Overview
The Recon Buggy is the fastest ground unit and the cheapest thing with a gun. Its machine gun is only dangerous to light targets, but its vision is what you are paying for.
How to use
Build one early and send it around the map: find the enemy base, count their extractors, and spot the lane their army will use. Later, a pack of buggies kills engineers and raids undefended extractors, then leaves before armor arrives. Never fight tanks or turrets with it.
Counters
Light Tanks, MG Turrets and anything with an autocannon shred it. It is useless against heavy armor and cannot shoot aircraft at all.
