Crushing is a mechanic in Tempest Rising whereby vehicles can crush infantry and, in some cases, other vehicles.

Mechanics

Vehicles generally have 3 different classes: Heavy, Medium, or Light.

  • Light vehicles (such as the Sentinel or Havoc) cannot crush anything.
  • Heavy vehicles (such as the Tempest Rig or the MCV) can crush other non-heavy vehicles, including medium vehicles such as the Boar or Hunter Tank. They can also crush all infantry.
  • Medium vehicles (such as the Boar or Hunter Tank) cannot crush vehicles, but can crush infantry except Heavy Infantry (such as the Riot Trooper or the Demolitionist).

Notable exceptions to the above include:

  • GDF Harvesters cannot be crushed by anything, including even Heavy Vehicles. They can crush infantry, but cannot crush Heavy Infantry.[1]
  • Hover vehicles such as the Shieldmaiden and Scrambler cannot crush nor be crushed at all.[2]
