The Caracara appears as a 6x6 truck heavily inspired by the {{WP|Ford F-150}}, more specifically, the {{URL|http://hennesseyperformance.com/vehicles/ford/f-150-raptor/2017-ford-f-150-raptor/velociraptor-6x6/|Hennessey VelociRaptor 6X6}}, a 6x6 alternative. The tail lights are a stretched version of the [[Riata]]'s, which in turn are very similar to those of the {{WP|Nissan Titan#Second generation (2016–Present)|2016–present Nissan Titan}}.

*The Caracara comes equipped with a {{WP|DShK|DShK 12.7mm}} [[Vehicle Features/Mounted Weapons|machine gun]], which has devastating power against pedestrians and unarmored vehicles, making it a good choice for an escort vehicle.

*The second option is a mounted GAU-17/A 7.62mm [[Minigun]], which behaves like many mounted miniguns found on other vehicles, such as the [[Valkyrie]]. Although not very powerful, the high fire rate makes it great against unarmored targets and cars, causing regular vehicles to explode in just a couple of seconds, while the stock gun can take more than double that time.

*'''Machine Gun''': The Caracara comes equipped with the standard {{WP|DShK}} .50 caliber [[Vehicle Features/Mounted Weapons|machine gun turret]], which has devastating power against pedestrians and unarmored vehicles.

It should be noted that because of the vehicle's poor durability, the player should avoid using the gun to explode targets close to the vehicle, as a single explosion will instantly destroy the vehicle.

“
Your mom lied: size matters. And while we're at it, no one cares what you're like on the inside, money and power are the most important things in life, and naked, sociopathic aggression is demonstrably the best way to get ahead in everything you do. Now you've taken all that on board, your choice of vehicle has already been made. Welcome to the Caracara: time to hop in and spread the word.

Please note: This vehicle can be modified at a Vehicle Workshop inside an Avenger or Mobile Operation Center.
”
— Warstock Cache & Carry description.

The Vapid Caracara is a 6x6 weaponized off-road pickup featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update, released on April 3rd, 2018, during the Target Assault Week event.[1]

Design

Grand Theft Auto Online

The Caracara appears as a 6x6 truck heavily inspired by the Ford F-150, more specifically, the Hennessey VelociRaptor 6X6, a 6x6 alternative. The tail lights are a stretched version of the Riata's, which in turn are very similar to those of the 2016–present Nissan Titan. Its bonnet is inspired from the Ram Pickup models.

The interior of the truck is shared with most SUVs, sporting the Cavalcade interior and dials also used on the Dubsta 6x6.

The vehicle's primary color affects most of the bodywork, while the secondary color is applied to the grille elements and the vehicle's springs.

Performance

Grand Theft Auto Online

Vehicle

Overall, the vehicle handles, as expected from an off-road truck, best off-road, although it is very prone to being flung with the tiniest of bumps and collisions, and has a tendency to flip onto its slide, more so than the Dubsta 6x6. Its road performance is not overwhelming and certainly doesn't keep up with other turreted vehicles.

Durability wise, the truck is as weak as the Dubsta 6x6, as it is more of an improvised fighting vehicle. It blows up in a single explosion and has no bullet-ressistant windows.

The truck is powered by what appears to be an inline-4 engine sporting 4 throttle bodies. Positioned in a front engine, all wheel drive configuration, this is coupled up to a 5-speed gearbox powering all 6 wheels. The engine sound is shared with several SUVs in the game, including the Dubsta and the Dubsta 6x6.

The Caracara's statistical stock top speed is 93 mph / 149.7 km/h.Template:GTARef

  • EMS Engine Upgrade 1 produces 94 mph / 151.3 km/h.
  • EMS Engine Upgrade 2 produces 95 mph / 152.9 km/h.
  • EMS Engine Upgrade 3 produces 96 mph / 154.5 km/h.
  • EMS Engine Upgrade 4 produces 97 mph / 156.1 km/h.


The Caracara has all four advanced flags enabled[2]:

  • The first causes up-shifting to occur much sooner, and at lower engine revolutions, effectively shortening shift rates.
  • The second causes the vehicle's engine to heavily over-rev and remain at the engine red-line for a much longer period of time before shifting, causing revolutions to fluctuate.
  • The third increases the vehicle's suspension "springiness", causing it to bounce excessively while driving.
Weaponry

The Caracara has a rear turret for use by an independent gunner, having an excellent rotation angle of 360 degrees and elevation angle of between -15 and 45 degrees, providing impeccable defense against helicopters and pursuing cars. However, as a compromise for its power, the gunner is almost completely exposed and may fall off the vehicle in case of a crash, or become vulnerable to gunshots, which can kill the gunner. Players are able to access the mounted machine gun by holding the enter button.

  • Machine Gun: The Caracara comes equipped with the standard DShK .50 caliber machine gun turret, which has devastating power against pedestrians and unarmored vehicles. The vehicle is able to kill most NPCs and players in one to two hits and take down most helicopters or vehicles in less than twenty.
  • Minigun: The vehicle can be upgraded with a mounted 7.62mm Minigun, which behaves like many mounted miniguns found on other vehicles. Although not very powerful, the high fire rate makes it great against unarmored targets and cars.

It should be noted that because of the vehicle's poor durability, the player should avoid using the gun to explode targets close to the vehicle, as a single explosion will reduce the health to a critical level, if not instantly destroying the vehicle.

Prominent Appearances in Missions

Grand Theft Auto Online

  • Appears in the "One Armed Bandits" Casino Work, where several are used by the enemy gang to patrol the docks.
  • A couple may also appear in Casino - Strong Arm Tactics, driven by Duggan's goons. They can be stolen and used for the final vehicle escort portion of the mission if there are enough players, as the mounted machinegun provides the team with considerable extra firepower.

Trivia

General

Grand Theft Auto Online

  • Although the Caracara can be owned as a personal vehicle, it cannot be used in Target Assault Races, despite having the option to enable custom vehicles.
  • Despite being weaponized, it can still be used in off-road races with custom vehicles.
  • The personal vehicle icon is different to the actual icon that seen on the map for other players, instead using the ‘dangerous vehicle’ icon present on the Insurgent and Technical.[3]

Bugs/Glitches

Grand Theft Auto Online

  • The Caracara does not have the drive-in cutscene when taken to Los Santos Customs in GTA Online.[4][5]
    • If the player use hacks to spawn the vehicle in story mode, it becomes apparent that the vehicle has no difficulty entering Los Santos Customs.[6]
