The Driller

The Driller is a vehicle in the original Red Faction.

Description

Despite it being utilized for a whole of about 30 seconds in the actual game, the Driller is a fairly fun and relatively innovative concept for a vehicle, and it's really unfortunate that it comes and goes so quickly. A heavily armored beast to be sure, the Driller runs at a snail like pace and ain't exaclty the most nimble thing under the sun. For its geo-modding feature you just ram straight into a wall and engage the drill bits to start making your way through solid rock. If you ever get caught in a wall or just want to know what's around you, you can cycles between four viewpoints (forward, reverse, left, right) to give yourself a good idea of where you're at.

-==Biography==
-Soon the day will come when I can tell of my discoveries. For they are indeed mine, no matter that Ultor supplied the equipment and subjects. Without me, Ultor would still be stumbling in the unenlightened darkness. Where all others have failed, I will succeed.
-On Earth, my studies were quickly halted by shortsighted fools. But Ultor had the wisdom to appreciate the ultimate purpose of my inquiries. Here on Mars, my work has the freedom and support it needs to flourish. Though some must suffer, their sacrifices will not be in vain, for my discoveries will benefit all mankind. The end truly does justify the means.
-There has been opposition even within Ultor's organization here. When I first arrived, the Administrator refused to sanction the experiments necessary for my research. He soon became a subject of those experiments, involuntarily contributing a wealth of useful data. His replacement, the former Deputy Administrator, was much more accommodating. The new Deputy Administrator, Richard Gryphon, was a source of concern when he reached Mars, somewhat over a year ago. After a meeting with me, however, he quickly became one of my most ardent supporters, eliminating the need to have him join the experiments.
