The NOOSE Patriot is the NOOSE version of the Patriot, appearing in Grand Theft Auto IV. The NOOSE Patriot is called out along with the NOOSE Cruiser at a three star wanted level.

Description

Design

The NOOSE Patriot, is essentially based on the Patriot SUV, but is outfitted with a lightbar, as well as NOOSE livery and sturdier black rims and tires. The paint scheme is loosely based on the one seen on Homeland Security vehicles. Unlike the normal version of the Patriot and alike other Law Enforcement Vehicles, it cannot be repaired at the Pay 'n' Spray.

NOOSE uses the vehicle to ram the player and in roadblocks which are more trouble to avoid than regular police cars (the Police Cruiser ad Police Patrol) and NOOSE Cruisers. The NOOSE Patriot is difficult to obtain, as this may require shooting away NOOSE officers, get in the car, then drive off as fast as you can to evade the radius.

Performance

The NOOSE Patriot has better performance than the civilian Patriot, as it is much faster and has better handling. The only differences with this version are the brand-new NOOSE paint job, new rims, LED light bar and the on-board police computer. It is heavy and good for ramming, much like the stock Patriot. Like its partner, the NOOSE Cruiser, the NOOSE Patriot is encountered frequently at 3-star wanted levels and above, and sometimes will come at the player from the front in an attempt to ram them. Its elevated cabin and small windshield make shooting out the driver very difficult. The raised ground clearance however, allows an easy shot at the tires.

Along with the great performance, the handling is equally improved. Instead of being down and heavy like the normal Patriot, the handling feels like the car is lighter. However, along with being very fast, if you steer too much, one of the front wheels can lift off the ground and make it prone to rolling over. So you'd want to take it easy in the corners when driving the car.
