Humvees are a nasty threat in Wardogs. They’re fast, have thick enough armor to withstand multiple RPGs, and usually come with a machinegun nest that can easily mow down a squad of infantry in a single reload. But they have a pretty huge weakness that, two weeks in, many players in my matches are unaware of:
Shoot the tires. Like, with anything.
Popping just one tire will cut the Humvees max speed by over half, and popping two will slow it to a crawl. This won’t destroy the vehicle or even interrupt the gunner, but it will make it easier to target the unarmed area of the gun nest and force the driver to make a tough choice: limp out of danger or go for a very risky repair.

As YouTuber Min Max Lab helpfully tested, it takes just eight 5.56 bullets (the ammo used by Wardogs’ free starter rifle) to pop a tire, so even a single soldier can deal enough damage to ruin a driver’s day. I haven’t managed to ruin two tires by myself, but popping one is often enough to convince the Humvee to disengage for repairs.
Be sure to watch that whole video below for more useful data, like which guns are best fire tire destruction (shotguns are quite good), which direction you should shoot from to increase damage (the front) and just how bulletproof a Humvee’s windows are (it depends on the window).
