Bradley Presence

The Bradley APC is an NPC-controlled Infantry Fighting Vehicle hazard which patrols the Rocket Launch Site and the Materials Extraction Site (Hapis Island only). It is designed as a counterweight to the richness of the loot and seems likely to displace that Monument from favor with players who cannot deal with its challenges.

Harvest That Tank!

The remains of the Bradley APC can also be harvested using any Pickaxe and will yield Charcoal, Metal Fragments and High Quality Metal. It is highly recommended to build a temporary 1x2 base nearby with a bed, TC, and boxes for food, water, medical supplies, and several radiation suits.

Ammo Needed

Breakdown of the Ammo needed to destroy the Bradley Tank which spawns with default Health of 1,000HP: 3 C4 / 11 Basic Rockets / 7 High Velocity Rockets / 573 Explisive Ammo using 3-AK47's (2 will break) / 580 Explosive Ammo using M249 /

Hut Hideout Method

The road that connects the launch area to the building area has a gateway with concrete barriers and metal posts. This gateway has a "hut" with glass windows in it. The APC CANNOT see you through those windows. Get in the hut. Either grab the APC's attention or just wait. When the APC comes along, crouch, side-strafe out of the door, and then loft a single C4 at an angle of about 30 degrees onto the APC as it goes by. When the 1st one blows, the APC may turn around and come back to facilitate the next charge. If it doesn't turn around, just wait for it to come back. It is quite possible to kill the APC in this manner without ever being seen, much less targeted by the APC. Just another day at the office.

C4

Definetly the cheapest and easiest way to defeat the bradley, but you need to be very careful not to die and lose your C4 while sneaking up to the tank to place your C4.

Basic Rockets

Rocket Laucnhers have the longest reload time other than the M249. Duck while reloading then pop out for that sweet shot. Bring extra rockets in case you miss.

High Velocity Rockets

4 Less Rockets than using Basic Rockets. Bring extra rockets in case you miss.

580

M249 Explosive 5.56

M249 while powerfull will be difficult to hold it down and not miss half your shots.

F1 grenade

Takes 40 F1 Grenandes, but Kobe himself couldn't land all 40 without missing. You better bring EXTRA!!

Explosive Satchels

Satchel Charges are known for some being Duds, bring Extra!

191

Beancan Grenande

You will need to land 191 of these expliosive Beancans to destroy the Bradely!!

573

AK47 Explosive 5.56

Ok going at the Bradley Tank with a gun is going to take some skill. Make sure to clear the area of other NPC's prior to starting the Bradley fight to decrease chance of one sneaking up on you.

"It is worth mentioning that the 'Bradley APC' is able to shoot at almost all angles. This means heights will NOT protect you in the case of exposed scaffolding and ladders."

"Killing the 'Bradley APC' is a rough task to take upon due to its extremely high damage and armor-piercing explosive shells. There are many locations within the launch site which players will be safe from the 'Bradley APC' which include warehouses, silos, tunnels, landfills, and the majority of the construction building."

"Keep in mind that the APC-Crates will burn for a while before you can loot them. Other players will be attracted by the Crash Site Icon shown on the map. So you should have some gear ready to go to defend yourself."

Rust Player OG

Playing on Crime Wave Rust, Solo

"The 'Bradley APC' currently has 2 modes of firepower: a machine gun and large-caliber cannon. The cannon fires at close - far range, and the machine gun will only fire within close proximity."

Blown Up by Bradley

Player, Play and Learn

"The 'Bradley APC' is an AI controlled vehicle which currently patrols the launch site monument. It has a designated path that it follows in searching the monument for players and will diverge from it slightly if a player is to obtain its aggression."
