Low condition brakes reduce a vehicle's stopping power.
— In-game description

A brake is an item forming an integral part of a vehicle, and can be found in three different tiers, old, regular and performance.

Usage

Braking

Brakes are used to stop the vehicle, with the tier of brake affecting the time it takes to stop the vehicle. From worst to best, they are: old, regular and performance.

Tier Vehicle type Brake force
Old Standard 17
Heavy-Duty 20
Sport 20
Regular Standard 20
Heavy-Duty 23
Sport 23
Performance Standard 25
Heavy-Duty 28
Sport 27

Installing/uninstalling

A brake is fitted onto the vehicle under the tire with a jack and wrench. Therefore, the tire must first be removed to access the brake. Each level of mechanics will decrease the chance of causing damage and increase the chance of success. Each vehicle type has a different recommended level, which will result in no damage and a 100% chance of success. The recommended mechanics level for each vehicle type is listed below.

  • Standard: 3
  • Heavy-Duty: 6
  • Sport: 7

It is not possible to mix classes of car parts. For example, a standard class brake cannot be fitted onto a sport class vehicle. It is possible, however, to mix types of brakes, as long as they are the same class. For example, a standard class vehicle can have performance brakes in the front and old brakes in the back, so long as they are all standard class parts. This is not recommended, however, as it can cause skidding, sliding, and loss of control while braking.

Condition

The condition of the brake will affect the vehicle's ability to stop quickly with reduced skid/slide. Different types of brake affect the braking force. From least effective to most effective, they are old, regular, and performance.

Brake condition will gradually decrease as the brakes are continually used, and damaged brakes cannot be repaired. They cannot be repaired, meaning a new brake must be salvaged from other vehicles or found in the world.

The tier of the vehicle will also affect the chance of finding it already damaged.
Modifier used for finding a part damaged (higher is more likely):

  • Old: 70
  • Regular: 50
  • Performance: 30

Distribution

Brakes can be found in mechanic shops.
