Capable of firing up to six rounds in under three seconds, allowing the driver to quickly adjust their aim after their first shot Designed to have a modular turret that can be completely swapped out for other turrets types Its "Skyguard" turret is the most effective ground-to-air weapon on the battlefield, as it's fitted with 40mm cannons with an elevation range of 80 degrees Fastest ground vehicle, besides the quad, making it difficult to out run it
