Current Official Baseline
| Confirmed point | Guide impact |
|---|---|
| PS5 launched on June 26, 2025, and Kojima Productions announced PC for March 19, 2026 | Platform, settings, update, and returning-player pages need separate checks |
| The journey moves into Australia with day/night cycles, earthquakes, sandstorms, forest fires, and Timefall | Route pages must read terrain and weather before optimizing speed |
| The Social Strand System returns | Structures, signs, likes, and shared route value deserve their own guide lane |
| March 2026 adds To The Wilder, VR Training, Photo Mode additions, Chiral Feline, and Link fieldware | Returning players should check update changes before following old habits |
Quick Decision Table
| Situation | Do first | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Before departure | Check cargo weight, destination, weather, and return points | Accepting the job based only on shortest distance |
| Already on route | Protect cargo condition before deciding to fight or detour | Forcing a risky shortcut for a small time gain |
| Repeated failure | Record the failure point and change structure, vehicle, or backup tools | Repeating the same loadout without a route change |
| Need motion help | Use the video hub for movement, combat, or placement timing | Treating a trailer shot as a full route solution |

Common Mistakes
