To all Helldivers fighting on the front lines, Super Earth has delivered a substantial wave of reinforcements. Ministry of Science has once again dispatched a fresh batch of advanced weaponry and vehicles to the theater, and it is hoped that you will put them to good use in the cause of galactic liberation.
Let us focus first on the two new vehicles introduced in Update 6.3, both of which are veritable beasts on the battlefield. They offer not only formidable firepower but also critical support capabilities. In any case, they move far faster than you can on foot, which makes them invaluable for escaping the indiscriminate barrages that sometimes rain down from your own squadmates. So, what exactly sets these two new rides apart? Let us break down their respective strengths.

M-104 Incinerator FRV
M-104 Incinerator FRV is armored to the teeth. Protection extends across its sides, front, rear, and even over its tires. Notably, those tires are exceptionally durable, capable of absorbing a remarkable amount of punishment before they finally blow out.
Armor
To begin with, the entire hull is completely immune to weapons with Light Armor Penetration. Light-penetrating rounds simply ricochet off the doors, and occasionally stray shots will bounce back - if an enemy happens to be close enough, they might even be struck by the deflected bullet. This resilience is not limited to the doors; the undercarriage handles light attacks with equal ease, performing impressively.
The tires, however, tell a different story. On the original FRV, the tires would burst almost instantly after about five hits. For Incinerator FRV, though, it took nearly an entire magazine from a Light Armor Penetrating weapon just to damage the tires to roughly three-quarters of their capacity. Comparing the two, the durability advantage of Incinerator FRV is immediately obvious.
When testing with a Medium Armor Penetrating weapon, about five rounds are sufficient to punch through and destroy the door in a matter of seconds. This indicates that the front and side doors only offer medium-grade protection, while the rear section actually falls into the heavy armor category.
As for the front windshield of M-104 Incinerator FRV, it also provides medium protection, but there is a notable weak point: if a bullet happens to pass through the small observation slit at the front, it can directly injure the occupants inside - this is the only way to deal damage through that window. Additionally, the front bumper shares the same medium armor rating.
The rear of the vehicle, especially the tailgate area, is clad in heavy armor. Neither Light Armor Penetrating nor Medium Armor Penetrating weapons can inflict any damage there.
Flamethrower Turret
The flamethrower turret on M-104 Incinerator FRV behaves quite uniquely. At close range, the flames appear to pass right through enemies, and while they do deal damage, the process is painfully slow. Even when engaging a fleshy target at point-blank range, it takes a long time to bring them down - hardly an effective performance.
In contrast, attacking from a distance changes everything. From range, you can completely destroy the same target in only about five to seven seconds. Therefore, for rapid elimination, keeping your distance is the optimal strategy when using this turret.
In fact, Incinerator FRV's turret eliminates enemies faster than EXO-51 Lumberer Exosuit. Lumberer Exosuit requires 50 Medals to unlock, whereas Incinerator FRV is far easier to acquire, making it a much more cost-effective option. That said, this might tilt the balance a little too far, and Super Earth may well dial back the turret's damage in a future patch.
M-103 Supply FRV
M-103 Supply FRV features a supply backpack mounted at the rear, which is its defining characteristic. In terms of design, Supply FRV closely resembles the original FRV - apart from the rear structure, the body shape is nearly identical. It accommodates one driver and up to three passengers.
The doors are a perfect match as well. Upon closer inspection, you will notice minor differences, such as updated tail lights, redesigned headlamps, and an extra fuel canister on the right side of the supply variant - none of which appear on the standard model. All in all, aside from a few cosmetic tweaks, the base chassis remains largely the same. The biggest distinction is that you can retrieve eight supply packs from the rear, a feature that has been confirmed.
Armor
The entire body of Supply FRV is only light-armor protected, so it can be destroyed much more quickly than Incinerator FRV. Nevertheless, the base health of its standard FRV armor has been increased to 2400, so it is not so fragile that it falls apart at the first hit.
This is the fundamental trade-off between the two: Incinerator FRV is a heavy tank designed for close-range scorching, while Supply FRV is a pure support vehicle. Of course, it still retains some self-defense capability, with a roof-mounted Liberator machine-gun turret similar to the one found on supply pod accelerators.
You can resupply Supply FRV, but each refill consumes one supply block, and ammunition depletes at a rapid rate. It is worth noting that this automatic turret suffers from a similar issue as certain sentry models: it keeps firing at the spot where an enemy fell, wasting a great deal of ammunition. Until that problem is addressed, it is best not to feed it too much ammo.
Incinerator FRV is indeed a very powerful offensive vehicle, while Supply FRV offers more flexibility. Its resupply function is invaluable in high-intensity combat or long-range raids, especially suitable for solo players. Of course, you can test drive both vehicles to see which one better suits your needs.
