I killed a savage earlier with this baby. I would say I am the hero you deserve but in reality my pixels defeated his pixels.

 

That's it.

I killed a tone of these in a savage too

Why is nobody talking about this things absolutely savage engine sound?

 

Just bought mine today, omg.

 

If the idle was louder it would beat out the Franken Stange for best sound in the game.

 

Also everything else about this car is badass. Had to buy the vehicle workshop for it though so it put me back an extra mil.

The engine sounds is definitely one of the best. Completely badass. I would love to rev it hard and push the vehicle to it's top speed, but takes a lot of patience to drive the vehicle without crashing. It's like a heavy version of the Z-Type.

I dub mine Frodo Baggins, because it lands on it’s back a lot of times. Laying there like a helpless turtle, or a hobbit...,

Although the Franken Stange sounds good, I do prefer the sound of the Mamba and the Nightshade (even more fantastic with a turbo installed). The engine sound of the Vigilante....., could have been better, imo. And why is it classed Super? I just noticed it on the car info....

Nightshade is one of the worst sounding muscle cars and turbo ruins the sound for all of them. Just my opinion.

 

Mamba does indeed sound really badass though.

It is indeed a matter of opinion. I love the gurggling sound of the Nightshade and the sound of the Mamba, especially when it fires up. Of course I go first person in tunnels and rev it up.

The. Night sound could be tuned to give some better initial grunts like Mamba does when fired up. The ignition grunt is what makes Mamba so interesting.

Which has been the best sounding car in the game for a while. Anyway I blew up about 10 of these last night with the VIP ruiner :p and about that many oppressors and a few choppers and a Hydra.. Still amazing how many people keep coming for you in vehicles thinking they are going to achieve anything.

Lol. You had me at choppers.

The machine guns suck, but they're clearly designed for popping tires, they fire at wheel level.

 

It's fairly top-heavy for a car that sits so low to the ground so when it goes into the air it can be prone to spinning and tumbling. The boost changes your forward momentum in-air, but does nothing to a spin, so it's hard to regain control simply by boosting.

 

It's definitely an interesting car to drive

True, I've also found the MG are at a good level to kill people when they've fallen to the ground aswell.

 

After continuously playing with my Vigilante since buying it, I know I made a good purchase :)

 

I made mine brushed gold, I would have left it black for authenticity but thats the most common colour I've seen plus the gold looks surprisingly nice!

Oops.....

I also accidentally fully upgraded it, and accidentally painted it metallic black with red pearlescent

 

Love it

Can't use throwables from inside the car

 

One RPG, sticky bomb, homing launcher or missile will destroy it

 

Apparently, it is 3 explosive sniper rounds before destroyed

There are two things that bug me about vigilante, first is you can't go on sidewalk because front part of car is way to low so you hit it and if you go full speed you can start tumbling like crazy and second is how long b4 it gets nerfed on boost like rocket voltic did lol.

^ Voltic has had same boost recharge since launch, 9s...

 

You could glitch it lower (3s) but it's never been nerfed.

I shot many a player out of one yesterday, after timing my jumps out of my Nightshark. Waiting until they didn't have the angle because it turns slowly due to length. I wouldn't use an Oppressor against one unless otr/ghost. The rockets are faster in this like the ruiner. It is another vehicle to use against choppers and jets though. I caught a guy in a buzzard yesterday with the boost and then the lock on. I would say there is honor in that, but then again that would be ridiculous.

I bought one, and at first I regretted it as I went straight into a wall while trying to go round a corner.

But it has grown on me, yeah the under steer is appalling but you can adjust to its style yep you have to take corners slow and a dab of handbrake never hurts but point to point on a map it is super fast.

I do not tend to stick around in free roam much so it is not a PVP vehicle for me but on testing it out I managed to destroy a Hydra :) I was going off road up the hill from the stadium area when I heard the sound of explosive cannons behind me and a jet blip above me I avoid the first dive run and the pilot pulls up to avoid crashing up the hill that I was climbing. I see my chance and boost up the cliff and take off on the crest almost directly at the jet, the missiles lock on and I fire a flurry which all hit as I fly through the demolished ex Jet and land about 100 meters East of the vinewood sign on the track on all 4 wheels continuing to drive like nothing had happened past the sign, It felt so epic and I wish I had recorded it.

 

But I have using it in heists and set ups quite a lot and it is a great heist vehicle and will save time because it gets places quick and the missiles are very op against heist AI, It is not bullet proof but it does offer reasonable bullet cover and if you are wearing a heavy vest you do not really need to worry.

Explosive protection is not really needed in heists maybe on the odd set up like convoy you need to be aware of the savages but they are no real issue as long as you are aware of them. It seems very strong and takes plenty of non explosive punishment.

Anyway it will pay for it self eventually and it is great fun to use so I am happy I purchased it.

 

The Looks are all subjective but I remember going to see 1989 Batman in the cinema when I was 12 and I still rate it as one of the best Batman films so I like the front because of memories and do not mind the tumbler Mash up at the back, Love it or hate it unmistakably looks like a Bat mobile and TBH it makes you feel like Batman when you use it.

Never go in front or above this thing in an Oppressor - always attack from the back.

 

If you are in a ground vehicle - just exit it to prevent lock-on and use your Explosive Sniper.

I'll say it's pretty easy to shoot someone out of a vigilante if they're coming at you head on, the windshield windows are massive. But the rocket boost helps, I've mowed down quite a few people before they could kill me.

 

I painted mine metallic black with red pearl like Spanky did but it didn't give off the batman vibes I felt it needed lol I switched to brushed gold and now I just imagine rich ass Bruce Wayne stunting on a charity ball in an all gold bat mobile lmao
