The Bravado Buffalo STX is a 4-door muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Contract update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Buffalo STX is primarily based on the 2015-present Dodge Charger (LD). The majority of its design remains faithful to the Charger, with the front and rear bumper designs taking inspiration from the SRT models; likewise, the wheels are based on those found on the 2020 SRT Hellcat Widebody. The differences between the Buffalo STX and Charger are the altered bodywork towards the C-pillar and the exclusion of quarter windows in the rear doors, as well as the LED strips on the headlights being positioned outward instead of being inward as its real-life counterpart, which makes them somewhat look like the Audi Q3. The tail light shape is that of the 2013-2017 SRT/Dodge Viper (VX I). The hood might have been inspired by the 2015–2020 Shelby GT350 (S550), while the side vents and side skirts bear a resemblance to the ones found on the BMW M3 (F80) and BMW M4 (F82/F83).
The vehicle is depicted as the newer iteration of the Buffalo and the Buffalo S, retaining the general body shape and features. The front fascia of the car features a large central intake that spans about two thirds of the car's width and features a black/plastic frame on the upper portion, followed by smaller intakes intended to cool off the front brakes. On the upper area, there is a narrow grille that bears the Bravado emblem and two black intakes, while the headlights consist of circular units and modern LED-like strips. The hood has an elevated shape around the center and bears a small intake.
On the sides, the car has distinctive lines at the bottom and angled side skirts, while the front fenders have small exit vents with a single black separation. Additional body lines are seen around the front exit vents and lead towards the rear end, almost parallel to the waist lines, while the doors have painted handles. The greenhouse area makes use of black trims around the windows, with additional lines separating the roof panel from the rest of the car.
On the rear end, the car has a small trunk lid with a lip spoiler on top, along with a black panel that spans the entire car's width and passing through the trunk lid. This black panel house the Bravado badging on the center and the tail lights on the outer edges, the latter consisting of outer red units split between the outer brake lights and inner main light, as well as inner units split between the outer indicators and the inner reverse lights. The bumper is relatively bulky and has narrow exit vents on the edges and a rectangular section on the center holding the license plate, while the bottom area features a black/plastic section with a central vent, four diffuser blades and mouldings for the exhaust pipes.
Its interior is a four-door derivative of the one from vehicles such as the Specter, the Dominator GTX and the Gauntlet Hellfire, with the Bravado emblem on the horn cap.
The primary color of the car is applied on the bodywork, while the secondary color is applied on the overstitches of the interior. A trim color is also available for the dashboard, part of the door panels and the inner portions of the seats. The car uses a set of 5-spoke dual rims, fitted with low-profile tires.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Vehicle[]
The overall performance of the Buffalo STX is on the top pace for the Muscle class, even rivalling some vehicles in the Sports class. It has a high top speed and excellent acceleration that on par with the Gauntlet Hellfire, with braking power that is slightly better than the Hellfire. It also has stable handling like the Dominator GTX, causing it to not lose traction upon hard cornering at high speeds and even spin out like other muscle cars.
The vehicle is powered by a single-cam V8 engine that is fitted with a supercharger, coupled to an 8-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive layout. Its engine sound is mainly derived from the Buffalo S and the Sprunk Buffalo, but adds a supercharger whine sound from vehicles such as the Tampa and its Weaponized variant.
Features[]
The Buffalo STX, along with selected vehicles from the same update, can be modified with a Remote Control Unit, which allows to drive the vehicle remotely, similar to the RC Bandito and the Invade and Persuade Tank. Note that the camera is always set to first-person view, and cannot be kept if the Missile Lock-on Jammer is installed.
Armor/Defense[]
With 100% Armor upgrade and a player inside, the Buffalo STX can withstand two homing missiles or Explosive rounds from the Heavy Sniper Mk II (blowing up on the next round), but it will be destroyed by a single RPG. It also has bullet-resistant windows, which are able to withstand 15 rounds from most firearms before being shattered. Installing Louvers does not provide protection against firearms.
When the Armor Plating upgrade is equipped, the vehicle adds armor paddings on the sides in a similar manner to the armored vehicles featured in the Executives and Other Criminals update. However, it gives a much higher resistance to explosives in general, resisting 3 RPGs, 11 homing missiles, or 9 Heavy Sniper MK II explosive rounds (The amount of explosives is halved if not occupied or remote controlled by a player).
The Buffalo STX, along with selected vehicles from the same update, can be modified with a Missile Lock-on Jammer, which prevents the lock-on system of the Homing Launcher and other weaponized vehicles to target onto it. Note that it cannot be kept if the Remote Control Unit is installed.
Weapons[]
- Machine Gun: The vehicle can be equipped with two front-facing machine guns operated by the driver, which perform the same as those of vehicles such as the Blazer Aqua and the Ruiner 2000. They have decent firepower against players and vehicles with none or light armor, but will struggle against heavily-armored vehicles.
- The vehicle has the option to install Slick Proximity Mines (green flashing light), which bursts a large amount of oil on the surface, causing vehicles passing over it to lose control. This deals no damage to both vehicles or players.

Notable owners[]
- Franklin Clinton owns a Frost White Buffalo STX with an "FC1988" license plate, mimicking his Ice White Buffalo S from Grand Theft Auto V. It can occasionally be seen parked in the GTA Online Protagonist's Agency Garage.
Locations[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Available for purchase from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $2,150,000 or $1,612,500 after purchasing an Agency.
Radio Stations[]
- In Grand Theft Auto Online, the default radio stations are grouped by genre. The Buffalo STX uses the "Rap" group which can play:
- West Coast Classics
- Radio Los Santos
- The Lab
- Blonded Los Santos 97.8 FM (Enhanced Editions only. May not play due to a three station limit within the group)
- IFruit Radio (Enhanced Editions only. May not play due to a three station limit within the group)
Trivia[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- The "STX" designation is likely a reference to the name of the base Dodge Charger, SXT. Or, refering to the Hellcat name, the "STX" designation can be read as a reference to the River Styx, which separates the world of the living from the world of the dead in Greek mythology.
- The "Muscle Car Hood" option appears to be taken from the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon.
- The "Sprunk Racing" livery is derived from the Sprunk Buffalo, with the racing number "68" retained from said vehicle.
Bugs/Glitches[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- When damaged enough, the front grille, engine belts, headlights, and holes for the optional machine guns float off of the vehicle and remain in that position rather than deforming with the rest of the front.
- If either of the louvers are installed, they will be removed once the player enters a different session.
- The rear plate light is offset to the passenger side instead of being centered with the actual license plate.
