1. Probe the storm
Buy a $1,000 probe, place it in a funnel's path, and collect the maximum wind speed it records — the data trail that leads to the 300MPH Tornado badge, held by over 500,000 players.
The complete documented inventory: eight probes at $1,000 each, nine official badges with their award counts, and the unlock chains — from the Twistex Turtle to the NPC Rise at RUSH HQ.
TwisterX's item shelf is short and readable: one item class (probes, $1,000 each, eight models), a vehicle store that is mostly free per the official description, and a nine-badge reward wall whose texts double as the game's quest log — find the duck, meet Kyoto, speak to Rise, survive a 300 MPH server. There are no loot boxes and no code rewards; the documented rewards come from storms and exploration.
$1,000 for every purchasable probe — community wiki, checked 2026-10-08.
| Probe | Price | Camera | Documented origin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twistex Turtle | $1,000 | No camera | Named for the TWISTEX research team's low, heavy probe design; the wiki calls it the first probe and the one that withstands flying debris. |
| Vortex | $1,000 | Camera | The probe famously used by VORTEX2 field teams; the second probe added. |
| Dorothy | $1,000 | Camera | The barrel-style probe popularized by the Twister film and the real TOTO project. |
| Twistex Tower | $1,000 | Camera | The tower variant of the TWISTEX design. |
| TVN | $1,000 | Camera | Named for TVN Weather's probe line. |
| TOWER | $1,000 | No camera | A tower-style probe without a camera. |
| NOTT | $1,000 | No camera | A cameraless probe design. |
| High Risk | $1,000 | Camera | Named for the highest severe-weather outlook category. |
A probe records the maximum wind speed of the tornado that passes over it, and camera-equipped probes also record footage. A fixed RUSH HQ probe sits on the map north of Redfield with an anemometer and blinking lights; it cannot be bought or moved.. Known issue: The wiki documents a bug where a placed probe sometimes stops showing its max wind speed or camera feed.

The three documented chains that turn exploration into a store entry or a badge.
Buy a $1,000 probe, place it in a funnel's path, and collect the maximum wind speed it records — the data trail that leads to the 300MPH Tornado badge, held by over 500,000 players.
The NPC at RUSH HQ near Redfield runs the MDS chain: the official badge says the meeting unlocks the MDS in the store, and the wiki adds a $7,000 spawn requirement once it does.
The duck. badge hides a duck in the 0.7 town, tix. hides one in the 0.15.1 town, and the creator badges reward meeting Fluzerify (about 600 holders) and Kyoto (13 holders) in live servers.
Eight purchasable probes, all priced at $1,000: Twistex Turtle, Vortex, Dorothy, Twistex Tower, TVN, TOWER, NOTT, and High Risk. Five carry cameras; the Twistex Turtle, TOWER, and NOTT record wind data without a camera. A ninth probe — the fixed RUSH HQ model north of Redfield — sits on the map and records for everyone.
The Twistex Turtle: the community wiki calls it the first probe added and the one that withstands flying debris, which matters when your placement is literally in a tornado's path. Camera lovers can step up to the Vortex — the wiki's noted VORTEX2 classic — for the same $1,000.
A probe records the maximum wind speed of the tornado that passes over it — the number badge runs and storm-chasing sessions are scored on. Camera models also capture footage. Exact cash payouts for probe hits have no official table, so treat specific payout claims with care.
Follow the official MDS. badge: it unlocks MDS in the store and tells you to speak to Rise. The community wiki places Rise at RUSH HQ near Redfield, with a $7,000 spawn requirement once the chain completes — and notes it has been buggy for some players.
No code system is documented for TwisterX as of October 8, 2026 — the codes page documents the five-surface check behind that statement. The documented rewards path is probes, badges, and the free-vehicle roster instead.
