The Flash is a light and cheap two-man ATV used to quickly transport infantry to the front lines or perform flanking maneuvers. It can also be certed to use a cloaking ability, provided that the driver is an Infiltrator.

Flash Strategy LinksEdit

• Tech Plant Advanced Offensive Strategy
  1. The speed of the Flash ATV can be used at the beginning of the assault to get troops quickly between theTech Plant's two outposts and the main plant.
• Tech Plant Advanced Defensive Strategy
  1. When defending the Tech Plant, Flash ATVs are valuable transport vehicles for defending troops to react and move easily throughout the entire base. Several facility entrances are also wide enough to drive right into and even drive up the stairs.
  2. A fully certed Scout Radar gives you 100 meters(radius) of enemy detection, enough to cover an entire Tech Plant. With a Scout Radar equipped Flash, enemy sunderers can be located through enemy density, and destroyed.
• Amp Station Defensive Strategy
  1. Inside the Amp Stations there is hardly any room for vehicles to move around so the Flash is good to get troops inside fast.
