How to Get the Holdfast Car in A Dusty Trip

The Holdfast is one of the newer cars introduced in A Dusty Trip, and you can obtain it for free by exploring the Desert Map and completing a short objective. Here’s how to unlock it step by step.

Step 1: Travel to the Ranch

Head out into the Desert Map and drive (or walk) roughly 6,100 meters away from your spawn point. Eventually, you’ll come across a ranch building sitting out in the open sands — this is your main destination.

Keep an eye out for enemies along the way; the desert tends to spawn mutants frequently.

Step 2: Defeat the Mutant for the Key

Near the ranch, you’ll find a mutant guarding the area. To access the building, you must defeat this mutant — it will drop a key once destroyed.

Pick up the key and approach the main ranch door.

Step 3: Unlock the Ranch

Use the key to unlock and open the ranch door. Inside, you’ll find the Holdfast car waiting for you. Once the door is open, the vehicle becomes yours permanently — congratulations, you’ve unlocked the Holdfast!

Holdfast Car Overview

The Holdfast car is modeled after the 2007 Holden Ute (VF variant), a sporty two-seater utility vehicle from Australia. The VF styling is reflected in its front bumper and overall shape, closely matching the real model’s appearance.

• Seats: 2 (Driver + Passenger)
• Fuel Capacity: 18 Liters (default start)
• Speedometer: Digital
• Headlights: Button located beneath the radio on the dashboard
• Trunk: Fully functional, includes a trailer hitch at the rear
• Radio: Classic design but non-functional in modern sense

Note: The passenger seat position is aligned correctly, but there’s a known walkie-talkie bug — touching it can cause your character’s hand to get stuck. This is a minor issue in the current version of the game.

Performance Test

Top Speed

• Measured in-game top speed: 137 km/h
• Actual stable top speed: ~89 km/h

Despite the digital speedometer reading higher, the effective driving speed caps around 89 km/h, which places it in the mid-performance range for vehicles in A Dusty Trip.

Acceleration

• 0–100 m in: 8.3 seconds
  Acceleration is surprisingly decent, making the Holdfast capable of handling quick desert escapes or fast travel between landmarks.

Fuel and Maintenance Consumption (per 5,000 m)

• Gas Used: ~1 L (from 18 → 17 L)
• Engine Oil Used: ~0.2 L
• Radiator Water Used: ~1.6 L

While gas and oil consumption are efficient, the radiator usage is notably high, so keep an eye on your water levels during longer trips.

Verdict: The Holdfast performs fairly well overall. It’s balanced in acceleration and speed, though its radiator efficiency could be better.

New Weapon – Six Shooter Revolver

Alongside the Holdfast, the update introduces the Six Shooter Revolver, a compact and stylish sidearm that packs serious damage.

Weapon Stats

• Magazine Size: 6 rounds
• Reserve Ammo: 48 rounds
• Reload Type: Manual cylinder reload

Damage Testing

• Headshot Damage: 99 (nearly an instant kill on mutants)
• Body Shot Damage: ~70
  This makes the Six Shooter roughly equivalent to the Deagle in raw power — capable of one-shot headshot kills and high burst damage at close range.

The Holdfast car is a great free vehicle for explorers who want reliable speed and solid acceleration, though you’ll need to manage radiator water carefully. Pair it with the Six Shooter Revolver, and you’ve got both mobility and firepower covered for long desert runs.
