[amrutmnm]

Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on Anti-Tank Weapon  market, its adjacent markets, and its parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Demand-side analyses were carried out to estimate the overall size of the market. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. Thereafter, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the size of segments and subsegments.

BAG Vezdekhod

"Modern russian all-arounder used by the army and some anit-terrorist forces. They managed to get exported to several countries in asia, africa and europe. This one was bought from some ukrainian surplus sellers in the Inferna for a cheap price of few crates of vodka and a bucket of ammo. Americans got HEAVIE, russians got Vezdekhod. There is a wolf for a tiger (Heavy armor and armaments sold separately due to budget cuts)." - vehicle catalogue description

BAG Vezdekhod or Vezda (called Vesdie or Vezdy by some) is a russian armored car made for the military in Project: Firefight.

Design

Overall look and details make it resemble GAZ Tigr. The specific version cannot be specified, since like most cars, it's parts tend to be based off various production years. It's commonly seen in the circa 2000's parts. It has by default no weapons, but it can be armed with a machine gun or a launcher that is mounted on the roof. Additional armor and further car upgrades can also be bought.

Altough, Vezdekhod was made for military, it is also seen in police and even civillian versions.

During the Russian Rampage, Vezdekhods are the primary hostile units being driven by demons and having various turrets which are remotely controlled via second seat. They tend to transport both enemies and supplies. There is more alternative variants, but they will be listed later below. Interesting enough, some have been modified with special mini-tand threads instead of wheels.

2. Variants

There is not usual variants, but there are various versions used by demonic forces:

-"Stalker MK 1", a car using radar and surveilance equipment to monitor surrounding area for any enemies, supplies or points of interest. Really rare and they tend to have light armor and few guards. MK 2 and MK 3 have reinforced armor (medium and heavy respectively) and remote turrets (small sentries for MK 2 and heavy-duty turret for MK 3) attached via trailer. Driver along with guard's armor and weapons vary with version.

-"Throttle MK 1", a version with a normal turret (varying bettwen several versions) with upgraded engine and bulletproof windows. MK 2 gets extra armor with turret being now with a heavy machine gun or chain gun, while MK 3 gets a ram, bigger and bulletproof wheels along with turret now having two guns instead of one. Sometimes they have extra lights mounted both on front and rear along with bars on the rear section.

-"Detonator MK 1", special version with mortar or cannon and windows have been darkened. MK 2 gets metal plated coating for windows, cannon turret becomes upgraded with a searchlight and rangefinder, wheels get upgraded with neither spiked or chained tires. MK 3 has a dual-launcher turret setup, armor and windows get full reinforcement, rear wheels become protected fully and a light bar get added to the upper roof. Sometimes it can be also seen with protected grille, lights and rims.

-"Baron of the Ice", a heavily modified version with turret resembling that of BDRM-2, extra guns on the rear section, tank threads, worn-out shields at the rear door windows, pikes and swords mounted to the front, extra lights in various places and a smile with sharp teeth painted on the cow catcher-like crude push bar. It's a main boss of the Skala Army Depot. The car itself was also enchanted with ice and water magic via various spells and artifacts.

All variants have various camos, decorations, liveries and additional touches like various writings, stickers, emblems or another doodles in various places like inside the cabin or on the overall body.

There are variants, that are used by Imp City Police Force in the industrial section. Main diffrence between usual and police version is a push bar with lights and rear section has spare tire on the middle of the door (which would most likely block them from opening). This version has added police lights on the top, front and back.

Few were seem to be used by the Blue Monday Corpus, but there is not that much diffrence between those and military versions. Main ones are livery, color scheme, final finishes and decors.

3. Behind the scenes

Name comes from Vezdekhod, a prototype of a tank fromr the russian empire. Name itself can be translated to "anywhere goer" or "all-terrain vehicle". This isn't the only enemy unit or vehicle based off the prototype, since most of enemies are influenced by various both concepts and prototypes that can be found. There is another reference to Vezdekhod as a RC car called "Comrade Vova", which greatly resembles the tank.

Description references both GAZ Tigr and GAZ Volk, a upgraded version of Tigr.

There exist characters called "Vezda and Vala the collective sisters" character from Automorphs, which look like anthropomorphic version of Tigr and Volk cars respectively. Vezda is shown as white camo tiger-ATV girl with antennas behind ears (resembling horns) and a hook at the end of the tail, while Vala looks like a wolf girl in digital camo with chains around her legs and arms. Both have eyes in the color of the russian flag (irises in red-blue-white coloring). They can be found in several places and artworks. They also appear with Hanka (Polish Tarpan Honker - white stork), Mengshi and Bae Jyi (Chinese Dongfeng EQ2050 - dragoness\dolphin hybrid, BJ2022 - red panda), and Kara (Kozak IFV - black eagle) in a "Red Flag Gang". Their overall look resembles a mix of two subfandoms of furries, tactifur (furries into military and tactical gear) and aeromorphs (anthromorphic planes).

ICPF livery looks like a mix of both soviet-era militsya and current russian police force. Sirens also look like a mix between old-1980's and modern early 2000's sirens. This comes from the industrial section being mostly populated by former USSR citizens and tech, which leads to the police force of this part to have equipment and aesthetics of the soviet bloc.

Comparison to HEAVIE comes from Humvee (in-universe rendition is HEAVIE) and Tigr. Funnily enough, Tigr is much younger and a bit more modern than Humvee (Humvee's (and to extent, original Hummers) were made in the 1980's while Tigr was made around 2006). Both are also main cars of the armed forces ( HEAVIE for American Army, Vezdy for Russian army).

There is a livery called "Rush Blyat!", which is inspired by Counter-Strike series. Name of the livery comes from russian players typically attacking site B along with overall popularity of CS in eastern europe.

There is a livery called "Old Times" which has design being a mix of soviet army livery and tactical digital scheme in mix of red, yellow and of your choice.
