The Montano Cartel are a drug cartel in Just Cause (1).

Description[]

They're the only opposition and competition for the Rioja Cartel. Their faction color is purple. In-universe, they are obviously identical to the Riojas, but they're friends with Salvador Mendoza.

They have many villas / drug plantations scattered all over San Esperito, that Rico can help the Riojas to take over. Once taken over, these villas often have parked ground vehicles and always a helicopter. The Montano cartel will chase after Rico if Montano heat is gained. They are usually seen getting into gunfights with the Guerrillas and Rioja Cartel all over San Esperito.

Strangely, despite mission information, according to which they're on Mendoza's side, they can sometimes get into gunfights with local law enforcement and even the military. Sometimes, if Rico has Montano heat and a military or police vehicle arrives, they can suddenly ignore him and start shooting at the government factions instead. This probably isn't any sort of bug, because the Guerrillas can also get into shootouts among themselves, as is even addressed in one of the sidemissions.

  • Delta MAH-15 Chimaera - Patrols the air at Montano Heat level 5 when the player is in an aircraft, towards the end of the game. This may be very rare, unless it was a misidentification.
  • Huerta PA51 Aztek - Patrols the air at Montano heat levels 4-5, appears in some sidemissions and liberations. Replaced entirely towards the end of the game, as Delta 5H4 Boxheads replace them in liberations, and Delta MAH-15 Chimaeras replace them at higher heat levels.
  • Mullen H45 Dragonfly - Rarely appears at Montano Heat Level 5, when you're in or around a Cartel Villa.
  • Delta 5H4 Boxhead - In some sidemissions.
