Design and Performance


The Cutter is an industrial vehicle in GTA 5 manufactured by HVY. It is used to dig tunnels. It has a large semi-circular panel at the front that is fitted with sharp circular blades. The semi-circular panel is fitted to the body of the vehicle with a hydraulic system. The hydraulics can be seen along with some wires hanging that most likely provide the blade motors with power.


This vehicle is inspired by the vehicle very similar to the Cutter featured in the movie ‘Die Hard with a Vengeance’ released in 1995. This is a single seater vehicle which is maneuvered by the rear wheels. The driver cab is on the left side of the vehicle and the rest of the body has a very boxy shape. There is an exhaust pipe at the rear right end of the body. This pipe is vertical, like the ones on the Packer and other heavy duty trucks. Black smoke can be seen emitting from this exhaust pipe. The Cutter has the same reverse tone beep as buses and trucks.


(The Cutter being used in the Obvious Approach of The Big Score)


In the mission, the Cutter is only driven a little forward and backward. The digging is done in a cutscene and hence the performance of this vehicle cannot be described accurately. However, after testing the Cutter with mods, it can be concluded that the blades are completely useless and are just for the look. There is no use for this vehicle outside of the mission. The Cutter does not drill into any walls nor do the blades do any damage to cars or NPCs. It is a heavy vehicle that can easily push around other vehicles. The Cutter has an all wheel drive configuration and does not move very fast.


Modifications


This vehicle cannot be modified.


Prominent appearance in missions


  • Driller - The Cutter is driven by Michael De Santa to a parking lot while on a trailer.

  • The Big Score (Obvious Approach) - Used by Franklin Clinton to drill a hole in the wall that leads to the Union Depository vault.


Locations

(The cutter spawned on top of the Maze Bank Tower using mods)


The Cutter cannot be obtained in the game during free roam without mods or exploits. The Cutter only appears in the missions Driller and The Big Score - Obvious approach. It is driven by Franklin for less than a minute while drilling a hole into the wall of the vault of the Union Depository. Other than that, it only appears in cutscenes.


Trivia


  • While the Cutter is referred to as a tunnel boring machine, more realistic-looking tunnel boring machines can also be seen in the game.

  • The Cutter cannot destroy solid/non-destructible parts of the world, so if the player manages to obtain one, it won't drill anything or even slice a car. This is because the wall from the Union Depository was scripted to be destroyed.

  • Oddly, the motor device connecting the main cutters to the shaft is made up of many textures from multiple parts, including lights, camshaft covers, carburetors, engine block detail, warning signs and spark plug textures.

  • Despite being available for only a brief segment in GTA V, the player will still be able to honk the horn when drilling underground.
