The Emsavion Airship, also known as Surveillance Airship, is a sabotage destructible object and vehicle in Just Cause 4.

Appearance[]

The Emsavion/Surveillance Airship is a rigid airship, made by the company Emsavion. The rear of the airship has three thrust engines while two additional ducted fan engines are on the sides to aid with steering. It comes in bright blue and white civilian colors, or Black Hand faction colors and symbols - entirely black, with a few thin red stripes - depending on the vehicle's ownership.

Sargento mentions that they're rigid airships at the beginning of the "Meteolab Grab" mission. There are two locations in the desert biome that have odd metal structures on the ground which look a lot like the support frames of these airships. In addition, blowing up the airship will reveal the support frames. It's also possible to see the frames by glitching into the airship under game-breaking circumstances. Therefore, these are rigid airships (internal supporting frame) and not blimps (held in shape by gas pressure).

The cabin has 8 seats, but strangely the front 2 seats are facing backward and the pilot has to stand up.

Performance[]

Slow and slow to react to controls. It is not possible to fly it sideways. It is safe to land it on water because it cannot be forced into the water. It will just hover very close to the water.

They are actually surprisingly durable, despite them being an airship. While airships are very fragile in real life, Emsavion Airships can survive a direct hit from an explosive weapon, before being blown up by the second.

The "Surveillance Airships" are easiest to destroy with the missiles from the Skystriker Wingsuit, if available. It takes about 6 missiles to destroy it, meaning at least two passes with the wingsuit.

Versions and locations[]

Black Hand[]

Some of these are used as "Surveillance Airships". Most are above major bases, but some are above towns. Hijacking one for use will show its name as "Emsavion Airship". If the hijacked vehicle is destroyed close to its spawn point, then it will count as a destroyed Surveillance Airship and it will no longer spawn there. If it is flown away and destroyed far enough, it will not count and another one will spawn.

Some of these spawn during some missions:

Civilian[]

This version is a bright blue on the top and white on the bottom.

  • Appears at random locations throughout Solís.
  • Above Cáceres. This is the only location with an empty civilian version and the only place with a stunt for this version.
  • Unlocked in the supply drop after destroying all Surveillance Airships.

Wrecks[]

There are at least four static wrecks. These consist of the metal frame.
