Less than a week has since Starfield’s latest REV-8 became available across the Settled Systems. With several mods for the vehicle starting to pop out in Creations Club, players have waited a long time for the land vehicle update to drop.

Even so, Starfield fans are having a grand time with the REV-8, with many of them showcasing their driving skills and unleashing their inner Evel Knievel with low-gravity moon jumps and stunts.

Some players have started to utilize the vehicle in many unorthodox but familiar ways. With the REV-8 amping up the action and adventure in Starfield, we’ve collated the best REV-8 stunts and shenanigans for everyone to enjoy!

Jumping Craters Are The New Fad

Reddit user u/Wyan69 showcased a terrific moon crater jump that utilized the REV-8’s horizontal and vertical boost while taking advantage of the moon’s low gravity.

Some may think this stunt came from an energy drink commercial, but who knows? Maybe Chunks or Terrabrew will send them a marketing proposal featuring caffeine-boosted energy drinks.

4-Wheeled 360-no scopes

User u/feelgoodinc27 must feel good after they decimated an Ecliptic Agent while maneuvering the rocky terrain using the REV-8.

What’s hilarious about this stunt is that the Ecliptic Operator tried to order the agent to abandon the mission as u/feelgoodinc27 soars us to the atmosphere and 360-no scopes (technically, it was a 180). The enemy is using the REV-8’s laser turret.

Starfield Carmaggedon - Intentional Or Just A Driver Skill Issue?

u/Responsible-Ad2693 posted a clip on Reddit showing them driving through the innocent streets of New Atlantis when, a second later, they may have “accidentally” run over several unsuspecting civilians.

UC Security then tried to stop u/Responsible-Ad2693 from doing more collateral damage due to their driving skills but failed to do so. While this differs from the first two stunts, driving the REV-8, like playing a certain auto theft game, is considered dangerous within the Settled Systems.

The REV-8 Is Perfect for Hill Climb Racing

The Vasco-approved REV-8 is perfect for hill climbing, as shown by user u/XxTombraiderfanxX’s clip on Reddit. Paying homage to Shadowmere, Skyrim’s most durable horse who can climb mountains, they successfully climbed a steep mountain with Vasco in the backseat.

Bethesda games seem always to have these charming modes of transportation that can stick to virtually anything.

With the REV-8 Came Atmospheric Flights

Who would’ve thought that Bethesda may have accidentally introduced helicopters and gliders in Starfield during REV-8’s release? As demonstrated by user u/gogonbo on Reddit, atmospheric flight is possible with the REV-8 if players can access console commands and turn on God mode.

They could glide and hover over mountains thanks to the infinite boost of the REV-8, and Andreja was even on the backseat complimenting their “knack for vehicular gymnastics.” Now that almost every Starfield fan has seen this stunt, it’ll only be a matter of time before helicopter mods will be available via Creations Club.

The REV-8 is a fantastic and welcome addition to exploration in Starfield, and many fans now have something to focus on while waiting for the ever-mysterious story of the Va’ruun in the Shattered Space DLC.
