We have prepared various starting tips for RAGE 2. Thanks to them, you will have an easier start.
Arks are crucial to your development - they are special objects where you can find weapons, resources, and acquire new skills. Explore the map and look for these locations to strengthen your character.
Develop your vehicle - the majority of the fights in RAGE 2 can be done without leaving the vehicle. Develop your vehicle in such a way that would make you ready for all kinds of fights.
Learn to use skills - your Nanotrite skills will save your live on multiple occasions. Train in open spaces. After that, remember to use them during fights.
Develop your character before you start a mission - the map is full of various side activities. Discover them during the exploration and try to complete them all. Thanks to them, you will get a lot of resources and new abilities.
Why can't I add a new car to the garage?
The game may not allow you to take such a step if the delivered car is the property of another person who is not an opponent. These include vehicles in cities or other places where friendly people reside. You can travel around with the cars found in this way, but the game will not allow you to put them in the garage, so that they may become the property of the protagonist. To add your car in the garage you need to find an abandoned vehicle in the game world.
Are there dogs in the game world?
Yes, but not exactly. You may encounter mutant dogs, and in such situations you have to defeat them. Unfortunately, there are no natural dogs so you don't have any option to pat or caress such animals.

Does Rage 2 have photo mode?
Yes, the game does have a Photo Mode. Pause the game and select the right option. You can choose from various settings and filters - use them to modify your photo before you save it.
Does Rage 2 have a character creator?
No, the game doesn't offer a character creator. However, you can choose the gender of your character. This decision is purely cosmetic - it doesn't affect, e.g. solutions of some quests. Rage 2 also has the option to customize the appearance of your vehicle and weapons. Some skins are available right from the beginning while others must be unlocked or purchased (they cost quite a lot).
Can you save in Rage 2?
Yes, Rage 2 has the option to save the game manually. Besides them, the game also creates automatic saves.
Open the pause menu to save the game manually. Remember, if you are in the middle of a story mission, the game will save your progress done until the last checkpoint. This limitation doesn't affect free exploration. When you load a save, you will start the game in the same place where you have stopped playing last time.
Does Rage 2 have multiplayer?
No, Rage 2 is focused only on the single-player mode. There are no online modes nor co-operation.
Can I start exploring the world right away?
Yes but you have to complete the prologue first - the first story mission called The Ranger. By completing this mission you get a vehicle called Phoenix. From now on you can travel around the world. Pay attention to levels displayed whenever you enter a location. Places that have 5-10 difficulty level can be very challenging for beginners.
Why can't I open the world map?
The world map can be accessed after the prologue - The Ranger mission. Don't worry that you can open it - the entire prologue takes place in a single location. You won't get lost.
Is Junk useful for anything in the game?
No, Junk can only be sold. You can do that by visiting any of the vendors. Speak to a merchant and open the tab in which you can choose items from your inventory. The best way to sell junk is to sell them in bulk (20 pieces).
Don't sell other items found during explorations, e.g. various components. They are useful in crafting. The only exception is when your inventory is full.
Does Rage 2 have Denuvo?
No, Denuvo has been removed by the developers. However, it was present in day one version. You don't have to worry that you will get fps drops or long loading times caused by this anti-tamper technology.
