How to finish the Horsing Around game mode

Once you enter the Horsing Around game mode, you will spawn as a horse and begin with a shovel. You can perform all the basic actions that will help you survive. The goal is to follow the train track and reach the 80-kilometer mark.

Below, we’ve outlined some tips to help you achieve this goal, complete the mode, and unlock the Horse Class:

• Sell the gold bar to get yourself a good weapon, like a Shotgun. You can purchase it from the Gunsmith.
• Obtain some armor to protect yourself during a fight.
• When facing Outlaws, you can decide to either engage or escape. The fight will be difficult but rewarding.
• Being a horse, you will be able to outrun most dangers. However, keep an eye out for Werewolves since they can catch up to you.
• If it's a Blood Moon, you will face Vampires. Fortunately, they are easy to deal with since they spawn in front of you. Simply sidestep to dodge their attacks and keep moving.
• During a Full Moon, you will come across Werewolves. Since you cannot outrun them, you must be smart during the confrontation. Maintain distance and use your weapon to damage them.
• When dealing with Runner Zombies during a New Moon, follow the same strategy. Maintain distance while attacking them.
• If you're outside during a lightning storm, immediately find shelter or use a lightning rod.

How to equip the Horse Class in the game

Now that you know how to unlock the Horse Class, it's time to equip it. When you're in the main lobby, head to the Tailor and select Horse from the available Class options.

The Horse Class provides increased movement speed, but it’s still outmatched by Vampires in this regard. Since you’ll start the game with a shovel but won’t automatically regenerate health, it’s essential to carry items that do during your journey.

When using the Horse Class, you can equip a Saddle that allows your teammate to sit and ride on top of you. You can also attach a cart, making it easier to collect and transport various items throughout the game.
