Core parts and what they do
Summary
The game gives you a toolkit of parts, each with a distinct job.
- Rockets high-speed propulsion, but the exhaust generates heat
- Jet engines another source of thrust, also producing heat in their exhaust
- Explosives deal damage to enemy vehicles in combat
- Balloons provide lift to raise your vehicle off the ground
- Machine gun a ranged weapon for attacking other players
- Fans an additional way to generate movement or lift

Altitude and balloon lift
Warn
Balloons do not give unlimited lift. As your vehicle rises higher, balloon lift decreases.
Getting parts through crates
Step
Parts are collected by purchasing crates. Each crate you open gives you a random selection of parts, so variety comes from opening multiple crates.
- A new crate costs 3,000 in the game's currency
- Open it to receive a random set of parts
Glossary
Glossary- Crate
- A purchasable box that costs 3,000 and gives you a random assortment of parts when opened.
- Lift
- The upward force balloons provide, which gets weaker the higher your vehicle climbs.
- Exhaust heat
- Thermal energy produced by rocket and jet engine exhaust.
- Quest
- An in-game objective you complete to progress, separate from free-form player-versus-player battles.
Common questions
FAQWhy does my balloon-powered vehicle keep falling?
Balloon lift decreases as altitude increases, so if you fly too high on balloons alone, they can no longer hold your vehicle up. Add rockets or jet engines to supplement lift at greater heights.
