Wreckfest Cheats & Cheat Codes for Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PC, and More

Wreckfest is a racing video game that combines the excitement of high-octane racing with the chaos of demolition derbies. The game was developed by Bugbear Entertainment and published by THQ Nordic. Wreckfest is considered the spiritual successor to the FlatOut series, a legendary property of Bugbear. The game comes with both traditional racing and vehicular combat, which is powered by a realistic soft-body damage modeling engine that not only affects how the vehicles look but also how they interact. Here, we’ll look at the interesting world of Wreckfest and what we can offer gamers in cheats, tips, and tricks.

Wreckfest Premise

Wreckfest is all about demolition derbies and banger racing. The game brings intense destructive action to the table while including much of what modern racing games offer. The combination of realistic handling and destruction modeling means players experience destructible vehicles in a much more realistic fashion. Players take control of cars in various races and competitions with the primary objectives of either crossing the finish line first or being the last car standing. 

A large part of the game’s appeal is in the versatile customization system. The game allows for significant choice, letting players select vehicles, customize the exterior, and upgrade various parts for better performance. The gameplay is divided into three modes: career, multiplayer, and custom events, each offering a different way to experience the game’s racing and demolition mechanics.

Wreckfest is a leading title in the demolition derby niche.

Unlike most racing games, the races in Wreckfest include combat, requiring players to strike a balance between defense and attack. Players need to master tactical maneuvers like blocking and dodging, as well as aggressive strategies like ramming and shunting opponents. All this while keeping their vehicle out of harm’s way and running.

Wreckfest Characters

Wreckfest does not focus on individual characters but rather on the vehicles that players can select, customize, and race. Each vehicle has unique characteristics and can be modified to suit different racing styles and strategies. The different vehicles are accessible via the Market, Downloadable Content, Career Rewards, and more. Here are some vehicles from the selection of dozens.

Vehicles

  • Rocket: The Rocket embodies the classic American midsize car, drawing design inspiration from the iconic 1968 Ford Mustang. As a starter vehicle, it’s readily available to all players at the start of the game. This rear-wheel drive car falls into the C class with a solid performance.
  • Firefly: The Firefly is a European compact car that takes its design cues from the 1969 Saab 96. It unlocks at level 3 and is available for purchase for 4,320 Credits. The car features a front-wheel drive. While not powerful, this lightweight car is nimble with a good balance of speed, acceleration, and handling.
  • MudDigger: The MudDigger is an American SUV with a robust design similar to the 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. It is available on the Market for 6,890 Credits. It has a slightly lower performance index than the previous mentions, but its strength and durability are far beyond the competition.
  • Speedbird: The Speedbird is a full-size American car taking design inspiration from the 1968 Pontiac Firebird. This rear-wheel drive vehicle has a powerful V8 engine, which provides it a class A rating with a performance index of 260. This muscle car is available for purchase at 25,350 Credits.
  • Lawn Mower: The Lawn Mower offers a unique driving experience. This custom vehicle is inspired by the classic 1975 Ariens S-16 lawn mower. The Lawn Mower isn’t bought but can be obtained by winning the Eat Dirt! event. Due to its small size, it is surprisingly speedy and nimble.
  • The Sofa Car: This odd vehicle was added to the game with the August 2019 update. It is based on the Sofa Car by the inventor Edd China. This unique vehicle can be obtained by players through victory in the Couch Craze event.
