- Merchant of Menace store description

Light-gray in color, with the PLA's insignia on the side, the BJ2020 can carry up to three soldiers. Armed with a 360-degree radius turret on the back, and the ability to carry two soldiers safely in the front allows this vehicle to perform flawless hit-and-run strikes on an enemy force.

The BJ2020 can be easily found in almost any area currently under the control of the PLA and is found frequently patrolling the road or parked nearby.

Collecting one national treasure will make the BJ2020 available for purchase from the Merchant of Menace at the price of $12,000-$16,800.

Tactics
The BJ2020 Scout is similar to the Sungri Scout in terms of speed, armor and capacity, but unlike the North Korean jeep, it can rotate the gun 360 degrees instead of only 90. However, the BJ2020 has less ammunitions and lacks the useful NK disguise of the Sungri. Both vehicles have their pros and cons.

Real Life
The BJ2020 is based off the two-door variant of the BAW BJ 2020.
