Tornadoes
Six types per the community wiki — stovepipe, cone, wedge, multi-vortex, nocturnal, and the removed satellite — from about 80 to 230+ MPH
Interaction: They destroy towns, record on probes, pay radar scans, and kill vehicles that drive in
TwisterX Builds and Entities
How a TwisterX vehicle becomes a build — deploy mechanics, spikes, scans, and crew seats — and every entity that shares the storm world: tornadoes, probes, NPCs, the duck, and the towns themselves.
Community-documented detail · official base factsChecked 2026-10-08
Quick answer
In TwisterX, the build is the behavior you configure a vehicle into: an interceptor parked with flaps and spikes down works in a completely different wind band than the same truck driving (TIV 2: a reported 235 MPH deployed, 110 MPH undeployed); a DOW 6 becomes an income engine the moment its 5-second scan cycle starts. Around the vehicles live the game's entities — six tornado types, eight probe models, the NPC Rise, a meetable developer pair, one official duck, and towns that the biggest tornadoes can delete.
Builds
Five documented builds
Vehicle platforms and their configured jobs, from the community wiki's vehicle data, checked 2026-10-08.
| Build | Platform | Documented details | Job |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scout build | Free civilians (Lighting, Houler, Aurora lines) | 75–110 MPH thresholds and 94–114 MPH top speeds on the community wiki's table; the mesonet HUD runs automatically on every vehicle | Read reflectivity and velocity from a safe road, call the storm's track for the rest of the convoy |
| Deployed interceptor build | TIV 1, TIV 2, Dominator 1–3, Storm Piercer | Deployment via the bottom-right button, only while fully stopped; deployed thresholds are the headline numbers — TIV 2 (2024) at a reported 235 MPH deployed versus 110 MPH undeployed | Park in the funnel's projected path with flaps and spikes down; the Dominator 3 adds four spikes and click-launched rocket probes |
| Radar scanning build | DOW 3, RAXPOL, DOW 6 | Scan cycles of 7 seconds (DOW 3, 3-mile), compact 2-mile (RAXPOL), and 5 seconds (DOW 6, 5-mile) with the highest payout; despawning mid-scan can break the mesonet's radar readout | Run the income loop: stay in range, let cycles complete, reposition as the storm tracks |
| Data / support build | MDS, HashTV van, Titus | The MDS is the mobile data manager unlocked through Rise at RUSH HQ ($7,000 spawn); the HashTV van ($2,000) covers news roleplay; Titus carries a tornado-recording camera system | Record, film, and manage the data the storm chase produces |
| Crew build | Lancer 2015 | Role seats for driver, navigator, camera crew, and a Skywarner, with an engineer control panel; $10,000,000 after a documented cut from $30,000,000 | The endgame squad vehicle — the wiki's strongest interceptor, built to be crewed |
Entities
What shares the world with you
Every entity type the game and its community documentation describe.
Probes
Eight purchasable probes at $1,000 each, plus the fixed RUSH HQ probe north of Redfield with its anemometer and blinking lights
Interaction: Record a tornado's maximum wind speed when the funnel passes over; camera models also record footage
NPCs
Rise at RUSH HQ near Redfield runs the MDS unlock chain, per the official MDS. badge text; Fluzerify and Kyoto appear as meetable creator entities behind their own badges
Interaction: Meeting Rise unlocks the store entry; meeting the developers awards the rarest badges in the game (13 players hold Meet Kyoto!)
The duck
An official scavenger-hunt entity: the duck. badge says to find it in a town added in 0.7, with over 3,000 players credited
Interaction: Find and claim it for the badge — the badge text is the only official hint
Towns and facilities
Community-mapped places including Haton's NWS office and KMHT radar, Galva's TRLG radar, HashTown's HashTV HQ, and Kimmiry's own radar, siren, and shelter from 0.15.1
Interaction: Spawns, landmarks, and services — towns can be destroyed by the tornadoes they host
Builder's notes
Trivia that changes how you build
- Before update 0.15.1, the DOW 6 could reach 250 MPH due to a bug, making it the fastest vehicle in the game; the official in-game tip now reads that the DOW 6 was never supposed to go 250 MPH.
- The TWISTEX Probe Truck held the fastest-vehicle title before the DOW 6 and was later removed.
- The wiki's own trivia names the Subanator as the weakest interceptor and the Lancer 2015 as the strongest.
- The Dominator 1 has Z/C turn signals — the only vehicle that does, per the wiki.
- Titus, introduced in 0.9, was the first vehicle fully modeled by Fluzerify and includes a camera system for recording tornadoes; the wiki reports it has been buggy since 0.15.
- The TIS sedan, based on a Pecos Hank video, is listed as unobtainable because it recreated real storm-chasing incidents.
FAQ
Builds and entities questions
What does deploying actually do?
Deployment turns an interceptor or radar truck into its anchored configuration — the community wiki reports flaps, spikes, and pistons (DOW 6) activating, and deployed wind thresholds running far higher than undeployed ones (TIV 2: 235 MPH deployed vs 110 MPH undeployed, as reported). The bottom-right Deploy button only works while the vehicle is fully stopped.
Which build should a new player assemble first?
The scout build, entirely for free: the official description says most vehicles are free, and the civilian lines are the documented learning platform. Add a $1,000 probe (the debris-proof Twistex Turtle) as your first purchase, then climb toward the radar-truck builds that fund everything else.
Are entities dangerous to buildings too?
Yes — the community wiki documents tornadoes destroying towns, which is why sirens and shelters (documented in Kimmiry as of 0.15.1) exist as map features.
Where do the numbers on this page come from?
The community Fandom wiki's Vehicles and Map pages, checked October 8, 2026, with official facts (the badge texts, the free-vehicles statement) from the Roblox description and badge API. Every number keeps its source label on the sources page.
