The idea for Pacific Drive came from Alexander Dracott when he drove across the Olympic Peninsula in 2019. He began developing the game with his team at Ironwood Studios, which he built during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The game was announced in September 2022 and launched on February 22, 2024. People loved the atmosphere, the characters, and the way they could customize their vehicles. But some people find the gameplay repetitive and difficult.

  1. Bring your car into the workshop: First, bring your car into the workshop. If you park your car outside, move it into a garage. Make sure it stops in the right spot so you can do it correctly.

  2. Repair the wheel: If a wheel falls off, don’t panic. Just pick it up and put it back. You’ll find it where you park your car. Then you may want to make some other parts, such as doors. You’ll start with basic blueprints and unlock better ones later.

  3. Gather materials: Look for materials in old car trunks behind the garage door and in nearby dumpsters. Use a pry bar to open the trunk. You’ll need things like scrap metal, plastic, tape, and glass shards.

  4. Craft New Parts: After gathering the materials, head to the crafting bench to craft what you need. For example, to make a door, follow the recipe and then install it on your car.

  5. Use patching putty: This stuff is handy for repairing damaged parts like doors, hoods, panels, and bumpers. Get it from the store locker and use it where needed.

  6. Fix flat tires: Scan your tires to see if they have a flat tire. You can fix them by making a sealing kit or using a spare tire from your storage locker. If you don’t have what you need, explore the auto shop and use the scraper to find materials.

  7. Tighten loose parts: If something is loose, such as a wheel, use a mechanic’s kit to tighten it. Just click on the part that needs to be fixed.

Once you’ve done all of this, your car should be in great shape and ready for your next adventure on Pacific Drive!

Your car may exhibit some quirks, such as a random honking sound, and you’ll need to use headphones for diagnostics to fix the problem. While traveling, you can perform simple repairs, such as changing a tire or using a blowtorch, but more complex repairs can be done in the garage.

In the garage, you can use the Invention Station to collect resources and create machines to help you, such as machines that find new routes or add fuel to your car. You can also use a circular saw to collect scrap metal from wrecked vehicles. Weather conditions can affect how your vehicle handles.

As you explore, metal monsters will attack your car, and you’ll need to use a chainsaw to fend them off. There are other obstacles, such as electrical anomalies and obstacles that interfere with your electronic devices. As you progress, you’ll unlock new locations.

Along the way, you’ll find crafting recipes and blueprints for upgrading your vehicle, as well as notes, audio logs, and NPCs you can interact with. Collecting power cores opens the door back to the garage, but doing so makes the world a more dangerous place, triggering enemies and storms that can harm you.
