of no less than 30 secrets to discover in the game.

In fact, whilst there are so many things to do in the game, one will eventually get bored. So if that time does ever come for you, why not try exploring the numerous hidden features of the game. Locations and keyboard shortcuts are certainly cool. But a hidden game mode might just take the biscuit as the coolest secret in BeamNG.


How to Play BeamNG.Drive Career Mode​

In his video, Marvin points out that the Career Mode button on the Main Menu is greyed out. However, there is a way of playing this rudimental campaign. The process is far from difficult, but here is how to launch the game mode.

  • Open the BeamNG.Drive Main Menu
  • Click on the Career Mode panel six times
  • Click ‘Yes’ on the Experimental Warning screen
  • You are ready to go.
In this Career Mode, you start out with a second hand road car. Use this model to complete challenges, earning money as you do so. Spend this money on upgrading your car to complete more complicated events. Slowly, you will work your way up to building an out-and-out race car, or even purchase a brand new supercar. Simple but effective, it offers plenty of replay value.

More Hidden Secrets​

Aside from the Career Mode in BeamNG.Drive, Marvin also covers a variety of other secrets in the game. The title seemingly offers secret locations hiding in plain sight on a variety of maps. From strange buildings to underground routes to explore and freaky sounds, there is much to explore.

Elsewhere, many of the game’s cars feature neat little Easter Eggs. Certain models see the player connecting dots and laughing out loud whilst others can be painted with pop culture references. To find out all 30 of the secrets we have found in BeamNG.Drive, check out Marvin’s video.

Well just remember that there are some like me that can’t read white on black text well, so also keep the option for black on white text should the user require it.
Yes, this is not about "getting rid" of the light version, but adding the other one. Totally agree that there should be options!
 
I bought this game and tried it for an hour and a half.
I just don't get it,
what the draw,
is it smashing up cars, and driving off cliffs.
what's the objective.

Pretty much smashing up cars and driving off cliffs, yes. :laugh:

The damage model is probably the best in sim racing. So you can do interesting stuff in it. The challenges and scenarios can be very tough and rewarding. Its also secretly a damn good rally simulator. Its different to anything else out there. Do the different scenarios like trying to get to the top of the hill in the desert, and see.

No.
The objective is multi-multi purpose.
After I acquired the game ...or rather 'sim' as I tend to call it now, I was about to seek full refund after 15 min gameplay since wreckfest sort of things had zero of my interest.
But there's so many possibilities - I think even MP some have mentioned - in BeamNG, that it's hard to summarize.

It's the sandbox to end all sandboxes.

And I pretty much like it that way.

You can do almost whatever is your purpose, only limit is your imagination and ofc content, but also healthy modding community here.

This title is maybe only #5 of my common sims rankings, but is advancing on my personal list.

Possibly depends on what you are looking for in a Sim / Game.

For me it was finding out what BeamNG can do for the way I personally like to use /enjoy the Sim.

In BeamNG being able to create an IRL racing scenerio from working on the car with upgrades, whether engine / wheels / graphics etc etc, driving the Race Car onto a Trailer and towing it to the Race Track with my vehicle of choice for a days testing and racing, just like IRL...then taking Screenshots of my journey.

Personally like to thank the BeamNG Devs for adding more Trailer Options to the core game...absolutely brilliant:inlove:
