D.R.I.V.E. System Guide – Unlock, Customize, and Master Your G-99 Breakneck
The D.R.I.V.E. system in The War Within introduces a new way to navigate through Undermine, bringing dynamic driving mechanics, customization options, and missions.
What is the D.R.I.V.E System?
D.R.I.V.E. System (Dynamic and Revolutionary Improvements to Vehicular Experiences) is a special feature first added in Patch 11.0 that includes:
- The G-99 Breakneck kart — a quick new ground mount.
- Dynamic driving mechanics like turbo, drifting, and job tasks.
- Customization for your kart's color, engine, wheels, turbo, and horn.
How Do You Unlock Your G-99 Breakneck?
Progress through Chapter 2 of the Undermine Campaign. Begin the No More Walkin' Here quest at the Incontinental Hotel. Follow up with License Not Required offered by Nanny Talullah, which teaches you how to drive, boost, and handle shipping tasks. Completing these intro quests will award you the G-99 Breakneck mount.
Account-Wide Access
Once you finish the questline on your main, every alt on your account will automatically gain access to the G-99 Breakneck in Undermine.
Does the G-99 Breakneck Work Exclusively in Undermine?
Yes, the G-99 Breakneck only works in Undermine. However, this is Blizzard's first dynamic ground mount, so chances are it will work in other zones in the future, just like Skyriding.
G-99 Breakneck Driving Mechanics
When you hop in the G-99 Breakneck, you will see a new vehicle bar with the following action buttons:
- Boost (Key 1): Spend Turbo for an extra burst of speed.
- Start Job (Key 5): Start or cancel a Shipping and Handling task.
- Eject! (Key 6) Dismount button.
Turbo and Drifting
You start with 100 Turbo. Boost uses some Turbo and make you go extra fast for a short time. Turbo does not regenerate automatically. You refill it by drifting (holding Spacebar). Drifting helps you take sharper turns.
Customizing Your G-99 Breakneck
To customize your mount, visit Mobber located at the below location.
The following customization options are available for the G-99 Breakneck:
