Limited slip differentials(LSDs) allow each wheel to rotate at different speeds while ensuring each wheel is able to maintain power and prevent slippage.

Switchable diff locks function very similarly to true differential locks that lock both wheels together for equal traction while always on differential locks function like limited slip differentials. Trucks like the Ford CLT9000 or the Transtar 4070A cannot have diff lock at all, some trucks like the GMC MH9500 can have their Diff Lock found in the world which can then be used and some trucks like the Voron AE-4380 have their diff lock always on.Īlways on Differential locks have a noticeable difference in their behavior when compared to switchable diff locks.

SnowRunner introduces the ability for certain trucks to get Diff lock. This does however make their on road performance worse than a truck which can turn it off. Some trucks like the K-700 and B-66 have their diff lock always on which provides the benefit of being able to use diff lock in automatic mode as well as not taking damage on hard surfaces on hardcore. Some Trucks like the C-65115 do not have diff lock and is more suited to paved roads and trails rather then mud.

The disadvantage is that handling is worse since the tires cannot rotate freely and on Hardcore, keeping diff lock on on hard surfaces damages the truck. Diff lock causes all driven wheels to rotate at the same speed which greatly increase traction on hills and mud. Lock in-game) is a gameplay mechanic in Spintires, MudRunner, and SnowRunner.ĭiff lock is activated by a single button except in Hardcore where diff locking is unavailable in automatic mode. ST and MR are not focused in that.Differential Locking (shortened to Diff. So definitely if you like career, leveling up and getting xp you should pick SR. I just had the feeling that SR focused too much on the progression side of things and forgot to bring the small good things from earlier games. ST and MR are more honest mud simulation games. Do stuff to get more levels and equipment etc. I'm not a fan of the progression based gameplay SR and so many other games have. Bad gear box, mud physics sucked compared to previous games, then again I didn't get to the point to get better tires.

I've played snowrunner a couple of hours but it didn't convince me. Not that weird jumping to 1st gear like in SR and MR.īoth ST and MR have awesome mods available. Then again gearbox auto transmission works better in ST. Camera sucks tho if you are a controller player like me. I think its mud physics are better and challenging. If you like more of a challenge pick Spintires. Thanks! Of those 2 I would pick Mudrunner. Originally posted by AkDankish47:What is the difference? Is one better than the other? Which one has a better career mode?
