About Wreckfest 2

Wreckfest 2 thrusts players into full‑contact racing where the only rule is to smash everything in sight. Bugbear rebuilt the physics engine for modern hardware, delivering unprecedented crash fidelity and component damage.

Early Access launches with Racing, Derby and multiplayer, while more tracks, customization options and a career mode will arrive over time. Expect chaotic circuits, jumps, oncoming traffic and a thriving mod community.

01 / THE GUIDE

Physics and Damage

The rebuilt engine powers higher crash fidelity and a detailed component damage system, making every impact feel weighty and unique.

Vehicles react realistically to collisions, with visible deformation that influences handling for the remainder of a race.

  • Watch how damage alters handling after each hit.
  • Test different impact angles to see varied deformation.

02 / THE GUIDE

Game Modes

Racing pits you against opponents on high‑speed circuits, crazy courses with obstacles, jumps, intersections and oncoming traffic, encouraging aggressive head‑to‑head battles.

Derby mode shifts focus to demolition, letting players aim for pure destruction rather than lap times.

  • Mix aggressive driving with strategic positioning.
  • Use jumps to gain momentum before contact.

Vehicles and Customization

All cars start as old, dented, patched‑together machines, each bearing a visual story of past crashes.

Early Access will gradually add customization options, including new armor and component types that support varied playstyles, with future sharing capabilities.

  • Combine armor types to match your aggression level.
  • Balance visual flair with functional upgrades.

04 / THE GUIDE

Career and Progression

A revamped career mode will be introduced during Early Access, adapting to your individual playstyle and guiding you toward champion status.

The career system promises tailored challenges and progression paths, ensuring each player's journey feels personal.

  • Follow career prompts to discover new challenges.
  • Adjust your tactics as the mode tailors difficulty.

Online Features

Online play will feature a skill‑based matchmaking system and server queues, pairing racers of similar ability for fair competition.

Special challenges put unconventional vehicles behind the wheel, while mod support via the Steam Workshop lets the community add fresh content.

  • Try challenges to test oddball vehicle handling.
  • Browse Workshop mods for new tracks and cars.
