A complete beginner's guide for Roblox Mad Road

Gameplay overview

You spawn in a central lobby area where you can access the garage, car shop, supply store, and meet other players. Once you are ready, hop on any of the open lobbies of up to four players and wait for a few seconds. Your default melee weapon is a slow but powerful close-ranged axe.

Each session is about survival and loot collection. The goal is to gather resources, defeat enemies, and evacuate successfully via a helicopter. You start with an inventory capacity of 15, which you can upgrade by buying Bags; we highly recommend these as one of the first things to purchase once you've collected some money.

When the match starts, take your time to prepare your vehicle the way you want, and make sure to fill it with a lot of fuel. Then, simply follow the green arrow at the top of the screen to find the evacuation point. If you are out of fuel or your tires are damaged, exit your vehicle, eliminate the zombies and animals you see, and gather resources from nearby houses.

While the game doesn’t feature crafting in the traditional sense, resource management is crucial. Bag upgrades, inventory sorting, and healing items will decide your survival. Keep exploring nearby houses for Medical Kits, ammo, and valuables like Statues. To buy new items, you need to make money, which can be earned by finding ground loot or selling items to the Recycling Shop.
