Yes. At last. It's the tuk-tuk we've all been waiting for. It's called - logically enough - the 'Tuk Tuk Boom Boom'. It's a 'thank you' present from developer Avalanche to the Just Cause 2 community and it's free to download now. Look at it. It's a humble auto rickshaw converted into a magnificent motorised beast with massive testicles.

As well as having an enormous piece of heavy artillery in the back, this three-wheeled motor vehicle features: "heavily reinforced and multi-layered carbon fibre composite shielding, a polycarbonate laminated armour windscreen and quad front-mounted air horns."

In other words, it is CAPTAIN BAD ASS.

Huh? World Event? More like a video game event, which should be posted in its appropriate section.

Oh, and this looks fishy to me. Sounds like advertising. Normally only advertisers walk into a place and make their first post advocating a product. In this case, a custom vehicle from the game Just Cause 2.

Wow.
Like it's goint to stay in one pice, after a 105 fires.
Tank cannon are meant to stay on tank; otherwise the recoil of that little baby would shred the vehicle to crumbles.

Perhaps they used a recoiless rifle?

Recoiless weapon are a lot smaller.
Also, a recoiless weapon (bazooka like) would need about 7 yards of empty space behind, to avoid killing someone or putting something on fire. That is a rear charged weapon, were it recoiless, where should hide the recharger?

Actually I used that suggestion because you hinted that it may be a 105mm weapon, which was the most common caliber fielded in recoiless during the 50s and 60s. They also ranged from 76mm to 120mm if my memory serves.

Also, a recoiless weapon (bazooka like) would need about 7 yards of empty space behind, to avoid killing someone or putting something on fire.


Perhaps that's part of the design... it delivers a healthy dose of lethality both fore and aft Honestly sounds perfect for a video game vehicle and were it real I'd love to have one. Not only could I eliminate the traffic blocking my path, but the jerk that's tailgating me would get his comeuppance as well!

goood points, but its a video game :P isnt always uber-realistic
and a weak point to the vehicle: couldnt a zombie or person simply grab you and tear you right off it? it has no doors at all and looks very vulnerable when not moving

Yeah, this is definitely more a "video game" topic than a WEPR topic, so I'll move it. Also changed the title slightly to comply with the forum censor.

Also, has anybody here actually played Just Cause? It's a blast but if only the vehicle physics made a little more sense...

Um, we're playing a video game here. Real-life constraints do not matter. Oh, and are there any zombies in that game? Really?

Ah, sorry Strop I haven't gotten to playing the game.

Couldn't you be shot from the side? That would suck and would kill you if you in a chase. A chase with guns.
