Looking for a new, FREE off-road beast to dominate the A Dusty Trip wasteland? I’ve spent countless hours grinding for the Coyote car, and I’m here to tell you – it’s absolutely worth it! This fuel-efficient 4×4 has become my go-to vehicle for long-distance desert expeditions, and I’m pumped to share everything you need to know about unlocking it.

The Coyote is the latest free vehicle added to A Dusty Trip in March 2026, and it’s quickly becoming a community favorite. Unlike premium vehicles that cost Robux, this beauty is completely FREE if you’re willing to put in the grind. Trust me, after you read this guide, you’ll be cruising in your brand new Coyote faster than you think!

What is the Coyote Car in A Dusty Trip?

Before we dive into the grinding process, let me give you the full scoop on why the Coyote is such an amazing addition to your garage. This isn’t just another clunky starter vehicle – it’s a legitimate upgrade that rivals some premium options.

Coyote Car Overview

Feature	Details
Vehicle Type	4×4 Off-Road SUV
Inspired By	Suzuki Jimny LJ80
Cost	FREE (Quest Reward)
Seating Capacity	4 Players
Top Speed	~130 km/h
Fuel Efficiency	Excellent

The Coyote is inspired by the classic Suzuki Jimny LJ80-style off-roaders, and it shows in every detail. I absolutely love how the developers nailed the vintage 4×4 aesthetic while keeping it functional for A Dusty Trip’s brutal desert environment.

Why the Coyote is Worth Grinding For?

After testing this vehicle extensively, here’s why I think every A Dusty Trip player should prioritize unlocking it:

Fuel Efficiency Champion: This is where the Coyote truly shines. I’ve completed multiple 10,000+ meter runs on a single tank of gas. Compared to gas-guzzling premium vehicles, the Coyote lets you explore farther without constantly worrying about finding fuel stations.

Perfect Squad Vehicle: With 4 seats, you and three friends can all pile in for cooperative expeditions. The extra space means more people can shoot mutants from the windows while one person drives – a game-changer for survival.

Impressive Performance: That ~130 km/h top speed is nothing to scoff at. It’s fast enough to escape dangerous situations and outrun sandstorms, but controlled enough for precise navigation through tight areas.

Working Dashboard: Unlike many free vehicles, the Coyote features a fully functional analog dashboard. Being able to actually monitor your RPM and speed adds immersion and helps with vehicle maintenance.

Bright Headlights: Night driving in A Dusty Trip can be terrifying, but the Coyote’s powerful headlights cut through the darkness beautifully. I’ve avoided so many crashes thanks to these beams.

Built-In Radio: Yes, it has a radio! Cruise through the wasteland while blasting your favorite Roblox music IDs. Check out our guide on Roblox music ID codes for the perfect driving soundtrack.

How to Get the Coyote Car: The Mutant Roundup Quest

Now let’s get to the meat of this guide. The Coyote car is unlocked through the Mutant Roundup Quest, which replaced the old Scrap Scavenger system. This quest tests your combat skills, resource management, and dedication. Don’t worry though – I’ll break down exactly how to complete it efficiently.

Step 1: Locate the Mutant Roundup Building

Your first objective is finding the quest location. The Mutant Roundup building spawns exactly 1,500 meters from the starting area on the Desert map. You absolutely need a functional vehicle to make this trip, so don’t attempt it on foot!

How to Get There:

Start by building your starter car or van in the garage (need help? Check our A Dusty Trip Novalux Car guide)
Fill your gas tank completely
Head straight out from spawn
Keep an eye on your odometer
At 1,500m, look for a distinctive building with a large machine inside

Pro Tip: The Mutant Roundup building has a unique appearance with metal siding and a prominent entrance. You literally can’t miss it once you’re in the right area. I recommend going there early in your playthrough so you know exactly where to return with mutant bodies.

Step 2: Understanding the Mutant Point System

Here’s where strategy becomes crucial. Not all mutants are created equal – some give WAY more points than others. Understanding this system will save you hours of grinding.

Complete Mutant Point Values

Mutant Type	Points Earned	Difficulty	Spawn Frequency
Normal Mutant	1 point	Easy	Very Common
Cowboy Mutant	3 points	Medium	Common
Bonus Mutant	3 points	Medium	Common
Debris Mutant	3 points	Medium	Uncommon
Buff Mutant	3 points	Hard	Uncommon
Boss Mutant	15 points	Very Hard	Rare
Truck Boss	15 points	Very Hard	Very Rare

Critical Insight: One Boss Mutant equals 15 Normal Mutants. Let that sink in. If you can efficiently farm bosses, you’ll unlock the Coyote in a fraction of the time.

Here’s the math:

777 points ÷ 15 points per boss = 52 Boss Mutants
777 points ÷ 3 points per special mutant = 259 Special Mutants
777 points ÷ 1 point per normal mutant = 777 Normal Mutants

See the difference? Focus on higher-value targets whenever possible!

Step 3: The Grind to 777 Points

Now comes the most time-consuming part, but don’t worry – I’ve developed farming strategies that’ll make this way more manageable.

The Basic Loop:

Hunt Mutants: Drive around the map looking for buildings with mutants
Kill Them: Use guns, dynamite, or melee weapons (more on this below)
Collect Bodies: Pick up the mutant bodies after killing them
Transport: Drive back to the Mutant Roundup building at 1,500m
Deposit: Throw bodies into the grinding machine
Repeat: Keep going until you hit 777 points

Important Note: Your progress is saved! If you leave the server or die, your points remain tracked. You don’t have to complete all 777 points in one session, which is a massive relief.

Step 4: Claiming Your Coyote

Once you grind out those 777 Mutant Points, you’ll receive a server-wide notification: “Mutant Roundup Quest Complete – You got Coyote”

The Coyote will automatically appear in your garage! No need to find it on the map or complete any additional steps. Just head back to the lobby or any garage location, and boom – there’s your new ride ready to be built and driven.

Best Mutant Farming Strategies for Fast Points

Let me share the strategies I’ve developed after dozens of hours farming mutants. These techniques will dramatically speed up your Coyote unlock.

Strategy #1: The Boss Hunter Method (Fastest)

Best For: Experienced players with good weapons and a reliable vehicle

This is hands-down the fastest method if you can pull it off. Boss Mutants give 15 points each, making them incredibly efficient.

How to Do It:

Equip your best weapons (AK-47, shotgun, or RPG work great)
Learn boss spawn locations:

3,500m: Truck Stop (Debris Throwing Boss)
8,000m: Bar (Gunslinger)
13,750m: Ice Cream Shop (Ice Cream Boss)
Random encounters along roads

Use a fast vehicle to reach these locations
Defeat the boss carefully (they’re tough!)
Immediately collect the body and transport back
Repeat

My Experience: I once farmed 5 Boss Mutants in about 45 minutes using this method, earning 75 points. That’s equivalent to 75 Normal Mutants! The key is having enough firepower and not dying in the process.

Risk Factor: High. Bosses can destroy your vehicle and kill you quickly if you’re not careful. Always have backup supplies and weapons.

Strategy #2: The Special Mutant Route (Balanced)

Best For: Mid-level players looking for a balance between safety and efficiency

Special mutants (Cowboys, Bonus, Debris, Buff) give 3 points each and are much more common than bosses while being safer targets.

Optimal Route:

Start from spawn and drive to 1,500m (Mutant Roundup building)
Continue to 2,000-3,000m area (lots of buildings with special mutants)
Clear 3-4 buildings, collecting all mutant bodies
Return to Mutant Roundup building
Deposit bodies and head back out

Vehicle Recommendation: Use the Van or Steel Bed Truck for maximum cargo capacity. I can typically fit 6-8 mutant bodies per trip this way.

Time Estimate: Using this method consistently, you can earn 30-40 points per hour, meaning roughly 20-25 hours of total grinding. Sounds like a lot, but spread across multiple sessions, it’s totally doable.

Strategy #3: The Safe Grinder (Slowest but Safest)

Best For: Beginners or players who want zero risk

If you’re just starting out or hate the idea of losing your vehicle, this ultra-safe method minimizes risk.

How to Do It:

Only engage Normal Mutants in small buildings
Use melee weapons or your car to kill them (saves ammo)
Never venture past 3,000m initially
Make frequent trips back to Mutant Roundup building
Only carry 2-3 bodies at a time to reduce loss risk

Pros: You’ll rarely die or lose your vehicle
Cons: This is the slowest method, potentially taking 40+ hours total

My Recommendation: Start with this method to learn mutant behavior, then gradually transition to the Special Mutant Route as you get more comfortable.

Team Farming Tips

Playing with friends? Smart! Here’s how to optimize team farming:

The Multi-Vehicle Convoy:

Each player drives their own vehicle
Split up to cover more ground
One player guards the Mutant Roundup building
Others rotate bringing bodies back
Can earn 100+ points per hour with a coordinated 4-player team

The Hunter-Gatherer Split:

2 players focus on combat (hunting mutants)
2 players focus on transport (hauling bodies)
Specialized roles = maximum efficiency
Combat players use fast cars, transport players use trucks

Essential Combat Tips for Mutant Hunting

Killing mutants efficiently is crucial for fast farming. Let me share my combat expertise:

Best Weapons for Mutant Hunting

Tier S (Boss Killers):

AK-47: Perfect balance of damage, fire rate, and ammo capacity
RPG: One-shot kill on almost everything, but ammo is precious
Vampire Dagger: Melee weapon that one-shots most mutants and heals you

Tier A (Reliable Options):

Shotgun: Great close-range stopping power
Dynamite: Area effect, can kill multiple mutants at once
Minigun: Shreds everything but burns through ammo

Tier B (Budget Options):

Pistol: Decent starter weapon, ammo is common
Melee weapons: Free and always available
Your Car: Running over mutants works surprisingly well

Mutant Combat Tactics

For Normal Mutants:

They’re slower than your sprint speed
Kite them around obstacles while shooting
Or simply run them over with your car
Block with large objects if unarmed

For Buff Mutants:

Much more health and damage
Keep your distance
Use cover effectively
Aim for headshots if using guns

For Boss Mutants:

ALWAYS bring teammates if possible
Stock up on health items beforehand
Use your vehicle as mobile cover
Have an escape route planned
Debris Boss: Dodge the thrown objects
Gunslinger: Use cover, he has a gun
Ice Cream Boss: Keep moving, avoid poison spit

Pro Combat Tip: Never get surrounded. If you see multiple mutants converging on your position, retreat to your vehicle immediately. A strategic retreat is better than dying and losing all your carried mutant bodies.

Vehicle Selection for Farming

Your choice of vehicle massively impacts farming efficiency. Here’s my ranking:

Best Vehicles for Mutant Farming:

Semi-Truck (If you have it)

Massive flat bed for hauling tons of bodies
One trip can hold 15+ mutant bodies
Best option but requires purchase/unlock

Steel Bed Truck (Free Option)

Open flat bed design
Can stack 8-10 mutant bodies
Perfect balance of cargo space and accessibility

Van (Starter Vehicle)

Interior cargo space for 5-6 bodies
Easier to protect bodies from environmental damage
Good all-around choice

Regular Car (Not Recommended)

Limited trunk space (2-3 bodies max)
Too many trips required
Only use if it’s your only option

Fuel Management: Always carry extra gas cans! Running out of fuel while carrying mutant bodies is devastating. I keep 2 backup gas cans in my vehicle at all times during farming runs.

Advanced Farming Optimization

Want to maximize your points per hour? Here are my advanced techniques:

Route Planning

The Efficient Circuit:

Spawn → 1,500m (Mutant Roundup) → 2,000-3,000m (Farm Zone) → Return to 1,500m → Repeat

Why This Works:

Minimizes travel time
Keeps you close to the deposit point
Area between 2,000-3,000m has high mutant density
You can complete a full circuit in 15-20 minutes

Time Management

Peak Farming Schedule:

Morning Hunt (15-20 min): Kill mutants and collect bodies
Midday Deposit (5 min): Return to Mutant Roundup building
Afternoon Hunt (15-20 min): Second farming run
Evening Deposit (5 min): Final deposit before session end

This schedule nets you roughly 40-60 points per hour depending on luck and skill.

Inventory Management

What to Carry Always:

2x Gas Cans (full)
1x Weapon with ammo
1x Healing item
1x Spare tire (for emergencies)
1x Radiator (for vehicle maintenance)

What NOT to Carry:

Excess food (wastes space)
Multiple weapon types (pick one, maximize ammo for it)
Decorative items (save these for base)

Weather and Events

Sandstorms: Actually beneficial! Mutants spawn during sandstorms, giving you more farming opportunities. Just stay in your vehicle.

Night Time: Use vehicles with good headlights. The Coyote’s headlights are perfect once you unlock it, but until then, make sure your farming vehicle can illuminate your path.

Blood Moon Events: These special events spawn extra mutants with glowing eyes. They’re tougher but more valuable. If you’re confident in your combat skills, Blood Moon nights are AMAZING for farming points.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Learn from my failures! Here are mistakes that cost me hours of progress:

Mistake #1: Not Securing Bodies Properly

The Problem: Bodies can fall off your vehicle during transport
The Solution: Always secure bodies in enclosed spaces or use rope to tie them down
Cost Me: Lost approximately 30 mutant bodies (30 points) before I figured this out

Mistake #2: Venturing Too Far Too Soon

The Problem: Going beyond 5,000m early game means tougher mutants and more risks
The Solution: Stay in the 1,500-3,000m zone until you have better equipment
Cost Me: Lost my vehicle three times, setting back progress by hours

Mistake #3: Ignoring Vehicle Maintenance

The Problem: Focusing solely on mutant hunting while neglecting your vehicle
The Solution: Check engine oil, water, and radiator before every major trip
Cost Me: Had my engine die while carrying 8 mutant bodies (24 points worth)

Mistake #4: Not Banking Points Regularly

The Problem: Carrying too many bodies at once increases loss risk
The Solution: Make deposits every 5-10 bodies instead of trying to haul 20+
Cost Me: Server crashed while I had 15 bodies in my truck (not deposited yet)

Mistake #5: Solo Farming When Struggling

The Problem: Trying to do everything alone when it’s clearly too difficult
The Solution: Join the official A Dusty Trip Discord and find farming partners
Cost Me: Wasted a week being stubborn instead of getting help

Maximizing Your Coyote After Unlocking

Congrats on unlocking the Coyote! But your journey isn’t over. Here’s how to get the most out of your new ride:

Building Your Coyote for the First Time

Like all vehicles in A Dusty Trip, the Coyote spawns in parts that need assembly:

Place Four Wheels (found around the garage)
Install Engine (under the hood)
Add Radiator (front of vehicle)
Attach Doors (all 4 doors)
Optional: Hood and Trunk (cosmetic but recommended)
Fill Gas Tank (use gas can from garage)
Start Engine (press R)

First Drive Tips: Take it slow initially. Get a feel for the handling, braking distance, and turning radius. The Coyote handles differently from starter vehicles, so give yourself time to adjust.

Best Upgrades and Modifications

Want to supercharge your Coyote? Here’s what to prioritize:

Essential Upgrades:

Extra Gas Tanks: Extend your range even further
Armor Plating: Protect against mutant attacks
Better Headlights: If you can find upgraded ones
Roof Rack: Extra storage for supplies

Nice-to-Have Additions:

Bull Bar: Extra protection and intimidation factor
Spare Tire Mount: Always have a backup
Window Bars: Protect against mutants reaching inside

Coyote vs Other Free Vehicles

How does the Coyote stack up against other free options?

Vehicle	Top Speed	Fuel Efficiency	Cargo Space	Seating	Best For
Coyote	130 km/h	Excellent	Medium	4	Long-distance exploration
Novalux	120 km/h	Good	Medium	4	Balanced all-around
Juno	50-100 km/h	Poor	Small	2	Not recommended
Cabbie	160 km/h	Good	Medium	4	Speed runs
Starter Car	100 km/h	Average	Small	2	Early game only
Van	90 km/h	Average	Large	6+	Cargo hauling

My Take: The Coyote offers the best balance for solo players. It’s fast enough to escape danger, fuel-efficient enough for long trips, and has enough seats for friends. The Cabbie is faster, but the Coyote’s superior fuel economy makes it better for actual exploration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to unlock the Coyote car?

Based on my testing and community feedback, expect 15-25 hours of active grinding for the average player. Experienced players using the Boss Hunter method can potentially complete it in 10-12 hours, while beginners might take 30-40 hours. Playing with friends dramatically reduces this time.

Can I lose my Mutant Points progress?

No! Your Mutant Points are permanently tracked and saved to your account. Even if you die, leave the server, or take a break for weeks, your points remain. This is one of the best features of the Mutant Roundup quest system.

Is the Coyote worth the grind?

Absolutely! As someone who’s unlocked every free vehicle in A Dusty Trip, I can confidently say the Coyote is in the top 3. The fuel efficiency alone justifies the grind, and having a reliable 4-seater for squad play is invaluable. Plus, it looks amazing!

What’s the best weapon for mutant hunting?

For balance of effectiveness and ammo availability, the AK-47 is king. However, the Vampire Dagger is technically superior if you can get close enough (one-shots most mutants AND heals you). For bosses specifically, bring an RPG or Minigun.

Can I farm points on any map?

The Mutant Roundup building only appears on the Desert map at exactly 1,500 meters. The Plains/Grasslands map has different quests and vehicles. Make sure you’re on the correct map!

Do mutant bodies despawn?

Yes, bodies will despawn after approximately 5-10 minutes if not picked up. This is why you should collect them immediately after killing mutants. Bodies in your vehicle inventory won’t despawn though.

Can I complete this quest solo?

Yes, but it’s significantly slower and more challenging. I strongly recommend finding at least one partner. Check out similar free Roblox games like Fisch or Bee Swarm Simulator if you want solo-friendly experiences.

What happens if I die while carrying mutant bodies?

Unfortunately, you lose any bodies you were carrying that hadn’t been deposited yet. However, your deposited points remain safe. This is why I recommend banking your points frequently rather than hoarding bodies.

Are there codes for A Dusty Trip?

As of March 2026, A Dusty Trip doesn’t have an active codes system. However, you can check our comprehensive Roblox codes section for codes in similar games.

Will the Coyote be removed or changed?

Based on developer communications on the official Discord and Twitter, the Coyote is a permanent addition. However, the required Mutant Points might be adjusted in future updates. Get it now while you know the exact requirements!

Final Thoughts

After putting in the hours and finally cruising around in my Coyote, I can confidently say: Yes, this grind is 100% worth it.

The Coyote represents everything great about A Dusty Trip’s free-to-play model. It’s not a pay-to-win vehicle – it’s a reward for dedication, skill, and perseverance. Every point you grind toward those 777 teaches you more about the game’s mechanics, combat system, and map layout.

Beyond the practical benefits (incredible fuel efficiency, great speed, 4 seats), unlocking the Coyote is a badge of honor. When other players see you rolling up in that vintage 4×4, they know you put in the work. It’s one of the most respected free vehicles in the game.

My Grinding Journey: It took me about 18 hours total, spread across a week. Some days I’d only farm for 30 minutes, other days I’d put in 3-4 hour sessions. The key is consistency and using the strategies I’ve shared in this guide.

Best Decision I Made: Finding farming partners on Discord. Not only did we complete the quest faster, but we also made friends and had way more fun. A Dusty Trip is called that for a reason – the journey is long, but the companionship makes it memorable.

One Last Tip: Don’t burn yourself out. If you’re getting frustrated, take a break. Come back fresh, try a different farming strategy, or invite friends to join you. The Coyote will be there waiting when you’re ready to grind again.

Start Your Coyote Journey Today!
