Lifeguard quad

A lifeguard quad in red and black with OCEAN RESCUE across the flank, a hard case on the rear rack and a light bar on the front: a service vehicle rather than a toy.

The quad is photographed from the left and slightly behind, standing on sand. It is red over black, with OCEAN in white capitals on the flank and the tail of RESCUE wrapping onto the panel ahead of it. A small dark emblem sits in front of the lettering and a red badge further forward.

The equipment is what marks it out as a working machine. A black hard case is strapped to the rear cargo rack. A light bar with clear lenses is mounted across the front rack, with an amber marker beside it. A black tubular guard wraps the nose, and the front rack carries a mesh panel. It rides on knobbly ATV tyres over black wheels.

Behind it stands the timber frame of a lifeguard tower in yellow, with people on the beach around it: one in a green striped shirt close to the camera, another further back.

What we still do not know

• The name, and the manufacturer
• Whether Ocean Rescue is a nameable in-game service with its own buildings
• Whether the rescue kit is fixed or a variant of a plain quad
• Everything measured: top speed, handling, where it spawns
