harbinger 1

The Harbinger is perhaps the hardest vehicle to manoeuvre but that doesn't make it useless. At a first glance it might feel uncontrollable, weak and slow. But on flat surfaces it's a very speedy vehicle, and by adding the unlimited booster * trick you can travel very far at a very high speed.

Harbinger statics:

Handling
The Harbinger has room for 3 players, one driver, one who controls the top rocket turret and one who controls the back energy cannon. In my eyes this one is more a transport vehicle since its guns are too hard to hit anything with. It's very seldom something appears behind the vehicle so the back energy cannon hardly comes to any use.

Since its maneuverability is poor, don’t take any risks by driving in the more bulky terrains on a map. It's easy to make the harbinger swing up in the air just because you're trying to climb a small hill. Just try to keep to the more flat parts, and never try to leap unless you're forced (or just want to have fun) because when it lands it will probably spin upside down or into any other twisted angle. If you find any really flat areas (example: the beach on sunsetbeach) use the booster, as long as you keep holding the booster down and don't turn, the harbinger will drive at a very high speed for a long distance!

Health and firepower
The harbinger can take more pain than the raptor, about 3 emp grenades 3 shock cores or 4 rockets. Keep in mind, when the vehicle has caught fire, get out of there immediately!

The top gun rockets are so slow going that it's almost impossible to hit anything that is moving, though this is a very good weapon for instant versus a juggernaut at distance. The rockets might be sluggish but can hit things which are very far away. The second turret sends out bullets of energy. Very effective against other vehicles and eats peoples armour. If you hit the ground, it will get really hot at that spot for a while and everything that walks or drives over it will get damaged. This gun fires really fast too so in certain situations it can be really good.
