Get ready Speed Freeks, the finish line is in sight!

Cross it in style, by using ‘ya battle loot to look Snazzy



Scrap and Teef are the two resources that you can use to unlock cosmetics in Speed Freeks.

Scrap is collected by fighting and finishing matches. It drives your progression through the WAAAGH! PATH while unlocking plenty of items along the way.

Teef are purchased with real money and can be spent in the Mek Shop to buy cosmetics.

Purchasing the Loot Pass with Teef allows you to earn a ton of extra items in the WAAAGH! PATH. It also lets you skip the latest vehicle's unlock challenge. Please consider purchasing the Loot Pass to unlock a lot of cool cosmetics as well as early access to the latest vehicle!

It’s important to note that all vehicles featured in the WAAAGH! PATH can also be unlocked simply by playing matches and there are also no time limited cosmetics.

There are no pay-to-win features in Speed Freeks. Cosmetics (and Scrap Boosts) are the only thing you can buy with real money, whether that's buying the Loot Pass to unlock more items as you play or by buying them directly from the Mek Shop.

Scrap Boosts on the other hand, are progression boosters that allow you to unlock cosmetics faster and have no effect on gameplay.

Right now, customization in Speed Freeks is cosmetic only. In the future, we might explore other types of customization options, but we will never lock those options behind a paywall, and we are committed to respecting the time of our non-paying players.

Read on for a walkthrough of the myriads of options available to you to truly express your WAAAGH!




The Kustomize screen allows you to piece together wild creations, paint them in whatever colors you choose and then take them onto the battlefield to flaunt your spoils of war.

Let's put the snazz into our snazzwagon.

Step 1: The most important part of customization is the kit

A kit is a modified version of the vehicle's default chassis. These can range from small adjustments to full-scale reworks.


Let’s go with the Spikey Wagon kit. We want this thing to look mean, while sticking to the classic look of the Snazzwagon. You can also buy this kit with Teef as part of the Boomdakka Snazzwagon Pack in the Mek Shop.

Step 2: Next, the paintjob

We'll start with the Goff clan paintjob as a base. You can unlock all the clan paintjobs by completing vehicle challenges. For the Goff paintjobs, it's all about racking up kills and assists, because Goffs love getting stuck in!


Let’s now click on the wrench icon to customize the colors. Nothing crazy, we'll just swap the red highlights for some green and yellow. Green, we all know, is best, and yellow because it’s the color of dakka. Of course, this wagon packs a whole lotta dakka.

Those players who took part in our alpha and beta playtests will notice a lot more paint colors in the above screenshot! There are currently 153 to choose from, including metallics!

While the Ork adage goes 'red wunz go fasta', this belief is not yet true at Early Access launch for Speed Freeks because the color of paint you choose won't affect your vehicle's stats. We don't want players to feel restricted in how they paint their vehicles to receive a certain buff. However, we will keep our eye on community feedback about this, so drop us a comment on our Feature Upvote page [link] if you have suggestions about our Ork color theory.

Step 3: Now it's time for the rims

These ones are nice and spiky. If you buy our Loot Pass, they’re unlocked right at the start of the WAAAGH! PATH. But remember, there is no time limit, you can complete the WAAAGH! PATH at your own pace, and at any time!


Selecting the gear icon again, we can mess with the rim's colors to make them better match the rest of the vehicle. Every good model painter knows how important the details are! If you want to learn more about how we referenced real painted models to define the art style of this game, check out Dev Blog 06!

Step 4: The tires are already good and spiky

...so we’ll move right on to the Gubbinz.



Let's stick the Dakka glyph on there, which is unlocked for all vehicles by completing a Boomdakka Snazzwagon challenge and paint it yellow.

Step 5: Here, we'll choose the Squig Pole

It's fully animated, so to really appreciate it gnawing the life out of that metal bar you'll have to check it out in game.


The Squig Pole is available in the Supporter's Pack within the Mek Shop. Buying this pack also gets you a loyal Grot companion to go with you in your Krumped Kam taunt screen and several other menu screens. If you want to support this game, please consider picking up the Supporter's Pack!

Et Voilà, as Orks don’t say.

Compared to the default look, here on the right is our finished vehicle!


We hope that the customization features in Speed Freeks will bring more joy to your inner Mek!

Personalization is a huge part of the hobby, and the kit-bashing culture constantly leaves us in awe. For those of us without bits boxes and workshops, please enjoy this Orky digital sandbox. While a videogame could never match the creative spirit that has fuelled the Warhammer 40000 community for decades, these options are our closest digital approximation of that hobby feeling
