Loki is a fictional character in the vehicle action series Vigilante 8.

Overview

It would be safe to assume that Loki is a bit deranged. Before he became Sid Burn's lackey, he was the top pilot at a secret Site-4 base in Nevada. He tested out strange aircrafts (captured alien UFOs), but crashed one purely by accident. They released him shortly after and since then it had been his goal to sneak in to pilot one again. How he met Sid is unknown, but Sid probably hired him on with the promise that he could get Loki in the air again (considering the raid on a secret base in the opening movie of Vigilante 8, he probably would've kept his word). Because of his increasing insanity, Loki became more and more obsessed with flying, to the point where he started talking like a fighter pilot even though he was in a car. As revealed in his quest, Loki took a keen liking to Dave's activities, because through him, Loki could pilot the alien craft again.

Ending

Loki invading Y the Alien's spaceship in his ending in Vigilante 8.

In his V8 ending, Loki manages to find an alien craft and takes off with it. He crashes yet again and is labeled an alien by the media.

Due to Loki being DLC, he does not have a Quest in Vigilante 8: Arcade.

Special Weapon

In V8, Loki's Special Weapon was the Scatter Missiles, which were large missiles mounted on the back of his car that seek out nearby enemies and rained down on them, causing good damage. It is similar to Team FAST's Blazin' Glory special.

In V8: Arcade, Loki's Special Weapon is the Turret, which is almost nothing like his original Special Weapon, and has more in common with the Bruiser Cannon.
