The Harland series armoured vehicles are military vehicles in Just Cause (1).

Like the Ballard series armored vehicles, there are 3 vehicles in this series (gun turret; multiple rocket launcher and anti-aircraft). The vehicles are so similar that it's better to keep them in a single article.

The 3 vehicles

Appearance

The lower parts of the vehicles are identical. The engine is at the front. It looks as if it might be able to contain 2 people, but that's unknown.

Performance

It handles like a slow rally car. In fact, with a little practice you can use it for some of the races, but don't expect to be able to set a new best time, if you set the time with a sports car.

The rear end tends to slip out of control in sharp turns, so be careful at high speed.

If you encounter one in battle, the best advice is to stay away from them and try to steal one as fast as possible. They can kill Rico pretty fast, if he's on foot. They can also kill Rico by running him over.

Weapons

Harland DTWV-2 Scout:

• Tank-like gun turret.
• Invisible machine gun at the hull front.

Harland DTWV-2 Rocket battery:

• Multiple rocket-launcher turret.
• Invisible machine-gun at the hull front.

Harland DTWV-2 AA gun:

• Double-barreled anti-aircraft heavy machine-gun turret.
• Invisible machine-gun at the hull front.

Survivability / armor

All 3 vehicles have identical armor. They are somewhat bulletproof (only protected from SMG, pistol and shotguns).

It can take 1 standard explosion, such as a direct hit from a rocket launcher, or the explosive main weapon of a similar armed vehicle, before the second one makes it catch fire and explode.

At a certain level of damage, its mud guards / fenders and a part of its rear wall will fall off.

Harland DTWV-2 Scout

This version has the tank like turret.

Armed with a Tank gun, it is effective against all targets. A skilled operator can even shoot down helicopters, presuming that helicopter does not kill you first.

According to the rank system in the Guerrillas, this vehicle is unlocked at the highest rank, but has a name of "Harlan DTWV-2". This one is also brown.

Guerrilla version

The variant that spawns in all Guerrilla safehouses.

Guerrilla version provided at safehouse.

Owner	Color	Locations
San Esperito Military	Gray	Appears during a high level of Heat and tries to kill Rico. Appears during some "liberation" sidemissions that take place at military bases. Also at cities. Don Ernesto military base. Maria Dolorosa military camp. Appears in some Guerrilla sidemissions as a "government tank" that needs to be destroyed "so that the people will know that freedom is imminent", according to the PDA mission info.
Guerrillas	Brown	Appears at Guerrilla safehouses after obtaining the rank of "Coronel" in their "army". It's the last guerrilla land vehicle to be unlocked.
Montano Cartel / Rioja Cartel	Brown	At the "Villa Celeste" cartel villa.
Black Hand	Black	On Isla Dominio.

Harland DTWV-2 Rocket battery

This is the version that has a multiple rocket-launcher turret.

The rocket-launcher has 5 visible rockets, but as all other vehicle weapons, it has infinite ammunition. The rocket-launcher can not be used against flying machines and it doesn't have much range.

Harland DTWV-2 AA gun

This is the version that has the double barreled anti-aircraft heavy machine-gun turret.

This weapon is effective against all helicopters, just like the Harland DTWV-2 Scout's gun, but it has a greater angle of vertical fire. The weapon is ineffective against ground vehicles.

The turret may have been inspired by that of the real "M3 VDA", an AA version of the Panhard M3.

Trivia

• On all three of the vehicles, the wheels aren't actually attached to the underside, but rather the vehicle itself is floating above the tires. See picture above. This isn't a glitch, most games of that era had vehicles that were made to look about that accurate.
• All three of the Harlands may spin around, or even flip over if you rotate their turrets too fast. This is a well known glitch. There's no fix, but players are advised to only turn the turret while the vehicle is stationary. Switch the weapon to hull MG to lock the turret while driving.
  • The Ballard series armored vehicles are also affected by this glitch.
• The muzzle flash effect on the AA Gun variant is in between the two gun barrels rather than at the ends of them. This is probably not intentional and therefore a glitch. See above picture.
• The GV-104 Razorback in Just Cause 2 and Urga Bkolos 2100 in Just Cause 3 can be considered the spiritual successors of Harland DTWV-2 Scout.
