While aggressive gameplay sounds great, it becomes challenging to keep the health bar up at all times. Most of the time, players will prioritize cracking each other’s shields over getting a mythic weapon. 

Dropping at odd locations, on the other hand, is not very beneficial. The best loot is found in the hotspot POIs like Stark Industries, Doom’s Domain, and so on. Thus, to prepare for a fight, players need to make some efficient decisions, right from jumping off the bus. However, implementing those in the gameplay can be a challenging aspect.

This is a brilliant trick to start off with, as it can be difficult to find shields early in the game. Moreover, a shield is a must if players are aggressively looking for a fight. 

Similarly, the shield from this truck can come in handy if one is running away from a mythic gauntlet wielding opponent. The best thing about this is that players don’t have to keep striking the truck; it’s just one shot for full shield.
