A cut down variation of the Silverhand Assault Tank that sacrifices armour and protection in favour of a high-powered 94.5mm cannon. This open-top weapon platform is uniquely designed to intercept enemy armour before they’re given time to retaliate. Its moniker is a tribute to the maiming of the great king the Silverhand is named for; while his title was stripped, and his pride damaged, his rage was never quelled.

— In-game description
The Silverhand Lordscar Mk. X (also known as an STD) is a late-game WardenAssault Tank equipped with a hull-mounted, low-velocity 94.5mm main cannon. Its most distinctive feature is the open-top chassis, which exposes the crew to the outside.
The Silverhand Lordscar - Mk. X has 3100 HP and is disabled under 30% health. It has "Heavy Armor" resistance: it can soak small arms fire, shrapnel, and 12.7mm machine guns, and it is immune to Flamethrowers. But heavy explosives and anti-tank weaponry are a real threat to it. It has subsystems that have a chance to be disabled by heavy explosives and anti-tank weaponry if hit specifically: Tracks: 30% (Anti-Tank Mines always disable them), Fuel Tank: 20%, Turret/Cannon: 20%. It has Tank Armor. With it, in best case scenario, penetrating projectiles only have a 30% chance of penetrating and doing damage. That chance goes up quickly if the armor is worn or if it is shot from up close, or on the side or rear from a direct angle, or with ammo that has penetration bonuses. It takes 200 Basic Materials to fully repair it from 1% to 100% health with a Hammer. Its health, subsystems, and Tank Armor can be instantly repaired at a Garage for 100 Basic Materials.
The Silverhand Lordscar Mk. X excels at vehicle combat, being able to inflict massive damage against enemy armored vehicles with its main cannon (its firing arc is limited due to being mounted in the hull). Due to 94.5mm being an AP round, it has a higher chance of penetrating armor, and can disable subsystems easier compared to explosive rounds. Targeting enemy vehicle's subsystems is highly recommended.
Due to the open-top nature of the vehicle, it is far easier to be decrewed by enemy infantry, and armored vehicles using 'air-bursting' tactics (the tactic of firing a round at max range, which will instantly explode once it reaches that max range). Additionally, it's recommended for crews to be extremely careful during combat and not putting themselves in vulnerable situations where the enemy can exploit its flanks, or the open-top nature of the vehicle.
Although it is possible to use the tank without a Commander, it's not recommended as it will limit your awareness on the battlefield.
Standard Equipment Loadout
Like with every other armored vehicle, the crew should ALWAYS equip themselves with a Gas Mask and multiple Filters to avoid dying to Gas Grenades. Additionally, they should bring a Hammer and Basic Materials to repair the tank. These tactics can be buffed by wearing either a Tank Uniform or an Engineer Uniform.
Tips
Like all vehicles that use large shells, they can be quickly submitted into them without accessing their inventory
While this can be done for all vehicles, it should only be done if they can carry/use large items
Equip the shell and walk up to the vehicle
Submit the shell into the vehicle - pressV
Trivia
Similar to the H10 "Pelekys" (also known as the LTD), the Silverhand Lordscar Mk. X does not have a Commander seat when pressing the Shift + Q menu, as they do not have a hatch they can pop out of by pressing E. Due to the Passenger seat being able to use their secondary equipment for open-top vehicles, it fits largely the same role as the Commander seat
Due to balance reasons, the Silverhand Lordscar - Mk. X was the first 94.5mm vehicle in the game that was given a low-velocity modifier. This was largely due to its fast maneuverability, which allowed it to quickly engage enemy armored vehicles, with most engagements ending in two shots.
These balance changes led to the nerf of the 94.5mm shell, which reduced its subsystem disable chance being reduced. Despite the change, the previous nerf was still implemented.
