As you drive through the empty roads inPacific Drive, you may notice your car begin to act strangely, especially after an Anomaly encounter. Maybe your car door opens randomly while you’re driving or your radio seemingly turns on by itself. If this and more is happening with your car, it’s likely it has a Quirk affecting it.

As a Remnant, your car’s just as strange as the Anomalies in the Zone, and sometimes this manifests in strange – and sometimes annoying – ways. Your car having a Quirk is a lot like a person being sick. If you want it gone, you’ll need to diagnose and fix it.

Your car canacquire a Quick any time it takes damageor even afterbeing in the Zonefor a while, but you’ll most often end up with a Quirk after your car has been affected by anAnomaly.
