The [[HVY]] '''Brickade''' (internally named '''Avan''', likely an abbreviation of '''a'''rmored '''van''') is an armored van in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. The van is notable in the game for being normally inaccessible in gameplay, and as a result, can only be accessed via modding, hacking or specialized savegames. | The [[HVY]] '''Brickade''' (internally named '''Avan''', likely an abbreviation of '''a'''rmored '''van''') is an armored van in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]].

The Brickade appears as a large but stumpy and generic [[wp:Armoured bus|armored bus-like]] van, similar to the [[Securicar]] (which interestingly bears a similar "Stockade" badge), but adopts a cab-over design, a beige bodywork and much smaller wheels. In addition to a thick body shell, the Brickade is also equipped with plating that protects the front radiator grill, as well as steel mesh grating covering the front windscreen and wheel wells (which does not actually protect the Brickade's tires from gunfire). | The Brickade appears as a large but stumpy and generic [[wp:Armoured bus|armored bus-like]] van, similar to the [[Securicar]] (which interestingly bears a similar "Stockade" badge), but adopts a cab-over design, a beige bodywork and much smaller wheels. In addition to a thick body shell, the Brickade is also equipped with plating that protects the front radiator grill, as well as steel mesh grating covering the front windscreen and wheel wells (which does not actually protect the Brickade's tires from gunfire). The Brickade is implied to be associated with the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]], as it has a [[Police Radio|police radio]] and the ability to pass through [[tollbooths]] without paying. However, unlike most police vehicles, the Brickade can use a [[Pay 'n' Spray]]. Although it bears no badging, police chatter implies the Brickade is manufactured by [[HVY]]. Despite it having 2 doors in the front and 2 doors in the back like the stockades, it can only fit 2 people in it as the back doors are not programed to open and fit people in the back like the stockades can. This is because it is a unfinished project. | ||
== Color == | |||
The upper area is a faded gold color,and in the middle it has brown stripes with the faded gold color below it.Not even online multiplayer car mods can change the color of it. The only thing the mods can change on it is the color between the area the door opens and closes, otherwise its main body color is the same. | |||
== Performance == | |||
Given its armored construction and subsequently heavy weight, the Brickade's performance is as expected for a vehicle of its class. | Given its armored construction and subsequently heavy weight, the Brickade's performance is as expected for a vehicle of its class. | ||

* The '''Brickade''' was originaly going to be featured in multiplayer. It was going to be a roadblock for the bridges at a 6 star wanted level only in multiplayer freemode. | |||
* One possible reason Rockstar removed it is because in the game files it says that firemen were to drive it ,it was locked on the program setting. Then once it was fixed it would not spawn at all,so Rockstar may have decided it would be better to remove it. | |||
* The Brickade may be in the next [[Grand Theft Auto]] game since the [[Tampa]] was taken out of [[Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned]] but returned in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] | |||
