Tactics

The Staff Car, much like most LUVs, are not directly designed for frontline combat, and instead are to act as a support vehicle for frontline troops. This can be done by ferrying troops to a destination, or running various supplies to the front.

Due to not having any armament, it is of utmost importance to not get into range of enemy fire, especially those with AT weaponry (such as handheld AT equipment, or vehicles with AP or explosive rounds). Doing so will greatly increase the chance of the vehicle getting disabled, or outright destroyed.

Trivia

• The base speed of the Staff Car is faster than the UV-05a “Argonaut”, which is currently the fastest LUV in the game.
• Destroyed Staff Cars can be found across the world map, mainly on the sides of roads near Town Bases.
  • These are for ambiance/map visuals and cannot be rebuilt
