Just Cause 2 gets free rocket-launching Tuk Tuk DLC

Ah, the Tuk Tuk. Almost universally recognized as the most useless vehicle of all time in regards to its implementation in video games. (You ever try to rack up a huge crash score while driving a Tuk Tuk in Burnout 3? It is impossible.) Avalanche, however, recently gave the poor, pod-shaped vehicle a facelift with a new piece of free DLC for Just Cause 2: Introducing the "Tuk Tuk Boom Boom" (pictured right), available today through Xbox Live, PSN and Steam.

You'll notice that Avalanche has peeled the roof off of this particular model of the vehicle, leaving just enough room for a massive, powerful cannon. It's also faster and handles better than the rollover-friendly standard version, meaning the Tuk Tuk Boom Boom might just become your new mode of transportation of choice when it's time to raid that enemy base -- or, you know, that impoverished civilian village.

Avalanche are awesome.

Amazing the little thing doesn't flip from the recoil.

@Ratfoot

Exactly. My first thought upon seeing the picture was the thing flying through the air upon firing.

You want to talk about hatred towards the Tuk Tuk? Play Stuntman

"Chase the Tuk Tuk!"

"Hit Boxes!"

"Too slow!"

@(Unverified) haha, that mission was great even though at the time I played it hated it so much

It's now queued up to download! I don't even own this game, yet. When I see it on sale someday I'll get it. I played the demo and it was great

All other vehicles suck compared to this

This is like giving a baby a machine gun. Sure its got the ability to do damage, but will ultimately fail in the execution...

@Cakes94

That may be true... but seriously, who hasn't wanted to give a machine gun to a baby to see what would happen?

Intimidating.

*cough*

sweet!

this is one of those games you could play forever.

@Hawaii Jeff

ha ha, i have like 40 hours in this game, and maybe 2 of the story missions done. It's just really fun to just explore and destroy shit, try some stunts, find interesting ways to die or kill people. This what a sandbox game should be like.
