Mammoth Squaddie Discussion Thread

[WildBrick142]

Originally supposed to be a part of the game, but was cut before release. Only leftovers were a description, engine sound & police scanner, and a tiny warstock teaser screenshot. Well, not anymore!

 

MAMMOTH SQUADDIE

"Long gone are the days of playing army men with other kids. Now you play army men with grownups. And what's more grownup than giving each other a high and tight before piling into an armored truck, stripping to the waist and making revving noises? It's just like the old days, but your mom's not there to make you snacks."

* Limits the effect of the HF_TYRES_CAN_CLIP flag to where tyre clipping is tied to the sidewall size of the stock tyres only, and fixes a bunch of bugs. Used on just about every car added since GTA Online: The Diamond Casino & Resort. Not harmful.
** The car loses less grip when turning, the lower the suspension is. Originally used on cars that can really be lowered such as the Asbo or Blista Kanjo. Also known as "camber makes cars go faster". Not harmful.

*** This is the raw reading without being influenced by other variables such as drag. The car is not guaranteed to reach such speeds.

 

Special thanks to @Pedinhuh for the above screenshots. You can find more of them here.

 

 

It appears to have been redesigned a bit from its original version in 2012-2013 (pictured). Notably with the hood and the headlights, having a bullbar by default, as well as a slightly different front bumper and new tires (wheel rim appears the same), and now no longer has a rear frame by default. The original description also has been changed.

"A 2-door light tactical military truck with lots of room in the back for cargo or passengers. Great for raiding a compound or rolling around with rappers or soccer moms, all of which need over-sized armored SUVs to travel through busy city centers."

That's about it. It's a really fun vehicle, and I'm glad it's finally in the game

I can't wait to finally have the old 3D era Patriot back! 

 

Also, any ideas on the truck? Looks kinda like an old Bedford 6 Tonne. 

[Hazzardtohimself]

I hope it's got some decent off-road grunt and is able to carve its way up slopes with ease. 

(maybe not to the extent of being able to climb up skyscrapers ala GTA3, but still..!) 

 

Lots of room in the back for an optional mounted machine gun too. 

 

Mildly excited about finally seeing this return!

To be honest, I wouldn't like seeing this with an MG mount. Plus hardly anyone uses the mounted MG vehicles anyway. You're just too exposed when everyone has insta death vehicles here and there nowadays. 

 

But I totally agree on the off-road capability. I want another competent off-roader, something akin to the Sandking or Burrito lifted van.

Very unique exhaust placement from what I can see on the Mammoth, possibly a modification option for the truck. Other then that exciting to finally get this mammoth variant in the game and hopefully it performs well

It’s a fording exhaust, to keep it up and above water in a deep water crossing.

Why is this thread so dead? Usually the new vehicle threads are booming(even if this isn't technically a new vehicle).

 

I'm hoping we're not stuck with the long bed truck version though, and that there will be options for a 4 door version, hopefully also with a mod for a slanted rear like the picture above.

I think new vehicle hype is overshadowed by new heist hype which is overshadowed by map expansion hype (along with new console hype), so for once some cool new vehicles (Hummer and Jeep!) are taking a back burner. There's still 3 weeks til the DLC drops so lots of time to cover the new vehicles. 

 

As for the 4-door version, are there any vehicles in GTA where you can modify them to change from 2-door to 4-door? Passenger capacity is usually a fixed number? But really I hope that we can upgrade the 2-door military humvee to a 4-door civilian hummer, through something like Benny's, so there will be lots of modifications and that could be a 4-door. A slant back would be great regardless. 

 

I'm pretty excited about all the new off-road vehicles - jeep, humvee, and truck - so hopefully the mods available keep up with the good initial impression!

Yeah, a 4 door modification isn't likely, but hopefully there will be a 4 door version, whether it's a Benny's thing or just a separate vehicle altogether. I'd buy both a 4 door and this 2 door.

[—TheSquid—]

I wonder what modifications we can expect. Probably cosmetic upgrades similar to the Barrage with shovels on the hood and boxes in the trunk. I'm curious whether we'll get a turreted version. If so, it's nice that we have it as an option instead of it being mandatory.

[Spectre "2K"]

I really hope there's an insurgent/menacer esque turreted variant honestly. I just want a fun co-op PvE vehicle and the insurgent is getting a bit stale while the half track and APC are too slow. And the Menacer is f*cking hideous. Even if there isn't though, a patriot classic is a long time coming, and i'll take what I can get

[CrashCarTV]

Just hoping it doesn’t cost like...over 1 million or something. 
I am actually pretty excited for it though.

I mean this thing is pretty hideous too. Just in a slightly more endearing way, lol.

Not sure. Can you sit in the bed of a Yosemite Rancher? That would increase passenger count at least.

From 4-door to 2-door is in the game though as taking a Sultan to benny's does that.

Probably will be a 4 seater regardless, with rear passengers sitting on the wheel wells like how they do with the Bison and Bodhi.

Judging by the vehicles released in the past few years,I'm gonna guess it's going to cost at least a million,maybe 2-3 millions if we can put some weapons on it.

 

Though I am happy they're finally making a military version of Patriot.

The truck in the trailer seems wider and more squarish than the Squaddie in the Warstock photo. It could be a new vehicle based on the 2-door AM General, not on the poor Patriot.

 

Anyway, what if that truck is sold "as is" in Warstock & we can convert it into a full blown Hummvee with an optional turret or a civilian Hummer H1 by taking it to Chester or Benny respectively? They brought Benny back from the dead and this could be a way to keep the momentum going.

[CrashCarTV]

Tbh I just hope that we can at least make it a four door and put a rear cabin or bed cap on it.

[Pedinhuh]

I'm not betting on them making this have a 4 seater convertion option because they clearly intended this car to be a 2 seater in the front, with maybe 2 extra seats in the truck bed.

 

Maybe they will surprise us, most likely not though.

It would be pretty cool if it turned out to be a six seater at least, with four in the back. 

[CrashCarTV]

I actually just remembered that they made humvees that were just a two door. So on that note I’ll still be fine if it’s a two door.

But if there are light bars will they actually work?

The Summer Special fourbies proved they figured out how to make additional lighting work, so why wouldn’t they on new cars going forwards?

I guess considering both the roof lights on the regular and stretch Patriot didn’t work.

And then they forgot how to make 4x4 work on a vehicle branded as a 4x4...
