"Back in the 60's a heavy muscle car with a reinforced frame seemed like a great idea because of all the drunk driving you needed to do. Still, perfect though it seemed, a part of you whispered the car was missing something - and trust us, when you see that sturdy foundation supporting a top-mounted minigun the final piece of the jigsaw is going to slot right into place. Throw in some industrial-grade armor and the Tampa will finally have achieved its full potential."

―Warstock Cache & Carry description.

The Declasse Weaponized Tampa is a 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 GAU-17/A 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 Tampa itself featured visual changes over the standard 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 windows pillars and borders, 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 modifications, being external protective frames, armor plates, and camo liveries. It also allows weapon modifications, being front missile launchers, a swiveling dual-gun remote turret and dual mortar launchers that appear to be an altered EIMOS integrated mortar system.

The primary color applies 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 normal Tampa.

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.

Armor

The armor upgrades adds 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. The car can, however, withstand another vehicle exploding directly next to it, possibly from being shot by the minigun turret.

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 any mounted minigun but limited to aim at the front, like most machine guns from various land vehicles.
• Dual Minigun: The vehicle can be upgraded with two swiveling miniguns, offering a 360 degree coverage and a limited elevation angle of -10 to ~20 degrees. The increased damage and fire rate makes this 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.
• 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 have great damage and range, but limited ammo (20) and do not lock on to vehicles. 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 infront 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 of 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.

Trivia

Grand Theft Auto Online

• Due to the unique free-aiming of the dual-miniguns, the hood and trunk of the vehicle will only open halfway to prevent any ballistic obstructions.
  • Furthermore, if the player has installed the rear mortars, the trunk will be invisible.
• The default radio stations for the Weaponized Tampa are Radio Mirror Park, Vinewood Boulevard Radio, and Los Santos Rock Radio.
• The extra lamps fitted with the modifications are non-functional.
• The car originally featured rusted trimming and rear-view mirrors in one of the pre-release screenshots.
