·Multi-source verified (90/90)

The Bradley APC is a heavily armored tank that patrols the Launch Site monument. It is extremely dangerous and guards some of the best loot in the game.

Appearance & Behavior:

  • Permanently patrols the Launch Site.
  • Fires a powerful cannon and machine guns at players.
  • Has multiple weak points that can be targeted.

Loot:

  • High Quality Metal, Rifle Bodies, SMG Bodies, Tech Trash, C4, Rockets, M249 (rare).
  • Drops 3-4 crates upon destruction.

Strategy:

  1. Preparation: Requires at least 3-4 players, full Metal Armor, and high-tier weapons (AKs, LR-300s, Rocket Launchers). Bring a large amount of 5.56 Rifle Ammo (1500+ per player) and 8-12 Rockets. Medical supplies are essential.
  2. Weak Points: Target the engine on the back (most vulnerable), the tracks, and the turret.
  3. Cover: Utilize the numerous buildings and structures at Launch Site for cover. The Bradley's cannon can destroy most player-built structures.
  4. Rocket Strategy: Rockets are highly effective. Designate one or two players to focus on hitting the Bradley with rockets while others suppress it with rifle fire.
  5. Phases: The Bradley has different phases. As it takes damage, it will smoke more and eventually catch fire before exploding.
  6. Looting: The Bradley's loot crates are often scattered. Be prepared for immediate PvP from other players drawn to the fight.

Destroying the Bradley APC is one of the most challenging PvE feats in Rust, but the rewards are substantial. It's a true test of teamwork and combat prowess.
