The HAMR IFV is a heavily armed, amphibious, combat vehicle designed and employed by the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance for use on the battlefields of Helghan. They serve as reconnaissance vehicles, being fast and maneuverable, and are popular with all grunts.

Specifications

Instead of tank treads, the vehicle moves on six large all-terrain wheels, which in conjunction with its powerful engine, gives it a reasonable amount of maneuverability and enables it to traverse the rough terrain of Helghan. The HAMR possesses reasonably strong armor, and can survive an impact from a dedicated anti-tank weapon like the VC9 Rocket Launcher and continue to operate.

Weapons

Possessing the firepower of a light tank and the maneuverability of an armored car, the HAMR fills a vital niche between the heavily armored but slow moving Archer Tank, and the nimble yet fragile ISA Jeep.

The HAMR has only two onboard weapons:

• One .50 caliber M224 MOMAG machine gun, for infantry.
• A high-explosive-armor-piercing 35mm autocannon, for more armored targets.

Both are linked on a single turret and controlled by a dedicated gunner. While lacking the sheer power of either the Archer's missiles or the main gun of a Lancer tank, the cannon compensates with a much higher rate of fire, and its repeated blasts can destroy all but the toughest Helghast vehicles.

Trivia

• Curiously, there seems to be no concept art of the HAMR available, or at least none easily accessible. The only known concept art come from from "The Art of Killzone 3" Artbook from the Killzone 3 Helghast Edition product.
