Overview / Description
The Mammoth Patriot Mil-Spec is a military-grade, armored SUV featured in Grand Theft Auto Online.
Manufactured by Mammoth, this off-road vehicle is based on the iconic Hummer H1 and Mil-Spec Automotive's customized H1 series.
Its robust build, aggressive styling, and upgradable armor make it a status symbol among players who value both survivability and intimidation on the streets of Los Santos.
Design and Appearance
The Patriot Mil-Spec draws heavy inspiration from the real-world Hummer H1 and Mil-Spec Automotive's bespoke H1 modifications, featuring a boxy, utilitarian shape, pronounced wheel arches, and a raised, imposing stance.
The exterior is characterized by armored plating, reinforced bumpers, and military-style detailing such as roof rails and utility hooks. The front end sports a distinctive grille and angular headlights, while the rear is outfitted with a spare tire and robust tailgate.
The interior reflects the utilitarian, rugged nature of the vehicle, with seating for four and a dashboard designed for durability and function. The vehicle is available in a variety of colors and can be extensively modified for both appearance and performance.
Performance
The Patriot Mil-Spec stands out for its imposing presence, rugged durability, and extensive customization options, making it a popular choice for players seeking both protection and style in the game's challenging environments.
While not the fastest SUV in terms of acceleration or top speed, its weight and armored construction make it highly resilient in hostile situations, such as gunfights and explosive encounters.
The handling is stable, though somewhat heavy, befitting its armored nature. Braking is adequate for its size, and the vehicle maintains good control on uneven terrain.
Performance can be further enhanced through upgrades at modification shops such as Los Santos Customs, improving speed, acceleration, and overall handling.
