Bavarian Sea Heist Challenge Location: Where To Find It?

The Bavarian Sea Heist is the third and final downloadable content pack in the Air, Land & Sea Expansion for Just Cause 3. The challenge location in this DLC is the Stingray Area, a set of several enormous off-shore rigs in the West Medici coastal waters of Scolio, where the player must infiltrate the Stingray base to steal the Eden Spark lightning gun.

The Stingray base

To infiltrate the Stingray base, you must first defeat the Black Hand Fleet with the rocket boat's multi-lock missile launchers and miniguns. Once inside the base, you can steal the "Eden Spark" lightning gun and use it to take down your enemies in new storyline missions. The "Boat Invader" challenge within the base will allow you to power up the "Eden Spark" lightning gun even further with mods.

The Loochador rocket boat

The Loochador, also known as the "Rocket Boat", is a downloadable vehicle in the game Just Cause 3. It is part of the Bavarium Sea Heist DLC, which is available as part of the Air, Land & Sea Expansion Pass. The Loochador is an armoured, jet-powered boat that players can use to traverse the dangerous waters of West Medici. It is equipped with an array of weapons, including missiles and miniguns, making it a formidable tool for taking on the Black Hand Fleet.

The development history of the Loochador is quite interesting. In its stock form, the boat was originally unarmed and unnamed, with a design consisting mostly of angled flat panels that suggested it might have been intended for stealth. However, during the mission "The Setup", Tom Sheldon provides weapons, and Looch upgrades and weaponizes the boat. Looch adds missile launchers, miniguns, a revolving radar antenna, handrails, and a lifebuoy. Despite the addition of these external weapons and modifications, the sailing performance of the Loochador remains unchanged.

The boat's name, "Loochador", is a combination of the name "Looch" and a reference to Mexican wrestlers. It is one of the few uniquely named vehicles in the game, and the only one whose nickname is the same as its model name. The Loochador is the successor to the Bald Eagle Persuader from Just Cause and the MTA Powerrun 77 from Just Cause 2.

The Loochador is not only well-armed but also highly manoeuvrable. It is capable of turning almost instantly, although such sharp turns can momentarily stop the boat. Additionally, the boat can be steered in the air when turbo jumping, thanks to its jet engine. The Loochador is also the fastest boat in the game, reaching speeds of up to 140 knots on the longest lake and with the aid of nitrous Gear Mods.

Overall, the Loochador rocket boat is a powerful and agile addition to the player's arsenal in Just Cause 3, offering a unique and exciting experience as they navigate the challenges of the Bavarium Sea Heist.

Eden Spark lightning gun

The Eden Spark lightning gun is a weapon in the video game Just Cause 3, provided in the Bavarium Sea Heist DLC. The weapon is obtained by infiltrating the Stingray base, a mysterious research facility that was once used by the eDEN Corporation to research weather and electricity. The player character, Rico, must steal the Eden Spark from the base, which is now controlled by the Black Hand, who are using it for their "Global change project".

The Eden Spark is a "crazy science weapon" that harnesses lightning from the sky to destroy targets. It is held with two hands, similarly to an assault rifle, and has a combination of blue, white, and black colouring. The weapon has an antenna/barrel that resembles the DroneDefender, a real-life anti-drone beam weapon. The Eden Spark functions by shooting a laser beam at a target, which then calls down a bolt of lightning. This lightning strike is powerful enough to destroy most targets in seconds. The weapon has infinite ammunition as it automatically self-charges.

Upgrades for the Eden Spark can be unlocked by playing "Sea Battle: Boat Invaders", found at the bottom of the Stingray Area on the map. These upgrades include mods that increase the power of the lightning, making it an even brighter electric blue.

The Eden Spark is a devastating weapon that can be used to easily defeat enemies and destroy objects in the game. However, it does have some disadvantages. For example, it cannot be used on targets that are under indestructible cover or indoors/underground. Additionally, it can be difficult to use the Eden Spark to destroy aircraft that are moving erratically.

Scolio, West Medici

The player, Rico, must liberate Scolio from the Black Hand, by infiltrating (or destroying) the Stingray base to retrieve the "Eden Spark" lightning gun. This weapon is described as the rarest and strongest ever created by the Eden Corporation.

To achieve this, Rico has access to the "Loochador", a rocket boat with multi-lock missile launchers and miniguns. This boat can be modified and upgraded with mods earned in the "Boat Invader" challenge.

Black Hand Fleet

The Black Hand Fleet is featured in the video game Just Cause 3, in the Bavarium Sea Heist downloadable content (DLC) pack. The Black Hand Fleet is controlled by the Black Hand, who are using it for their "Global change project". The player, as Rico, must stop them.

The Black Hand Fleet is formidable, and the player must use the rocket boat "Loochador" to defeat it. The Loochador is equipped with multi-lock missile launchers and miniguns, which will be crucial in taking on the Black Hand Fleet.

The Black Hand Fleet is likely named after the real-world Black Sea Fleet, which was the fleet of the Russian Navy in the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, and the Mediterranean Sea. The Black Sea Fleet was founded in 1783 as part of the Imperial Russian Navy and has played a significant role in various conflicts throughout history, including the Russo-Turkish Wars, the French Revolutionary Wars, and World War II.
