The Raptor was a seasonal vehicle that was added into Jailbreak in the Season 3 Update. It is based off of the real-life Ford F-150 Raptor and is notable for its off-roading capabilities.
Overview[]
The Raptor is one of the two vehicles introduced as the reward for Season 3, the other being the criminal counterpart, the JB8. During its obtainability, it spawned in the Secret Agent Base along with a Camaro. As of now, this is one of the most rarely used vehicles in the game because of its limited obtainability.
The Raptor is a vehicle meant specifically for Police, as stated by Badimo, much like the Arachnid from Seasons 1 and 2.
Obtainability[]
Season 3 (Debut)[]
Unlike most vehicles, the Raptor had specific requirements that players had to meet in order to obtain it. Over the course of Event Season Updates, this vehicle's requirements and obtainability have changed.
The Raptor made its debut alongside the JB8 in Season 3. It required Level 30 on the Police team to unlock and cost 
150,000 to purchase. It naturally spawned in the Secret Agent Base until Season 4.
Season 4 (Unobtainable)[]
In Season 4, the Raptor was made unobtainable. If a player attempts to purchase it, they will receive a notification that reads: "Vehicle is from another season." At the same time, the loophole glitch that allowed players to buy the Torpedo and Arachnid after Season 2 was also patched.
Performance[]
The Raptor has good stats overall, but it really excels in the off-road performance. It also has a seating capacity of 6, which is only behind the Black Hawk's 8 seats and the Goliath's 11 seats, making it quite a good vehicle for teams. However, the Cybertruck, which also seats 6 people, and Sentinel's 7 seats and Prison Bus with 15 seats, outperforms the Raptor in most stats until the July Hyper-chrome Update, where the Raptor got buffed to essentially be a superior yet similar vehicle. All in all, the Raptor is a superb vehicle.

| Top Speed

Reverse Speed
|
| After its buff in October 2023, it now has a top speed of 171 MPH. It is slightly faster than the Jackrabbit and Challenger but is behind the La Matador. | It has reverse speed of 57 MPH, which is slightly above Beam Hybrid and La Matador. |
| Launch
|
Acceleration
|
| Has a launch of 60 MPH, which manages to beat many low and some medium-tier vehicles. It ties with Ray 9. | Quite fast acceleration, one of the best accelerating trucks in the game. It takes slightly more than 10 seconds to reach top speed from a standstill. |
| Handling
|
Off-Roading
|
| Feels very light and stable. It doesn't tend to bounce on lower-end or laggy devices. Just like the Cybertruck, it's controllable at any speed. Due to it's smaller size, it's slightly better than the Cybertruck in terms of cornering. | The Raptor is one of the best off-roading vehicles in the game. With it's high ground clearance, it easily can climb hills and goes through train tracks without any problem. |
| Braking
|
Durability
|
| Comes to a stop decently quick, but the Cybertruck wins again in the category. | With an HP of 125 and a disable duration of 7.5 seconds, the Raptor is able to resist more hits than several vehicles, comparable to the Jackrabbit. |

Trivia[]
- The Raptor, hence its name, is based on the Ford F-150 Raptor. This is coincidental, but it may be why this vehicle was priced at
150,000.
- This is the second Ford-branded vehicle to added in Jailbreak, after the Steed, and the third being the Interrogator
- The real life counterpart of the Raptor can seat five people, which the in-game version can seat six.
- This vehicle does not naturally spawn with a siren but is equipped with one in the Twitter teaser image.
- The Raptor was confirmed to be a good off-road vehicle, as stated in a Badimo tweet before its release: "Patrol the roads (and trails) in this off-road performance truck! Coming soon!"
- In the Twitter teaser image, the Raptor has a set of Arachnid rims equipped. Whilst these can be put on the vehicle in-game, the set visible on the truck in the teaser image is larger than normal and this unusual attribute cannot be replicated.
- Even with Tire Styles added in a future update, Classic Sport tires still aren't quite the same size as the rims used in the teaser, as they are slightly larger. Also, the teaser image uses Offroad Tires, which currently don't have a Sport or Monster variant, making them still impossible to replicate.
- Around the start of Season 4, the Raptor still spawned in the Secret Agent Base, however, it was taken off sale, making it impossible to buy and obtain despite it spawning. The spawn was removed in a later update.
- This also happened to the JB8 in the Criminal Lair after Season 3.
- Something similar happened to the Megalodon, SUV, and Agent.
- In a tweet by Badimo talking about Nukes, they stated: "We have plans to bring back seasonal items in the future!" This made many think they meant the Torpedo, Arachnid, JB8, and Raptor, all seasonal cars. In a later tweet however, they replied to a reply asking about these cars returning saying: "They will not. They're limited-time vehicles."
Miscellaneous Trivia[]
- The Raptor along with the J8 are the fifth shortest-lived vehicles that were on sale in the game. It lasted 134 days, between the Season 3 Update of June 23rd, 2019 to the Season 4 Update of November 3rd, 2019.
- The shortest-lived vehicle is the Javelin, lasting only for 2 Days before going off-sale.
- The second shortest-lived vehicle is Agent which lasted for 7 days before going off-sale.
- The third shortest-lived vehicle is the Torero which only lasted 9 days before being retired.
- The M12 Molten is fourth, lasting 10 days before being retired.
- Fifth is the Snake, which lasted 11 days before going off-sale.
- The Raptor was the cheapest seasonal vehicle in Jailbreak.
- This is also the only off-road truck to be seasonal so far.
- The modern seasonal vehicles are technically the cheapest seasonal vehicles, as they do not require in-game cash to purchase but rather reach their corresponding levels in each of their respective seasons.
- The Raptor is the fourth truck to be added, after the Pickup, Monster Truck, and Firetruck, and before the Cybertruck.
- Strangely, although the Raptor is pretty rare and old vehicle, it did not receive the "CLASSIC" or "RARE ITEM" plaque give to many other vehicle, such as seasonal and retired vehicles, namely the JB8.
