Battlefield 4 Guide › Second Assault

Vehicles

In addition to many returning vehicles from Battlefield 4, Second Assault adds two familiar vehicles from past installments including the speedy DPV. The DPV has been a franchise staple since Battlefield 2 and the nostalgia-driven Second Assault marks the perfect place for its return. This versatile vehicle allows for great movement across the desert sands for up to three players, while the addition of a mounted grenade launcher increases its potency. The DPV is a neutral vehicle, meaning that it spawns for the US, Chinese and Russian teams.

DPV

Designed as a fast attack vehicle for Special Operations units, the DPV is known for its lightweight yet rugged construction. While it’s not effective against armored vehicles, it poses a significant threat to infantry.

Field Notes

What the DPV (Desert Patrol Vehicle) lacks in armor it makes up for in speed and agility. Like the other light vehicles, the DPV is best utilized for high-speed flanking attacks, ideal for raiding distant control points during Conquest matches. The open cockpit design offers zero protection against small arms fire, so avoid driving through large concentrations of enemy infantry. Instead, stay off-road, moving through the less-traveled areas of the map to avoid enemy vehicles and mines.

Skid Loader

The Skid Loader is a small four-wheeled construction vehicle capable pushing or carrying material with its front-mounted bucket. These compact vehicles are extremely agile and maneuverable, making them easy to use in crowded construction sites.

Field Notes

The Skid Loader can usually be found on maps with construction sites. These vehicles are not affiliated with either side and spawn independently, regardless of which team controls nearby flags. Although it has no weapons, the Skid Loader can be used as a light transport, capable of carrying three soldiers at a decent speed. The view from the cramped cockpit is rather limited so always switch to an external view when driving one of these vehicles.
