The Urga Bkolos 2100 is a military armored vehicle in Just Cause 3.
Appearance[]
This vehicle is a 4-wheeled armored fighting vehicle with a tank turret, resembling the Harland DTWV-2 Scout and GV-104 Razorback, but looking more realistic. It's based on the real world Panhard AML and the turret resembles that of the Merkava tanks.
The Medici Military version is marked with three stars atop the turret, with the body painted in various brown shades. However the Rebellion counterparts have the top painted over in sky blue, the body being a uniform dark brown, with various decals etched onto the body. The Rebellion version appears slightly inferior to the military variant for lacking a spare wheel and multiple minor pieces of equipment that are attached to the walls of the latter. This difference is cosmetic.
The armor on the tank appears to be ordinary steel plating, or some other metal. This suggests that the Bkolos might be an older armored vehicle, since modern armored vehicles use numerous high-tech protection systems such as composite armor and reactive armor.
The Rebel drop description is; "Urga's Light combat vehicle Bkolos 2100 is ideal for fast Siege attacks or surprising flank attacks. A 76 mm gun is standard on board."
Performance[]
In terms of mobility, it has nothing to offer. It is barely able to move itself adequately on flat ground, never mind a small slope, which isn't helped by its stiff handling. It can still be used to drag other objects thanks to its high mass.
As a fighting vehicle, its armor is adequate, comparable to the Urga Szturm 63A in the sense it can withstand a single explosion. Having very few viewports, the operator is mostly safe, though the vehicle will eventually succumb to concentrated fire from all weapons. Meanwhile, its Light Cannon is worth noting on its own, with each shell deals slightly less damage than a "standard" explosion but a decently fast turn rate and shorter reload time. Despite its reduced damage and lacking a machine gun like the CS Odjur and Imperator Bavarium Tank, it can still defend itself somewhat effectively by quickly blowing up scattered groups of Medici Military and Black Hand personnel seconds apart from each other. With some practice, enemy helicopters can be taken down before they attack. It also does an amazing job at wiping out Chaos Objects, destroying most of then in a hit or two, which combined with its fire rate allows it to demolish large portions of military bases.

Locations[]
Medici Military[]
- Can appear at high levels of heat under varying circumstances, typically at heat 3 and above. While liberating a settlement, the arrival of Urga Bkolos 2100/CS Odjur can be pre-announced by a dispatch transmission mentioning tanks being sent.
- Outside of a police station combat zone while you're fighting the D.R.M. This can happen if you step out of the combat and it’s heat 3-4. A CS Odjur can can occasionally override it at heat 4, and will replace it entirely on heat 5.
- North of the wall, it can appear at heat level 2 and rarely, heat level 1.
- May be summoned as reinforcements during a base liberation.
- Outside of a police station combat zone while you're fighting the D.R.M. This can happen if you step out of the combat and it’s heat 3-4. A CS Odjur can can occasionally override it at heat 4, and will replace it entirely on heat 5.
- Parked at many Military bases in Medici:
- Can be found being transported by Train and subsequently stolen.
- Can be found at several abandoned warehouses in Insula Striate.
- At industrial ruins at Maestrale.
- ?
- Appears in some missions.
The Rebellion[]
- At many military bases and outposts in Medici, after they've been liberated.
- Unlocked for Rebel drop after liberating Cima Leon: Transmitter.
Trivia[]
- It's made by the fictional company Urga.
- The red light from the brake lights will still reflect from the body panels after the rear lights have been destroyed.
- Before game release, the weapon was called "Tank cannon small", which is possibly an internal name. See also Vehicle mounted weapons and Cut game content from Just Cause 3.
- It can be considered the spiritual successor to the Harland DTWV-2 Scout from Just Cause and to the GV-104 Razorback from Just Cause 2.
- The needless corner in the front mud-guard makes the vehicle seem like a product of the same company as the Stria Obrero, which shares this design feature.
- This vehicle surprisingly has a horn, unlike the CS Odjur. This could be attributed to Imperator Bavarium Tank reusing CS Odjur codes and assigning the horn button for the Bavarium shield.
Glitch[]
Main article:' Just Cause 3 Bugs and glitches
It has been reported that sometimes the turret might start to aim higher than the cross-hair and eventually become unresponsive. The fix is to aim the turret at the ground, get out, then get back in. The Corvette's turret is affected by the same glitch.
