Keep your vehicle useful beyond the first circle
Treat transport as a route option and a resource to protect.
Scout a candidate, then confirm it
The map displays extracted spawn candidates rather than guaranteed vehicles. Look for a usable vehicle early and confirm its condition and fuel in the match. Keep a backup candidate in mind if the first area is contested.
Park for the next departure
Use cover, avoid predictable sightlines, and park so the squad can leave quickly. Do not block every teammate's escape route. Check the next circle before abandoning transport for an optional fight.
Plan beyond a speed estimate
Travel time depends on terrain, vehicle condition, turns, scouting, and opponents. Compare routes with different detour allowances. If the line approaches a bridge or an open ridge, scout before turning the estimate into a commitment.
Turn it into a repeatable drill
- Confirm fuel and condition
- Park for a quick exit
- Budget scouting time
