The Suppressor lies in wait in Carmageddon level 'Blood on the Rooftops', on the rooftop of one particular building; the course goes through this building and onto the roof just after checkpoint 4! The top of the range APC is flanked by two regular Squad Cars. Sometimes it will get spooked and drive off the roof before the player gets there. It can take a huge battering, but isn't indestructible: Once destroyed it is stolen and added to the player's garage.

Short name (?)	Subpressor

Top speed	150 mph
Kerb weight	10 tons
0 - 60 mph in	5.3 seconds
Description
"Chief Biggun is clearly over-compensating for some personal shortcoming, although that pales into insignificance when compared to the compensation the state has had to pay out to the bereaved families of the Subpressor’s innocent victims."

The Supressor returns in Reincarnation in the form of the Subpressor.

The Subpressor as seen in Carmageddon Max Damage.

Initially, due to the game being unable to support vehicles with more than four wheels, the Subpressor would be 4-wheeled and was planned to have its missing two wheels implemented in a later update. That never happened however, and the role of 6-wheeler was instead relegated to the Super Supressor, driven by Agent Debbie O'Nutts.

Trivia

The Suppressor in Carmageddon is located on the roof after checkpoint 4

• The Suppressor is the only vehicle in Carmageddon and the Splat Pack which is guaranteed to be stolen once destroyed.
• In earlier games when driven by the player, similar to the Squad Car, the Suppressor uses the engine sound associated with trucks, rather than the siren used when driven by the AI.
• In Carmageddon and the Splat Pack, its gear readout is misaligned, causing the entire stack to be more and more out of alignment as the player switches gears. It is also notable for having over 9 gears, with 10 and above appearing blank.

Suppressor's speedometer offset

• As with Don Dumpster's Plow, the Splat Pack incarnation is larger than the one which appeared in Carmageddon.
• It is the only six-wheeled vehicle in the original Carmageddon. It also features two steering axles in the front.
  • A 4-wheeled version of the Suppressor appears in the PlayStation port, driven by Fatman Dimm.
  • In the original game's cut-scenes, the Suppressor had a color scheme of dark blue and grey. No yellow was present. The vehicle also seemed to be more chunkier than the actual car in the game.

    

    The Suppressor from the cutscenes of Carmageddon

• In TDR 2000 there are three versions of this APC. The first two can appear (even together during one race!) as opponents after beating the game. The former one is simply Suppressor, which is the final target of the Armageddon! mission and appears with Cop Cars. The latter, called New Suppressor, is obtainable after completing the the whole game. It is the same truck, but looks like it just drove out from the factory! The last one is a drone, which appears in the Police State levels. Strangely, the first Suppressor is a bit faster (229 mph) than the New Suppressor (210 mph).
  • In addition, both driveable versions feature a unique wailing siren sound.
• In TDR 2000's game files, the driver is called Sgt. X. Terminator (Exterminator). His line parodies the Borg (from Star Trek)'s "Resistance is futile".
  • The Vogons in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy actually say "resistance is useless", comparable to the above quote.
  • This description is used in Funsize.
• In the Gizmondo game, the driver was to be named Chief Biggun.
  • In the Android and iOS version the driver is known as Chief Biggun.
  • Chief Biggun returns again in Reincarnation.
• The Suppressor is one of only three vehicles in the whole series to have a ranged weapon (the others are Da Panzer and the Squad Car); the SAM launcher mounted on the top. It can not be fired.
• In the first Carmageddon games, the Suppressor is the only stealworthy vehicle to not be available for use in network game, obviously because it's overpowered and could give players unfair advantages.
• Noting the lack of windows on the Reincarnation concept art, Nobby theorizes that "the cops just use CCTVs inside the vehicle to see what's going on around them."
