Dino Squad Game Wiki: Vehicle Control and Gameplay Mechanics

In Dino Squad, mastering vehicle control is crucial to success on the battlefield. This article will guide you through the various mechanics involved in operating vehicles, from ammunition selection to seat switching.

Ammunition Selection

When engaging enemy armor or vehicles, it's essential to choose the right ammunition. The AP rounds are effective against armored targets, while HE or HEAT rounds are better suited for taking out infantry. Many heavy vehicles come equipped with both AP and HE rounds, allowing you to adapt your strategy accordingly.

Turret Control

The WASD keys control traverse and pitch on most vehicle turrets, except for certain exceptions like the KPVT, NSV-T, PKT turrets, and open turrets. Some vehicles also feature a stabilizing view mode that can be activated by pressing Z, which helps to reduce camera shake.

Gunner Seat and Zoom Mode

When operating a gunner seat with zoom mode, press Q to zoom in and get a better view of your target. This feature is particularly useful when engaging enemy aircraft or distant targets.

Vehicle Speed and Traction

Some vehicles have the ability to limit their speed, which can improve traction and stability on slippery terrain. To access this feature, hold down the Shift key while driving.

Engine Control

To start the engine of a vehicle, ensure that you've assigned a keyboard key to the 'Vehicle toggle engine' option in the settings menu (default E). Pressing and holding E will allow you to turn the engine on and off. However, be aware that this can result in reduced effectiveness when soloing vehicles, as it may take time for the vehicle to get moving or respond to threats.

Seat Switching and Vehicle Entering/Exiting

Switching between seats inside a vehicle is not instantaneous and requires some time. Additionally, you cannot occupy a passenger seat, as kicking players from non-essential seats is not possible.

Kicking Players from Vehicles

To kick someone from a vehicle seat, simply switch to the seat they're occupying using the F1-F10 keys. You'll briefly see a list of current passengers before being able to remove them from the vehicle. However, this can only be done if the target player is not part of your squad.

Vehicle Operations

To enter, exit, rearm, or switch kits off a vehicle, press and hold F. To drive a vehicle, you must first claim it by entering the driver's seat and starting the engine.

By mastering these vehicle control mechanics, you'll be better equipped to dominate on the battlefield in Dino Squad. Remember to adapt your strategy based on the situation and choose the right ammunition for the job. Happy gaming!
