- Welding in Dead Rails is easier than you think. You can do it by pressing the 'Z' key while holding the item near the train's body.
- Unwelding the items can be done in a similar fashion: simply walk up to the item and press the 'Z' key again.
- Welding items is much more useful since you will keep running into stuff as you progress through the game.
Being the Wild West it is, Dead Rails is full of many items. However, you never know which item is junk and which is useful. With a limited storage space in your sack, sorting them according to their priorities becomes increasingly tricky. To help with just that, Dead Rails lets you weld items right to the train’s body. So if you’re new to the game, this mechanic will be handy. Keep reading as we show you how to weld items in Dead Rails so you never lose them again.
How to Weld in Dead Rails
Welding in Dead Rails is a basic task that every player should know. It allows you to stick valuables, corpses, animals, weapons, ammunition, and almost any in-game items except live entities onto the train’s body.
Moreover, this feature isn’t limited to the train. You can also weld the same materials on the horse-cart, making it a movable storage space. Thankfully, the steps remain the same for both. With that said, here is how to weld in Dead Rails:
- The first thing you must do is hold the item in your hand that you want to weld.
- If the item is in your sack, unstore it using the ‘F‘ key, then click and hold the Left Mouse Button to bring it to your hand.
- Make sure that the train is stationary during the process. Otherwise, the things can slide right off.
- Now that the item is in your hand, move it close to the train’s body.
- A Weld button will appear in the bottom right corner.
- Press the ‘Z‘ key to weld the item on the train’s body at that location.
How to Unweld Items in Dead Rails
Unwelding an item in Dead Rails is as simple as welding it. Simply go near the welded item, and a similar button will appear in the bottom right corner. Now, you can press the ‘Z‘ key to unweld the item, and it will become movable again.
Remember that unwelding items will also be more convenient if the train is not moving. Since the primary purpose of welding the items is that they don’t fall off the train when it’s running. As such, if you try unwinding them, there’s a high chance they will slide away. Moreover, you can’t risk jumping down for the item, especially if it’s nighttime and there are monsters nearby.
And that’s how you weld items in Dead Rails. Are you still having trouble with the entire process? Let us know in the comments below.
