Quad
Description
The Quad is an entry-level vehicle designed for runners beginning their adventures beyond Neocron City into the Wastelands. As a basic four-wheeled transport, it offers a reliable means of exploration for those new to the outlands. While not the fastest option available and lacking any built-in weaponry, the Quad's simplicity and ease of operation make it an ideal choice for novices.
Given its limited speed and defensive capabilities, the Quad is best suited for traversing safer areas. Runners planning to venture into more dangerous territories are encouraged to invest in more advanced vehicles equipped with better speed and armaments.
