Customizations

The Magrider is the main battle tank (MBT) of the Vanu Sovereignty. While it's main gun is not as powerful as the New Conglomerate Vanguard and does not have a fire rate as fast as the Terran Republic Prowler, it relies on its maneuverability, Magbooster turbo boost system, and low arc main gun in order to hopefully out maneuver and destroy its enemies. Like all other vehicles, it may be outfitted with unlocked weapons to either make the tank more versatile or specialized according to loadout.

Magrider Strategy Edit

The Magrider is an ideal choice for long-range duels, where its strafe lets it effectively dodge incoming projectiles. Especially with the Saron HRB secondary, this is an almost ideal sniper tank, capable of reaching places many other tanks cannot and delivering good damage to distant targets.

However, it must be kept in mind that the Magrider has less front armor and damage than the NC Vanguard and lacks the speed of the TR Prowler. If it's to be used for close-up combat, at least two levels of Rival Combat Chassis will greatly increase survivability, allowing the Magrider to actually coast over enemy vehicles to reach their weak rear armor with minimal risk to itself.
