- Sting Like a Bee: Besides an increase to speed the FAV also received an upgrade to weaponry mounting a total of four more machine guns and a anti-materiel rifle or recoilless rifle
- Glass Cannon: One drawback to the weight cutting modifications made is that most of the things cut from the vehicle was armor plating

With the development of the Light Patrol Vehicle there were inquiries from the elite unit within the GFL for a custom version of it that was faster, more maneuverable and more heavily armed than the LPV in its current form. Noah took on this challenge and him, along with a few members of said unit, got to work on modifying a pair of LPV's to suit their need.
The first thing they worked on was making the vehicle faster and to do this they implemented a number of changes. The first thing was removing as much armor plating as possible without completely skeletonizing the vehicle. To do this they replaced the normal doors with doors that were half as thick and windowless, removed the armor on the back of the cab and removed the armored turret. While this made the vehicle more maneuverable they still hadn't achieved the speed they wanted and weren't willing to sacrifice any more armor. To get this further increase in speed they wanted they decided on replacing the original 6.0 liter V8 engine with a much more powerful 7.4 liter twin-turbo charged V8 engine and with this they achieved their desired speed.
With these modifications done they began to work on improving the firepower of the vehicle. While they retained the main turret mounted modular armament they also added swiveling pintle mounts for four AMG-01's on each door besides the drivers and in the bed as well another pintle mount for a AMR-01 or VML-01 in the bed.
With these main modifications done they began to move on to adding in some more minor features to improve it further. They added in was an extra fuel tank to give the vehicle a longer range, an extra weapon rack to accommodate the extra crewman and lastly the added reinforced bumpers to make them more durable in case of ramming.
