Description
The statues are all about 10 m tall, showing Pandak Panay. He seems to be performing something similar to the German national-socialist salute.
Destructability
Destroying one will award the player with 1,000 Chaos points and $5,000. They also contribute to the completion of the settlement in which they are located. They are usually guarded by one Elite and/or three regular Panau soldiers, but don't let that stop you from obliterating it.
To bring one down, one could employ various means, but don't bother with gunfire as it is immune to any weapon weaker than a Minigun, or a mounted gun. Any type of explosives will do the job. What makes this unique, however, is its ability to be pulled down using the grappling hook, attaching it to a vehicle and then flooring it, similar to how statues of Saddam Hussein were destroyed by angry Iraqis. Depending on what part you grappled to, your vehicle will either be dragging the torso, arms, or head, but most ground vehicles can only take it down by attaching the hook to the head. It can also be destroyed by knocking something into it with enough force.
As with any of Panay's indulgences, destroying it causes Heat. Rico will also make a quip once the statue is destroyed, poking fun at Baby Panay: "Bye bye, Baby", or "Ouch, that's gotta hurt the big man's ego.".
Trivia
- If a clumsy AI driver/pilot crashes a vehicle into a statue with enough force, it will be destroyed. However, you will still gain heat, as long as you are close to the area that the statue is in.
- While the statue is technically 3 pieces (Legs, Torso, and Head), if any one is destroyed the entire statue will be demolished. This works for Cranes as well.
- The statues are very simular to a previous statue of Saddam Hussein in Iraq, which was torn down during the mission to take down the regime, in 2003. This may be an Easter Egg.
