An armored personnel carrier or APC is a world object in Fallout 76. A larger tracked version is available through Fallout 1st, and exists as a reskin for the survival tent.

Background[]

Main article: Armored personnel carrier

Deployed routinely across the United States during the Sino-American War, the APC was used for crowd control and to transport troops to key hotspots in the safety of its armored shell.^{[Non-game 1]} A number of these vehicles have been restored after the Great War and used by high technology factions, such as the Brotherhood First Expeditionary Force in Appalachia.^[1]

Characteristics[]

Main article: Armored personnel carrier

The APC is a six-wheeled armored combat vehicle designed for supporting infantry operations and transporting soldiers through the battlefield. Typically painted with olive drab camouflage, with seven number serials and the United States Armed Forces star painted on the sides and warning strip on the front side. It is tall with a forward driver's position sitting over the engine. The driver's seat is contained within a compartment isolated from the rear part of the vehicle, entered from the roof of the vehicle (accessible through steps cut into the hull of the vehicle). The troop section fitted with two benches on each side, storage labeled with numbers and instructions mandating that any troops in power armor must remain upright while in the vehicle.^[2]

The vehicle can carry six soldiers and two power armor units in this section and provide fire support to soldiers after they dismount ^{[Non-game 1]} with a 105mm gun^[3] in an autonomous dorsal turret and a pair of ball-mounted 76mm guns to the sides of the driver's cabin.^[3]

The APC was used for other purposes aside from troop transportation, including medical evacuation.^[4] Due to its shielding, it could also be used to transport radioactive waste, for example, in decontamination operations.^[5]

They were deployed routinely while the country was on a war footing, and can be found wrecked and looted, in and around key areas such as barracks and railway stations. Its heavy weapons and solid armor made it more akin to an Infantry Fighting Vehicle, and it was used as crowd control and to transport heavy troopers to key hotspots. When functional they were capable of transporting 6 soldiers and 2 power armor suits, making them spacious mobile platforms for deployment. Now they make excellent hiding holes, nesting spaces and barricades. Brave explorers can sometimes find stims or equipment in them, however they are as likely to anger anything lurking inside as they are to find a good haul."
