Mechanic

Mechanic is the occupation that keeps your cars alive — and a dead car is a dead escape plan.

Summary

Starts with a Mechanics bonus for repairing, maintaining and upgrading vehicles.

Bonuses

  • Head start in Mechanics
  • Better vehicle repair, part swapping and maintenance

Why Vehicle Skill Matters

Cars are storage, shelter and escape. Keeping one running means repairing engines, swapping parts and managing condition — all gated behind Mechanics. A Mechanic keeps the fleet healthy without a long grind.

Pairing Note

Mechanic does not let you hotwire on its own — that needs Electrical too, or the Burglar occupation. Plan your build accordingly if mobility from minute one is the goal.

Verdict

Valuable for vehicle-centric runs; less impactful for players who barely drive.
