The harasser is a three-seat buggy and the fastest ground vehicle in Planetside 2. It is often used as a hit-and-run combat vehicle with a crew of two, or as a cheap transport option.
Passive
NFI-2000 Turbo
The harasser has a turbo boost which can be activated by pressing the shift key. Activating the turbo uses about 30% of the charge, which will be sustained as long as the shift key is held.
The boost is applied as a force on the vehicle, not as an increase in engine or wheel speed. If used in the air, it can increase the distance and hang time of a jump. It can also be used when upside down to potentially unflip the vehicle.
