This anti-materiel rifle is capable of devastating long-range accuracy. Thanks to its custom cartridge, it can hit targets from over 2000 meters away with minimal degradation in the bullet's ballistic performance.

[h2]VEHICLE TYPES[/h2]
Vehicles are critical to battle strategy and immersion in World War 3. You can use them to move around maps, retreat, or push your advantage, and there are specific vehicle types specialized in combat and surveillance, too:
  • Aerial Drones: Survey the battlefield with these eyes in the sky.
  • Land Drones: Monitor proceedings surreptitiously from ground level.
  • Transport Vehicles: Move quickly to an objective, to aid your squad, or get out of hot water.
  • Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs): Outgun enemy squads with heavier firepower.
  • Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs): Get extra protection as you go toe-to-toe with heavily-armed opponents.
  • Tank Destroyers: Obliterate enemy vehicles and other targets.
  • Main Battle Tanks: Roll up in one of history’s most iconic assault vehicles for fierce, hard-hitting tank combat.

Some vehicles are unmanned, while others can even carry several squadmates. Be sure to assign roles such as driver and gunner for maximum efficiency and preparedness.

Also, be wary of the strengths and weaknesses of your chosen transport. Vehicles’ sides and rears are more susceptible to damage, while the front of a vehicle is typically more heavily armored. Keep match-ups in mind too: while an IFV may be able to take out enemies on foot, a tank boasting thicker armor and heavier firepower will make short work of it.

You should also keep an eye out for other threats like AT mines, and enemy soldiers wielding rocket launchers or air strikes. Many of these threats can be countered but may leave you open to threats of other kinds. Adapt your strategy accordingly!



[h2]WHERE TO FIND VEHICLES IN WORLD WAR 3[/h2]
You can find vehicles in many places across certain maps. Keep an eye out, because it could just shift the tide of battle! You can also airdrop vehicles into battle as part of your Strikes loadout, so be sure to prepare well before every match.

If one team reaches 2,000 Points in a match, both teams will receive a Main Battle Tank as a reinforcement! This will only drop if a team doesn’t already have two vehicles on the map. As soon as a slot frees up, say hello to your new ride!



[h2]VEHICLE CUSTOMIZATION[/h2]
Just like with your weapons and gear, vehicles can be customized using Blueprints. You can unlock new Blueprints using different free and premium methods to make vehicles truly yours, and make your mark on the battlefield.

Even without additional skins or modifications, every vehicle is brought to life using reference material such as accurate blueprints and through careful research of the original models and prototypes. We hope you enjoy the commitment to detail and realism.
