The GV-104 Razorback is an armored vehicle in Just Cause 2.

Appearance

This vehicle is an armored car armed with an auto-cannon. If the player upgrades this vehicle to level 6 in the Black Market, a pair of machine guns are added to this vehicle, though this version can also be seen before level 6.

There are 4 versions that are available in different faction colors. The military version features the standard military liveries, while the Agency version only comes in black. There's a special version without a turret and versions with varying degrees of armor.

The turretless version also lacks a lot of the body under where the turret would be.

Performance

It's relatively slow, but can sustain a significant amount of damage.

The mounted auto-cannon can destroy almost any vehicle in a single hit, though some, like larger trucks and other Razorbacks, may take two or three. While the gun has limited vertical range, low-flying military UH-10 Chippewas can be also downed with a single shot.

The gun's full vertical range is around 40 degrees, with the depression being roughly 20, so it's ideal for taking out targets within moderate ranges. It's worth noting that when high heat levels are attained, the Panau Military will send Chippewas armed with rockets, which can deal devastating damage to the Razorback.

Versions and locations

Upgrading the Agency one at the Black Market upgrades them all, if they start out first without the coaxial machine guns.

Most of the turretless ones are at airports, so it is believed those versions are also used as an airport tug. They can be found at military bases as well.

Trivia

• It takes the role of a tank in Just Cause 2. It's not common to see tanks in older open world games because of how difficult the tracks are to program. See also: Scando Track Loader Extreme.
• It's the successor to the Harland DTWV-2 Scout from Just Cause and the predecessor to the Urga Bkolos 2100 in Just Cause 3.
• The beta version that was shown in an early trailer had a smaller turret with externally mounted miniguns. See also: Cut game content from Just Cause 2.
• Even though the coaxial machine guns are called "machine guns", they make the sound of miniguns.
• The other land vehicle in this game starting with "G" is the Garret Traver-Z.
• The weaponless versions takes the place of the AVIA from Just Cause.
• "Razorback" is an American colloquialism (nickname) for the term "feral pig".
• The GV-104 is similarly named and shares some design features with the "Razorback" armored transport from Warhammer 40,000. Both are small armored vehicles, both have an angular design and both feature large-caliber rear-mounted turrets.
• For in-universe lore, it is not known which version was created first, be it the airport tug or the armed version.

The beta version of the Razorback, shown in the longer gameplay trailer, had a smaller turret with Miniguns mounted on the sides.
