The new settings added to Pacific Drive will allow players to customize the game experience how they choose. Seven new presets have been added that change the gameplay experience. Some of these presets will lower the challenge while others add extra brutal difficulty. Scenic Tour removes player death, lowers crafting requirements and nerfs hazards, while Joyride keeps hazard difficulty at the base game level while keeping crafting requirements low. On the other end, Nuclear Journey increases radiation on all maps, while Mechanic’s Road Trip makes the car more susceptible to damage. For the ultimate challenge, Iron Wagon deletes your save file if you die. The Pacific Drive difficulty will allow you to keep the experience exactly as it was originally.

If these new settings are not to your liking, the Pacific Drive content update will allow you to tweak the individual elements to create your own custom difficulty. There are now 50 settings to play around with, allowing full customization of the experience. These include off-road handling difficulty, flat tire severity, storm speed, crafting requirements, and more. You can even make accidentally closing the trunk on your head kill you instantly if you wish.

Other new features added in the Pacific Drive content update include new cosmetics and the ability to paint all surfaces of the car, including the wheels. There is also paid DLC content adding cosmetics based on the game’s various anomalies, allowing you to equip a sawblade hood ornament and a steering wheel that looks like an Anchor, among others. Finally, the content update will allow PC players to implement custom soundtracks using local audio files.

Pacific Drive is out now for PC and PS5. The new content update has also just released for the game.
