APC

The APC is an armored fighting vehicle designed to transport infantry to the battlefield. APCs are usually armed with only a machine gun although variants carry recoil-less rifles, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), or mortars. They are not usually designed to take part in a direct-fire battle, but to carry troops to the battlefield safe from shrapnel and ambush. They may have wheels or trucks.

Examples include the American M113 (tracked), the British FV 432 (tracked), the French VAB (wheeled), the Dutch/German GTK Boxer (wheeled) and the Soviet BTR (wheeled). Infantry fighting vehicles, by contrast, are more heavily armed and armored and are designed for direct combat. APCs make their first appearance in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized, in the level "Distant Information", and Call of Duty: Black Ops, in the mission "Slaughterhouse", where US Marines are tasked to cover an APC called "Bottom Feeder".

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized
An Insurgent APC appears in the campaign levels "Distant Information" and Needle in a Haystack. Both have to be destroyed via RPG.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
APCs will make another appearance in Call of Duty: Black Ops. One appears in "Slaughterhouse", where the Marines are tasked to cover Bottom Feeder, one of the APCs assigned to protect any SOG agents or Marines being shot at.
