The MV Quartermaster is a military off-road car in Just Cause 2.

Description

It's one of the 3 very similar vehicles, based on the HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, or "Humvee" as some call it).

• MV Command.
• MV Quartermaster.
• MV V880.

In terms of design, the MV Quartermaster can be considered a mix between the MV V880 and Marten Storm III, being a lightly armored vehicle that can come with a Mounted Gun turret and features a pair of small doors in the rear.

It is possible (and quite common) to find a turretless Quartermaster.

This vehicle is one of a few four-door vehicles and has the largest people capacity of 6 people at once in the game. The way to have 6 people is 4 inside the vehicle, 1 in the turret and Rico in Stunt position. Other characters can't (or don't) use the stunt position. Otherwise the capacity would be 7.

It can spawn in snow, desert and jungle camouflage, and a black variant is used by the Panauan Secret Service. In the mission Checking the Menu it spawns in Reapers red.

The things at the back of the vehicle which resemble radios of some sort seem to have no use to Rico.

The vehicle can come in many various colors, including black without mounted gun (Panau Secret Service), red (Reapers), white (Berawan Besar Mountains), green, and khaki (Lautan Lama Desert).

Performance

Generally, the Quartermaster drives the same as its base model (MV V880), it's just that you have a different rear section to stare at while driving around Panau. This means that it's a very good off-road vehicle with a moderate top speed and a small turning radius that allows one to pull off some really sharp turns.

Locations

There is no known version of this vehicle that is marked green.

During missions

• Many missions, such as "Taming the Beast", that contain Roadblocks, have Quartermasters with gunners as part of their lineup.
• Two can be seen at the end of the Reapers mission "Checking the Menu" in a unique red color with Reaper soldiers manning the guns.
• The second Ular Stronghold takeover, "Pilgrimage", forces you to encounter one as you head for the small ruined temple at the top of the village. They will drive in and fire on your comrades, surrounded by soldiers. One Quartermaster will "greet" you near the main entrance of the village.
• In the Ular mission "One Deadly Sin" a black MV Quartermaster with no turret is protecting your objective. It is obtainable, but is very hard to get without it being destroyed because you will be shot at once inside it.
• In the mission cutscenes of "Mountain Rescue". Jade Tan is transported in a turretless desert camouflage version. Strangely, during gameplay it turns into a winter camouflaged MV V880, but in the cut-scenes it is desert camouflage.

During free-roam gameplay

• At heat level 4 and 5, these vehicles will be deployed against Rico, but they are all turretless. In the Berawan Besar Mountains and Lautan Lama Desert, a winter and desert camouflage version will come, respectively. In all other regions, they will all be green.
• At every military stronghold that has not been taken over yet. Naturally, they have turret gunners who will shoot you on sight, in addition to the onslaught of Panau Military personnel inside the stronghold.
  • Awan Cendawan Power Plant
  • Emas Hitam Oil Refinery
  • Gunung Gila Pangkat - Winter camouflage.
  • Kampung Bahari
  • Kem Gunung Gurun - Desert camouflage.
  • Kem Hutan
  • Lembah Firdaus
  • Pelabuhan Saudagar Harbor
  • Pemainan Racun
• At multiple Military bases in Panau:
  • X:14940; Y:17915 - Pulau Berapi military port. On the eastern side.
  • X:14200; Y:27810.
  • X:22305; Y:23335.
  • Pulau Panau Kecil.
  • At X:10370; Y:22765 - Pekan Keris Perak military base.
  • At X:22160; Y:23265 - Kem Udara Wau Pantas military airport.
  • At X:14120; Y:27780 - Sungai Geneng military base.

• It is extremely rare, but possible to run into a black version of the MV Quartermaster with no turret patrolling the bridges connecting the Panau City districts during night time. It is driven by Panauan Secret Service Men instead of the usual soldiers. It is possible this only occurs once per save game, while many people will never see this phenomenon.

Trivia

• You can keep the sirens on even after exiting the vehicle by going into a stunt position and jumping off. This works with every vehicle in Just Cause 2 equipped with a siren.
• The Urga Szturm 63A can be considered its spiritual successor in Just Cause 3.
• The only place you can find a winter camouflaged version of this vehicle with a Mounted Gun is outside the Gunung Gila Pangkat Facility before Rocket Science. This variant can be considered a rare vehicle.

During early game development, the MVs looked much more detailed and closely resembled the HMMWV. This screenshot is from an early version of the mission "Mountain Rescue".

In the Panau Police Mod. Note: the turret has been modified so that it is a minigun instead of a Mounted Gun.
