ARDA Investigator Mk II

From Pacific Drive Wiki

Player Logbook Entry

Following the catastrophic failures that came from the original Investigators, a team of disgruntled scientists and engineers banded together to create a better version of a mobile laboratory that still fit the budget.
To accomplish this, they took an old station wagon and a camper trailer, and fitted them with materials and equipment scavenged from broken-down Investigators.
Aside from well-known issues of having a caravan, the Investigator MkII showed some promise. Unfortunately, the Zone was evacuated before it could be approved by the board. And sometime between then and now, the trailer with the laboratory and sleeping quarters seems to have disappeared, leaving only a box truck shaped like a station wagon.

Strategy

Basically combining the "Super Squire" and "Pack Mule" builds, this gives the idea of being the next best loot goblin build, with th addition of the Resource Radar to make finding the best loot spots that little bit easier.
And if the lack of an extra backseat tank means you're running low on gas, don't worry. With a large battery hooked up to the Radar, you can sniff out fuel tankers or stray fuel barrels in a pinch.

You can also edit it to have full Armored parts, if you need extra reinforcement. Or even replace the back parts (Rear doors, rear panels, and trunk) with Lead-Plated ones, if you find radiation's getting you down.


(The only thing that would make this better is if the "Dark Grey" color that you can find on the Squires is a paint you can have. Sure, some may say yellow looks better, but I feel like the dark grey look just feels more fitting, in a way.)
