M5-32 HAV

Built on the M5 APC chassis, this Heavy Assault Vehicle still houses 4 Helldivers but is more heavily armed. Sporting a 90mm main cannon and two smaller support weapons, it is far better equipped to face more heavily armored enemies.

Gameplay Tips

 * The HAV's cannon can destroy mission targets (Cyborg AA Guns, Bug Nests or Illuminate Beacons) instead of the standard-issue NUX‑223 Hellbomb.


 * Compared to the faster, more nimble M5 APC, the M5-32 HAV is more heavily armed and armored.


 * The sponson-mounted machine guns have a magazine capacity of 750 rounds each (1000 when upgraded); the turret holds enough ammunition for 25 main cannon shots (50 when upgraded to Mk2).
 * Compared to the Helldiver-portable MG-94, vehicle-mounted machine guns have a 50% faster rate of fire.


 * Vehicles are larger than Hellpods, requiring more space to deploy. They can land anywhere within a fairly wide radius of where the beacon that called it in. In rough terrain, this can lead to the vehicle being deployed on top of unsuspecting Helldivers.


 * When calling in multiple stratagems, it is advisable to deploy any vehicles until after the Hellpods carrying equipment have arrived. A single Hellpod will instantly destroy any vehicle it lands on, causing it to explode.
