| | '''Derrick McReary''' (Irish: Darragh Mac Ruairi) is a character in the [[HD Universe]] appearing in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]]. He is a 52-year old member of [[McReary|McReary Family]] and the oldest sibling of the five. |
| | |
| == Description == | | == Description == |
| Like [[Tank|its predecessor]] in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]], the Rhino appears when the player attains a six star [[Wanted Level in GTA III Era|wanted rating]]. In all games, the Rhino can be avoided without much difficulty because of its slow speed and bad handling, but it's extremely deadly if the player attempts engaging one, and the soldier driving it always carries strong weapons. Also, when successfully stolen, authorities can bust the player due to the Rhino's slow speed. When it hits a vehicle, the vehicle most of the time explodes straight away; if not, it starts to burn instead, in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] however, this does not happen. Although the Rhino has a cannon it is never used by law enforcement, this however is changed in GTA Chinatown Wars as the Army will fire the cannon which causes massive damage to, and usually kills, the player. The Rhino is practically invincible to small arms fire and crashes; and only [[Satchel Charges]], Dozens of other explosives and rockets and the [[Police Maverick]]'s mounted gun can cause damage to it, and only limited damage still. Flame weapons (such as the [[Molotov Cocktail|molotov cocktails]] and [[Flamethrower|flamethrower]]) may also be used to inflict damage, and is as such the most effective way to do so, as fire will burn continuously the vehicle's health at a fast rate, like it does without discrimination to practically all vehicles.
| | Derrick was born to [[Maureen McReary]] and [[Mr. McReary]] in [[Dukes]]. Born in [[1956]], he is the oldest one of their children, followed by [[Francis McReary|Francis]], [[Gerald McReary|Gerry]], [[Patrick McReary|Packie]] and [[Kate McReary|Kate]]. He was arrested at three different protests in the early [[1970]]s, all before he was 18. In [[1978]], he and [[Bucky Sligo]] were both arrested for armed robbery. He was arrested in [[1980]] for cocaine possession and according to the LCPD, his heroin addiction was picked up in prison. In [[1985]], the last of his American criminal record was him getting caught carrying explosives. |
|
| |
|
| === Design ===
| | Derrick left for Ireland in the late 1980s when he was depressed, according to Packie in [[Three Leaf Clover]]. Francis allegedly threw him a farewell dinner in Chinatown. Derrick, Bucky and [[Aiden O'Malley]] (all Irish men from Liberty City) all fought in the [[:wp:Provisional IRA|Provisional IRA]] against the British during [[wp:The Troubles|The Troubles]], once fighting in heavily armed combat in Belfast, Northern Ireland (so says Derrick during Three Leaf Clover). Their combat ended by [[1995]], when the trio was arrested in the US for a string of extremely violent robberies (they robbed the mafia, according to Francis) and Derrick snitched on them. Aiden was sentenced to twenty years in prison, Bucky won his trial, and Derrick stayed in Ireland for years after, until returning to Dukes in [[2008]]. |
| In GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, the Rhino features a seemingly original but chunky design comparable a modified [[wp:M3 Lee|M3 tank]]. The front of the tank resembles an M4 Sherman. It is of heavy construction, with doors on both sides that can be easily damaged with even the slightest hit, and a truck-style 3-axle drivetrain with easily seen wheels. The turret can be rotated by pressing buttons, which made precise shooting almost impossible.
| |
|
| |
|
| In its original appearance in GTA III, the Rhino assumes a stark appearance with little details on its armored body. The GTA Vice City rendition, however, added various equipment on the vehicle, as well as enlarging the turret's barrel. While the GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories would follow design ques of the GTA III and GTA Vice City renditions, the turret barrel of GTA Liberty Stories rendition is of the same size and length as that in GTA Vice City, while the GTA Vice City Stories' is even longer.
| | He seems to be the most compassionate of all the McReary children, as is shown with the way he tries to calm down and negotiate with the bank staff and customers during the heist. Derrick wanted the money from the bank heist to be sent back to Ireland in order to help the "cause" (was most likely going to be given to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Irish_Republican_Army Real IRA] to purchase weaponry), however Packie refused to let him do so, saying that the cause was over. When his brother, Francis, discovers that Derrick has returned to Liberty City, he worries that he will reveal Francis' corruption to the press for money. He [[Blood Brothers|talks with Derrick in a park]], as part of an attempt to use Niko to kill him, thinking that he must go outside the law to take down his brother. Niko has a choice of who to kill. The player does not receive anything from Derrick for killing Francis. |
|
| |
|
| In GTA San Andreas, the Rhino looks like an [[wp:M1 Abrams|M1 Abrams]] and it is much more realistic. It is colored beige (desert camouflage), has a normal tank entrance in front and a new drivetrain with smaller wheels, which look almost like tracks. It also has a new steering system, that finally allows the player to make very tight turns. The turret is operated with the mouse or right thumbstick ([[PlayStation 2]]), which allows the player to shoot directly at the target. The Rhino in GTA San Andreas is also heavy enough to literally push aircraft, making the Rhino an ideal vehicle to push the destroyed [[Andromada]] from "[[Stowaway]]". | | In [[Grand Theft Auto V]], set in 2013, Packie mentions that Derrick is dead if he is brought along on a heist. How or when Derrick died is not elaborated on, though it can be assumed that he was either shot by Niko, or he at one point died of an overdose due to his drug-addiction, in the five years between the two games. |
|
| |
|
| Interestingly enough, neither the GTA San Andreas nor the non-GTA San Andreas versions have caterpillar tracks as their their real life counterparts; the reason for this is probably due to the limits of the game's engine. In one of GTA IV's DLCs, [[The Lost and Damned]], the text files remain for a Rhino tank, however, none is ever seen in game.

| The Rhino does not appear in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]; this is assumed to be because of Rockstar's goal of making GTA IV more realistic than previous games. However, GTA Chinatown Wars reintroduces the Rhino with an appearance similar to the original Rhino but depicts threads. | | ;The Ballad of Gay Tony |

| !Handling
| |
| |Handling of this tank is terrible. Even at low speeds its turns are horribly wide. Unlike the normal tank it has very poor acceleration, when maximum speed is normal for this kind of tank. It has a working handbrake, but because of its wide turning radius and dual rear axles it is difficult to tighten turns with it. Tank is quite bouncy, so its wheels easily lose contact with ground. Its small ground clearance, bouncy suspension and low torque makes this tank very poor when driving off-road, or even through small barriers.
| |
| |This tank has 2 steering modes: normal allows it to make turns a little better than trucks, and extra, activated with handbrake button, allows to make extra tight turns. It has little better off-road abilities, but it is still far from perfect. It has better acceleration and grip, but it still cannot go through high obstacles. It handles better on road. The turret now points to where the player's camera is pointed, making it difficult to aim in some circumstances. It has no lights or sirens.
| |
| |-
| |
| !Tricks
| |
| |
| |
| *The player is able to reach high speeds by rotating the turret towards the rear of the tank and start shooting. The recoil from the cannon will propel the Tank forwards, and vice versa.
| |
| *If the Tank hits a normal vehicle with a light amount of force, the vehicle will explode.
| |
| *Because of its slow speed and presence of doors, the player can be easily busted by a police officer, or any other lawman. It is even more hazardous when the doors are missing.
| |
| *The tank is completely impervious to explosives, but not flameproof.
| |
| |
| |
| *The player can still use the turret trick to accelerate, however, because of the camera in San Andreas, the player cannot see anything in front of him while the cannon is aimed rearward. To get around this problem, switch to First-Person view or Cinematic view camera once the cannon is aimed rearward.
| |
| *Damage caused to other vehicles is determined by the amount of force actually used: slight touches only push other vehicles, harder hits causes a vehicle smoke or set in on fire, and the hardest hits instantly destroys a vehicle.
| |
| *Because of the more realistic access hatch in GTA San Andreas, it is more difficult for the player to get busted.
| |
| *Hitting other tanks damages the player's tank.

| |
|
| In GTA III, the Rhino is bulletproof and extremely explosion-resistant; however, the tank engine will set on fire and the vehicle will explode following repeated impact from vehicles resulting in explosions. In GTA Vice City, the Rhino is bulletproof and explosion-proof and as such it is immune to all weapons minus the [[Flamethrower|flamethrower]] and [[Molotov Cocktail|molotovs]]. In GTA San Andreas, the Rhino is still a tough vehicle, however, after sustained hits from other tanks, it will eventually explode. While driving the Rhino, one should be careful not to drive through the flames left behind by vehicles that have exploded, as these will set the Rhino on fire, which causes very fast damage and usually destroying it. In [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], the Rhino is immune to bullets but can still be destroyed by fire and a few hits from another Rhino's cannon or explosives.
| | '''First Name''': |
| | Derrick |
|
| |
|
| Due to the introduction of thread for GTA Chinatown War's Rhino, the tank gains another a minor advantage in that it can turn while in a stationary position. The durability of the game's Rhino, however, is turned down a notch, being more vulnerable to explosive damage than previous renditions; a pristine Rhino will begin burning as a whole after receiving seven direct hits from a [[Rocket Launcher]] or another Rhino's turret.
| | '''Age''': |
| | 52 |
|
| |
|
| == Missions ==
| | '''Place of Birth''': |
| In the tank, the player can perform [[Vigilante|vigilante missions]], which means catching and killing suspects. The Rhino isn't necessarily the best vehicle to do this mission because the player risks increasing his own wanted level at an accelerated rate due to the tank's penchant for collateral damage. On the other hand, if the player cannot complete the missions with the other, comparatively flimsy police vehicles, the Rhino might be better. If the player can intercept the enemy vehicles, rather than chasing them, the player may be able to strike the targets with the tank instead of firing on them. This method cuts down on the wanted level the player receives, which may help him avoid having to fight the military on some occasions.
| | Dukes, Liberty City |
|
| |
|
| In GTA Vice City, there is a mission in which the player has to steal a tank, [[Sir, Yes Sir!]]. Its doors are closed, so the player needs to wait until the driver hops out to buy some doughnuts, or kill the soldier on top of the tank. This tank has a self-destruct mechanism which the player must disable before it destroys the tank. In GTA Liberty City Stories, during the mission "[[Shogun Showdown]]", the [[Yakuza]] are storing weapons in a warehouse and along with that [[Toni Cipriani]] finds a Rhino which he later destroys by detonating it with a bomb. In GTA Chinatown Wars, during the mission [[Deadly Xin]], [[Xin Shan]] has the player use a [[NOOSE]] Rhino parked at [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]] to create havoc, diverting the [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]] from his own machinations.

| | *[[1974]] - Resisting Arrest |
| | *[[1978]] - Armed Robbery |

|
| '''GTA Vice City''' | | '''Notes''': |
| *Starts spawning inside the [[Fort Baxter Air Base]] after having collected 90 hidden packages. | | *Police informant. |
| | *Confidential testimony from him led to several high-profile convictions. |
| | *Originally arrested after several public protests and demonstrations turned bad in the early 70s. |
| | *Became involved in more violent protest and believed to have developed a heroin addiction while in prison. |
| | *Recent reports indicate that he was arrested in Ireland. May be returning to the US. |
|
| |
|
| '''GTA San Andreas'''
| | == Trivia == |
| *Available inside [[Area 69]], but when the base is entered 5 stars wanted level is automatically gained. | | * Derrick's portraits are hung on the wall inside the [[Steinway Beer Garden]] and [[Lucky Winkles]] bar. This probably means that Derrick is in some way an idol or emotive symbol to the [[Irish Mob]] due to his past. |
| *Will spawn underneath the bridge going above [[Ganton]] after [[100%]] is achieved.
| | * Derrick's favorite radio station is [[The Journey]]. |
| *Can be spawned by typing [[Cheats in GTA San Andreas|the code]] "aiwprton" during gameplay. | | * If he was killed in the mission "Blood Brothers", his tombstone at the [[Steinway]] graveyard like his brothers, but with the gravestone stating; "Here lies Derrick McReary, Brave, Honest, Shot Dead". |
| *Police will use the tank to stop you once you achieved 6 stars. Save when it comes to clear wanted, try to steal and kill the person inside. | | * If Derrick did succumb to his addiction to heroin, he would be one of the few characters in the [[Grand Theft Auto series]] to die of an overdose. Much like [[Ashley Butler]] if she is not killed by [[Trevor Phillips]]. |

|
| '''GTA Vice City Stories'''
| |
| *Inside the Fort Baxter military base, it is there from the beginning of the game but unlocked only when the mission [[Over The Top]] is done.
| |
|
| |
| '''GTA Chinatown Wars'''
| |
| *Available for purchase from the [[Auto Merchant]] when the main story is complete.
| |
| *Can be found in a fenced-off warehouse area at the southern end of [[Francis International Airport, Dukes|Francis International Airport]]; activates [[Fast Tracks]]. Players will warp outside a parked Rhino at the starting point regardless of whether or not the player completes or fails the mission (Note: To be used normally, the Rhino must be entered, before the player quits the side mission and reenter the Rhino quickly).
| |
|
| |
| == Trivia ==
| |
| * Sometimes a glitch occurs in GTA San Andreas, where the player is flying and has full six stars, an NPC-controlled Rhino may randomly jump up in the sky and be spinning around very fast.
| |
| * Low-detailed LOD models of the Rhino in GTA San Andreas appear to assume a design more similar to older Rhinos. This difference is apparent when the player views one of the tanks from afar.
