The Ambulance is a heavy emergency van that combines a big cargo hold with a strong engine. It works well as a loot hauler, a towing vehicle and a tough ride through crowded streets.

The Ambulance is a Heavy-Duty vehicle built on the same body as the Franklin Valuline. It seats two people up front. Its engine is the strongest of any truck or van in its class, and it usually leaves the hospital in very good mechanical shape. It is loud, though, and louder than the plain Valuline.

The rear compartment holds a large load, so a single trip can clear out a pharmacy or a grocery store. The heavy body protects the people inside well in a crash. The siren on the roof is a tool of its own, able to call zombies toward the van on purpose.

The Ambulance suits a survivor who wants a strong, roomy work vehicle and can live with the noise. It is a fine choice for a pair who plan long supply runs. A larger group will need a second vehicle for the extra passengers.

Driving the Ambulance

For a large van, the Ambulance moves well. Its powerful engine gives it good acceleration for its size and weight. It reaches a steady highway speed and holds it with ease. That strength also makes it a good vehicle for towing another car or a trailer.

The brakes are solid for a heavy van, though a loaded Ambulance still needs room to stop. Its weight carries it through a lone zombie without much trouble.

On rough ground, the strong engine helps it keep moving where weaker vans stall. It handles grass and dirt roads better than most vehicles of its size.

The engine is loud. Every trip through town draws attention, and a quiet approach is hard. A performance muffler helps a little.

The body is sturdy at both ends. The people inside get strong protection in a crash, among the best of any vehicle. That makes the Ambulance a forgiving choice when a road is blocked by the dead.

Ambulance Storage

The rear compartment is one of the largest cargo spaces of any vehicle. It matches the plain Franklin Valuline and the Dash Bulldriver, and only the Chevalier Step Van holds more. The glove box is larger than in a family car, with room for a few extra small items.

With two seats up front, most of the space goes to cargo. The Ambulance works well as a mobile supply store or a base on wheels. It can move a stock of food, water and building materials in one trip.

Ambulance Parts

The Ambulance takes Heavy-Duty parts. Its tires, brakes, suspension, gas tank, muffler, doors and windows all come from the heavy-duty class shared by vans and pickup trucks. Wrecked vans and trucks are the best donors.

Repairing the engine needs a higher Mechanics level than a family car. A survivor should train Mechanics before relying on the Ambulance for long trips.

Tires and brakes wear first on a heavy van. The weight of a full load adds to the strain. Old, regular and performance grades exist for tires, brakes and mufflers. The gas tank comes in small, regular and big sizes.

The radio slot takes a ham radio rather than a car radio, the same kind the LBMW Radio Van uses.

Ambulance Versions

The Ambulance comes in one working version. It carries a lightbar with a siren on the roof. The siren is loud enough to draw zombies from a distance, so it can lure a crowd away from a building or a road.

A burnt Ambulance shell also appears, usually in roadside crash scenes. It is a supply of salvage rather than transport.

Zombies dressed as ambulance drivers often wander near a parked Ambulance.

Every version of the Ambulance with its own spawn command. Burnt and wrecked shells cannot be driven but still hold parts.

Ambulance Locations

Hospitals are by far the best place to find an Ambulance. They park outside emergency entrances and in hospital lots. Burnt shells and crash scenes on the roadside also hold them now and then, often in poor condition.
