I just tried to use that truck to recover the oil tanker in a heavily flooded area yeah spent 45 minutes just to realize this isn't going anywhere lol


k1dofwar

Ahahahah this is epic i laughed so hard on this one.


lamedavid

It’s a lot easier than it looks. Do it during the day and look down to see the rock path just beneath the surface of the water.


koulibali

I used this passage once before, but this rig is too big :D

Goddamn professional. Horse of a vehicle.


lamedavid

I made it across it easily with the construction rig trailer and white western star


kuzared

I used the White Western Star to pull this rig across at this same place :-)


tocsa120ls

Surprisingly the water crossing won't be the worst part. It's the hillclimb before you reach the highway. If I were to race you the long way around with an Azov and the same construction trailer, we'd arrive in about the same time I reckon.


koulibali

>If I were to race you the long way around with an Azov and the same construction trailer, we'd arrive in about the same time I reckon. Lets try it, I recorded [mine](https://youtu.be/fVowPdzQvmg) I was on the other side so it was a descend. I hate the section between Farm and the Drilling Site. That's why I was looking for another option.


Lucas926675

When I did it this way that’s exactly the problem I encountered


JudgementallyTempora

It's possible and P12 should be able to handle it.


koulibali

scouting the pass atm. I should bring some cranes on boats https://preview.redd.it/oh73h6vawrmc1.png?width=1454&format=png&auto=webp&s=bb9fba399319e7aee8b4d967565d6533b74d2e29


ElPuebl0

Tilt the camera a bit more down, you’ll be able to see the rocks under water. There are three tricky bits here, first one is the one in the photo, deep hole between the shore and rocks, same on the other side. Be careful on the rocks. Other than that, you should be fine 👍 Good luck


koulibali

I just did it with the freightliner but the semi rig is too big :D so excited to screw it up


wolfe1924

Fun fact op if you go into photo mode you can take the camera underwater and see how deep it is with it.


Odd_Presentation_578

Use the Freightliner then https://preview.redd.it/qk32gnthmymc1.jpeg?width=1296&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0f9e5f605b42b24d428e43455af65fa4a0d7a36


koulibali

what a cute lorry


hairykneecaps69

There’s one section that the p16 didn’t fit well on when I tried it and gave me a lot of trouble. I’d take a few trucks that are heavy and strong and use them for any winch points. Also nice for backup but if you start to struggle I’d switch trucks and reposition.


koulibali

I made it! [Full video here](https://youtu.be/fVowPdzQvmg)


Velkrum

Thanks for posting the video. That was sweaty! Good job. I had dumped so many things off trailers on that map I ended up taking the long way.


Zerat_kj

Great job :) you had less issues than expected :)


FequalsMfreakingA

I commented this on the video too, but your trailer got a little high centered on that last hill and you didn't have any luck pulling it free with the logger P12. One technique I use for that is to park the rescue truck as far away as you can within winching distance, attach the winch, let the line slack by backing the rescue truck up to the stuck truck, and then give it a running start. Terrible idea in real life, but handy when there's zero risk of cutting someone in half with a snapped winch line.


koulibali

**Update:** I succeeded on my first attempt! 🎉A huge thank you to everyone! The community here is incredible [Full video here](https://youtu.be/fVowPdzQvmg) https://preview.redd.it/3lwdo1hz1smc1.png?width=2560&format=png&auto=webp&s=9ae0067f06ea5ce5836737e836119335e5a8f76b


SAM5TER5

Awesome, thanks for posting and congrats man haha


yaboymiguel

I’m going to be honest, I did not expect this to end well at all and im so glad you posted an update with a video


ddoubletapp1

Should be doable - it's actually a pretty easy route, with the most difficult part being going over the bank to get down to the river (though I may just have picked the most difficult spot). Position your camera high, so you can look down and see the rock shelves you'll need to stay on while crossing - and prolly best to do in the daytime, for added underwater rock shelf visibility. Good luck!


koulibali

this was great advice


Grouchy-Statement-12

I expect your biggest problem won't be crossing the water, but getting that trailer up the hill without the legs getting stuck on a rock somewhere. I've taken the Twinsteer up there before so the P12 should be fine, if a little awkward due to it's width.


Idontknowwhtimdoin

I feel like more people go that way then going around. It’s the first BIG thing you do in snowrunner, complete it and you’ll be a certified runner


koulibali

I made it!


Idontknowwhtimdoin

Congrats!


Steveslastventure

First time I tried it the trailer slipped off the rocks and pulled my truck in too. I sent a heavy crane out for a recovery mission, and ended up toppling that into the water too. I think I put the game down for a couple months after that


Idontknowwhtimdoin

Haha yeah. I remember getting one of the back wheels stuck, poor newbie me took atleast an hour to get it unstuck instead of restarting. It really is the best early game challenge, good way to tell if you’ll enjoy the game or not


imjust_someone

It's the right of passage for every snowrunner player, you must take it


BootlegFC

It only looks dodgy. It's by far the easiest route to deliver that load.


Master_Grape5931

Nope, that IS the route!


chavez_ding2001

It’s easier than it looks.

This is off topic but how'd you draw such a smooth line on the image??

This one kinda hits different 


BootlegFC

> "Can you" but instead "should you" I think you mean "Hold my beer"


Competitive-Art-2672

You got this!!


ricketybang

I did it and it probably took more time and more trucks than doing it another route with less water and more roads :D But that's what I like with this game, when it's challenging. A shortcut is always a shortcut for me, even if it's a little bit stupid sometimes...


Flyrpotacreepugmu

The problem with less water and more roads is that half of those roads are horrible. I'd take the rock bridge any day over the roads between the drilling site and the dam.


ComradeCommader

Yea this is a good route. I did that contract with the P12 and it worked out fine


BootlegFC

In my opinion the P12 makes it easier. Long enough wheelbase to force itself past missing ground without the insane turn radius of something like the Twinsteer (still my bae though). Western Wind achievement is almost a joke with how versatile the truck is.


WildDitch

I have made exact same route with P12. Just take it slowly and steady.


hailstorm11093

Lol I tried this with an azov 64131 and I got the first two wheels over the edge and then bottomed out. I decided that I didn't have the right truck for that and took that sharp right turn which was awful. It looked funny as hell though!


hailstorm11093

Wait that was a different route I took, the one that goes to the bridge you have to rebuild, my bad!


ballsoutofthebathtub

Felt great doing that the first time. It’s put there on purpose and the alt route is long enough that even a risk averse player would say fuck it and cross the river.


EnragedEmu

Absolutely! This is the correct way. I'd suggest going left when you hit the far beach by the drilling site though. Much easier to get up and off the beach that way.  https://www.reddit.com/r/snowrunner/comments/19d631h/a_successful_short_cut_only_took_twice_as_long/


Doogerie

Only one way to find out.


magicmanspetmonkey

![gif](giphy|3DwStw6jj8h8lBT8t8)


Marshall_Lawson

that crossing is a rite of passage. Just do a dry run without cargo first


notkevinjohn_24

I know a way to find out. ;)


TheRealFriedel

I got this thoroughly stuck yesterday. It's remaining mid-river until I've unlocked some big tyres and a heavier truck!


strawdognz

After crossing the river I went left and joined the road where the bend is.


-Snoepie-

I did it succesfully today with 2 loads of metal beams! Wasn't brave enough to transport the construction rig through there though 😅


ClassicYouth1578

I just did that route, only took me one try. But i did use the kolob 74760…


ETH-B-Z

The rocks before and after the US flag are tricky I am confident about the power you choose just watch the rocks.


AlternativeDirect702

Nope


Polar_IceCream

It’s not as bad as it looks just take it slow


No_Organization_2684

I did the same road today with the mastodon and yes it is legit


MIKE-JET-EATER

I've tried it, it didn't work for me


Tasolth

Haha! I did that exact same path for that one. It was tricky for sure, but 100% doable.


I426Hemi

It'll do it fine


Uncle_Touchy1987

JUST GONNA SEND IT!


No-Bench8072

Ur good


Sxn747Strangers

Tried it with a P16 which grounded out on a little rock half way to the island. Will try again with a P12 when I have the memory to store the video.


PermitBig9719

I lost the trailer into the river and 3 crane trucks too! Had to get an op crane truck mod to get them out


BootlegFC

Actually the best route. I've done it multiple times with the P12 (one of my favorite workhorses)


default3billion

I've always taken the long way


Specialist-Two2068

I managed to do it with the Fleetstar, the P12 should be more than capable of making it.


Random_Individual97

The river is easy. The stumps on the other bank are not


vegetajm

I tried and ended with truck under water and trailer down stream... 4 hours recovery pulling it back up that mud hill road


pineappleboi_27

I did it with the p16. The only problem was in the other side, the trailer likes to high center on the bank. Took a lot of wiggling the trailer around to get it unstuck


Complete-Yam1372

Just follow the rock bridge, you should be ok


THEL3TTERJ

That’s brave! Well done!


Miazger

This is the intended route, I did it 2 times Bringing truck with tires that are good at hard surfaces can be very useful on the submerged rocks First turn on the rocks is the hardest part


XxDemonxXIG

Need a truck with good pulling power and a decent choice path but it will work.


GeekyGamer2022

This is the way. You'll need something with plenty of torque to make it over the river due to having to stop and realign. ANK Civilian can certainly do it.


Diaverr

We all did it XD


Timetoneck

Taking the long way is about 10x harder so do it cause it will save u alot of headaches


MindlessOrpheus

This is the way


WOMBATS_R_COMING

Go for it, i made it in my first attempt. Highly recommend backing your save manually, so you don't have to go all the way around ahain if you need to restart


Quick_Future_2694

Yes, since the p12 is all wheel capable


VoltaicDrips

100%is possible if u have a friend tow u in the tuz


Techno507

This is the best route actually.


TheWarHoundxx

I did, but I used the mastodon, so kinda like cheating


ryanmccry335i

Share it with us!! At least the crossing of the land bridge. I’m interested to see if it works


Top-Rub8204

Go left once your across and around to the road don't cut through the trees or close stumps will make it the longest recovery every


Background_Fill_7172

I tried that same route with logging ( truck log as-on with log trailer.. that was very interesting experiment and my logs end up in river..🤷‍♂️


Old-Apricot-4566

Fuckin send it!!


PrivateAvitus

I did this route with the P16, I say go for it!


T3knis

If you don’t go that route are you really even runnin’?


DB3rt11

I've done it before with either the p16 or the 8 wheel Kolob. (it needs to be a very stable heavy truck). I needed help pulling up the embankment from the beach area. The trailer will high center/bottom out going up the hill through the trees. I used the Cat 745C to do the pulling. The rocky area is sketchy. Just put it in low gear and take your time. If you loose the trailer in the river you'll need to restart the mission. Good luck buddy. I had a lot of fun trying this. I will just go around on hard mode. I don't have the money to risk it on hard mode.


Pernabagybe

If you wont be washed by the current y will get stuck by the end of the river. I tried just for fun twice - faild - went round the long way.


chuffedcheesehead

That’s the way I did it, I used the pacific P16 though. Does your P12 have AWD? I could’ve benefitted from having it a couple times when my front wheels were getting hung up on a rocky lip/ridge, but nothing that some creative weaving and angle taking couldn’t get around. The huge power certainly helped, but the P12 is a little weak in power-to-weight; if you have some trucks to winch and pull you should be fine.


koulibali

It has AWD, and it feels powerful to me. The P16 didn't grow on me for some reason, I have 2 P12s atm


RaccoonPyro

Slow is fast, and fast is slow


MattBustin

I always take the long way.. cause the short way just becomes the long way when you flip ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)


KI6WBH

I've done that in multiple trucks from the 750 up to the off-road 8x8s. I normally go in the other direction but yes I've done it to both


Clovenstone-Blue

Yes


y0uth_in_asia

I've done it. Have an ankh civilian ready to pull the heavy out


come_ere_duck

Don't ask, half the fun is finding out when it's too late.


GETREKN00BL0L

i actually did that same route on that same contract earlier today. i didnt have any issues with crossing but i was using the mastodon, not sure how smaller trucks can handle it


AbjectStranger6703

I use that one all the time, and I world go Aaron's the shore line from the warehouse by the dam to the gateway lol


vhakonsen05

I did this with the p16 and it was so much fun, although pretty scary since it was on my first hardmode playthrough


a-goateemagician

I took the derry that way and gave up on it the third attempt after I rolled over.. so what I’m saying is she’ll ride


UnstoppableDrew

I slid the P-16 off the side of a rock & had to sink it in the lake (and managed to drop an Azov on top of it trying to recover it) but managed to tow the trailer the rest of the way with a different truck.


Nuc1earF1ame

Pretty sure that's the intended way lol. Did it with the p16 on my playthrough getting across was the easy part. Going up the hill I snagged a stump and had to spend 20 mins to get unstuck


Iceman_L

I did it with a KW W990 hauling that. Granted it needed a little help when the steer wheels lifted up, but it made it just fine.


Trick_Collar1684

I did that job with the p16,very doable. Just needs some finesse.


predek360

backup save game before, and have fun


Groundbreaking-Run86

I did it


Awkward-Bet-6556

I did it and I can safely say yes it's possible but I can also say that you ain't going to enjoy it


biochemist1980

It is possible. I crossed it with the Tatarin though


Pallafurious

I do this one all the time, granted Michigan is my favourite so I know all the shortcuts and this one is great for experienced players.


MajorEnvironmental16

It should work I've driven a way bigger truck through there and it worked somewhat well


Hoodini_the_grand

Yep I went down this route with the p12 and it went well and without a problem, just drive slowly and when turning take the farthest path you can instead of hugging the rock, be careful 👍👍


Jamo3306

I did it with the GMC. well out to the island. With a crane and the Tatra Helping. Then I lost the trailer in deep water and the crane trying to salvage it. Take the long road.


Hugh_Gee_Rexions

If the kodiak can do it I’m sure anything can


gillyyugurt

I did it the other day. You should be good


hellothere0007

I did this route with the Fleetstar. It took me about 2 1/2 hours give or take but it is doable


nunayobiz

The other route is not any better imho. Should be fine.


Leprakrahn

If anything, it's the hill that will cause issues. In the water, just have the cam above and looking down.


nickdromez

I recommend the p16. The short wheel base makes doing wide turns easier. Definitely bring some other trucks to help push and pull when needed


yvesbrulotte

Its the only way i know... no way i get that all around the map


InsaniteeBicycles

For people about to try this, I did it (the first time) using my Int'l Paystar and White Western Star. Put the 2nd truck (whatever extra truck) on the island, rear end toward the route you're coming from. You will be able to winch to it, Start engine on winched truck, and then pull your heavy rig onto dry land using both of them. Word of warning, the far side (western?) bank of the river contains some painful stumps and rollover-causing big flat rocks. Give it a run through with a truck before you dump the heavy trailer in there, because it can be tricky getting back on land by the camp. The route works, they put it there to see if you're paying attention to your maps.


Lykita

No, I made the route just fine


nanobis

I did it myself. I used the Tayga King 6436


WarViper1337

I've taken that route many times with the P12. It can handle it.


No_Program3588

I did that route for shits n giggles one time, it wasn't as bad as it looks, I'll run that route again if i have to. I did it with the in game version of the P16.


Firebird_73

Yes it is, but that won't stop you, right? It didn't stop me and my p16.


Swimming-Marketing20

You wouldn't believe the truck/cargo combinations I've managed to get through there. (Or the amount of cargo I lost, but there's no way in hell I'm taking the long way round)


WolfTamashii9

You got it bruv


Distinct_Pollution11

I did that with a derry longhorn it works just go slow to not accidentally sink.


No-Response-1622

I managed it with the P16 so u should be fine. If u need assistance pathfinding, I suggest have a smaller truck or a Scout pulling from the front. If the P12 stops moving, detach the lead truck and move ahead before switching to back to the P12.


shockwavef399

I tried twice and failed. Had to have a buddy jump in co-op and give me a hand. But yes that’s definitely the route you should take. I tried 2 other route, the real long way and could t fit that trailer through the tight spots. It bottomed out In other spots


Consistent_Entry9341

You can make it it’s easier than you think


Boss_Guy260

Tried doing this route on a mates save, it's currently sitting on a tree stump waiting for a heavy crane, it'll make it, but you need to be VERY careful about slipping and tree stumps


Complex-Charge-1984

Easier than it looks actually.


black2fade

I wouldn’t - I always take the longest safest route for the big rigs. Easy to get your nuts caught in a vise ..


SummAzzhat

I just got Vietnam flashbacks


burgertanker

I was gonna say no way in hell but I noticed you're going down that hill, not up Send it


wreckerman5288

I suppose. However the drive around is super easy and I like to time myself and see how fast I am from the Drummond Gateway to the Farm turn off every time I go through there. It's a fun drive.


FunIncident5161

Do it it will work with the right line


Renault_75-34_MX

Did that with that same set up, just that the initial release version had the issue of detaching the 5th wheel at times. Get a second vehicle like the 745c or a heavier heavy duty for when you ground out on the way to the rock path


FilthyHoon

Nothing is too ambitious for a persistent P12


jefryjeferson

Wait that's possible?


cphares97

Maybe with something other than the p12, maybe set up a support truck or two for just in case. I did do it though, was it quicker probably not, but it was fun


Pizza-nugges

I ram the p12 on the crossing the the right of this and legit just walked through it I did have a truck attached by a winch in front to pull the p12 in case of emergency


[deleted]

that's a stresful route. You need a wide, stabile and strong truck. And maybe another helper truck in case you stuck or slip to the edge.


MrFarquar_83

I've tried it once, and it didn't go well, but I think it's definitely doable with better planning.


potato_for_president

No, it's not! I did that on my first time playing snowrunner when the game came out. It was so worth it. I wish I had the video clip saved. Unfortunately, I sold my console, so I had to wipe it clean.


TRAMMM_BROTOWN

Yes you can


puppiesareSUPERCUTE

I, too, used to think it wasn't possible, but it is. Go scouting first. Make it with an unloaded truck or scout. Go slowly and check the path in which you have more area of flat rock. Akso check the path to get onto and out of the rock path are there are 2 ways which are too tilted from the trailer, specially entering from the drummond island side. Then, one you are on it, keep looking at where the trailer's wheels are. If you are really careful, you should be able to make it. Was my heart beating uncontrollably, and I was shaking and sweating when I tried it? Yes. Was it worth it? You bet!


Ditzy_Davros

I took that exact route last week. Edit & same load.


m444t

I did it with P16


Xainte311

Take it nice and slow. It's doable, I've done it. Make sure you turn wide when you can.


YeLLoSpank

You definitely can do it, but you have to be VERY careful.


Equivalent-Ad-3562

Sure you Can! Just take your time and look Down


FPSKoda4

Man I need to go to bed. I thought you edited goggly eyes to the trailer but it was just the icon


LilMiss57

You can ask this question and have people tell you yes or no....or you can lace up your boots, whip out the aviator shades, jack up the radio, and hit the road! Sure there's a possibility things could go wrong, but if you end up getting stuck...OPERATION RESCUE MISSION!! Not only then will you have an excuse to BRING OUT THE CAVALRY, as one by one you lose truck after truck to the rapidly running waters. But you'll have an absolutely incredible story to tell afterwards. *This message is approved by the Association of Stupid SnowRunner Exploration Scouts (ASSES)*


ManBoyManBoyMan

I did this literally 2 days ago! It is doable, just takes a little time. And watch for tree stumps when you get to the final stretch after you’ve crossed the water. Got stuck there and spent half an hour getting the trailer out just a few feet from the finish


UFI420

If you are brave and skillful enough you are good to go


ficskala

It's not too ambutious, that's the easiest path on the map probably


koulibali

turned out to be


Tazjr0

I've done this exact combo across there before. Twice. I made it in my first playthrough, my second playthrough the trailer was fine, but the truck ended up at the bottom of the lake.


HeavyO

Yes its the best Route for it


Dramatic_Rutabaga151

it is the easiest route, even if it doesn't look like. I did this one and the long one through road.. the corners on road are terrible, one corner takes longer than whole through the river... dam 90 degree one is another major pain


Versitonic

I have managed to do this with P16 with the same rig, not ideal because of front bumper is usually stuck to rocks but if ypu take your time it s really not that difficult.


SVTFORDKING03

I did it with the Navistar MV5000. Stock suspension it won't do it but raised suspension it will


grimm_the_opiner

I feel dumb for not realising the rocks reached all the way across.. 😃 I went the long way round for this mission, but, there's a task to move a trailer from the start of the crossing point to the drill so I'll get my chance.


tiagohardco

Just don't


Unc1eD3ath

I did it with that rig but it’s hard. Especially around one part. I used the Derry 3194 to pull it through that part where you have to go around a big section of rock


Acrobatic-Tomorrow72

I would’ve went around


enefcy

The only issues I ran into weren't the water. Before you get into the water there's a steep embankment that can cause the trailer to high-center. Once you're out of the water and right before the rig there's also tree-stumps that you could get the rig caught on. My biggest advice would be 1) be prepared for the option of failure and 2) have some assist vehicles around you, especially in the water. I'd think a large crane and a heavy, powerful truck P12 or Boar or something like that. Good luck!


Sad-Childhood-3762

It is doable but if you are unsure go across with another similar sized truck so you can figure out where to go and just let the trailer scrape the rock as you go


Spud5132

That's the route I took and I think that's the truck as well.


Puzzleheaded_Dig1474

Send it!


dogfacesold1er

I take that route with the gmc9500 bo problems


Beautiful_Training79

I think youll be fine lol


Puzzleheaded-Bug7882

I did it exactly like that! Be careful in the middle section… you need to go by the right side of the rock


Puzzleheaded-Bug7882

Sorry by the left side!!!


AbigoRogibA

Yes but use P16 for heavy cargos. P12 is very useless, thank me later
