Without vehicles, people who managed to stay alive through the apocalypse most likely wouldn’t survive for too long. Thankfully, even despite the step back that humanity faced, oil extraction still takes place, and diesel machinery comes to the rescue. But let’s face it, these recycled vehicles wouldn't win a beauty contest, but still might have their own appeal. Let’s take a look at a few of the enemy vehicle designs. The Boar Charger, designed to ram and smash enemies, is heavy, compact, and ready to jump over even the highest dunes. The front of the car was reinforced with metal spikes and a battering ram, while the back had a powerful engine and a nitro booster.

Resembling a skeleton of a large animal. The wheels are spiked and can crush anything in their way. This vehicle is not very fast or agile, but it can intimidate and frighten anyone who sees it. It is a symbol of the raider's brutality and savagery. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44423194/3be4e52c786aaf8d65962e2b1b60b2882ea7006a.png[/img] Spiker is a vehicle that no one wants to touch. It is said that the raiders who drive it often display the corpses of their enemies on the roof, impaled by countless spikes. The intercooler is fused with a large-caliber, twin-barrel machine gun that unleashes destruction across the wasteland. Spiker is fast and agile, able to dodge obstacles and pursue its prey. These are just a few concept designs of the enemy vehicles, but how will you actually survive all those raiders' machinery?

Your Caravan won’t be the fastest or most agile, but through upgrades and supported vehicles will over time get a chance to survive more intense fights. The good news is that this won’t be a free-for-all fight, because there will also be a supporting vehicle, enhancing your tactical capabilities. You will keep full control of all vehicles, and you can also assign your crew members to different ones.
