RLS Career Overhaul: Pepper Valley | v2.2.3 | Big Refresh (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

We’ve been busy with Pepper Valley. There’s more work to take on, more places to own, and plenty to do once you park the delivery truck for the day.

The refresh expands the career side of the map with new homes, dealerships, logistics hubs, and a dedicated Dakar experience. We’ve also spent time sorting out the roads, loading areas, and awkward spots that can make life difficult when you’re driving something bigger than a pickup.

Here’s what’s included:

14 purchasable properties, plus your starter garage

4 dealerships

34 Free Roam Events

42 off-road recovery locations

2 bus routes, with 3 bus loaners

5 car-meet locations

4 Travel Journal landmarks

2 major import and export hubs

Pepper Valley Dakar, with 4 vehicle classes

Get to Work

The two import and export hubs give you a base for hauling parcels, materials, and trailers across the valley. If you prefer getting off the pavement, remote supply runs will take you out into the desert, where choosing the right vehicle matters.

We’ve increased delivery availability at both hubs, AJ’s Parts Supply, the Main Remote Pit, Salt Flat Supplies, and the Offroad Supply Point, giving you more jobs to choose from.

The hubs have had another round of changes to make getting in, loading up, and getting back on the road easier. Delivery spaces have been resized and repositioned, duplicate interaction points have been removed, and new arrows and road markings help you find your way around.

We’ve also adjusted the weighbridges to help stop truck fuel tanks and trailer legs catching on the edges.

Find Your Place in the Valley

There are 15 garage properties in total, including your starter garage. You can start small, save for somewhere with more room, or work your way up to the eight-vehicle Desert Villa.

The refresh adds eight purchasable properties:

Four Base Camp RV properties

Sandy Cabin

Lonely Home

Desert Villa

Pepper Valley Recovery Yard

Property prices have been rebalanced to give you more options as your career grows.

For anyone bringing trailers home, the Desert Villa’s driveway entrance and fencing have been adjusted to make the trip up easier. The nearby crawling trail is accessible through the fence again, too.

We’ve also expanded the garage service area at Uncle’s House, so trucks spawning there won’t need to be shuffled around before you can repair or modify them.

Build Your Fleet

Four dealerships cover everything from your next daily driver to something built for work or a weekend at the track.

Tyrannos and Estrada are joined by:

Commercial Imports — trucks, commercial vehicles, trailers, and specialty equipment

Pepper Valley Drift Dealership — purpose-built drift and race cars

Commercial Imports has also had its vehicle selection adjusted to offer a better mix of work vehicles.

Take on Pepper Valley Dakar

Pick your class, head into the desert, and see if you can bring it home.

Pepper Valley Dakar has four classes: SSV, Raid, Heavy, and Unlimited. Routes are generated dynamically, with different lengths and checkpoint requirements depending on your class.

You can take optional repair kits, but using one adds a time penalty. Sometimes keeping the vehicle moving is worth more than a clean time.

Placement bonuses reward faster finishes, while long-term accolades track wins, class completions, repair-free runs, and Dakar mastery.

Clock Off and Go Racing

There are 34 Free Roam Events around Pepper Valley, with plenty of reasons to keep a second set of tyres handy.

The lineup includes:

Eight Formula Drift-inspired courses

Airport Drift Loop

Salt Flats Top Speed Run

Drag racing

Autocross

Two rallycross circuits

Full Circuit road race

Irwindale Oval

Desert Road Rallye

Short and long off-road tracks

Tough Truck Shakedown

Crawling trails

Ultra4-style courses

Sand drags and hill climbs

JustinRevs’ Backyard Loop

Irwindale has received track and barrier changes, clearer surfaces, and a new oval event. We’ve also adjusted some of the drift-area puddles, including those at Atlanta.

Away from the timed events, you can visit the auction, head to the demolition area, or put the burnout pad to use. The demolition entry and repair points have been moved closer to the tents for easier access.

If you just want somewhere to park up, there are car meets at Base Camp, AJ’s Auto Repairs, the racetrack, the Salt Flats, and Mountain View.

Buses, Recoveries, and Getting Lost

The Central Loop and Outer Loop bus routes offer a change of pace, with three loaner buses covering different stages of your career.

For recovery work, there are 42 locations spread across dunes, mountains, trails, and rocky basins. The Pepper Valley Recovery Yard gives you somewhere to keep the fleet between calls.

There are also four Travel Journal landmarks to find:

Dune Overlook

Rest Stop

Heaven’s Door

Impact Site

Around the Map

Pepper Valley has been updated for BeamNG.drive 0.39, with a rolling day/night cycle, revised weather and lighting, and more lights around roads and facilities.

The mountain road past the airfield has received further attention, along with intersections, highway connections, and roads around the logistics hubs. Missing road markings have been restored, disappearing road textures have been fixed, and GPS and AI routing have been tidied up.

Fuel, repair, and tuning locations have also received attention, and there’s an EV charger for anyone running electric.

Along the way, we’ve been fixing the smaller things: rough terrain near the Main Pit, disconnected guardrails, floating scenery, missing meshes, dark garage doors, and a bus spawn that was being mistaken for an inspection spot.

Thanks for sticking with us and supporting the work on Pepper Valley. We hope you enjoy finding your own routine here—whether that’s a full day of deliveries or spending all your delivery money on another drift car.
