The repair mission
Check
Your grandma is 10,000 meters away and the car isn't running yet. You need to search the area for the parts and tools to get it road-ready.
- Search inside buildings, not just around them.
- Check the ground and any tucked-away corners for repair items.
- Collect every part you find before attempting the repair.
Threats in the cold darkness

Navigation across the snowfields
Tips
The open snowy world makes it easy to lose your bearings. A few habits will keep you on course toward the 10,000-meter goal.
- Pick out distinctive buildings or terrain features and use them as landmarks as you drive.
- Climb to high ground — a hill or a rooftop — when you're unsure which way to go, since the view from above makes the layout clear.
Distance milestones to aim for
Summary
The game tracks how far you travel and awards badges at set distances. Use them as checkpoints to measure how far you still have to go.
- First checkpoint 1,000 meters
- Second checkpoint 3,000 meters
- Third checkpoint 5,000 meters

Enemies and extra challenges
TipsBeyond just reaching your grandma, the game recognises two additional feats. One involves defeating ten Zambias, and the other is a specific jump referred to as the Jump From Hell. Both are tracked as badges.
- Zambias are hostile entities in the world — taking out ten of them earns a dedicated badge.
- The Jump From Hell is a specific stunt the game recognises with its own badge.

Common questions
FAQI can't find all the repair parts. What should I check?
Go back through every building you've visited and look inside rather than just around the outside. Also check the ground and any corners that are easy to pass by quickly.
I've reached 10,000 meters but what were those other distance badges for?
The game marks your progress at 1,000, 3,000, and 5,000 meters before the final 10,000-meter badge. They serve as checkpoints so you can see how far through the journey you are.
