GTA Online - Scramjet Customization (After Hours Update)
12Customizing the Declasse Scramjet from the After Hours DLC update in GTA 5 Online!
The Declasse Scramjet is a custom weaponized vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the After Hours update, released on August 21st, 2018, during the Scramjet Week event.
The Scramjet takes cues from the popular 1960s Anime series Speed Racer and the lead car, the Mach Five. The front and rear fenders resemble those found on the Alfa Romeo 33/2 Coupé Speciale.
The Scramjet is distinctive by its rounded and sleek profile, featuring a trident-like front end, where the edges on either side house the headlights. The wheel arches appear to be wider than the greenhouse area and have a concave shape for the wheels. Two small fins can be seen directly behind the seats, over the rounded portions of the rear section. The rear end has a similar curved profile to the front end, where the outer concave portions house the tail lights and the edges on either side house the exhausts, which double as rocket boosters.
The Scramjet's aerodynamic design allows for good acceleration and top speed, as well as decent handling and braking. Its suspension is low due to its wheels having negative camber, often struggling to sort small barriers, but it is slightly compensated by the front end having a sloped profile, sorting out curbs and small bumps normally.
The Scramjet has 5 Advanced Flags activated[2], including the 4 flags introduced in the Southern San Andreas Super Sport Series update, with only the first three having known purposes. They are as follows:
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.
The Scramjet is powered by a front engine, coupled to a 6-speed gearbox in a rear wheel drive layout. Its engine sound is similar to that of the XA-21.
Armor
Protection-wise, the Scramjet offers little to no resistence to explosive damage, as one direct hit by a Homing Missile is able to destroy it. Furthermore, due to its open-top design, the occupants are also prone to sustained gunfire. Inadvisable to take this vehicle to heavy shootout scenes.
Abilities
The Scramjet has a power hop that provides the same effectiveness as the Ruiner 2000. This helps the car in avoiding obstacles such as concrete barriers and roadblocks.
The Scramjet features a rocket booster that is more effective than other similar vehicles, propelling the vehicle for two and a half seconds, but takes four seconds to recharge. Unlike most cars with the same feature, the booster can be deactivated, allowing for more controllable speed boosts.
Both abilities can be used simultaneously, making the Scramjet a great vehicle for shortcuts and evading most enemies. However, it requires practice, as the car tends to lean forward when using the booster mid-air. This also requires awareness of the environment, as the car may accidentally end up getting stuck or even sinking on water.
Weaponry
The vehicle comes with a set of driver-operated weapons located on the concave portions of the front end, next to the headlights:
Two standard machine guns that have moderate firepower against enemies and unarmored vehicles. These are in a fixed position and therefore, aiming is a bit difficult.
Rocket launchers on either side that provide heavy firepower against armored vehicles. Its tracking capabilities are good, although still surpassed by the ones from the Ruiner 2000. The launchers appear to have slightly decreased fire rate, taking 1.5 seconds to fire the next one, compared to most vehicles with rocket launchers, which only take a second to fire the next rocket. They also have a limited capacity of 30 rockets.
The driver also has access to their arsenal for drive-bys, being useful against targets that are away of the vehicle's front or in situations where lighter weaponry is vital (i.e. retrieving a target vehicle).
