Plan your next Gear Up session
Our independent guide dives deeper into Gear Up’s customization, modes and technical features, offering observations that help players refine their builds and adapt to each match type. By comparing common setups and highlighting subtle physics quirks, you’ll gain a clearer sense of what works best in various scenarios.
01 / THE GUIDE
Propulsion Comparison
Run short test rounds using tracks, wind turbines and go‑kart tires. Note acceleration, turning radius and stability, then match the results to the demands of Deathmatch versus Conquest.
- Start with a balanced propulsion and weapon mix before adding exotic parts.
- Use the leaderboard to see which combinations perform well in each mode.
02 / THE GUIDE
Weapon Synergy
Pair a minigun with proximity mines in a team match. Observe how continuous fire suppresses enemies while mines control space, then adjust timing for optimal coverage.
- In Conquest, prioritize speed to capture points quickly.
- Team Deathmatch benefits from complementary roles among teammates.
03 / THE GUIDE
Defensive vs Offensive Builds
Construct one heavily armored tank with a bronze cannon and another lightweight vehicle with a tesla generator. Play both in the same mode to see how survivability balances against mobility.
- Check the leaderboards to gauge the current meta builds.
- Earn achievements to unlock visual badges for your profile.
04 / THE GUIDE
Cross‑Platform Play Testing
Invite friends on different operating systems to a private lobby. Check for any latency or control differences, especially when using partial controller support.
- Test different propulsion types in a private match to learn their handling.
- Observe how mines react to movement for optimal placement.
05 / THE GUIDE
Achievement Hunting
Review the list of Steam achievements, select a few that align with your preferred playstyle, and focus on completing them in successive matches.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep your custom builds synced across devices.
- Use partial controller support if you prefer gamepad input for driving.
