The Reapers are one of the three illegal paramilitary factions in Just Cause 2.

Description[]

The Reapers are a revolutionary gang located in Panau that believe in communism. They are led by Bolo Santosi. The Reapers have been a thorn in the side of the Panauan government since the 1930s. Based in the agricultural flat lands which sprawl across the island, these villagers have long preached revolution. Their revolutionary goals are to bring communism to Panau and unite all citizens against the "fascist pigs". Some time later, the People's Republic of China heard of their cause, and funded their gang in the hopes of one day taking control of the large Panauan oil fields.

During the 1930s when Asian immigrants came, they brought pro-communist Chinese with them which soon started the Reapers. During the Cold War, Panau was not stable and naturally NATO countries supported anti-communist ideals in Panau, while the Soviets and Chinese supported pro-communist ideals, which lead to the Reapers growth due to Soviet assistance. Later when "Baby" Panay's autocratic government (who the Reapers accuse of fascism) took over Panau, the Reapers had enough people and resources and started a pro-communist revolutionary gang.

Karl Blaine describes the Reapers as a faction which follows Che Guevara's footsteps and says that they are "all about the land and the people, as long it's their land and their people". The Reapers have been known to be greedy.

One of Bolo Santosi's main objectives is to control Panau and unite its people, but she wants to fill her pockets with money more than anything. In fact, after completing Rocket Science, according to the Sloth Demon, "Don't be turned by Bolo Santosi's beauty and power. She wants a revolution for sure, but will never relinquish her personal wealth. She's in love with money, and will allow nothing to stand in her way."

Areas of influence[]

Members[]

  • Bolo Santosi - Leader.
  • Ranger - Wearing desert camouflage, pants, a green shirt, and a red scarf.
  • Elites - Wear desert camouflage pants, a shirt, a red scarf, 2 bandoliers.
  • Technicians - Wear desert camouflage pants, a lab coat, a red scarf. These guys only ever show up during Stronghold takeovers and possibly one mission.
  • Whores/spies - As explained in the missions Helicopter Hangaround and Driving Miss Stacey, the Reapers also employ a large number of whores to spy on military activities. During the mission Rocket Science, Bolo mentions that "We have eyes and ears everywhere".
    • The only specifically known whore is Stacey.

Weapons[]

Like the other rebel factions, they carry randomized weapons like Submachine Guns, Assault Rifles, Sawed-Off Shotguns and Pistols. Notice that all faction soldiers (Reapers, Ular Boys and Roaches) are generally weak and should not be depended on during a firefight, but they do make distractions for government troops and can help when trying to make a getaway. Getting noticed near any Reapers will give you heat.

A complete list of weapons they possess:

Missions[]

Main article: Category:Reaper Faction Missions.

You can also collect black boxes for them, for money and chaos points.

Vehicles[]

Main article: Faction vehicles.

Their gang vehicles, the Marten Storm, can be found in 2 different types: the regular Marten Storm III and the Marten Storm III-2. They are colored in bright red with a Reapers logo on the side. The cars are colored red because they are Communists (red is the Communist color). See the Marten Storm page for more information. There are also many other vehicles across Panau belonging to the Reapers, like the rare Reapers versions of the Fengding EC14FD2, Saas PP12 Hogg, MV V880, Winstons Amen 69 and the MV Quartermaster. It can definitely be assumed that the Reapers steal a lot of military vehicles.

Name Markings Location
Chevalier Express HT None Provided for Slippin' and Sliding and another shows up near the Reapers doctor.
Fengding EC14FD2 Reapers and Panau Military
Hamaya GSY650 None Provided for Ups and Downs and Can I get a Witness.
H-62 Quapaw Reapers and Panau Military
  • Stronghold takeovers.
  • One is destroyed in Can I get a Witness.
  • If the Reapers are chosen for Into the Den, one will appear near Wajah Ramah Fortress delivering engineers. Strangely, this one is marked with the Panau Military logo instead of the Reapers one. It's not known if this was a development mistake or if the Reapers painted it to try and fool the Panau Military, which would be... not very effective.
GV-104 Razorback None Rico delivers one to them in Taming the Beast. This vehicle is never seen again.
Marten Storm III Reapers Usual gameplay, in missions, and Reapers HQ.
MV Quartermaster Reapers Checking the Menu.
MV V880 Reapers Hell on Wheels.

Trivia[]

  • The character on the Reapers symbol is a letter from the Tamil alphabet " ஞ " representing "ñ".
  • The Reapers have some similarities to The Reapers in inFAMOUS: both gangs share the same name, both have red as their gang color, and both are led by women.
  • Despite being enemies with the Roaches, Rico can still drive Reapers vehicles with Reapers in them into Roaches strongholds and they will not fire on you. This is because the game developers never designed faction NPCs to shoot at each other.
  • This faction is similar to the Guerrillas in Just Cause (1). They both represent left-wing politics, but the Guerrillas used open war in their revolution. The guerrillas also had much greater support from the people.
  • Out of the 49 sidemissions in Just Cause 2, the ones that start with C, D, J, and U are exclusive to this faction only. In fact, there is only one mission starting with J and U.
  • Somewhat unrealistically, every "road AI" grunt and elite can operate a UH-10 Chippewa, AH-33 Topachula, Sivirkin 15 Havoc, and Rowlinson K22, though it is possible some of them may have pilot training.
