HX3 in Military Tycoon — Value, Stats, Weapon & Trading Guide

HX3 is a Legendary armored ground vehicle in Military Tycoon. It is wheeled self-propelled artillery: a truck-like chassis carries a 155mm howitzer on the rear platform. Documented base values list 25K total damage, 4.95K health and speed 36. The supplied trade card also shows RAP 5.2K and an unlabeled 10/200 counter.

What is HX3?

HX3 arrived as a quest vehicle on June 1, 2024. Players originally unlocked it by finding 50 HX3 crates around the map. That origin matters to collectors because HX3 was tied to a limited-time scavenger activity rather than being a basic vehicle that every new player receives immediately.

The vehicle is sometimes described by players as the HX3 destroyer truck. That nickname refers to its silhouette and oversized rear cannon; the item shown on the trade card is simply named HX3. Its visual identity is easy to recognize: a long, multi-axle military truck with a weapon platform occupying much of the rear section.

HX3 stats explained

The supplied card uses bars instead of printing those numerical combat values. The documented figures are base stats, so vehicle levels, upgrades and later balance changes can produce different results in a live server. Both sources still point to the same intended balance: HX3 carries a powerful weapon on a vehicle with modest health and speed.

HX3 weapon: 155mm howitzer

The defining feature is the rear-mounted 155mm howitzer. It fires one explosive shell and takes 5 seconds to reload. The shell has a large area of effect, so a near hit can still damage targets inside the blast. The trade-off is projectile speed: the round travels slowly enough that moving targets require lead, and long-range shots give opponents time to change direction.

The howitzer is fired with the normal primary-fire control. Firing produces visible recoil, ejects a shell casing and triggers a ground-shake effect, giving HX3 one of the more distinctive weapon animations among ground vehicles. A clean hit can seriously damage land vehicles and ships; community testing also reports that direct hits can destroy many jets. The difficult part is connecting with a fast aircraft before the slow shell passes behind it.

There is no documented passenger weapon, defensive weapon or special upgrade. That makes the firing cycle simple but unforgiving: one player controls the vehicle and its only attack, so a missed shell creates a full reload window with no secondary gun to cover the gap.

The supplied card displays 10/200 beside an icon, but this counter is not labeled in the screenshot. It should not be described as a 10-round howitzer magazine: the documented combat weapon carries one shell before reloading. Treat 10/200 as a separate card counter until its current UI label is confirmed in-game.

How to use HX3 in combat

HX3 makes the most sense as mobile artillery. Travel with enough cover nearby, stop where the howitzer has a clean view and fire before the opponent reaches short range. Use the 5-second reload to reverse behind cover or change angle. With 4.95K base health, trading shots in the open wastes the advantage created by the first 25K-damage attack.

1. Choose open firing lanes. The truck and rear weapon need space. Ridges, road edges and the outside of a base are safer than narrow courtyards.
2. Keep distance. The cannon is the reason to use HX3. Let range protect the weaker Health profile whenever the map allows it.
3. Aim before exposing the vehicle. Enter the firing line with a target already selected, shoot, and return to cover instead of searching while stationary.
4. Lead moving targets. The explosive shell is powerful but slow. Aim ahead of cars, aircraft and other targets crossing the firing line.
5. Avoid solo pushes into fast enemies. A faster vehicle can close the gap or attack from an angle before HX3 repositions.

Strengths and weaknesses

HX3 RAP, value and demand

The item card shows RAP 5.2K. A current community trading snapshot separately places HX3 at approximately 2,200 to 2,800 Gems, with 7/10 demand, 3/10 scarcity and a stable trend. It also lists HX3 as tradable and gives its functionality a middle-of-the-road 5/10 rating.

Those figures describe different things. RAP is the number printed on the supplied card; the Gem range is a market estimate that can move as offers and player interest change. A 5.2K RAP therefore does not automatically mean every fair trade must equal 5,200 Gems.

How to trade HX3 more safely

Start with the exact item and rarity: HX3, Legendary. Compare several recent offers instead of accepting the first number built around RAP. If another player prices it far above the current Gem range, ask what has changed in actual trades rather than treating the old quest requirement as proof of a premium.

For a direct swap, compare demand as well as the headline values. An item with a similar number may still be harder to trade later. Use the site’s Military Tycoon value list and trading guide as a final checklist before confirming a large exchange.

Is HX3 worth getting?

HX3 is worth considering if you like unusual ground vehicles, want a Legendary item with quest history, or need a 155mm artillery platform for deliberate ranged play. Its stable market snapshot and 7/10 demand also make it more interesting than an item that has no visible trade activity.

It is a weaker fit if your usual style depends on speed, tight turns or absorbing damage at the front of a push. The card tells a clear story: choose HX3 for the cannon and manage the vehicle around its lower Health and Speed, rather than expecting it to perform every ground role.
