The LM-330 Olen is a military van in Just Cause: Volosia.
Visual appearance[]
The LM-330 Olen is based on the real-world Soviet UAZ-452 military van. While a flatbed version exists in real life, there is only one variant of the Olen in Just Cause: Volosia: the van variant. It is, however, available as a civilian version or a faction version.
Description[]
The Olen was a small workhorse of the Volosian military serving as a fine little transport vehicle for when a large cargo truck is overkill. In addition it also served the Volosian Republic's military well as a small patrol van with stronger armor and a larger passenger capacity than its younger brother the LM-370 Okhotnik. It was often seen alongside the Okhotnik before the days of the Third Volosian Civil War as a military police vehicle, complete with a lightbar, patrolling the streets of Volosia.
After the breakout of the Third Volosian Civil War, the Volosian Republic collapsed and along came the three factions who seized large numbers of these vehicles. While the United Volosian Republic has better alternatives, this vehicle is used mostly by the Volosian People's Republic and Republican Army of Volosia. In the player's hands, the vehicle strikes a fair balance between speed and ramming capability.
