Reaper carries on the Mr. Grimm tradition of good speed, poor armor, and a devastating Special Weapon. The vehicle is unlocked by completing Needles' second event.

Special Weapons

• Chainsaw (40-150 pts): Reaper's primary special is a high-damage chainsaw that can be thrown at opponents and has slight homing ability. However, if you tilt the left analog stick down, you'll pop a wheelie and drag the chainsaw on the ground, temporarily setting it ablaze and increasing its damage significantly. This is the most powerful weapon in the game, able to destroy most light classed vehicles in one hit. However, the flaming chainsaw has no homing capabilities, making it difficult to use in hectic combat situations, it also has a slight delay.

• RPG (20-120 pts): The secondary special is an RPG which causes Reaper to come to a complete stop and the rider to draw a rocket propelled grenade launcher which can be manually aimed and fired. The projectile "cooks" like a remote bomb while in midair and can be detonated before it hits an enemy or obstacle.
  

Trivia

• Reaper's special attack is tied with Death Warrant for the fastest recharge rate, but it also has the weakest armor of any vehicle.
  • The fully-charged chainsaw special can destroy five vehicles regardless of their health: Kamikaze (150 HP), Talon, Limo (both with 120 HP), Crimson Fury (110 HP), and another Reaper (90 HP). It can also instantly destroy Warthog (300 HP) if its weak spot is struck.
• It has the third-highest speed in the game (90/135 mph), behind Crimson Fury (120/155 mph) and Kamikaze (110/150 mph).
• Reaper's speed is the same as Death Warrant and Roadkill. Talon shares its base top speed, but its boosting speed is slightly lower (130 mph).
• Reaper was originally colored red in the beta stages of TM (2012), resembling Mr. Grimm's appearance from Twisted Metal 2, Twisted Metal III and Twisted Metal: Head-On. It can however, be repainted in the paint shop if the player so chooses.
