I heard theres a weakspot where you could shoot the driver and passengers, just a rumor though.

The entire LAV is supposed to be a weak spot; it's defense is supposed to be it's speed.

Seriously guys?

The weak spot is the hood of the LAV.

Really? You'd think that the engineers would make the front of the vehicle the most armoured area because it's obviously most on show. The underside makes much more sense as a weakspot.

What's under the hood? #endthread

LAV weakpots:

Tested by walking around a vehicle and aiming at all positions...

The entire "bottom" of the LAV gives a small damage bonus (this is true for all ground vehicles, by the way), but this is really only exploitable when an RDV is dropping it, when an idiot flipped it, during "airtime" by bad drivers or using explosives.

The front "hood" of the AV between the headlights is a major weakspot.

If you think you're referring to the gas tank, you're wrong - that tends to be on the bottom of vehicles. The engine is usually under the hood. Also, since this is the distant future, I wouldn't go assuming that they use gas either.

Micro reactors, breach the containment or screw up enough of the redundancy and the whole thing goes critical.

Ah good point. There's some Eve knowledge I've just learnt there!

I still think that the underside should be a worse weakspot though - flipping an LAV should pretty much mean the end of the vehicle unless you're lucky or far away from enemies with AV.

Tanks have that little weak spot at the rear where you can get a decent load of extra damage on them with a well placed forge shot. Do LAVs have a similar weak spot and if so, where?

I had always presumed they'd be weak on the bottom but when a LLAV flipped over next to me yesterday, I let rip with my AV nades and they still did barely anything. If LAVs don't have a weakspot, they should and I think it should be the entire underside, so that if you're stupid enough to flip one, you're probably going to lose it.

Edit - Thanks to Xocoyol Zaraoul for informing me that the underside is a slight weakspot and the major weakspot is between the headlights. However, I still think the underside should be a worse weakspot than it is.

The weak spot is a CBR7 swarm launcher.
You can take out a Charybdis in about 4-5 shots.
Alot of shots, but it works.
Oh, and proxy mines.

..... Yes, it's the engine. The capacitor is right by the engine idiot.
