The Story So Far...
It was the time of a worldwide oil shortage. The U.S.-heavily dependent on
affordable gasoline-was on the verge of an economic breakdown. Strikes, riots, and crime
were rampant. All available law enforcement was brought into metropolitan areas, leaving
the outlands unprotected.
All this was music to the ears of the Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime (OMAR), a foreign
multinational oil consortium bound on monopolising the world oil trade. The U.S. was the
last country opposing OMAR's price fixing schemes and the vicious conglomerate
was,prepared to go to great lengths to bring the U.S. to its knees.
Enter Sid Burn, the best professional terrorist money could buy. Sid was promised $100
million by OMAR if he managed to push the U.S. economy over the edge. Sid immediately
began to organise his troops in remote areas of the southwest. Known as the
"Coyotes," these motorised gangsters soon became synonymous with vandalism and
chaos. They began to target oil refineries and other vital industrial and commercial
installations throughout the region. Small towns and settlements were terrorised.
With no one to turn to for protection, some desperate civilians decided to take the law
into their own hands. led by a trucker named Convoy and referred to simply as
"Vigilantes," this oddball group of volunteers soon became a major hindrance to
Sid's plans.
In the meantime, the U.S. government, feeling more vulnerable than ever, was intensifying
its research and development of a new military arsenal. The most advanced weaponry,
rumoured to be based on UFO technology, was located at Site-4 'a secret facility at
Papoose lake, Nevada. This information was not lost on Sid. Hungry for more firepower, the
Coyotes organised an ambush on the facility. The robbery went sour when the Vigilantes
unexpectedly appeared at the scene. As a result, the world's most advanced weaponry found
its way into the hands of both parties...
STANDARD WEAPONS:
| Mosquito Machine Gun: |
|
| The Mosquito is made in Tijuana, Mexico. It is equally popular
with both Coyotes & Vigilantes for it's cheap price & unlimited ammo. This weapon
is on every vehicle to start with. Even if you can't seem to find any good stuff on the
track, this gun is worth having. Calibre: 5.56mm Fire Rate: 720 rounds/min |
| Interceptor Missiles: |
|
| Homing missile developed at Site-4. This experimental weapon uses
a combination of optical & heat-seeking tracking systems. While quite agile, it's
tracking accuracy depends on target size. Interceptor Missiles: Speed: 100 mph Range: 1200 feet Halo Decoy: Up, Up, Down, R2. An inspiration to prove just how much thought and effort went into the making of this game, the decoy unites two missiles to produce a distracting flare. The hot cruiser attracts other seekers, so that you can get to safety under unfriendly fire. Afterburner: Up, Up, Up, R2. Fires 2 missiles without deploying them, briefly pushing the vehicle into a new velocity. It is very useful for jumping gaps and accessing the more inaccessible areas. Cost - 2 missiles |
| Bull's Eye Rockets: |
|
| This 'homemade' rocket is quite powerful, but has a limited range
& no tracking ability. Many people love this weapon because it packs a mighty wallop,
and requires a little skill as well. Lacking the seeking ability of some other
projectiles, the Bull's Eye goes fast in a straight line, so you need to aim. Road Runner: Up, Down, Down, R2. This Special requires two rockets. When executed, the two rockets attach themselves to a vehicle and sends it careering out of control. It is good for hasty getaways to escape those incoming mortars. Cost - 2 Rockets Stampede: Up, Down, Up, R2. This one costs you five rockets, and fires them all off in rapid succession. It comes in handy when you want to finish someone off. Speed: 120 mph Range: 650 feet |
| Sky Hammer Mortar: |
|
| This fire-&-forget weapon was extremely hush-hush, until Sid
broke into Site-4 & stole it. Adapted from a recovered UFO, the Sky Hammer fires an
explosive charge of semi-intelligent alien matter. The blob is initially fired up to 200
feet in the air, then proceeds to fall down under gravity, tracking it's target. While not
extremely agile, it is able to adjust the trajectory by altering it's organic shape in
flight. Range: 1000 feet Turtle Turnover: Down, Down, Down, R2. Got an angry beekeeper on your tail, unleashing his painfully mutated pets on you? Try one of these quaint devices. The Turnover is a non-violent way of putting your enemies on their heads. It bounces the baddies high into the air, stopping them from killing you for a while. Crater Maker: Down, Down, Up, R2. This Special move combines all of your remaining shells and lobs them in one big party bomb. When launched over a wide flat area, the crater created is really cool. Cost - 1 to 5 shells |
| Bruiser Cannon: |
|
| As the world's smallest artillery cannon, the Bruiser packs quite
a punch. Unfortunately, it's 360 degree auto-tracking turret is rather slow, thus not very
effective while on the move. Firing forward is the best way to go, as firing backward at
high speed results in a weak shot, whereas firing sideways can lead to an unnecessary
two-wheeled stunt. The recoil can be more impeding to the attacker than the shell is to
the victim. Calibre: 60 mm Range: 850 feet Cow Puncher: Down, Up, Down, R2. So you're sick of rolling yourself with the Bruiser? Roll others with this fine Special. It combines two ammunitions together, and puts your victim into a wild roll on impact. Buckshot: Down, Up, Up, R2. Set your foe on fire with the Buckshot. Combines one to six shells in an almighty discharge, which is more than likely to finish the weaker opponents on the field. Cost - 1 to 6 shells |
| Roadkill Mines: |
|
| The Roadkill is a surface mine, manufactured specifically for
mobile combat situations. Featuring 'smart trigger' technology, it can be dropped from
moving vehicles at high speed. The mine only detonates upon contact with vehicles. Bear Hug: Left, Right, Down, R2. The Bear Hug is so called because it outfits two mines with a magnetic pull. It lies dormant until a vehicle is detected nearby, and it then pulls them in and incapacitates them for around five seconds. Cost - 2 mines Cactus Patch: Left, Right, Up, R2. This Special is a scatter pack of six mines. It is laid as a single unit, but when an unsuspecting motorist should happen upon it, it disperses and disrupts. Don't backtrack after dropping one of these. |
PICK-UPS:
| Green Crate: |
|
| The green crates are harder to find than the brown and they always contain a Special Weapon. |
| Brown Crate: |
|
| These more commonplace crates contain regular weapons usually, but you might be lucky and find a Special. |
POWER-UPS:
| Shield: |
|
| The shield is exactly that. It protects you from being damaged for a limited time. |
| Radar Jammer: |
|
| This zigzag temporarily jams the enemy's radar's so they cannot find you, and their ammunition cannot track you either. |
| Weapon Upgrade: |
|
| The big X doubles the strength of your chosen weapon for a while. Make the most of it. |
| Repair Spanner: |
|
| The spanner replenishes some of your armour. They are hard to find & are usually placed in high or obscure areas. |
