Trucks in-game?

[Corun]

I thought trucks were only available right now via the steam preorder reward which isn't unlocked yet? I am a bit confused on how some players were able to drive trucks in beta seeing as how I didn't see any for sale in vendors? So basically where and how do you get other confirmed vehicles(other than the Charger and A-Tex) in-game at launch?

I think you get the big grey ( Metal) truck for a quest ( not sure which 1 ) I've seen loads of them on xbox and we don't have steam And the yellow and white pickup truck which you can buy from a vendor

It is part of the main quest if you mean the lorry type vehicles. Or if you mean the pick-up trucks then they are unlockable through "bits" (ingame currency)

Hullers have only been confirmed in missions at the moment, I have the feeling they will be available on launch as a mobile spawn point. The pick-ups were on the shop which you could buy for "bits"

Some, if not most player was given 4000 bits. We use the bits on the Defiance store to buy the truck.

Truck model number is "RM Nomad V6"


By the way did you enter your steam defiance CD key on to your trion account yet?

First thing I'll be doing when logging in is buying a nomad. Loved that thing! Must of spent a good couple of hours just driving from the crash site to the embassy and back again.

It's possible the items in the shop during beta will not be available right away at launch, and were only there for testing. They may slowly roll them out over time when the game goes live.

I hate to say this, but if you really want to own the truck.. you're likely to buy it regardless of the color it's released in. And then you're likely to buy it again a weeks later when they release the truck in the color you actually want. Don't be too surprised if that sort of thing happens.

From the wording on the Steam pre-order tier 3 reward, it just sounds like you can obtain that particular color truck (either for free or as an option to purchase) sooner than it would otherwise be available normally.

Thanks for all the info, folks.

I am very much a fan of the vehicles Defiance has to offer.

I bought a roller off of the crash site vendor (forgotten the area's name, heh) for 500 script.
Instantly fell in love with it, from the boadiceas to the Bat Mobile lookin' exhaust, all of it was awesome!
How you 'mount' is pretty sweet too!
None of this watchin' a cast bar and hopin' you can get it between ticks, on that 4 hour duration DoT...


After release, if I can get lucky enough to find another within the first few minutes of playin' again, I'll be a happy man.

The truck was also for sale for scrip on the intial E-Rep base vendor at some point.
