This article lists the rarest vehicles in the Just Cause game series.

Purpose

There's a large number of different unique vehicles, or just unique faction versions of vehicles. Some versions are so rare that players who've played the game for hundreds of hours have not seen them. Obviously "rare" is a relative term, so some players might have spotted some of these vehicles more often than others.

This article also includes vehicles that are unique to specific missions and/or cut-scenes.

Modifying the game(s) can let the player spawn probably any known vehicles, except for cut-scene vehicles that might not actually be programmed as vehicles.

MV	Agency version, black.	Is used during Devil's Drop Zone.	Push it inside the garage with another vehicle immediately after the mission ends. Be sure to find it on the dirt path and get on the turret. Failure to do so will make it disappear once you lose line of sight. Once in the garage, it will become a fully usable vehicle and can be saved. In the PC version, the vehicle does not appear on the dirt path after the mission and therefore cannot be obtained.
MV	Agency version, purple and with a different suspension and wheels.	Cut-scene during Devil's Drop Zone.	Unobtainable.
Cutler Bullhorn	San Esperito Military version.	2 appear during the mission Devil's Drop Zone.	Is obtainable, if hijacked before you approach the beach when they're driving towards the beach.

Kill Franco Alifano inside the Fusilier Commander, then hijack one of the MVs and go to a safehouse. The nearest safehouse is Guerrilla 02 Camp Riverbed, but you could alternatively bring it to Rioja 01 Buena Fortuna because you have to liberate the city you are in (after mission completion) in order to obtain Guerrilla 02 Camp Riverbed.
Battaille GPT-6	Montano Cartel version	Appears in the mission Test of Loyalty	Drive it to some safehouse and find a way to fail the mission.

Ballard Centronel AAWV- 21	San Esperito Military version	One spawn point and two mission appearances	Can be saved if you have a garage that has a high enough roof, but considering the spawn point this isn't necessary.
Meister ATV 4	Black Hand version	Appears in Streets of Fire	It can be saved by taking it to the nearest garage and then killing yourself to fail (exit) the mission, allowing you to save the game. However, be aware that the closest available one is Rioja 07 "Motor City", which requires 1500 Rioja points. There are two in both parts of Esperito City, but those liberations require this mission to be completed, thus making those two safehouses unusable at the moment.

Fukuda Buckskin Trapper	Black Hand version	Appears in Streets of Fire and Dismissed Without Honors	The only way to obtain it is during Streets of Fire. Get in the Meister ATV 4 and start driving towards the nearest safehouse. Black Hand vehicles won't spawn unless you're in the truck.

Suggestions include: Park Vanderbildt Streamliners in front of the building to block the exit, before you free Esperanza. Carmona will be stuck as an easy target. Catch up with Carmona during the chase, enter stunt position and quickly enter the vehicle. The nearest safehouse is "Guerrilla 33, Campo Rosinante", also see the map of locations of the safehouses. The one appearing in sidemissions can't be saved.
Ballard Centronel AAWV- 21	Unmarked.	Appears at the beginning of the mission Sink the Buccaneer	When the mission starts, go to the unmarked military base and get in the tank or hijack it and drive it to the "Guerrilla 32 Campo Central" safehouse in Esperito City - North (or any other safehouse that it fits into).
The Vampire	Monster truck (design very different from any vehicle)	Very few (4-5) spawn points.	Can be driven, but due to its suspension and height, it can only be parked at Agency safehouses. That and because it has spawn points, there is almost no point saving it, unless you want to.
Harland DTWV-2 AA gun	San Esperito Military version	Only one spawn point	Drive to a safehouse.
Buccaneer	The only ship of its kind	Only appearance in Sink the Buccaneer	Unobtainable.

Garret Paladin	San Esperito Military	In Guerrilla sidemission 11.	Can be driven, but not saved. You can go to the place where the mission takes place after killing the soldier and get the car and finish the mission, but is impossible to save it in a safehouse.
Prison barge	San Esperito Police Department	At the El Grande Fort during and possibly before the mission Breakout. Only in the Xbox and Xbox 360 versions of the game.	Unobtainable Stationary vehicle.

Urga Mstitel	Golden.	Appears in the mission Son of Medici. Used by Di Ravello. Unlocks at Rebel drop after collecting all the Di Ravello tapes.

Just Cause 4

Note: Just Cause 4 doesn't have normal saved games and there's no way to replay missions at will (save for the racing DLC missions), so the below options can each only be tried once.

Vehicle	What makes it unique	Location	How to drive it (if possible)
Emsavion Utility Heli	Garland King Studios faction colors and symbols.	Is seen in several Garland King sidemissions.	Abandon any mission where you see one and hijack it. One is at the end of the mission Scene: Vanessaaaa! It doesn't despawn when the mission ends, so it's possible to get it without failing the mission. The problem is that the wind may immediately force you into a nearby bridge, destroying the helicopter. Being warned about the wind should make it very easy. One might be at the end of the mission Scene: The Dawnflower, but the end of that mission leaves the player with heat, so it may be difficult to get away with an unharmed helicopter.
El Espada	It's the only known galleon in the Just Cause Universe.	Puerto Espada	Unobtainable. The ship was scuttled there in 1583 and the port was later built on that spot. The ship is only mentioned in the port's description.
Flying saucers	Each is unique.	Barely seen in a cut-scene in the mission César's Theory. Seen and flown by Rico in a cut-scene in the mission Operation Windwalker. Seen and flown by Rico in a cut-scene in the mission Operation Illapa.	Unobtainable. They're cut-scene only, so not even modding can unlock them and all are destroyed in the missions.
Sandstinger / Snowstinger	Unique train.	Spoken of in the mission Meeting Lanza Morales. Used in the mission Operation Sandstinger. Used in the mission Operation Illapa. This is where it's renamed to "Snowstinger".	Unobtainable. While knowledge on spawning them remains unknown, this might be possible with the right mods.
2019 Vistosa Supercar	Has the following special features: "turbo boost" (jumping ability). Unique painted stripes Big spoiler (probably doesn't actually change the handling). Speedometer has no numbers (other than the bottom center number). There is no name displayed under the speedometer.	One of Garland's random encounters called "Camera-Ready" provides one.	Just get in. Rico needs to take it somewhere anyway.
Vagabundo Buggy	Unique version, not in the supply drop. It's painted in a unique paint combination with stripes and has a spoiler and nitrous.	Parked at Ensueño.	Just get in.
Camión trailer truck	Rare fourth version of the semi-trailer trucks that isn't in the supply drop. Any truck can tow these, but each truck is meant for a specific type of trailer. This truck is meant for a military trailer with a rotating antenna.	One of the ports on the east coast. More locations listed at the Semi-trailer trucks article.	Just get in.
Warchief Assault Tank	Orange paint.	At least 3 are on the sides of the racetracks at Isla Santuario (Dare Devils of Destruction DLC). 2 are on the southern half of the islands. 1 is in the south-west of the northern half of the islands.	Unobtainable. They only serve as obstacles for the motoring events. They can be seen during free-roam gameplay, but they're rigged to explode if touched.
Unique cargo plane.	Unique aircraft. It has 4 turboprop engines and a big loading door at the back.	Seen in a cut-scene near the end of the mission Trial of Initiation.	Unobtainable. Due to the comic-book-like style of the DLC mission cut-scenes, this vehicle is only a drawn picture.
