Truck

The **Truck** (plural ‘**Trucks**’), are one of the most explosive of the vehicles in the Payback 2 videogame. They are well-known for their high hit-points and large sizes. Being a Truck, the handling and speed is lack-luster, having a large turning radius and low top speed. Due to being a large vehicle, it can easily be struck by the weapons. It is not recommended to bail at high speeds, as there is a high chance to get caught by its tanker and run over. The vehicle is often used in Capture The Swag, due to the protection it provides the player. It struggles to gain speed off-road and, can only reach 26 MPH+. Previously, the design was based on a Scania P94, and now is changed top resemble a Peterbilt 379.

## **Tips and Tricks**

* Use the Truck as a blockade to trap enemies inside.
* You can also use it to break through blockades due to how powerful it is (you can also do this with a Bus).
* You can also destroy the tanker and deal MASSIVE damage to the surrounding enemies.

## ***Trivia***

* This vehicle is the second highest in terms of health, only to be surpassed by the Tank and on par with the Bus.
* The only trailer it spawns with is a tanker, which cannot be detached.
* It occasionally spawns in traffic without a tanker. Although, when you select it as your vehicle, it would always spawn with a tanker.
* There's a glitch that when you shoot at the tanker with a Rocket Launcher, the rocket would not explode and instead spiral out of control, this is a very strange event that happens very rarely.
* Prior to the December 2016 update, the Truck would ONLY spawn in yellow.
* In story mode it's featured prominently in a mission series named "Going For Gold", where as they player needs to steal a black one, and upon delivery, a green gas will be released that turns those that are examining the Truck mad and attempt to kill the player (the mission ends upon death of both enemies). It always has a tanker and cannot be driven after the completion of the mission due to being parked heads-inside the lockup, prohibiting the access for the truck. However, this is actually untrue because the player can actually just walk through the garage door and get in the Truck without any trouble.
* It's also prominently featured in "Born Slippy", where the player is sent to pick up a truck filled with Explosives (and napalm as the dialogue hints at) and send it into a Rival's Base.
* In a Crook Campaign race mission "Trucking Hell", all racers are forced to use a Truck, and all Trucks have an attached tanker. Also, its mission name is a pun to the word "*f\*\*\*in' hell*”, and a reference to a show named "Trucking Hell".
* When reversing, there is a beeping sound.
* The maximum reverse speed is 33 MPH
* The tractor itself moves significantly faster than the one with the tanker.
* Its explosion power and radius is tied with the Tank when destroyed.
* Shooting Rockets, dropping Grenades, and sticking remote Explosives. Between the tractor and the tanker will deal critical damage to the Truck, regardless of how much health it has left.
* The tanker will always have the phrase "Apex Oil" written on the sides.
* When reversing a Truck with a tanker attached to it, there will sometimes be a double beeping sound.
* Strangely, shooting the tanker also does damage to the tractor of the Truck. It also doesn't even blow up when you shoot it, only blowing up if a rocket hits it.
* Due to it having a gasoline tanker, this probably explains why the explosion of the vehicle is almost as powerful as the Remote Explosives.

* This vehicle cannot be found parked in Urban Shore.
* Sometimes, when you walk into the tanker of the Truck, you will walk under it instead of walking straight through it.
* It is the only vehicle that has vertical exhaust pipes.
* It is notable being the only articulated vehicle in Payback 2 game.
* The tractor itself without the trailer also appears on some maps. But just rarely, they are commonly found in House Park and Allegro City.
* A glitch in House Park is when a Truck with a trailer drives into one of the fenced-up houses, then the Truck will get stuck in the fence and fling around until it is destroyed.
* Avoid making quick or tight maneuvers, especially at high speeds, otherwise the Truck may capsize if you hit a slope or another vehicle with it's side.
* It is the longest vehicle in the game, not counting the one without the oil tanker.
* It is also capable of flipping vehicles over and capsize the Bus with the Truck. However, this is ineffective against Tanks, as they are extremely heavy.
* Strangely, the vehicle takes no damage when crashing to objects with the oil tanker, but it can still take damage if it gets hit by projectiles.
