Best Vehicle is the Battle Tank

The best vehicle for Sand Land is none other than the Battle Tank, your very first vehicle! The Battle Tank takes the top spot by simply having the ability to scale up until the later portions of the game.

Furthermore, the Battle Tank is one of the most durable and customizable out of all the available vehicles, letting the player do creative builds while relatively staying safe!

Tier List Explanation by Vehicle

Battle Tank

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The first vehicle you unlock, the Battle Tank, sticks with you throughout your playthrough by scaling well into the late game! The Battle Tank achieves this due to its weaponry and durability, so you will often use the Battle Tank during combat encounters.

Furthermore, the Battle Tank is one of the most customizable vehicles in the game. You can configure it to solely deal damage, build it for breaking down enemy vehicles, or have a little bit of mobility for kiting. Either way, the Battle Tank will explosively perform!

Battle Bot

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Battlebot is the clear upgrade of the Battle Armor, sporting more damage and durability than its counterpart while still holding its best facets. The Battle Bot is infamous for its ability to be a boss melter while having a wide variety of options that can suit your playstyle.

Battle Bot Best Builds

Hoverjet

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Hoverjet is the hovering variant of the motorbike that sports rockets as their primary weapon. Being that it is a hovering vehicle, it covers deep waters and land, making it the best vehicle for traveling.

The Hoverjet is also the fastest vehicle and can shoot from all angles while moving, making it the most deadly in mobile combat.

Hopper

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Hopper is the mid-game upgrade to the clunkiness of the Jump-bot. The Hopper is the best in-door vehicle due to its size, maneuverability, speed, and better weapons over the Jump-bot!

Hopper Best Builds and How to Unlock

Battle Armor

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Battle Armor, during the mid-game, is the best vehicle to fight bosses with. With high durability and its ability to dish out massive damage while dodging during close combat, the Battle Armor is unmatched in close-quarters combat scuffle!

Hovertank

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Hovertank is the hovering variant of the Battle Tank. While it dishes out the same damage as the Battle Tank and can hover, it loses some durability and its ability to use Nitro. Having less mobility and durability hurts this otherwise capable vehicle.

Dirt Buggy

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Dirt Buggy, during the mid-game, is a strong mobile combat vehicle! With speed faster than a motorbike and strong offensive capabilities with its rocket launcher, the Dirt Buggy is the glass cannon of the Sand Land vehicles!

Dirt Buggy Best Builds and How to Unlock

Uniride

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Uniride can be considered the most unique vehicle here as it can switch between two modes. Its primary weapon is the homing missiles, which remove the need to aim and are great for flying enemies.

However, while the potential is there, the Uniride is held back by its slow movement speed, mediocre damage, and lack of variety apart from its two vehicular modes.

Uniride Best Builds and How to Unlock

Hovercar

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Hovercar is the introduction to vehicles that have hovering capabilities. The Hovercar deals significant damage and is easy to maneuver, but it is horridly slow and much less durable, outshined by other hovering vehicles.

Hovercar Best Builds and How to Unlock

Hoverscooter

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Hoverscooter is a take on fast hovering vehicles. With how late in the game you get access to this vehicle, it is underwhelming. While it is fast, the Hoverscooter is not durable. Its primary weapon is also the grenade launcher, which deals poor damage.

Jump-bot

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Jump-bot is the first means for Beelzebub to reach high places. While it does its job well, the drawback and reason it is in the C-tier is due to its slow movement, linear aiming, and its primary weapon.

Jump-Bot Best Builds and How to Unlock

Car

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Car is the best vehicle for traveling in the early game, even exceeding the motorbike's speed if built correctly.

The Car is the first vehicle with a homing missile primary weapon. This mechanic gives the Car an easy solution for flying enemies, which makes Pterano Wing farming much simpler during the early game.

Car Best Builds and How to Unlock

Motorbike

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Motorbike is essentially the introduction to traveling vehicles, being the most light and fast during the early game. However, its linear aim, poor damage, and weapon choice of the shotgun limit it down to the bottom of C-tier.

Motorbike Best Builds and How to Unlock

Raptor

Damage	Defense	Speed	Control

The Raptor is the fill-in for transportation during the first few hours when you only have the Battle Tank as your vehicle. It cannot attack, is much slower than the Motorbike, and is just a temporary vehicle during the early game.

Tier List Criteria

Vehicle Tier Explanation
S Tier	The best of the best, the cream of the crop. The vehicles included in this tier are known for their ability to trivialize the game due to their strength, versatility, and customizability.
A Tier	The vehicles included here are the strongest in their specializations while having decent variety and customization.
B Tier	The vehicles in the B Tier are decent picks for certain situations. While not the strongest, they may be stronger in terms of damage, speed, or customizations
C Tier	The vehicles in the C Tier, while viable, are easily replaceable by the options in the upper tiers. They only cover their niches and are outscaled by other options. Mostly, introductory vehicles belong here.
D Tier	Merely outshined by all of the vehicles of Sand Land. What it does, every vehicle does better.
