TATRA Joins SnowRunner with 2 new trucks!

Hello SnowRunners!



We are thrilled to announce that TATRA Trucks have joined SnowRunner!



Today, two new TATRA trucks are available in-game to all Year 2 Pass owners.

The Czech manufacturer is the first European brand to join SnowRunner’s family of rugged, iconic, and durable vehicles, taking the stage in style with the TATRA 813 and TATRA 805. The 813 is a heavy 8-wheeler boasting incredible agility for a truck of its size, while the 805 is a versatile off-road truck capable of traversing the most difficult of paths.

Today’s TATRA Dual Pack is available to all Year 2 Pass owners. SnowRunner has mountains of content yet to come, and that includes more TATRA trucks, so stay tuned for more.

May Winners - Mod Creator Awards!

Hello SnowRunners!



May has come and gone! It's time to discover this month's best mods according to the devs.

They have selected five mods that stood out from others. The rules and categories are the following:


  1. Vehicle: The devs will pick their overall favorite vehicles, based on both look and how it feels to play. (Two winners)
  2. Map Design: The devs will pick maps based on their design, including tasks, missions, flow, and how it feels to play.
  3. Map Environment: The devs will pick maps based on the most impressive, detailed, and aesthetically pleasing environments.
  4. Unique: This is the odd one out. Mods that push the boundaries of expectation. Points for originality, innovation, uniqueness, and fun. Basically, this is where the giant purple octopus trucks go.


Here we go!



Vehicle #1


VladSib72's Type S-100

Dev comment: "This a great homage to a very old French truck. It's the first time we see a parallel cargo load in a mod truck, great idea! Although it may be too huge for some areas in our game, we still love playing around with it".



Vehicle #2


Iceberg101's Delta Hercules Semi Truck

Dev comment: "Beautiful mod with one of the best dashboard views that we've seen in mods. Works perfectly with Delta Semi_Trailer Pack from the same mod creator".



Map Design


Remoh667's Highway Haulin

Dev comment: "Another great mod Remoh667 which is this time mostly focused on transportation on asphalt roads. Great map to play with friends in co-op".



Map Environment


Blood_Rage's Foothills Of Sayan

Dev comment: "Beautiful Siberian map, we really enjoyed various sceneries around this map. And custom sounds and 4K textures are a really nice touch".



Unique


FlamingYakuma's UniAIMOW - 4x4 Made in Sri Lanka

Dev comment: "A truck from Sri Lanka? Hell Yeah! Not sure if the armored vehicle is really needed in the peaceful world of Snowrunner, but still - it's really nice scout truck with an unusual appearance".



Come everyone, let's congratulate the winners in the comments! We are so grateful to all modders for sharing their awesome mods with the community.

Many people have joined the community since SnowRunner is now available on many new platforms. Hopefully, your mod will also be rewarded in the coming Mod Creator Awards!

Take care and keep up the great work!
The Saber, Focus, and mod.io teams
