Just like the Highwayman in Fallout 2,
all these vehicles ran on SECs or MFCs, both of which were
a limited commodity. Considering the power generated by one SEC or MFC
in a few of the Fallout weapons, it's conceivable that a vehicle
powered by either source could go many a mile on one charge.
Dune Buggy
This ramshackle welded steel frame holds a 133hp small energy
cell engine. Its makeshift seats and "holding bars" allow it to carry
a total of six passengers. It was manufactured sometime after the war
and was apparently abandoned in the desert after a tribal attack. It
has no room for baggage.
The dune buggy is only medium speed, but it is not slowed down by rough
terrain like the other vehicles. It can be upgraded with bigger tires,
allowing you to cross areas that the other vehicles can't. Holds 4 people.
Cop car
Detroit Motor Cars Ibex Police Interceptor"It's got a cop motor,
a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks.
It's a model made after the Anchorage Reclamation so it'll run good on
small energy cells."
Fast. Upgraded with a blower, it is the fastest vehicle in
the game. Carries 6 people. It was found in Denver.
Motorcycle w/sidecar
The Boudicca-78/S was a reliable modern motorcycle used by the
British Royal Armored Corps, Arabia. The U.S. National Guard used
several such motorcycles during the time of quarantine right before
the war. The bike's 78hp engine runs off of small energy cells and
has a small amount of storage space on the back of the sidecar. The
motorcycle is dusty black with paint fading and chipped everywhere.
The motorcycle will take three passengers, total. If the PC has more
members in his or her party, characters must be ejected before the
bike can be used.
The motorcycle can travel on the following terrain types: Road,
Desert, Forest, Hills.
It is fast, fuel efficient and can be upgraded with a machine gun on
the sidecar, resulting in less random encounters.
Semi
Slow, burns through energy cells quickly. An old camper could be
hooked up to it, resulting in a mobile science/mechanic lab for the PC,
as well as near-infinite storage capacity. Carries 6 people.
The semi can carry all the other vehicles (well, except the train), but
can only go on two types of terrain.
Train
It could, of course, only follow intact tracks. The tracks connected
Fort Abandon (which was located at the center of the map) with
Denver and the Boulder, the Hoover Dam, and Jericho.
