The LU-P LYNX is a versatile combat vehicle used by the British Army. It served in various roles during the Chimeran War. It is an all-terrain light-utility vehicle mostly used for long patrols. While unarmored, the Lynx is extremely crash-worthy due to its reinforced chassis. It has four-wheel drive and a deceptively wide track which keeps it from tipping over in tight turns. The Lynx is outfitted with a 360 degree shock-dampened turret equipped with an L-650 12.7mm general purpose machine gun. There is room for a driver, a passenger, and a soldier to operate the mounted machine gun. It is found to be very useful in hit-and-run attacks.
Resistance: Fall of Man[]
The player has two opportunities to drive the LYNX; in Somerset to reach the place where the Chimera that attacked Northern Command are coming from, and Thames where the player destroys a Stalker with the LYNX. The player also gets the opportunity to man the turret in Thames.

Trivia[]
- Insomniac tried to make the details of Fall of Man to look "British" but, on the LYNX, the steering wheel is on the left hand side, which is usually commonly designed in the United States and mainland Europe. British cars have their steering wheel on the right hand side.
- The LYNX resembles the U.S.-made M422 Mighty Mite, which was a utility vehicle initially created as a failed replacement for the jeep in 1946 that went onto briefly serve a light cargo truck role in the 1960's before becoming obsolete due to advancements in cargo helicopters.
- The LYNX Machine Gun has a friendly warning to "Aim away from face".
- Despite being depicted with a second machine gun intended for use by a passenger in cutscenes and renders, outside of them this machine gun is absent, and upon switching to the passenger seat the player will be using their own weapons.
