Securicar: Difference between revisions

The Securicar was initially designed with a heavy, robust truck-based body that is painted an overall dark blue. This design stuck for GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories, and GTA Vice City Stories, but in GTA San Andreas, it featured a radically different, somewhat smaller design, more reminiscent of real armored vans. The GTA San Andreas Securicar may bear the markings of [[Chuff Security Co.|Chuff Security]] (a lewd parody of real-life firm Chubb Security) or [[Lock and Load Security]], or be unmarked. | The Securicar was initially designed with a heavy, robust truck-based body that is painted an overall dark blue.

The Securicar can be found (albeit rarely) driving around the streets in all the games, however it is particularly rare in GTA Vice City (although a Securicar spawns in front of a bank in [[Little Havana]], it is extremely rare that one will find it unlocked). | The Securicar can be found (albeit rarely) driving around the streets in all the games, however it is particularly rare in GTA Vice City (although a Securicar spawns in front of a bank in [[Little Havana]], it is extremely rare that one will find it unlocked). | ||

The truck chassis is based on an armored [[WP:Navistar International|1989-2001 International 4000 Series]], but the front turning signals have been omitted; the cargo area has a similarly shaped roof to the GTA San Andreas rendition. It shares its basic chassis with the [[NOOSE]] [[Enforcer]] and [[Police Stockade]]; note the "Stockade 8000cc" badging on all three vehicles. | ||
This version of the Securicar will spawn a large amount of [[Money|cash]] around it if blown up, but doing so with weapons will immediately attract a 2-star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]], regardless of where it is done. To avoid this, the player can use one of the car-bombs supplied by [[Patrick McReary]] (this is his [[Friendships in GTA IV|friendship]] bonus) to blow up the car, or damage it enough while driving it that it will burst into flames and explode. | This version of the Securicar will spawn a large amount of [[Money|cash]] around it if blown up, but doing so with weapons will immediately attract a 2-star [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|wanted level]], regardless of where it is done.
