Moving Out Guide – Things to know before you start playing

We have brought you a Moving Out Guide so that you can start the game with ease. Follow it correctly so that you don’t make any mistakes.

Moving houses is apparently so enjoyable that Team 17 decided we all needed a digital version of the experience and created the Moving Out game. The Moving Out sees one to four players assume the role of a newly certified Furniture Arrangement & Relocation Technician. In this over-the-top physics-based moving simulator, the busy town of Packmore is in desperate need of someone with your skills to help move items from one location to another.

The idea behind Moving Out is to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible without worrying about minor details like mayhem and destruction. As it turns out, this can be a little more difficult than it appears. So, if you’re thinking of playing for the first time, you might need some pointers. We’ve put together a Moving Out Guide for you.

Moving Out Guide: Co-op is fun and very helpful

Moving Out can be played solo, but it can also be played with up to four friends in couch co-op mode. You’ll face challenges in a variety of settings, including farms, suburban homes, offices, and even haunted houses. To achieve your objectives, you will need to grab and move objects of varying sizes and fragility. 

Each level’s unique challenges range from narrow corridors and busy roads to water hazards and narrow corridors. Don’t overlook the sheep and chickens! Collect TVs, beds, lampshades, and cookers. There’s no doubt about it: this isn’t your typical house-moving experience.

Give priority to two-handed furniture

It’s worth mentioning that this isn’t an issue in single-player because solitary movers can raise two-handed furniture. Moving the heavier furniture should be your top priority if you’re playing co-op.

Make sure to concentrate on larger things, such as beds and sofas. Those goods will take up the majority of your moving truck’s capacity, so make sure you don’t have to squeeze in between all the smaller stuff. Even if something is loaded onto a truck, it is not guaranteed to remain there. It’s entirely feasible that something will spill out of the physics system in Moving Out. You should stack as elegantly as possible.

Moving Out Guide: Time limit

Each level will need you to acquire specific things from the map while also having a time constraint to meet. You’ll be judged on how quickly you can gather all the things, with Gold, Silver, and Bronze rewards are given out depending on how quickly you complete the task. You’ll be able to pick up and carry a few items on your own, but larger items will take two or more persons to handle and transport to the delivery vehicle. 

Furthermore, you can also modify the difficulty to present yourself with different levels of challenge. The more difficult the stage, the more goods you’ll have to move in shorter amounts of time to earn those Gold medals.

Shortcuts are important

There is no penalty for destroying objects in Moving Out. There are several references to it in the game, as well as jokes about it. Yes, players are urged to seek out as many shortcuts as they can. If you have the ability to break through windows, go for it! Do it if you can smash down a flimsy wall! You can utilize the new passageway to break into the house or to hurl tiny goods at your companion.

Just keep in mind that taking a shortcut isn’t always an option, so plan as much as possible. Have a strategy in place for getting those mattresses and sofas to the truck as quickly as feasible. If you and your companion have perfected the art of tossing, you may try flinging the bulkier beds and sofas to more advantageous locations. However, your timing must be perfect, so make sure you practice together.

Teamwork and getting items out of the way

This is where having one or more partners is quite beneficial. You’ll eventually come across stages with greater obstacles, such as swimming pools. You’ll even be moving objects in the middle of busy traffic later in the game. As a result, teamwork will be critical.

You’ll want to relocate the smaller items by safely tossing them to one another after you’ve gotten the bigger items out of the way. Throw boxes or smaller pieces of furniture across perilous gaps, such as those aforementioned swimming pools, using your throwing function. Make a hot potato game out of it. Someone should be stationed near the moving truck, ready to receive the smaller things. This person should be your greatest organizer, capable of clearing space in the vehicle and stacking smaller items on top of the bigger items.

Moving Out Guide: Stacking items

It is possible to stack some objects on top of one another. However, you won’t be putting a bed on top of something fragile or on top of a smaller box. That isn’t how moving works. You do, however, have a tossing function, which you should use after loading in the larger things.

Make sure to practice throwing items before moving on to the next step. Change your preferences as often as you like in the options menu. Changing your throw’s toggle allows you to choose how you want it to behave. Success in Moving Out depends on getting the most out of your throws.

Use your tossing feature to fling a smaller item on top of the bed, sofa, or table. Smaller boxes and equipment, such as your toaster or computer, will fit neatly on top of the larger items. Additionally, this will save space in the moving truck. That extra space will come in handy, especially for yard goods like that annoying barbecue or other single-person items that can’t be thrown away. To decide what can be thrown, the eyeball test should suffice. Simply avoid throwing anything fragile, as indicated by the red icon. Throwing a fragile item will cause it to shatter and respawn in its original location, wasting valuable time.
