01 / THE GUIDE
Career Mode
The career mode guides you through a series of racing events where you must balance competition with vehicle upkeep. You work your way through the career mode by taking part in these racing events.
Progression relies on buying, repairing, and tuning cars, as well as stockpiling spare parts for future challenges. Managing limited trunk space becomes a strategic element throughout the career.
- Consider keeping a variety of parts on hand to handle unexpected repairs.
- Plan your trunk loadout before each race to avoid over‑packing.

Garage Repair (First‑Person)
In garage repair you work in a first‑person view to restore and tune your project car. The mode emphasizes hands‑on interaction with tools and parts.
Repair tasks are essential for keeping your vehicle race‑ready, and the first‑person perspective adds immersion to the maintenance process.
- Familiarize yourself with the tool layout to speed up repairs.
- Use the first‑person view to inspect your car closely before fixing.

Local Split‑Screen Multiplayer
BeaterCore supports split‑screen play for up to four players on the same display, allowing friends to race side‑by‑side. This mode uses the same resource management as single‑player.
Keyboard controls are fully supported, ensuring that multiple participants can compete without needing additional hardware.
- Arrange seating so each player can see their portion of the screen clearly.
- Allocate trunk space wisely when racing together to avoid conflicts.

- Keep spare parts ready for quick post‑race repairs.
