The American Dream

A Couch, sometimes called a Sofa, is a piece of upholstered furniture similar to a bench intended to seat two or more people. They are normally found in family rooms or living rooms in homes, but are also used in various other places like hotel and office lobbies. Couches can also converted into makeshift vehicles with the addition of wheels, and are usually pushed down hills or roads to gain speed. They can also be equipped with a motor to be self-propelled, with one recorded instance of a motorized couch traveling at a speed of 101 miles per hour.

Battlefield Hardline
The American Dream, (called MERICA in the killfeed), is a hidden vehicle in Battlefield Hardline. It is a couch with four wheels underneath that can be driven by a player and can seat three other passengers. It is found on the map Dust Bowl during the Hotwire gamemode.

The "driver" sits on the left-side (from the back) cushion of the couch with his hand on the armrest, the second passenger sits on the right-side cushion with his left reg resting on his right knee., the third sits on the headrest, and the fourth sits on the right armrest. Like other vehicles, the passengers are free to use their personal equipment while the driver remains unarmed. The couch can be repaired with the Repair Tool.

The American Dream is the fastest vehicle in the game, and handles similarly to the Dirt Bike. This allows the couch to perform high-speed jumps and easily roadkill other players. However, the couch offers no protection for its users, who are completely exposed to gunfire, and is very vulnerable to explosives. The couch also spawn once per match, after it is destroyed, it will not reappear for remainder of the round. If the player wants to continue using it, then it is important to keep out of large firefights and away from heavier attack vehicles. The driver should make use of its high speed to perform hit-and-run attacks on enemies. Having a passenger equipped with the Repair Tool will also be useful for keeping the couch up and running.
