Quick Links
There’s a lot of ground to cover inMy Time At Sandrock, and walking everywhere can waste precious time in the day. Rather than get around town on your own two feet, you can use a mount to get there much faster (and in style). All you need is a few Gols and a stable to house them in.
If you don’t have a stable, there are other ways to utilize mounts and boost Sandrock’s economy. We’ve done the legwork for you so that you can find the perfect mount and speed up your adventures in Sandrock and the Eufala Desert.
How To Unlock Mounts
Mounts arenot available at the beginning of the game, despite being able to visit the Wandering Y and see Cooper’s available stock. You’ll only be able to access mounts aftercompleting the Farewell Party missionand receiving aletter from Elsie.
This is an optional side mission, but it’s a useful one as it allows you to access a faster way to get around town.
Complete this quest to go through abrief tutorial with Elsiefor riding horses (which applies to the other mounts as well).
How To Get A Mount
You can get a mount in one of two ways: You canrent it for the week or you can purchase itfor your own stables. Depending on how often you ride, the investment may or may not be worth it.
Rent A Mount
You canrent a mountfor afraction of the pricefor a week, much like the pass Rocky offers to the salvage yard. However, once the week is up, your mount will be unavailable unless you purchase another week.
This is agood short term option, but if you find yourself needing to ride more often, it might be time to think aboutinvesting in your own stable.
Buy A Mount
You canbuild a stable at Construction Junction, whereHeidi, the architectworks. This large structure willtake up a good portion of your workshop, so make sure to expand it beforehand.
To build a stable, you’ll need:
You can get Steel Bars asloot from The Breach Hazardous Ruinsafter clearing The Breach. Run the second level to open and break chests.
You’ll have toprogress through the main questbefore you unlock some of these materials, and you’ll need toupgrade some of your equipment and machineryas well.
Once you’ve built the stable,you can purchase mountsfrom Cooper.Check back oftento see what’s in stock, as the current mounts will change regularly.
Owning your own mount allows you to build a relationship with it so long as you look after it.
