The A.N.V.I.L., short for Advanced Nanite Vehicle Insertion Logistics, is a global war asset available to outfits. There are three different types of A.N.V.I.L, all costing a varied amount of Auraxium and with varying crafting times.

Calling down an A.N.V.I.L. drops a large crate from orbit at the target location, allowing any player on that faction to consume the asset to spawn one of the appropriate vehicle type for the A.N.V.I.L. size. Calling in an A.N.V.I.L. drop on Oshur or any other area with deep water warrants extra considerations. A.N.V.I.Ls are (rather ironically) buoyant, and will come to rest on top of the water.

Any nearby players will see an icon on the minimap (smallpx) showing the exact location of an inbound A.N.V.I.L, and a blue outline of the imminent crate is shown in the world until the asset lands. A.N.V.I.Ls can be destroyed using any weapon except knives and can be shot at while on the ground or while they are dropping from orbit.

A.N.V.I.Ls of all sizes last for two minutes after touching down if not destroyed or consumed first.
