TheLordMarvel Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) No appreciation for this spectacle? It's not the most beautiful vehicle, there's no customization whatsoever, but that doesn't stop this from being an absolute powerhouse. Kinda-Fast, Agile, and an immensely powerful vehicle. I thought I would hate it when I first saw it, but I decided to try it out for myself and I loved it! AB is also unique in the way that it can plow away as many vehicles as you wish without destroying the engine in the process, you may just end up destroying your headlights, but you got two more on the roof, so all is well; And the front windscreen is heavily armored. Taking multiple shots before shattering. (Akin to the armored Baller, Schafter, etc) - Only downside, however; is the wheels are not bullet proof nor can you add BP tires. Here is mine. I nicknamed it 'La Bête' Edited December 14, 2016 by LordMarvel Halal Cyborg and Malcot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wynd Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 It's sadly one of the useless vehicles of this DLC. I do find it comical how ARMORED is in the name yet a armored v12 can soak a rocket hit and this cannot lol. This thing is basically a reskinned technical with a plow on the front. kovaandr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicalBasturd Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) Funny enough I actually bought this. The most fun for three dudes in a five star pursuit. The plow on this thing decimated anything that it rammed. An insurgent bounced off this thing's plow. It did survive one vehicle explosion but with major mechanical damage. Bulletproof until the door falls off. Like others have said though, it can't take a direct hit from explosives.

TarnishedGamer Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Is there a mission that involves this thing? And by that I mean pull out phone, click on load quick jobs and scroll to special vehicle mission. Shame the missions are random and unable to load specific ones, unless I've missed something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasterian Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 There is a special vehicle mission for this. I won't spoil much, but you get to use both the plowing capabilities of this car as well as the turret. It's surprisingly quick for what it is, can do burnouts and handles reasonably OK for a big boxy truck with a heap of junk strapped to it. Plowing capability is lower than the Phantom Wedge, and it can sometimes flip over if you overdo it with the ramming. This can be dangerous to whoever is operating the turret on the roof, just like on the Insurgent with the gun and the turret Limo. Still, it's a Boxville. It likes tipping over. It's a bit wonky when climbing offroad because of the extra length up front and being so top heavy. It's almost like an Armored Kuruma, except you have more firepower for the price of being slower and more cumbersome. I haven't tested it in freeroam, though.

livejoker Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Wow, is this seriously the only thread about the AB? It's such an amazing vehicle. Pop some Twisted Metal tunes and go on a rampage! Agreed that it sucks that it can't take a single rocket hit. I feel it should be justifiably buffed to take at least two rockets. It's not the fastest and only has a machine gun on the top. If it was more resistant it would be my daily driver - still, fully recommend it for those that love the whole Twisted Metal/Mad Max feel. It's quite agile, surprisingly, and if it was in a Twisted Metal game it would be in the mid to top range of vehicles for being great overall. Best enjoyed with a friend who can man the gun but also enjoyable by yourself for camping gang attacks and taking out those bad spawns. I would literally pay 1mill in-game to turn it into a PV so I can add custom horns to it (creepy ice cream truck horn, anyone?) and maybe miniguns on the front.

xXxKAMIKAZExXx Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 This van looks incredible! I really want to add it to my collection, but the lack of bulletproof tires puts me off - especially with the price. That, and the fact that I mostly play in solo sessions.

Professional Amateur Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Sooooo, is it a good idea to invest in an Armored Boxville? The VIP work for it is easy money, it can ram cars for quite a while whilst taking little damage, and is a hell of a lot faster than the normal version. Only real downside is the lack of bulletproof tyres, but it's still a fun thing to own, IMO. One of those things to be considered as more of a fun purchase than a real money maker, but it's nice to sit AFK in a tunnel for 10 mins and come out 35 grand richer. E: upon reading this thread more, don't even have to go into a tunnel. Just leave the Boxville somewhere and get out, since the NPCs only really attack you and not the van.

Another good thing is that it doesn't smoke after hitting a few cars like the Phantom Wedge and Ramp Buggy. But like you said, only downsides are that the normal armored boxville lacks BP tires and explosive resistant armor.

Halal Cyborg Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just for clarity as I tested everything a while ago I'd like to add that if you never enter the boxville at all you get 30k instead of 35k Goingcrowd9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goingcrowd9 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Just for clarity as I tested everything a while ago I'd like to add that if you never enter the boxville at all you get 30k instead of 35kI know . One time I was already cruising my Tug Boat on a remote-location, so I didn't bother to enter it. I use the VIP work for some fun, not even bothered to find and sell a sentinel 20 sec after the mission is complete... Some things I usually do during fortied: 1 buzzard (npc) dogfighting if you kill all the npc cars npc buzzards shooting homing missiles will spawn 2 cruising in a vehichle 3 take snaps or upload them to R* 4 actively kill the npc using knife's only 5 go near office/wherever I intended to go to 6 etc...
