- Duped value decreased: $10,750,000 → $10,250,000.
Value Change Explanation:
The community poll result of “Decrease by $500,000” for the Raptor, bringing its trading value from $12,000,000 down to $11,500,000, can be attributed to a combination of shifting market sentiment, evolving player priorities, and the vehicle’s performance and rarity profile within the Jailbreak Trading Expansion. While the Raptor is an OG Season 3 police prize and retains a nostalgic and collectible appeal, it remains objectively one of the slower vehicles in the game, which limits its practical use in modern gameplay where speed and performance dominate player preferences. Over recent months, medium demand (3.92/10) indicates that while the Raptor still attracts collectors, its desirability among active traders has waned compared to higher-performing or more recently hyped limited vehicles. The relatively small active circulation of 729 copies ensures some level of rarity, but a recorded 3,639 trades in the last month shows that the item has been moving frequently, suggesting it is more available than some other high-tier limiteds, which dilutes perceived scarcity. Furthermore, recent discussions in the Jailbreak Trading Network highlight that several other collectible and seasonal vehicles are seeing value stabilization or increases due to upcoming updates, increased relevance in meta collections, or low recent trade activity, while the Raptor has been overshadowed by newer and more competitive limiteds. The poll outcome reflects a consensus that the market is currently oversaturated with Raptors due to its active trading volume, coupled with the fact that its in-game utility is minimal compared to its valuation, making it less appealing to overpay for. In addition, traders have noted that the Raptor’s duped value of $10,750,000 further reinforces the perception that it should not maintain a $12,000,000 trading value in the current environment, as the gap between duped and trading value had grown unsustainably high relative to other similarly positioned vehicles. This push for a $500,000 decrease aligns with the community’s goal of correcting inflated valuations for items whose rarity is being offset by low gameplay impact and moderate popularity, resulting in a new adjusted value of $11,500,000 that better reflects its real market standing.
Additional Item Information:
The Raptor in the Jailbreak Trading Expansion is a limited-edition pickup truck originally introduced as the Season 3 Police Team grand prize in OG Seasons, costing $150,000 in in-game value during its availability period. It stands out for its rugged, boxy truck design with utilitarian proportions, an open cargo bed, and a sturdy police-themed aesthetic when earned, giving it a distinctive law enforcement utility feel in-game. Its handling feels weighty yet stable with moderate acceleration, and it is capable of reaching a top speed of roughly 170 MPH, making it serviceable but not competitive with high-performance supercars in pursuits. With 125 HP and an estimated 0–60 mph time of around 7.5 seconds, it was never intended to dominate chases but rather to function as a thematic and collectible utility vehicle. The Raptor was vaulted after its original season ended, becoming unobtainable except through the Jailbreak Trading system on Trading Island. Only 729 copies exist in circulation, and it has been traded 3,639 times, with a current market demand rating of approximately 3.92, placing it in the medium-demand category. In the trading community, it is valued less for raw performance and more for its history, rarity, and its status as an OG-season prize, making it a desirable collection piece especially among veteran players. The real-world design inspiration for the Raptor appears to be based on a Ford F-150 Raptor, borrowing its aggressive front grille styling and lifted stance to convey power and off-road capability. Over time, the vehicle has received only minor visual polish and stability tweaks, with no major performance reworks, meaning it handles today much as it did at launch. Community reception during its debut was modest, as it was seen primarily as a fun police-exclusive reward rather than a meta-defining vehicle, but its legacy has grown significantly in trading circles since the introduction of the Jailbreak Trading Expansion, where its scarcity and OG status have imbued it with collector prestige. Culturally, it is associated with early-game loyalty and grind dedication, serving as a badge of authenticity for those who owned it before Trading was implemented. A lesser-known trivia point is that despite its limited speed, the Raptor’s weight balance makes it adept at ramming and blocking in police gameplay, giving experienced players creative tactical options beyond pursuit driving. Today, while no longer a high-profile chase vehicle, its role as a nostalgic piece of Jailbreak history ensures its place as a sought-after collectible in the trading economy.
