RLS Career Overhaul: Pepper Valley | v2.2.2 | Big Refresh (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

Pepper Valley now includes:

14 purchasable properties, plus your starter garage

4 dealerships

34 Free Roam Events

42 off-road recovery locations

2 bus routes

5 car-meet locations

4 Travel Journal landmarks

A Bigger Career Playground

Pepper Valley transforms Johnson Valley into a connected career map built around trucking, racing, drifting, vehicle ownership, public-service work, and desert exploration.

The paved highway loop remains the backbone of the map, but the refresh fills it with more destinations and meaningful career progression.

New Logistics Hubs

Two major import and export hubs have been constructed at opposite ends of the valley.

Players can now take on more parcel, material, and trailer deliveries, with improved loading areas and better access for large commercial vehicles. Remote supply runs also send you away from the highway and into the roughest parts of Pepper Valley.

Delivery parking, trailer spawning, hub entrances, and GPS routing have all been improved to make logistics work more reliable.

More Properties to Own

Eight new career properties have been added during the refresh:

Four affordable Base Camp RV properties

Sandy Cabin

Lonely Home

Desert Villa

Pepper Valley Recovery Yard

There are now 15 career garage properties in total, including the starter garage, with prices and vehicle capacities covering everything from a basic desert camper to the eight-vehicle Desert Villa.

Garage pricing has also been rebalanced to create a more natural progression through the valley.

New Dealerships

Pepper Valley now has four physical dealerships.

The refresh adds:

Commercial Imports, specializing in trucks, commercial vehicles, trailers, and specialty equipment

Pepper Valley Drift Dealership, offering purpose-built drift and race cars

These join the existing Tyrannos and Estrada dealerships, giving players more choices when building fleets for different careers.

Pepper Valley Dakar

The refresh introduces a new standalone Dakar experience built specifically for Pepper Valley.

Choose from four vehicle classes—SSV, Raid, Heavy, and Unlimited—and tackle dynamically generated routes across the desert. Different classes receive different route lengths and checkpoint requirements.

Optional repair kits can save a damaged run, but each use adds a time penalty. Finish times determine placement bonuses, while long-term accolades reward wins, class completions, repair-free finishes, and Dakar mastery.

Expanded Activities

There are now 34 Free Roam Events across the map, including:

Eight Formula Drift-inspired courses

Airport Drift Loop

Salt Flats Top Speed Run

Functional drag strip

Autocross

Bus, Recovery, and Exploration Gameplay

Career bus gameplay now includes the Central Loop and Outer Loop, along with three Pepper Valley bus loaners designed for different progression levels.

The new Recovery Yard supports vehicle storage and recovery gameplay, while 42 recovery locations can send capable off-road vehicles deep into the dunes, mountains, trails, and rocky basins.

Four Travel Journal landmarks have also been added:
