The NOOSE APC in a pre-release screenshot of The Ballad of Gay Tony.

The as of yet unnamed NOOSE armored personnel carrier is a large four-wheeled armored vehicle slated to appear in The Ballad of Gay Tony DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV.

Description

GTA IV

The SWAT Tank from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was thought to have been planned for the beta of GTA IV, as it's handling line was still in the games files. However, there was no in-game model, and therefore no evidence that it was to be the SWAT Tank. It is unknown when the SWAT Tank was cut from GTA IV, however, it must have been quite early in development, as there is no SWAT in the game (as it was replaced by NOOSE).

The Ballad of Gay Tony

As the DLC intends to return to the over-the-top style of GTA San Andreas, the APC was created for the game in a similar design as the SWAT Tank in GTA San Andreas. In place of the SWAT Tank's water cannon is an turret that is fully rotatable and loaded with explosive rounds.

The APC is described on the official TBOGT website as an "armored personnel carrier" utilized by "N.O.O.S.E", leading to speculation the official name of the vehicle is the "NOOSE APC" or "NOOSE Tank".

-Speculation rose about the return of the Rhino (or a similar tank) in the upcoming [[DLC]], from the first trailer, showing the DLC returning to the over-the-top style of San Andreas. In the trailer "Meet Usuf Amir" there was a glimpse of a vehicle that looked like the SWAT Tank from GTA:SA. Soon after the trailer was released, [[Rockstar Games]] released the new section of their website, detailing the vehicles of the new episode. It gave this description of the NOOSE APC:
-<i>Nothing says "I've made it in this town" a like a N.O.O.S.E armored personnel carrier, equipped with a 360-degree rotatable turret and explosive ordinance.</i>
