Virtual Harassment: Planetside 2 Update adds new Harasser buggy
SOE continues to roll out patch after patch for their sci-fi MMOFPS Planetside 2 which consistently have added new weapons, armor, balance tweaks and facility reworks. Update 8 adds the first new vehicle dubbed the Harasser, a buggy with room for 3 -including Max suits- which when equipped with a turbo, is quite possibly the game's most ridiculously hilarious vehicle yet (with the Flash a close second). The Harasser allows players to quickly traverse the map in small groups while providing quick strike firepower from both the top mounted gun and the rear seated passenger.
There is a lot more to the update other than the new vehicle, but a large majority of it boils down to weapon balance tweaks and UI improvements. All good things to have in an update, but come on it doesn't hold a candle to that buggy. The update also adds 3 faction specific MAX anti-vehicle weapons and new cosmetic helmets, including one for the TR which eerily resembles a stormtrooper.

You will have to pay for early access, though.

The update is free if you own the game, but if not, it's on sale on Steam.

If you decide to buy it, it's on a deep sale, too.

And the devs have temporarily disabled Combat Blink, just for a little test.
Best combo yesterday when it was patched after most players got on there was a squad of 8 AT/GL/MG take out a Cap Convoy after they try to advance to the next área to cap.......i was astonished to see such tactic used and make the Cap units (couple Lightnings, several Vanguards, 5 sundies and some3 or 4 flashes) suffer severe casualties. Till now best update yet and good Weap update for some bugs ingame.
