Description[]
The Dark Signal APC, designation number 25-0-624D, is a 6x6 wheeled fighting vehicle used as transport for Michael Becket's squad. It features a roomy transport compartment with six seats, a fire extinguisher, and a weapons rack for the team's equipment. It is exceptionally durable, to the point that nothing in the game can damage it (though this is simply just game design). The interior is roomy and has an overhead touch screen computer. These features are similar to the real world Stryker, however, not to the same extent. An APC Turret Gun is mounted in an exposed turret for self-defense and is used twice by Becket during the course of the game to deal with attacking Replica Forces.
It is driven by Manuel Morales throughout the game; he is also able to operate the turret gun, and does so in the final level to support Becket's assault on the Still Island facility.
Trivia[]
- The Dark Signal APC appears to be based on the 6x6 version of the MOWAG Piranha APC, much like the Canadian AVGP or Cadillac Gage commando LAV-300. The US M1128 Stryker, LAV-25 and Canadian LAV III are based on the 8x8 variant of this vehicle.
- The ID numbers "25-0-624D" are placed on the left and right sides instead of on the front and back sides, which goes against military vehicle ID code.
- Before the retail version, the means of travel for Dark Signal is implied to be Mil Mi-24 Hind-D Gunship.
- The APC seems to have medical supplies and armor in it, as the players will get supplies every time they leave the vehicle or operate the APC Turret Gun. While weapons are seen in the vehicle, the player cannot get ammunition resupplied.
