Helldivers 1:M5-32 HAV

“

Built on the M5 APC chassis, this Heavy Assault Vehicle still houses 4 Helldivers but is more heavily armed. Sporting a 90mm main cannon and two smaller support weapons, it is far better equipped to face more heavily armored enemies.

Gameplay Tips

• Compared to the faster, more nimble M5 APC, the M5-32 HAV is more heavily armed and armored, at rank 3 the front is more durable than TD-110 Bastion

• The sponson-mounted machine guns have a magazine capacity of 750 rounds each (1000 when upgraded to Mk2); the turret holds enough ammunition for 25 main cannon shots (50 when upgraded to Mk2).
  • Compared to the Helldiver-portable MG-94, vehicle-mounted machine guns have a 50% faster rate of fire.

• The M5-32 HAV sports the same 90mm cannon as the EXO-51 Lumberer Exosuit and the TD-110 Bastion, with the only differing stat being the ammo count.
• The HAV's cannon can destroy mission targets (Cyborg AA Guns, Bug Nests or Illuminate Beacons), thus an HAV is a viable alternative to the standard-issue NUX‑223 Hellbomb, especially if the mission has several target-destruction objectives.

• Vehicles and Exosuits will take a small amount of damage while passing through a deployed Anti-Personnel Barrier. The M5-32 HAV (when upgraded to Mk3) and the TD-110 Bastion are immune to this, however.

• Vehicles are larger than Hellpods, requiring more space to deploy. They can land anywhere within a fairly wide radius of the beacon that called it in. In rough terrain, this can lead to the vehicle being deployed on top of unsuspecting Helldivers.

• When calling in multiple stratagems, it is advisable to deploy any vehicles only after all equipment-bearing Hellpods have arrived. This is because Hellpods will instantly destroy any vehicle they land on.
