The Hedge Wildchild is an armed off-road car in Just Cause 2.
Appearance[]
It's a "pick-up" style off-road car, with an automatic machine gun and rocket turret behind the cab. The rocket launcher is added to the turret once the vehicle is upgraded to 6 stars.
This vehicle isn't based on any real vehicle, but it resembles both a Bertone Pickster and a Mitsubishi L-200.
The style of vehicle is possibly based off the Local Motors Rally Fighter, and the rear wing resembles that of a Lamborghini Murchielago LP 670-4 SuperVeloce.
It can only be seen in black, as it is an Agency vehicle and thus comes in Agency faction colors.
Performance[]
It has a high top speed and it can also go off-road. It can be effectively used to get rid of Heat and out-drive the military. While it may be a pick-up truck, it's an Agency vehicle with awesome handling in terms of grip, you hardly ever lose grip, however, it has a very wide turning circle so don't use it if you think you may be doing some very tight turns.
This vehicle is a good choice for pursuit missions, it can survive massive falls, crashes, and gunfire without getting too damaged, making it one of the greatest off-road vehicles in the game. If you are having trouble with an off-road race, then order this car from the black market and you shouldn't have any more problems with either the race or the traffic. Also, this is one of the best cars for using both on-road and off-road (a combination of the two.)
While it is not as blazingly fast on-road as the Poloma Renegade (another car-like truck available with machine guns and a rocket launcher that costs $50,000), the Wildchild is much better off-road and has better armor.
With some skill, it can easily beat a V series armored vehicle. (GV-104 Razorback, SV-1003 Raider, SV-1007 Stonewall)
It's useful for attacking gas stations and small military facilities, like Communications Outposts.
It is an excellent off-road vehicle.
How to obtain[]
Rico can only obtain this vehicle through buying from the Black Market for $50,000 after the player has 310,000 chaos points.
Trivia[]
- The Just Cause (1) predecessor of this vehicle is the GP Thunder Extreme Prototype, which has hidden weapons that can only shoot to the front of the vehicle.
- It has a striking resemblance to the Warthog in the Halo series. There is even a modification which edits the appearance to make said vehicle. That mod can be found here.
- Besides DLC, the other vehicles that are also only available through the Black Market are the Poloma Renegade and Shimuzu ATV 110. In the case of the latter, it is just a Shimuzu Tracline with a different name, but the vehicle is still exclusive to the Black Market.
- In Just Cause 2 Multiplayer, it is actually possible to spawn this vehicle without any weapons. In the buy menu, it will simply say "Hedge Wildchild," while the one with machine guns (the actual level one version in the single player) will be called "Hedge Wildchild (MG)."
