Vehicle unique skill
This section will repeat what is already in the encyclopedia, but as it is not present in the Basic guide, i think it's ok to keep it here too.

Main vehicle
WIP
Crawler : equipped with explosive weapon. Weak against armor, use heat as escort
Hound : equipped with kinetic/electric/plasma weapon. Weak against fury shield, use explosive weapon as escort.
Prowler : Perfect vehicule to use on ghoul hunt, which trigger bonus on splatter.
Interceptors
All of them regenerate Fury shield
All of them equip bumper (thinkerer : armor, attack power, crit chance).
Hedgehog : Self-repair. Best Armor, Best HP, good to position in front of the crawler to prevent any frontal damage (include intercept obstacle, the crawler doesn't have self-repair and doesn't strafe fast enough), focus the thinkerer on his armor.
Falcon : Damage Aura.
Mustang : Minelayer. The only vehicle with a default rear arc, good to position behind the crawler to drop mine on followers.
Marauders
All of them have 360° firing arc. Do not waste this by using a light weapon on it.
All of them can equip suspension (thinkerer : attack power, crit chance, ammo capacity).
Devastator : spearthrower.
Sabre : Minelayer.
Ripper : Damage Aura.
Attack vehicles
All of them bring the ability to "Designate target"
All of them can equip ornament (thinkerer : attack power, squad crit chance, squad attack power).

Roach : Heat spec (+20%)
Support vehicles
WIP
Paladin : Wardrummer (squad regen fury shield) + self-repair.
Tank : Mekboy + Fuel scoop

Squad title
If you allocate specific weapon/vehicle to your squad, a squad title will be shown at the top.
I didn't find yet a combination which bring any bonus.

  • Blessed strikers :
  • Blessed marauders :
  • Tormented coyotes :
  • Tormented strikers :
  • Doomsday marauders :
  • Doomsday scourges :
  • Vengeful strikers :
  • Vengeful marauders :
  • Unholy strikers :
  • Hateful strikers :

The first part should be related to the weapon used.
The second part should be related to the vehicle used.
Maybe.
Sample formation
Formation "+" (Recommended)
H C D C D C M
H is an Hedgehog protecting the Crawler, able to intercept front danger.
C is the crawler in the middle.
D are devastator with a long range, meidum/heavy weapong with the 360°. Enemies coming from side can be attacked from long range, and have chance to get destroyed by obstacle. The devastator also have the range to support front and back battle.
M is the Mustang which is able to throw mine + use a weapon oriented to the good direction.

Crawler and Devastator have a native explosive weapon, so all your formation can use kinetic/heat weapon.

With this setup, i usually do not move devastator, but only micro manage the front and back interceptor. Interceptor will intercept an incoming ennemy and manage to get him in the range of a devastator/crawler while preventing him to damage these.
And it's working fine.

Formation "x"
X X C C C X X
I'm thinking about a formation in "x", which could allow to engage a battle from any direction with 2 vehicle instead of one. (ex : if attacked from front, send the 2 top escort. if attacked from left, send the 2 left, etc...)
This is a bit complex to setup and i didn't get any good result to share for now.

Formation "Ghoul hunt"
X X C X X C C
The idea here is to cover the maximum width to hit all the ghoul and complete the mission as fast as possible.
TODO : try with prowler andd ripper as escort, to use a full set of saw, deadly in close combat. (most of ghoul are melee unit)
