Destroying the APC

There are several places that you can take the Bradley APC down from. If you are using rockets to take it down, it would be preferable to get on a roof. However, if you are taking it down using Timed Explosive Charges, it is recommended to take it down from one of the many buildings or the bulletproof glass at the entrance to the launchsite.

The Bradley APC can only be destroyed with explosive damage. Below is a damage chart that shows the amount of damage and amount is needed to destroy it.

Salvaging

After the fire has gone away and the tank has cooled down, it is possible to salvage the tank for charcoal, metal fragments and high quality metal. The amount that you get depends on the type of tool that you are using to farm it. The chart below shows the amount of materials you get for each tool.

Bradley basics

The Bradley APC is officially in the game, and it is a force to be reckoned with. Patrolling the roads around Rocket Factory, this APC fires upon anyone it see’s (naked or otherwise). They spawn about every 15 minutes, and add an exciting dynamic to the newest dungeon.

Keep in mind, as with all first iterations, much of this is subject to change. The Bradley currently has some issues - mainly with getting stuck - so expect more improvements over the coming weeks.

How it attacks

The Bradley has two attack methods: machine gun and rockets. It’ll start burst firing the machine gun within a second or so of spotting someone, and will chime in with an autocannon barrage of 4 to 5 shots shortly thereafter. The aggro range appears to be about 50 meters give or take, so keep your distance unless you’re ready to engage.

How to kill it

The Bradley APC currently has 500 health and can be killed a couple different ways. Your best bet is to grab your rocket launcher - 3 direct hits will do the trick. Also, explosive ammo does do several HP damage per hit, but it’s going to take a lot of clips to take the Bradley down.

Alternatively, 1 C4 or a bunch of satchel charges will blow it up, but getting close enough to to place them would be difficult.

Gimme the Loot!

The Bradley is very similar to the Attack helicopter when it comes to looting. Once destroyed, the APC bursts into flames which burn for several minutes. After the fire burns out, you’ll find 1 or 2 high value crates in which you’ll find C4, rockets, M249, ammo, etc.

Once you’ve looted the crates, you can mine the debris (~11 pieces) with a pickaxe to get some extra charcoal, metal fragments and the occasional high quality metal.

How long does it take for Bradley crates?

They spawn about every 15 minutes, and add an exciting dynamic to the newest dungeon.

How many C4 does it take to break Bradley?

The Bradley now has 1000 health instead of 500, meaning it'll take six rockets or two C4 to destroy it. It will also automatically heal itself over 60 seconds if it has not been attacked for 5 minutes. This means you can no longer cherry pick Bradleys from failed battles.

How long does it take for Bradley to stop burning?

As long as you like! Each bisquette burns for 20 minutes, so once you've loaded up your bisquette feeder tube you have 8 hours before you'll need to load it up again.
