IFV FV510 Warrior (West)

The Vigilante FV510 Warrior infantry section vehicle (ISV) is an infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) from the United Kingdom developed by GKN Sankey / GKN Defence as a potential replacement of the FV430 APC series. The vehicle has been in service since 1987 and its design was meant to withstand damage, which is why its base armor is sloped at the front and only slightly everywhere else.

The FV510 comes with a 30 mm L21A1 RARDEN cannon and a coaxial 7.62 mm L94A1 chain gun. It is operated by 3 crewmates and can additionally carry 7 troops. The vehicle is fitted with a Perkins Rolls-Royce TCA V-8-cylinder Condor diesel engine with 550 horsepower, reaching up to 75 km/h (46 mph).

This vehicle blueprint comes with both desert and forest textures, is fully rigged, and includes animated tracks, turret rotation as well as elevation, mirrors, and hatches. A destructible state model is included with damaged geometry, textures, and both fire as well as smoke FX. This asset also includes weapon firing and dust FX from the tracks when driving.

The asset is set up as a traditional Unreal vehicle with an interior but can be modified as needed to suit your purpose. It is drivable with proper physics performance by using Epic Games’ Chaos Vehicles plugin. The Chaos Vehicles plugin must be enabled for vehicle movement to work. Also, the environmental clouds are utilizing the Volumetrics plugin from Epic Games and the scene uses Lumen.

A sample showcase/demo Blueprint has been included with an environment map and User Interface (UI). When you “Play” the map, the UI includes camera presets, sliders, and buttons to demonstrate the key functionalities of the vehicle.

Disclaimer: This asset uses the Volumetrics plugin and the Chaos Vehicles system plugin from Epic Games for demonstration purposes only. The vehicle asset can be used and modified without this plugin enabled in your personal projects.

The Volumetrics plugin is used for the clouds in the scene by utilizing the volume creation and rendering tools therein. The Chaos Vehicles system plugin allows users to use vehicle physics simulations to make realistic vehicle movement.

All rights of the Volumetrics plugin and the Chaos Vehicles system plugin are the exclusive property of Epic Games. Vigilante does make any warranties, inferred or implied, regarding the use of Epic’s plugins.
