'''Eight-Ten VCN''' (real name '''Vice City News''') is a news station located in [[Downtown Vice City|Downtown]], [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. The doorway at ground floor leads directly to the rooftop. In GTA Vice City, a [[VCN Maverick]] and a [[Hidden Packages|hidden package]] can be found on the rooftop helipad.


The '''Armadillo''' is a [[helicopter]] used by [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City's]] [[Fire Department of Vice City|Fire Department]] to put out fires in [[1984]], the setting of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]]. By [[1986]], the setting of [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], the vehicle is not being used.
There is an unused radio station logo, and a [[radar]] icon leftover in the game files.


==Description==
== Easter Egg ==
Similar in design to the [[wp:Bell 412|Bell 412]], the Armadillo is a relatively large helicopter that nevertheless possesses relatively good speed, with moderately steep pitches that help increase its acceleration at the expense of losing altitude faster.
There is an [[Easter Egg]] secret room in an adjacent building next to the helipad on the roof of the [[Vice City News|VCN]] building. If the player jumps off the helipad into the building next to it, they would go through the wall and land in the room.  


The fire department version has a bucket attached by a rope, which is used to carry water from the sea to the fires. Entering a FDVC Armadillo starts a [[Fire Copter]] side mission, where the player has to get sea water and use it to take out fires on rooftops.
* In GTA Vice City, inside the room is an large chocolate egg on a podium with the words "Happy Easter" on it.
* In GTA Vice City Stories on the [[PlayStation 2]], the easter egg is seen as being under construction. However, the room is blocked by a solid wall and is inaccessible on the [[PlayStation Portable]] version.
