Deluge Map from Spintires MudRunner and how to drive through it.
Last update: 11 December 2017
Deluge is the most challenging map out of all currently available scenarios. The entire map consists of one giant lake and a swamp. What is more, your starting position is right next to a lumber mill but you don't have access to a garage! You have to unlock it; the garage is on the opposite end of the map. As a consolation, you have to deliver timber to only one lumber mill and the log station is rather close to you, although you still have to cross the river.
Although you start without an access to a garage, your vehicles are automatically equipped with add-ons with garage points and you can use two trailers. Each is worth two garage points which means that one vehicle with a trailer or a convoy made out of two trucks should reach the garage. There is no point in using Class A vehicles because they won't be able to deal with the river's current. You definitely have to choose D-535 because it is a perfect vehicle for an environment like that. It can carry 3 log points on its add-on and tow a trailer with 3 log points. Also, there is E-7310 on the map which can deal with all kinds of terrains. Its location is the small buildings between the log station and the garage in the north-central part of the map (a green exclamation mark icon). You should get that vehicle because it will make this map easier for you.
The key to success on this map is do cross the river. Its bottom is very deep in many places which means that you can quickly damage and destroy your engine. In other places you can drive on stones that can block your wheels or make you unable to drive forward because of a terrain difference. Current is stronger in some places. The best way is to move straight to the watch point located on the shore of the southern island. Now, follow the blue path. Drive into the water near the tower and head to the nearest island. The depth should be optimal for the most part. Then, head to the second island and then turn towards the shore. This path is the shortest and the easiest way to cross the river.
Driving in Class D and E vehicles isn't challenging here. Better vehicles from Class C also shouldn't have problems with dealing with muddy roads that are between the garage and the log station. Follow the orange path to reach the garage quickly. When you are half-way, you can go north and unlock E-7310. Change your vehicle and remember to refuel because D-535/K-700/E-7310 consume a lot of fuel. You can also leave a full cistern near the log station - your vehicle can refuel before you cross the river. Follow the blue path again so you can return on the starting island without any problems. The south part of the map isn't as challenging. Watch out for stones and boggy terrain before you reach asphalt roads. Leave the sand road and tiled ground and head straight to the lumber mill. This completes the last mission in the game.
