Overview

In-game description

Single module armored cockpit for a driver and one passenger.

Roads are where roamers wait for cars. A plain cockpit falls apart fast when someone opens up from a rock by the highway, and this one is built for exactly that: 700 durability, almost double the 360 of the standard cockpit.

You pay with progress more than materials. It needs a Level 3 workbench and five high quality metal, and the wood drops out of the recipe. For a group that already has a Level 3 bench, that is pocket change. For a solo still on Level 2 it is simply out of reach.

Watch out

There is no engine in it. An armoured front on a car with nothing driving it is an expensive shell, so leave a slot for an engine module.

Picture a four-slot car carrying a team to Launch Site. The armoured front soaks the first spray from the ambush long enough for the driver to floor it, and an armored passenger module behind it does the same for the people in the back. Armour is heavy, though, so give a build like that a strong engine setup.
