The Declasse Weaponized Tampa is a custom two-door muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Gunrunning update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The car appears as an armed variant of the Tampa, featuring a roof-mounted Minigun as standard. The concept can be said to take inspiration from the Roadkill, a weaponized muscle car featured in the Twisted Metal series. Roadkill was a nod to the protagonist vehicle from the 1997 vehicular combat game Interstate 76, which featured a nearly identical weaponized muscle car complete with a roof-mounted machine gun for the player to use during the main quest.
The vehicle itself features visual changes over the regular model; its stock colors are primarily worn to suit the vehicle's nature, and the car lacks an option for a secondary color. The stripe down the side of the original Tampa has been removed, and chrome fittings, such as the mirrors, door handles and window pillars and trims, are replaced with black counterparts. The Tampa's vinyl roof is also replaced with a solid roof. The 310GT badge on the side of the car remains, although it is slightly faded. The vehicle can be fitted with several unique modifications not present on the regular model, being external protective frames, armor plates, and camo liveries.
The primary color of the vehicle is applied to the entirety of the vehicle and the interior stitching, while the secondary color is applied to the miniguns, missile launchers, and the mortar's muzzle and ammo compartment (if these are present). The stock wheels are the same ones from the regular Tampa, being variations of the "Revolver" muscle rims available in Los Santos Customs, fitted with medium-profile tires.
As stated before, the vehicle is equipped with a roof-mounted fixed minigun that resembles a GAU-17/A gatling gun. It can also be modified to equip four front missile launchers, a swiveling dual-gun remote turret and dual rear mortar launchers that appear to be an altered EIMOS integrated mortar system.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Vehicle[]
The Weaponized Tampa is one of the fastest weaponized vehicles, performing slightly better than its normal counterpart, thanks to its higher speed. Handling remains average compared to the standard model, but has better response on bumpy roads, curbs and uneven terrain due to the all-wheel drivetrain, at the cost of oversteer at medium speeds. Its increased weight means a slightly better ramming power against cars with similar or lower mass.
Like the regular Tampa, the vehicle is powered by a 310 cubic inches (5.1 liter) V8, positioned in a front-engine, all wheel drive configuration (1/4 of the engine power to the front wheels and the rest to the rear wheels) and coupled to a 4-speed gearbox. The engine also has a mounted cylindrical air filter by default. It shares the same engine sound as the regular Tampa, being a variation of the one from cars like the Buccaneer, the Blade and the Nightshade, also featuring a supercharged sound effect that is amplified when the "Turbo" upgrade is equipped.
Armor[]
The armor upgrades add armor plated panels and bullbars to the vehicle, although the occupants are still exposed to gunfire and the car can still explode with a single explosive. However, it can withstand other vehicles exploding next to it when shot by the minigun, giving the occupants some time to leave the vehicle before it explodes.
Weaponry[]
The Weaponized Tampa makes up for its weak armor in having several weapons, all of them operated by the driver:
- Fixed Minigun: The stock option offers a forward-facing Minigun, which has the same offensive capabilities as the ones from vehicles such as the Valkyrie and the Turreted Limo. This weapon also retains the ability to destroy vehicles instantly upon being damaged enough.
- Dual Minigun: The vehicle can be upgraded with two swiveling miniguns, offering a 360 degree coverage and a limited elevation angle of about -10 to 20 degrees. It has the same characteristics as the stock weapon and minigun turrets found on select weaponized vehicles, but has an increased fire rate of 1500 rounds per minute (compared to the single minigun's fire rate of 1200 rounds per minute). This makes the weapon extremely powerful, able to destroy unarmored vehicles in seconds, shredding players almost instantly, and the fact that they can be aimed makes them unmatched in bullet-based vehicle weaponry. However, because of the limited elevation angle, it is very difficult to attack aircraft unless they are flying too low.
- Missiles: The missile launcher upgrade adds two missile launchers mounted in the grille and two in the lower bumper, which behave like those of the Ruiner 2000. The missiles deal the same damage as those from weaponized aircraft, but they have no lock-on capabilities and there is also a limited number of 20 missiles. The missiles are also launched slightly upwards, so targets that are far enough may not be able to be hit. It is, however, rather easy to accidentally fire a missile directly into the ground in front of the car after slamming the brakes, or while going uphill, and doing this will destroy the car instantly. Care must be taken to not commit a rather expensive suicide by point blanking oneself with a missile.
- Rear Mortar: The mortar upgrade adds two short-ranged mortar guns mounted on the trunk, which provide great damage against pursuing vehicles, but also have limited capacity (also 20, 10 for each mortar). The mortars have a unique feature where the projectile's distance can vary depending on the length of the button press. Holding the button for two seconds lets the mortar reach its maximum distance of about 25 meters when stationary, about two cars away from the vehicle. Fire rate varies on how the player presses the firing button, allowing for either two rounds simultaneously with a slight recharge time of almost two seconds or firing at a constant rate to allow the launcher recharge at time.
- The vehicle has the option for installing Proximity Mines, which behave the same as any remote explosive and are operated by the driver. These mines are a bit stronger than their hand-held counterparts and are also limited to five active mines. Caution should be taken when using it, as it can potentially damage or destroy the vehicle.
