Darkside is a unlockable vehicle from Twisted Metal (2012).
Design[]
It is once again a black semi truck. This time around, Darkside is based on a Peterbilt 379. It is covered in armor, has steel beams on its front grill, and bull horns on its nose.
Special Weapons[]
- Darkside Slam (78 Points or 85 against Reaper), Drop Mines (15 Points Per Mine): The vehicle's special weapon is very similar to the one in Twisted Metal: Black, in that Darkside will accelerate and ram into vehicles. Additionally, Darkside can rear-fire the special to deploy Drop Mines from behind the truck.
- A new feature found in Darkside's Primary special is labeled as "Double Turbo Slam." If you have a SIXAXIS compatible controller, you are capable of performing this. While charging at an opponent, flick the controller and then activate the Special. (Do not do both at the same time. You must activate the extra turbo boost before the special, otherwise it will not work.) This deals in between 10-30 more damage (Ranging the attack from 45 Points Damage to 78 Points Damage).
- 50. Cal Tri-Gun (60 Points): The secondary special raises a tri-mini gun that can rotate in a 360 degree circle.
