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:

Harland DTWV-2 Rocket battery:

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.

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.

  • Can appear being driven by an enemy soldier in the unmarked military base featured in the mission Sink the Buccaneer. This is rare, but it's more likely to spawn if you are actually playing the mission.

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 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.
