The Prizefighter Tank is a vehicle in Just Cause 4.

Appearance

Prizefighter's hull resembles the German Puma IFV, while the turret resembles that of the BAE Systems CV90. It has more similarities with an infantry fighting vehicle than a tank.

There is a serial number (S04 9905) stamped onto the back of every Prizefighter. It's not unique, like car license plates, so its purpose is unknown. It could refer to the vehicle/equipment upgrade version.

It has several hatches all over the top, but the only usable one is the commander's hatch on the turret. Its hull shape is similar to the CS Odjur.

It appears to only have rolled steel armor, which is realistic for a vehicle of this type. Rolled steel armor was indeed in use with main battle tanks, but they have since switched to composite armor. This explains its relatively weaker durability. Note that despite this, JC4's equalization system makes it exactly as strong as the Warchief Assault Tank.

Its machine gun, visible on the lower part of the left of the turret, seems to be of a decent caliber, maybe 7.62x51mm, while the cannon is much thinner than a standard tank cannon (~120-125mm). It looks to be no more than 80mm.

Performance

This vehicle has a slow start up to get moving, but once the the engine is fully running, acceleration is decent and speed is good. It is fairly quick for a light/medium tank. Its the second most armored, second most durable land vehicle in Just Cause 4 (with the Warchief Assault Tank being the first). Armor is around the entire vehicle and it can sustain 3 tank shells (or missiles, or other "standard" explosions) before becoming inoperable (same as the other tanks). Although its more armored than a Reptile AAV, Pointman Scout Tank or Bloodhound Siege Heli (and many more vehicles), the difference is small due to JC4's "equalization" system.

The Prizefighter Tank is equipped with a Cannon (300 rounds) and a coaxial machine gun in the turret (1600 rounds).

Trivia

• As mentioned before, the Prizefighter Tank takes inspiration from real IFVs. However, the vehicle's in-universe designation classifies it as a Tank, much like the CS Odjur, Urga Bkolos 2100 and Imperator Bavarium Tank from Just Cause 3.
