Vehicle Strategy

You’ve got your ride and some Biofuel and you’re ready to win this thing, now what. Well just having the car gives you a large advantage over anyone who doesn’t so congratulations. The way in which you use it now comes down to your individual playstyle, but here are some general strategies and tips for using the car that you can’t go wrong with.

• Don’t get shot. Vehicles are delicate things. Even a clips worth of M9 bullets is enough to deal heavy damage to a fully functional car.
• Use your mobility to avoid heavy firefights. Let the other players kill each other while you use your car to stick near the gas for cover. When the cloud starts moving in, you’re high speed will allow you to stick deadly close to the toxic haze which will keep you out of the center of the safe zone, a terrible place to be.
• Cars can be used for extra storage. Stow any extra gear in your car to save space in your inventory. Extra helmets and body armor are always useful but take up a lot of space. Throw them in the trunk.
• Use your car for cover. It’s tough to take the hits, but when it comes down to living or losing your car, there’s no real contest.
• Splatter kills. Do not forget the importance of the splatter kills. If you’ve got enough momentum, you can one hit kill pedestrians with your car, saving valuable ammunition and allowing you to stay safe in your whip.
• Lock it up. When you jump out of your car to loot or go hunting, take a crucial piece of the car with you when you go so no one can just jump in it a race off while you’re not looking.
