Overview[]

Vehicles Capuchin Guntruck

Capuchin icon

The Capuchin is a 5-ton flatbed truck rarely used by the Venezuelan Army. This is the basic variant of the Capuchins. It has no armament and does not have much purpose since it can only carry one passenger.

Tactics[]

The Capuchin is not as commonly available at the beginning of the game as most vehicles of its type. In combat, it can only be used as a makeshift battering ram to clear the path to wherever the player has to get to. In any case, the Capuchin is so uncommon and relatively useless that it should be avoided. Instead, players usually should choose any other Capuchin truck or other faster vehicles available over the Capuchin.

Real Life[]

The Capuchin trucks are visually most similar to the American M35A3 family of 2-1/2 ton trucks. The 2-1/2 ton being the Off Road weight rating making a 5 ton on road capacity on primary hardball and secondary surfaces. During the American conflict in Vietnam the M35 family were modified in many different configurations such as HillBilly Armor Guntrucks, Anti Air Guntrucks and Quadmount Machine Guntrucks.

Trivia[]

  • During the 'Tropical Island Getaway' contract, at the bottom of the PLAV HQ mountain on the road to Guanare, there may be a Capuchin carrying five VZ soldiers in the back.
