MV (disambiguation)

This is a disambiguation for all things named MV in the Just Cause game series.

Description and history

It began in Just Cause with the iconic MV, which the guerrilla PDA page calls an "EMVEE Armadillo". In this context it seems like the name Armadillo (a small armored animal) is a metaphor for a small armored vehicle.

The MV is obviously based on the HMMWV, so this is a reference to how the HMMWV also has an abbreviation-name that is commonly spoken as "Humvee" for ease of pronunciation.

Just Cause 2 (mobile game) had HMMWV-based large cars. The name is unknown.

As of Just Cause 2, the iconic name MV became the name of several HMMWV-based vehicles (see listed below). This also lead players to believe that "MV" might be a company name.

Just Cause 3 broke tradition by naming its HMMWV-based vehicle the Urga Szturm 63A, where Urga is the name of the manufacturer. However confusingly, there is a motorcycle called MV402, which in itself seems to again refer to "MV" as a possible manufacturer, however the vehicle model has a Mugello logo on it and is meant to reference the MV Augusta manufacturer instead.

Just Cause 4 has a number of vehicles produced by Armadillo, establishing that name as a company and opening the possibility that the "EMVEE Armadillo" may also have been one of their products. The Warrior Offroader can be considered the successor to MVs and the Urga Szturm 63A in past games, however it's stated to be produced by Grupo Prospero.
