The Landrock Motors Bertha is a special vehicle in Watch Dogs 2.
Design[]
The Bertha is a heavily modified school bus. The cowl that would normally cover the engine has been replaced with the face of an Oriental dragon. The sides and back of the vehicle below the windows are covered in speakers that have been strapped to the sides of the bus. The side windows have been replaced with bars attached to large flame-shaped metal plates covered in ornate designs, and the back windows have been replaced with metal grates. The door has been removed. The chassis has been elevated to accommodate much larger tires. The bus also features an attached bucket from a loader tractor.
Performance[]
Bertha is surprisingly fast for such a large vehicle, easily reaching speeds rivaling many muscle cars, though it lacks a good turning radius, it can handle surprisingly well on the road.
Destructive Capabilities[]
Thanks to its massive size and bulldozer attachment, it is capable of smashing through any vehicle in the game, including buses, cable cars, and trams, though it will grind to a near-complete halt if one hits the latter. The slightest touch on any vehicle will activate the loader tractor attachment, sending the vehicle flying into the air. The speed at which the player hits a car does not seem to impact the strength of the loader tractor attachment. The vehicle also has flamethrowers and spikes mounted to the sides, which can be activated by using the horn button. Despite the fact that they can total the vast majority of vehicles, including large SUVs and buses in one hit, they make very poor offensive weapons against all but the weakest enemies or Pedestrians. One "blast" costs one Botnet resource.
Durability[]
Despite its large size and apparent modifications, the Bertha is not a very durable vehicle. Unlike the MRAP, the Bertha can be disabled with a single DedSec IED, and is vulnerable to Steam Pipe eruptions. The bus can be destroyed with sustained gunfire, particularly from high-damage weapons like the U100, and will be destroyed with a single shot from a YourBoySerge with fully researched marksmanship skills. Furthermore, thanks to its nature as a school bus, the player exits via the passenger doors on the right side of the cab, a process that takes several seconds. In combat situations, this leaves the driver vulnerable to the gunfire of enemy players, as they are unable to cancel the animation or fight back in any way.
Locations[]
The Bertha is available in the Car On Demand app in the Heavy category after installing the T-Bone Content Bundle.
Trivia[]
- If seven vehicles are destroyed with the Bertha, the player will automatically gain heat.
- Despite being a school bus, Bertha can only seat one player. Others can ride on the roof, but they may fall off.
- Unlike other Premium and Unique vehicles in the Car on Demand app, the Bertha's icon is blank and does not feature the default yellow paint job. It is possible that the vehicle could have been painted in the beta, but this was changed prior to release.
