The gunner is safe on the front thanks to the turret shields and the bed walls, able to attack enemies with little to no risk of being shot. However, the front occupants are rather vulnerable due to the large windows, but can be partially solved with the Medium and Heavy Armor upgrades, as it installs armor plating on the windshield.

The Half-track has great tolerance against gunfire and explosions, almost on par with the APC. Its engine sound is shared with that of the APC. The engine is coupled to a 4-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear-wheel drive layout. Like the Duneloader, the Half-track is powered by a diesel engine which, due to the low texture details, does not reveal its exact configuration. This trait is shared with its standard variant, the Duneloader. Since the snorkel ('exhaust') is raised above the cab, the player can drive the Half-track underwater so long as the tip of the snorkel remains above the water surface. This is because exhausts in GTA V determine when the vehicle should cut out under water, and the Half-track's snorkel is considered an exhaust by the game - moreover, small amounts of exhaust fumes can be seen coming out of the snorkel. While not amphibious, the Half-track can be submerged up until the snorkel on the left side of the cab is drowned. Not only is the Half-track great at handling off-road conditions, it can also tolerate deep water. Its handling is also great, despite being a bit larger than its normal version, possibly due to the limited top speed. The tracks provide great traction on any surface, allowing the vehicle to climb very steep hills with ease, even nearly vertical hills when going in a straight line. Performance Grand Theft Auto Online VehicleДЄlthough the Half-track possess average top speed due to its weight and the tracks, it has great acceleration and good mobility, allowing to move quicker than its standard version. The vehicle is equipped with a turret on the bed, which can be modified to have either dual machine guns resembling Oerlikon 20mm guns or quad autocannons resembling 2cm (20mm) Flak 38 autocannons, both manufactured by Vom Feuer. A differential provides connection between the engine driveshaft and the drive sprockets. Four road wheels are supported by pivoting arms that are sprung with vertical volute springs mounted in a center box housing, allowing the vehicle to drive smoothly over uneven terrain. The front section retains the same wheels as the regular Duneloader, but the rear one uses continuous tracks, each one consisting of a front drive sprocket, a rear idler wheel and a return roller. The bodywork and turret are painted with a primary color, while the unditching roller, fenders, bottom side, wheels and track wheels are painted with a secondary color. The rear end features an unusable door on the center, a set of virvular tail lights derived from the Duneloader and several semi-trucks, and a tow hitch on the back that allows it to tow an Anti-Aircraft Trailer. The rear section, however, uses a larger truck bed with tall walls around, carrying several items on the sides and behind the cabin. The vehicle is essentially a half-track and armed variant of the Duneloader, where the front section retains the same cabin design and features from the regular Duneloader, but adds what appears to be an unditching roller (albeit non-functional). The truck appears to be inspired by the M3 Half-track due to the rear tracks, with the armored cab options reminiscent of the cab armors often used in half-tracks like the Sd.Kfz.
