== Also known as "Lessons learned the hard way" ==

1. '''Avoid head-on collisions''', ''especially if you don't have a ram on your vehicle.'' You can break your front weapons even if you still have armor left.

2. '''Know your enemy.''' Take the time to look up their vehicle([[NPC Vehicles]]) and see what weapons they will be using against you at the start of a fight.

3. '''Know yourself.''' Get practice in the arenas or on the race tracks, learn what the real range of your weapons is and learn what your vehicles can do.

4. '''Be prepared.''' Get your crew loaded in, check your equipment to make sure nothing is broken, make sure your guns are loaded and ''bring more ammo than you think you'll need''. Then start asking around for a scout.

5. '''Stick with the group.''' This gives the bad guys more targets other than yourself. This also means if you get in trouble help is nearby.

6. '''Keep your distance.''' Keep two car lengths between you and everyone else. It gives you both room to maneuver and keeps the enemy weapons from damaging both of you with splash damage.

7. '''The more speed you have the more options you have.''' But there is such a thing as too much speed.

8. '''Listen up and stick to the plan.''' Unless ten turns in everyone decides the plan sucked. Then improvise! If your squad has no plan you may be trouble.

9. '''Friendly fire isn't very friendly.''' Use control-g to see everyone's ghosts and when in doubt call a timeout and ask.

10. '''Concentrate fire and communicate''' Let people know what you're shooting at so you can work together to bring down high threat vehicles faster. I.E. "I'm on the Mutant Marauder."

11. '''Just because it says Demoralized doesn't mean it's dead''' If you want to be sure they're out of the fight, keep firing until you see Heavy, Major or Massive concussion. Or they explode.

12. '''Keep in mind you're shooting at the money''' If you win you get their cars. If you shoot them up too much all you take home is scrap metal. It's a balance between survival and profitability.

13. '''Learn when to run.''' And when to surrender. Your most valuable resource is well trained personnel.

Armor Points per side/total: 18/72
Armor Toughness: Weak
Occupants: 6 persons
Capacity: 230 bulk

Huge amounts of space for those on a budget, however low engine capacity and weak armor limit its appeal for heavy firefights.

This `Grocery-Getter` might be a good choice for `Soccer Moms` with a penchant for running the dangerous missions between towns...... This chassis is a bit slow.

The new improved 2050 Chassis will now support an exposed 3.2 litre engine - but REMEMBER the toughness of this vehicle is only comparable with vans and trucks.

Salvaged from the remains of ice cream trucks that brought hope and joy to children before the Solar Apocalypse, these vehicles have turned into the armored personnel carriers and primary transports of Evan.

-------------------------------
With a standard 3.2L or upgrade to the V8, this van can run pretty fast.

The speed given with these engines will allow you to run from `most` of the threats you will face travelling between towns, while carrying some lucrative missions. You can also mount some HEAVY weaponry in this chassis.

This vehicle has the weakest armour in the game - it is designed to run trade only. As a combat vehicle, the Carrier Van will receive injuries from most other chassis types.

Engine enclosed/exposed: 25/30
Weapon Mounts: FRx2, REx2, LE, RI
Armor Points per side/total: 20/80
Armor Toughness: Strong
Occupants: 4 persons
Capacity: 90 bulk
Weight: 770

A commonly used subcompact for those ballsy individuals who like to go into combat hauling ass with their hair on fire.

The Sonic chassis makes the best choice in the subcompact group due to its overall capabilities. Able to contain a slightly larger engine that some of the other subcompacts for speed and end up with enough room to pack a smaller weapon or two with reloads or a large weapon, harsh language and a load of recoil.

The Sonic`s main strength compared to the other subcompacts is its armor allotment. It allows 5 points greater on each side and 20 greater total. Don`t stay in the line of fire too long though as like all small cars, the armor and chassis doesn`t last long under a sustained barrage.

Can house a maximum of a 1.2L engine enclosed or a 1.6L exposed.

Armor Points per side/total: 15/60
Armor Toughness: Strong
Occupants: 4 persons
Capacity: 90 bulk

An excellent subcompact car that drives well and doesn`t cost too much to buy or fix. With a 1L engine there`s room for a weapon or two.

However, the Racoon`s turning radius is surprisingly poor, so be careful when getting into close range dogfights with nimble vehicles - even with an exposed engine you`ll find yourself constantly out maneuvered and struggling to bring your weapons to bear. Consider a side mount.
