The GP Thunder Extreme Prototype is a well armed off-road car in Just Cause (1). The Just Cause Demo calls this vehicle a Prototype MV.
Appearance[]
It's based on the real world Hummer H3.
It's a pick-up type vehicle and looks like it was designed for off-roading.
Performance[]
The GP Thunder Extreme Prototype is quite a sturdy vehicle for it's size and has reasonable performance, being quite fast and agile. It has four-wheel drive in lower speeds.
Its armament include a missile launcher and dual machine guns, all of which face the front. The console versions of the game (or at least some of them) allow the player to aim vehicle weapons either manually, or to let the game auto-aim them. The PC version only has auto-aim for all vehicle mounted weapons.
This is a great vehicle for village liberations or military base takeovers due to the potential firepower it provides and its accessibility. The machine guns do relatively well against enemy infantry while the missiles can decimate a small area. Shooting at helicopters is not easy, because it's not possible to shoot steeply upwards. Just be careful of the vehicle's durability as it doesn't last too long under gunfire.
Locations[]
- Available from Heavy drop after the mission Good Cop, Bad Cop.
- At the Agency 04 "Camp Beachcomber" safehouse. This one is the only one that is not programmed as a heavy drop vehicle, so using it will not prevent the player from requesting heavy drops.
Trivia[]
- It looks a lot like a Hummer HX, but those were made in 2008. Just Cause (1) is from 2006. Maybe the people at General Motors were inspired by this game?
- It's weapons are the same as the Bald Eagle Persuader.
- This is the predecessor of the Just Cause 2 "Hedge Wildchild" - a newer armed off-road car for The Agency.
- You need to obtain this vehicle in the Just Cause Demo to complete the demo.
- The demo calls this vehicle a "Prototype MV". Both vehicles are based on the same real vehicle, so the similar in-game name make sense.
