User blog:Luperza/Driver’s Ed: Tips for Maneuvering Vehicles of Auraxis.

By: Erin Oakley



Ground vehicles are a key component of victory in PlanetSide 2. From the speedy Harasser to the formidable two-person battle tanks, there’s something for every play style and situation. But are you practicing proper vehicle etiquette? Brush up with these handy tips and avoid Auraxian road rage:



Do: Wait your turn to resupply at the Ammo Silo.

Don’t: Try to make the line go faster by tank-mining the guy in front of you.



Do: Park your damaged Harasser by a friendly Engineer; they might repair it for you!

Don’t: Park your damaged Harasser on a friendly Engineer. (Enemy Engineers are totally fair game though.)





Do: Try equipping one of the new vehicle horns to let people know you’re coming through.

Don’t: Think that yelling “BEEP BEEP” in proximity chat is going to cut it.



Do: Experiment with crazy stunts on your Flash. How much air can you get?

Don’t: See how many times you can roll your Sunderer down a hill… with your whole squad inside.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(222,224,223);font-family:Arial;font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:21.111112594604492px;">Do: Make sure all the MAXes in your squad have a ride. They can’t pull their own vehicles, and those suits aren’t meant for long-distance running.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(222,224,223);font-family:Arial;font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:21.111112594604492px;">Don’t: Pull the old “let them almost get close enough to get in before flooring it and driving off” trick. Giant robots have feelings, too!

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(222,224,223);font-family:Arial;font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:21.111112594604492px;">

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(222,224,223);font-family:Arial;font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:21.111112594604492px;">Do: Let the driver in a two-person vehicle know if you’re out of ammo.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(222,224,223);font-family:Arial;font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:21.111112594604492px;">Don’t: Wait to tell the driver until you’re face-to-face with an enemy tank.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(222,224,223);font-family:Arial;font-size:13.333333969116211px;line-height:21.111112594604492px;">And finally, do: check out the in-game depot for vehicle camos, hood ornaments, horns, lumifiber trim, and everything you need to roll out in style.
