The Lost and Damned
- During "Heavy Toll", its only appearance in the game. There is only one way to obtain this vehicle, and that is to take it to the Bohan safehouse; to prevent losing the Slamvan from this mission, it is best to push the Regina there using the Slamvan.
- After "Heavy Toll", if the player quickly gets to a nearby road, there is the slim chance that a Regina may spawn parked or in traffic.
