This article lists the colors and symbols by which to distinguish the factions of the Just Cause game series.

Colors (JC and JC2)[]

The different factions of San Esperito and Panau can be most vividly identified by their use of colors. This makes spotting different people of different factions apart easy to avoid killing allies and also identifying threats. Most faction colors make use of typical military gear and camouflage and some are just painted variants of cars usually driven around by civilians. Also, the colors represent the faction which own a vehicle.

Some vehicles, most notably Guerrilla ones, are not properly painted or marked with indications of their allegiance.

The factions in San Esperito and Panau have completely repainted all their vehicles (with the Panau Military being an exception). This changes in Medici (see the JC3 section below).

Just Cause[]

Some civilian vehicles may have the same colors, so one should keep an eye out for the symbols of the organizations. The main colors are shown as italic. The other colors are used less frequently.

Some factions in the game have four decals that appear on vehicles. A Primary decal, which appears on almost every one of their vehicles, a Secondary logo, which is rarer, a tertiary logo, which is even more rare, and a striped logo, which is also rare. The Agency, Rioja Cartel, and Montano Cartel do not have four decals.

Note that the Panau Military, unlike the other factions, do not paint their vehicles in faction colors. Instead, the vehicles, depending on the environment, are painted with either a jungle, desert, or winter camouflage, and if applicable, with military symbols painted on either the sides or the hood.

It should be noted that most Rebel and Lacrima Rebel faction vehicles are not completely repainted. Instead they have quickly and lazily painted faction symbols. The vehicles are all hijacked from either the D.R.M., Medici Military or the Black Hand, with the original colors still visible.

The entire game uses a similar color palette for artistic and gameplay reasons: Red is used to mark Chaos objects and Small Destructibles. Azure is used for some Collectable Items like Rebel Shrines and Ancient Tombs, as well as liberated settlements (Orange in Lacrima) and every main character but Di Ravello (Zeno mixes the first two colors for story reasons). Cyan is used for Bavarium. Finally Yellow is used to mark other destructible objects and points of interest.

Just Cause 4[]

  • Black Hand in JC4 - Most of their vehicles are painted in a camouflage pattern of multiple shades of black and grey, possibly some sort of urban camo (although it's not very effective sine they can be easily spotted from the distance). Some vehicles are just plain grey. All vehicles have a few red parts (mostly thin stripes and small symbols).
  • Army of Chaos - They appropriate their vehicles from the Black Hand. They seem to start by repainting the entire vehicle to a light and medium green camouflage, which seems to fit rainforests/jungles and possibly deserts forests, but then add random brightly colored graffiti, which completely defeats the purpose of the camouflage. The wheels are separately either yellow, orange, purple, or light green.
  • Dare Devils of Destruction DLC factions:
    • Gearheads - Pattern of black, white and blue, sometimes a tad yellow. They have a blue gear-type symbol.
    • LNP - Bright colours, such as red, purple, yellow and pink-ish. Their symbol is a pink circle with an A in the middle.
    • Los Artistas - Red black and white. They have two wings and a head\skull in a white symbol.
  • Danger Rising DLC faction:
    • The Agency - Mostly white with some black, grey and orange parts. The old JC1 Agency logo returns.
