How to Open Hood or Trunk in Beamng

In BeamNG.drive, opening the hood or trunk of a vehicle is not typically bound to a single key like in some other driving games. Instead, it involves interacting with the vehicle parts using the “Node Grabber” tool, which allows you to manipulate specific parts of the vehicle.

Steps to Open the Hood or Trunk:

  1. Activate the Node Grabber:
    • Press CTRL to enable the Node Grabber mode. You’ll see small nodes appear on different parts of the vehicle.
  2. Select the Hood or Trunk:
    • Move your mouse over the area where the hood or trunk is located. Nodes should appear on the edges or corners of these parts.
  3. Click and Drag:
    • Click on one of the nodes on the hood or trunk, then drag your mouse to lift or open the part. You can drag in different directions to simulate opening it as you would in real life.
  4. Fine-Tune the Position:
    • If needed, you can fine-tune the position by dragging different nodes to adjust how wide the hood or trunk opens.

Using Modifications or UI Apps:

  • Some mods or UI apps in BeamNG.drive allow for more direct control over specific vehicle functions, such as opening doors, hoods, or trunks. If you frequently need to interact with these parts, you might consider downloading a mod that adds these controls to the game’s UI.

Note: The exact process may vary slightly depending on the vehicle and any mods or customizations you have installed. Always ensure you have the latest version of the game and check the community forums for updates or additional tips on vehicle manipulation.
