Vehicle repairs guide

Recover a stuck player or vehicle

Quick answer

A player rescue option and a separate vehicle respawn option were documented in the June Demo updates. Check which one your installed build offers before restarting.

On this page

June 2026 Demo feature history; current Early Access recovery UI and cargo behavior not independently tested.

Identify what is stuck

If you cannot move on foot, use the visible player rescue control. If only the RV is trapped, look for the separate vehicle respawn option. The June 18 notes explicitly introduced vehicle respawning; the June 22 notes expanded player rescue. These are different systems.

Before recovery

Record the location and current build, and preserve your latest usable save. The notes do not establish a current hotkey, respawn destination or cargo-retention rule. Check the confirmation text in your build before applying it. If the RV is free but will not move, diagnose ignition warnings and the handbrake instead.
