Battlefield Specifications

A Versatile Foe
Equipped with powerful hovertech, reinforced ablative armor plating, and turret-mounted, computer-controlled twin rocket pods, the Sandstorm can fulfill a variety of roles in any battle scenario, from anti-air support to front-line engagement. The weapons system can be upgraded on-the-fly via equipment crates located in the field, allowing Sandstorm crews to effectively double the missile payload for a significant jump in lethality.

Shoot and Scoot
The ability to fire a salvo of deadly rockets and escape before the target can retaliate comes down to more than just speed. Much like the lighter Talon, the Sandstorm can use its high-technology hover engines to move up and down the vertical surfaces of cliff faces, making pursuit impossible for most Nod ground vehicles.

Calm Before The Storm
Switching to the newly developed "Missile Storm" loadout is a favorite tactic of many a Commander against pesky swarms of roaming Cobra attack aircraft. The rocket pods load smaller "Storm" missiles into the launchers and fires them at a much faster rate, sacrificing accuracy in the process. Although the inaccuracy makes the loadout ineffective against a single target, the amount of destruction unleashed by multiple overlapping shockwaves and explosions in a small area have proved devastating against tightly packed groups of enemies, especially aircraft.
