Brickade

Overview

The Brickade is a heavy armored van built by HVY. It exists in the game data of The Ballad of Gay Tony, but players will not come across it in normal play; seeing one takes glitches or other exploits. Its design borrows from the RG-12 armored personnel carrier, military Navistar trucks and the armored cash vans used by Prosegur. The name came back years later on a very different armored truck in GTA Online.

Performance

• Estimated top speed: about 100 km/h
• Mass: 6,500 kg
• Drivetrain: rear-wheel drive, front engine, 5-speed gearbox

It is slow to accelerate and slow to stop, and almost nothing in traffic can push it around.

Locations

There are no regular spawns. The van does not show up in traffic or parked anywhere in Liberty City without modifying or exploiting the game.

Trivia

• In The Ballad of Gay Tony the Brickade is a two-seat armored van. The GTA Online version is a cab-over expedition truck with room for extra passengers on the sides.
