The Gat Mobile is a vehicle in Saints Row: The Third[1] and Saints Row IV.[2][3]
- It's not uncommon to see things like various vehicles around the city, like, for instance, the Johnny Gat-mobile. And of course, that cigarette in his mouth is actually a flamethrower... this, er, vehicle usually has the right-of-way.
- — Drew Holmes[1]
Overview
A large white van with a purple paint job and many fleur-de-lis on the rear, the Gat Mobile has a giant head of Johnny Gat on the front of it. The vehicle is always driven by a Johnny Gat Mascot.
Of the 86 land vehicles in Saints Row: The Third, there are 29 which are faster than the Gat Mobile, 40 which are slower, and 17 which are the same speed. Of the 3 vans in the game, it is second best in terms of speed, but has the greatest mass, torque and hitpoints.
The Gat Mobile is second in hitpoints only to the various tanks in the game.
Due to the size of the Johnny Gat head, the vehicle has difficulty exiting some Garages, such as the Burns Hill Reactors crib, and it is too big to enter the Saints HQ garage.
Weapon
The cigarette is a usable flamethrower.[1]
When driving and using the flamethrower at the same time, the flames are usually hit by the vehicle and not have any effect on enemies unless they are very close or the vehicle is driving very slow. The range of the flame is quite short and narrow, only hitting objects directly in front of the car at short range. The manoeuvrability is too sluggish to aim the flamethrower fast enough, making this very impractical.
Horn
In Saints Row: The Third, much like the Genki Manapult, when the horn is used, it sounds off the following quotes by Johnny Gat:
- "A buncha assholes..."
- "Ha... I love this part."
- "This is how it's done!"
- "You wanna play, motherfucker?"
- "You think you can stop us?"
- (a laugh)
In Saints Row IV, normal car horn is used instead.
