This article may seem complete to the untrained eye, but the gaps in information are still large enough for this elite team of Panauan Ninjas to hide inside of.

This article is about the large ships in Just Cause 3.

Description[]

Most nautical craft in the game are small boats and patrol ships. These ships are well over 100m long. They only appear as stationary vehicles.

List of different ships[]

Battlecruiser[]

It resembles the Kirov-class battlecruiser. It is armed with missiles and it is likely that it would carry helicopters and other vehicles.

This ship only appeared on an early game artwork.

White ships[]

One early artwork shows 2 large white ships in the distance. These could be passenger ships, but they also resemble Type 22 frigates.

These ships only appeared on an early game artwork.

eDEN Airship[]

Main article: eDEN Airship.

The Sky Fortress DLC adds the eDEN Airship into the game. This is an enormous flying ship with many futuristic weapons.

Aircraft carrier wrecks[]

The Rebellion base of Grotta Contrabandero has an aircraft carrier wreck. It is completely rusted, broken in half, and mostly under water.

According to the paper map that comes with the collectors edition of the game, there is a "Sunken ship sighted in southern Insula Dracon. Exact location unknown." This may refer to the above carrier. See also: Vehicle wrecks.

The Scolio area (at the Stingray), added by the Sea Heist DLC, has another near-identical aircraft carrier wreck. It is located near the dock (where you enter during the mission The Heist Begins), at about N 40 45.300; E 5 30.200. It is not visible when you are standing at the dock, but it is easily spotted from the air. The wreck is incomplete and only consists of the ship's front end. The wreck looks identical to the other carrier, but the anchors are up and the flight deck is at a lower angle. This wreck also has Inflatable liferafts on it, but they can only be opened if they are grappled from the surface while standing on a boat, or something.

Sunken container ship[]

According to the "The art of Just Cause 3" book that came with the collector's edition, Just Cause 3 was originally supposed to have an underwater environment similar to that of GTA V. An artwork shows a large sunken container ship where the player uses a diving suit.

Very rusty sunken cargo ship[]

There is a very rusted wreck of a cargo ship at about N 40 45.745; E 5 31.500. The hull seems to have broken in half and there are several rusted, but intact shipping containers. This needs confirmation, but it was likely added by the Bavarium Sea Heist DLC. A few meters west of the deeper end of the wreck is an open-ended container. The container has a cardboard box which can be pushed to float to the surface. Once destroyed, 8 rubber ducks pop out and Rico yells "Freedom!" This is an Easter egg.

Mile High Club[]

Main articles: Mile High Club, Easter Eggs in Just Cause 3, and Vehicle wrecks.

The Mile High Club from Just Cause 2 has crashed in north-west Insula Striate. The wreck is completely destroyed and looks like it is many decades old. The rear end is on the beach and most of it is under water. The front end is so deep that it is barely possible to dive there and look around without dying.

There is also a wreck like this underneath the Stingray. How this exists is unknown.

Large anchor at Weapons Shipment Yard[]

The Weapons Shipment Yard has a large rusted anchor behind the mech charging station. The anchor and its chain can be interacted with, using the grappler cables, or mech gravity tool.

It's of the "stockless anchor" type and it is similar in shape, but bigger than those used on American battleships during WW2.

The Urga Hrom D can lift it, but if you are trying to transport the anchor anywhere with the Urga Hroch, then be sure to set your map target before setting sail, because the anchor is likely to cease to exist when you return from the map view.

The aircraft carrier at the Stingray (see above) seems to have an identical anchor.

Medici-class multipurpose frigate[]

A lot of early designs and concept arts have been published among cut game content from Just Cause 3. Among them is a small military ship (see in the gallery below), comparable in size to Mendoza's destroyer in Sink the Buccaneer. This ship had a helicopter landing pad in the rear and a gun turret in the front. The picture includes a small picture of a Steregushchiy-class corvette that it is based on.

The design drawing includes "spawn boxes", which are most likely the same sort of small rooms as seen at the D.R.M. forts (police stations) where enemies spawn during battles, which can possibly mean that this ship was meant to be a completable location.

There are drivable big ships in JC4 that have aircraft spawning on them, so the helicopter spawn point does not prove if it was meant to be a stationary vehicle, or an actual drivable one.

Adequate ports[]

There are several military and civilian ports in Medici, but few of them are capable of harboring large ships. That is because most ports are either on the banks of narrow rivers/canals, or are inside caves, or have walls with narrow gates. Examples of adequate ports are:

Porto Tridente.
Weapons Shipment Yard.
Unnamed cargo port in eastern Citate Di Ravello.
Unnamed port at N 40 39.000 E 5 43.250.
