||
+ | The '''Blade''' is a two-door open top lowrider and a two-door muscle car featured in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'', and ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]'' as part of [[The "I'm Not a Hipster" Update]]. It is manufactured by [[Vapid]] in the [[HD Universe]]. |

||
− | | name = Blade |
||
+ | Depicted as a two-door open-top car from the 1960s, the Blade combines elements of several generations of the Chevrolet Impala. The fenders resemble those on the {{WP|Chevrolet Impala (fourth generation)|fourth-generation Chevrolet Impala}}. The front of the car resembles the {{WP|Chevrolet Impala (fifth generation)#1972|1972 Impala}}, while the rear of the car most resembles that of the {{WP|Chevrolet Impala#1963|1963 Impala}}, with a silver element around the tail lights. Instead of the Impala's signature six-taillight setup, the Blade has six headlights. |

− | '''Blade''' is a two-door open top lowrider featured in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''. |
||
+ | The Blade returns in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]'' with an entirely different design, styled as a two-door muscle car based on the {{WP|Ford Falcon (North America)#Second generation (1964–1965)|1965 Ford Falcon}}. The roof line of the car bears similarities to the {{WP|Mercury Comet#Second generation (1964–1965)|1964 Mercury Comet Caliente Coupé}}, while the rear is somewhat similar to the {{WP|Ford Fairlane (Americas)#Fourth generation (1962–1965)|1965 Ford Fairlane}}. The bonnet, double-exhaust setup, rear bumper, side skirts, and boot trim, on which the Vapid logo is located, seem to be taken from the {{WP|Chevrolet Chevy II / Nova#First generation (1962–1965)|1965 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova}}. The double front fascia and grille take influence from the {{WP|Dodge Monaco#1966|1966 Dodge Monaco}}, while the tail lights resemble either those found on the {{WP|Dodge Dart#Fourth generation (1967–1976)|1971–1972 Dodge Dart Demon}} or the {{WP|Ford Mustang (first generation)#1964½–1966|first-generation Ford Mustang}}. |
||
− | == |
+ | ==Design== |
+ | ===''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas''=== |
||
− | ===Design=== |
||
+ | The car is easily distinguished by its large grey bumpers, small front grille and silver trim around the arches, as well as the triple headlights and the dual red tail lights. While normally appearing with only an open top, the car can be modified at [[Loco Low Co.]] to feature a hard top or a convertible top. Unusually, the Blade has no side-view mirrors. |
||
− | Depicted as a two-door open top car from the 1960s, the Blade combines elements of the 1965 and 1968 [[wp:Chevrolet Impala#1965-1970|Chevrolet Impala]]s. The rear of the car resembles that of the 1963 [[wp:Chevrolet Impala#1961-1964|Impala]], with convex areas around the taillights rather than concave. Its headlight design is similar to a 1967 [[wp:Oldsmobile Cutlass#Second-Generation Intermediate - 1964-1967|Oldsmobile Cutlass]] (which may be the origin of the Blade's name along with the [[Sabre]]). The Blade has no side rear-view mirrors. |
||
+ | The Blade can spawn in a variety of primary colors for the body, as well as a secondary white or light grey color for the interior finish, which can be also changed in the aforementioned mod shop. Like most lowriders in the game, the Blade offers a substantial boost to the player's sex appeal, and can be fitted with [[Vehicle Features/Hydraulics|hydraulics]] to be used in the [[Lowrider Challenge]]. |
||
− | Being a lowrider, its exterior and interior can be modified at [[Loco Low Co.]]. If the car is equipped with hydraulics, it can be used in lowrider competitions. While normally appearing with only an open top, the car can be modified at Loco Low Co. to feature a hard top or a convertible top, although the latter is permanently lowered. |
||
+ | ===''Grand Theft Auto V'' and ''Online''=== |
||
− | The Blade may be found on any Mexican gang's turf, and is driven by said gang members, especially the [[San Fierro Rifa]]. It can occasionally be seen driven by non-gang affiliated civilians. |
||
+ | The car assumes the design of a muscle car with a permanent hard-top roof and a "gasser" style. The front end has a traditional bumper with a chrome finish and a license plate on the center, while the upper area is predominated by the dual intakes, a wide grille with horizontal separations and dual circular lights on either side. The hood has an elevated shape on the center and dual vented sections near the windshield, while the manufacturer logo can be seen on the front. |
||
+ | On the sides, the car has slight flares on the arches and long panels with chrome lines around, which start from around the upper edges of the front fenders and lead towards the rear end. The upper lines of the panels are parallel to the car's body and pass right below the chrome horizontal door handles, while the lower lines curve slightly downwards. There are also additional chrome trims centered to the panels, which maintain the same distance from the outer lines across the whole vehicle. The window trim and the inner separations of the cabin area are finished in chrome, and features chrome circular mirrors mounted near the A-pillars. A large trunk lid can be seen behind the cabin. |
||
− | Like most lowriders in the game, the Blade offers a substantial boost to the player's sex appeal. |
||
+ | The rear of the car is distinctive by a panel that is part of the side ones, also bearing a chrome trim on the center. The edges of the car have five vertical tail lights with chrome trim around each unit, while the center has a wide chrome section bearing the manufacturer emblem. A cursive "Blade" badge can be also seen next to the innermost tail light, just above the central trim. The bumper is finished in chrome and holds a license plate on the center, while two circular exhaust pipes can be seen below. |
||
− | === Performance === |
||
− | Acceleration and speed are quite impressive, and the brakes and slick handling serve the vehicle well. Although cornering is also excellent, the one major drawback of the Blade is its major oversteer, which makes e-braking turns absolutely futile, and driving at high speeds a challenge due to the potential loss of control at the slightest disturbance. The Blade is capable of withstanding significant impact damage due to its strong frame and overall construction; it does not fare as well against explosive damage, however. |
||
+ | The underside of the car denotes its "gasser" suspension setup, featuring small shock absorbers and articulated bars that start from the vehicle' structure and end in the axle. There is also a solid-beam front axle similar to the [[Hotknife]]. The vehicle shares the interior with cars such as the [[Dominator]] and the [[Buccaneer]]. |
||
− | Like all lowriders, the Blade is not recommended for off road racing, as it is prone to flipping. This is due to it's lowered height compared to other vehicles. |
||
+ | The vehicle is painted with a primary color on the body and the stitches of the interior, as well as a secondary color for the side and rear panels. The car uses a derivative of the "Muscle Freak" muscle rims seen in [[Los Santos Customs]] and wrapped in high-profile tires, with the front ones being somewhat similar in width to the ones seen on the [[Sabre Turbo]], and the rear ones having a wide track. |

||
+ | |||
+ | ===''Grand Theft Auto V'' and ''Online''=== |
||
+ | The Blade's performance is much better in ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'' and ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]'', and can be considered a {{WP|Sleeper (car)|Sleeper car}}, thanks to the high-output V8 under the hood. However, it is quite a mixed bag. It has extremely good acceleration for a Muscle car, but lacks top speed to keep up. When fully upgraded, the Blade's acceleration is very competitive against some of the higher-end super cars, such as the [[Nero]] and [[T20]]. Handling wise, the car handles less like a normal Muscle car, instead having a more unique, understeer-heavy design which resembles the [[Rat-Loader]] and other low-end Muscles. It will need to slow down into corners more than other cars, but can make up this lost speed with its aforementioned acceleration. Unlike other Muscle cars, it lacks almost all semblances of oversteer. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The Blade is also somewhat special in how hard it is to ram off the road. Being a very back heavy car, the Blade can shrug off most rear-end rams and attempts to PIT with ease. This makes it a good car for attempting to evade police, or in racing, as other players attempting to take down a Blade will find it very difficult to force the Blade off the road. Crash deformation only furthers this, by being able to take large amounts of head-on collisions before smoking, and axles being damaged is not very likely in normal circumstances. |
||
+ | |||
+ | It is worth noting that when in first person (or to a lesser extent, hood view), is very difficult to see the road while in a Blade due to the angle, so suspension upgrades are suggested for this vehicle or by switching back to a third-person perspective. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The vehicle is powered by a single-cam V8 engine, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive layout. Its engine sound is low-revving, similar to the [[Buccaneer]] and the [[Manana]]. |

Latest revision as of 22:08, 16 April 2024
For the boat in The Ballad of Gay Tony, see Blade (boat).
The Blade is a two-door open top lowrider and a two-door muscle car featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V, and Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The "I'm Not a Hipster" Update. It is manufactured by Vapid in the HD Universe.
Influence
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Depicted as a two-door open-top car from the 1960s, the Blade combines elements of several generations of the Chevrolet Impala. The fenders resemble those on the fourth-generation Chevrolet Impala. The front of the car resembles the 1972 Impala, while the rear of the car most resembles that of the 1963 Impala, with a silver element around the tail lights. Instead of the Impala's signature six-taillight setup, the Blade has six headlights.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The Blade returns in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online with an entirely different design, styled as a two-door muscle car based on the 1965 Ford Falcon. The roof line of the car bears similarities to the 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente Coupé, while the rear is somewhat similar to the 1965 Ford Fairlane. The bonnet, double-exhaust setup, rear bumper, side skirts, and boot trim, on which the Vapid logo is located, seem to be taken from the 1965 Chevrolet Chevy II Nova. The double front fascia and grille take influence from the 1966 Dodge Monaco, while the tail lights resemble either those found on the 1971–1972 Dodge Dart Demon or the first-generation Ford Mustang.
Design
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
The car is easily distinguished by its large grey bumpers, small front grille and silver trim around the arches, as well as the triple headlights and the dual red tail lights. While normally appearing with only an open top, the car can be modified at Loco Low Co. to feature a hard top or a convertible top. Unusually, the Blade has no side-view mirrors.
The Blade can spawn in a variety of primary colors for the body, as well as a secondary white or light grey color for the interior finish, which can be also changed in the aforementioned mod shop. Like most lowriders in the game, the Blade offers a substantial boost to the player's sex appeal, and can be fitted with hydraulics to be used in the Lowrider Challenge.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The car assumes the design of a muscle car with a permanent hard-top roof and a "gasser" style. The front end has a traditional bumper with a chrome finish and a license plate on the center, while the upper area is predominated by the dual intakes, a wide grille with horizontal separations and dual circular lights on either side. The hood has an elevated shape on the center and dual vented sections near the windshield, while the manufacturer logo can be seen on the front.
On the sides, the car has slight flares on the arches and long panels with chrome lines around, which start from around the upper edges of the front fenders and lead towards the rear end. The upper lines of the panels are parallel to the car's body and pass right below the chrome horizontal door handles, while the lower lines curve slightly downwards. There are also additional chrome trims centered to the panels, which maintain the same distance from the outer lines across the whole vehicle. The window trim and the inner separations of the cabin area are finished in chrome, and features chrome circular mirrors mounted near the A-pillars. A large trunk lid can be seen behind the cabin.
The rear of the car is distinctive by a panel that is part of the side ones, also bearing a chrome trim on the center. The edges of the car have five vertical tail lights with chrome trim around each unit, while the center has a wide chrome section bearing the manufacturer emblem. A cursive "Blade" badge can be also seen next to the innermost tail light, just above the central trim. The bumper is finished in chrome and holds a license plate on the center, while two circular exhaust pipes can be seen below.
The underside of the car denotes its "gasser" suspension setup, featuring small shock absorbers and articulated bars that start from the vehicle' structure and end in the axle. There is also a solid-beam front axle similar to the Hotknife. The vehicle shares the interior with cars such as the Dominator and the Buccaneer.
The vehicle is painted with a primary color on the body and the stitches of the interior, as well as a secondary color for the side and rear panels. The car uses a derivative of the "Muscle Freak" muscle rims seen in Los Santos Customs and wrapped in high-profile tires, with the front ones being somewhat similar in width to the ones seen on the Sabre Turbo, and the rear ones having a wide track.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Acceleration and speed are quite impressive, and the brakes and slick handling serve the vehicle well. Although cornering is also excellent, the one major drawback of the Blade is its major oversteer, which makes emergency brake turns futile, and driving at high speeds a challenge due to the potential loss of control at the slightest disturbance. The Blade is capable of withstanding significant impact damage due to its strong frame and overall construction, but does not fare as well against explosive damage.
Like all lowriders, the Blade is not recommended for off-road racing, as it is prone to flipping.

Grand Theft Auto V and Online
The Blade's performance is much better in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, and can be considered a Sleeper car, thanks to the high-output V8 under the hood. However, it is quite a mixed bag. It has extremely good acceleration for a Muscle car, but lacks top speed to keep up. When fully upgraded, the Blade's acceleration is very competitive against some of the higher-end super cars, such as the Nero and T20. Handling wise, the car handles less like a normal Muscle car, instead having a more unique, understeer-heavy design which resembles the Rat-Loader and other low-end Muscles. It will need to slow down into corners more than other cars, but can make up this lost speed with its aforementioned acceleration. Unlike other Muscle cars, it lacks almost all semblances of oversteer.
The Blade is also somewhat special in how hard it is to ram off the road. Being a very back heavy car, the Blade can shrug off most rear-end rams and attempts to PIT with ease. This makes it a good car for attempting to evade police, or in racing, as other players attempting to take down a Blade will find it very difficult to force the Blade off the road. Crash deformation only furthers this, by being able to take large amounts of head-on collisions before smoking, and axles being damaged is not very likely in normal circumstances.
It is worth noting that when in first person (or to a lesser extent, hood view), is very difficult to see the road while in a Blade due to the angle, so suspension upgrades are suggested for this vehicle or by switching back to a third-person perspective.
The vehicle is powered by a single-cam V8 engine, coupled to a 5-speed gearbox in a front engine, rear wheel drive layout. Its engine sound is low-revving, similar to the Buccaneer and the Manana.
