Once you get pinned down by weapons fire you are dead. In a worst-case scenario where there is little to no cover try to run until some of the enemy auto-escapes at 500m. Another technique is to run until the enemy becomes spread out, then turn and kill the lead vehicles before the others can join - divide and conquer.

	Do not loot vehicles that you don't want to fight in. Looted vehicle add their CR to the number of enemy vehicles encountered on a return. Vehicles with engines less than 75%, that have their main guns destroyed, or have more than one armor facing breached are death traps. Do not make exceptions for rare vehicles, leave that 8% 3.2Lv8, it's not worth it. Greed kills. If you violate this rule (and you will), then you must prepare to ditch your loot vehicle at the start of the return. Place your loot vehicle TO THE LEFT of the vehicle you want your driver to escape to (because the steering wheel in DW is ON THE RIGHT). Slow both vehicles down to 0 mph. Then exit the loot vehicle. If you do it right you can immediately board your own vehicle without exposing your gang member to weapons fire – this is the 'loot car shuffle'. Practice this.

			Destroy vehicles like the Mutant Marauder and Scorpion first - getting hit by twin RLs can kill by making your vehicle unresponsive and preventing you from returning fire.
	Be scared of heavy rockets – a heavy rocket can kill you in one shot. Ignore CGLs till the end – they are no threat to a well-built vehicle.		Be scared of heavy rockets – a heavy rocket can kill you in one shot. Ignore CGLs till the end – they are no threat to a well-built vehicle.
