Alright, so it isn't the Marauder, which was my favorite vehicle in Planetside 1, but it's damn close. The Harasser is a three man buggy soon to be available to those warrior-poet denizens of Auraxis. It holds a diver, a gunner and one passenger in the back who has the ability to free-fire. Notably, it can hold a max as well increasing the firepower of the vehicle exponentially. Can we say awesome mobile AA? We sure can.

The Harasser is currently on the Planetside 2 test server for players to check out during testing times, so it's safe to say that all the specifics haven't been completely flushed out yet. For instance, you can currently equip some pretty awesome firepower to the top of this thing which might make it slightly overpowered when matched with its speed and drivability.

In any case, say hello to my main vehicle when this thing hits the live server any week now.

    It's about time. I knew Planetside 2 was missing a light vehicle for harassment, and I'm glad to see it showing some offensive capabilities as well.

    Looks and sounds like a warthog (puma) from halo. Just saying.

    Now putting my obvious lack of knowledge aside, this does look like it's going to make PS2 pretty damn fun. Getting around the map was a pain when I played as I was horrible at flying and the only thing I could get a handle on was one of those little 4 wheelers.

    And I could see them balancing this thing with it being very prone to blowing up should a direct hit from an aircraft or a tank hit it. Make it more of an annoying fly that will fuck shit up but one solid hit against the thing will take it out.

    I heard about people using this, and that the buggy is, well, buggy. The thing gets stuck worse than anything ever (Lightning tank), and given the terrain of Indarside, I've a feeling SOE is gonna be fixing this thing for a while.

    Haha wow you can even put a MAX on the back of it.
