What Is the Value of the Proto-08? | Roblox Jailbreak Trading Network

    Hello everyone, welcome back to the Jailbreak Trading Network. Today, we're going to be talking about the Proto-08. Now, I have to say, this vehicle always surprises me, both in terms of its recent value, but also some buffs it's gotten, as well as how it's been doing since the very mixed feedback it got when it was first announced. So, for those that don't actually remember that, in Season 14: "For the Champions," there was a handful of supercars that were very well received. One of them was the Parisian, and the other was obviously the Proto-08, and a lot of people were extremely mad that the Proto-08 was the grand prize for the season. The Parisian just had a lot more attention, and everyone was certain that it would win, and it just caused a lot of outcry when the Proto-08 was selected instead. So much so, that the Parisian ended up being added as an event-exclusive vehicle later that season. So, it was kind of like a stealth drop; it just kind of happened. It was pretty neat that we got both vehicles in the game. But that's what I always connect the Proto-08 to: just that drama when it was first being added, and it got announced instead of the Parisian. That's one of my favorite parts about this vehicle. As you guys know, if you check on the Jailbreak Trading Network website, you're going to see that its current value is $25 million, and there's a good reason for that. The Proto-08 isn't just any sort of race car; it's an electric one, and because of that, it's directly competing with the other big electric car in the game, which is the Roadster. And if that doesn't tell you enough, then I'll go ahead and explain further. The Proto-08 is basically a reskin of the Roadster. If you like the Roadster, then you're going to like the Proto-08, because its performance is basically on par. I think there may be just a few small distinguishments between the Roadster and Proto-08, but in the end, they're both so similar. I couldn't tell a difference using them, and because of that, you know the exact performance you're getting. It kind of reminds me of when I was talking about the Beignet, how that's similar to the Eclaire. I would recommend watching that video if you haven't already after this one. But essentially, the Proto-08 is perfect for those that love the Roadster. With the Roadster, you know exactly what you're getting: very high initial acceleration, just large bursts of acceleration in an instant, but a low top speed. And while that low top speed is definitely a bummer to some, and the Proto-08 doesn't really improve on that low top speed, it still does have some amazing handling. I mean, I could be going full speed in the city and have plenty of handling to make turns, without even tapping the brakes once. If you just simply let go of the accelerator, these vehicles just so much so gradually come to a stop, and just have the perfect speed left to make sharp turns. It's honestly just a perfect vehicle; that's what the Proto-08 has been doing so well. It's super satisfying to use. I don't have a better way to really put things into perspective. If you don't like the Proto-08's design, then I don't think you'd see much of a reason getting it instead of something like the Roadster, because at the end of the day, and this usually is the same for many limited vehicles, if you just care about performance, then you'd probably be better off just buying the Roadster for $600,000, whereas the Proto-08 here, it goes for $25 million value. So, while the in-game money doesn't really translate to necessarily in-game value that well, you kind of have to pay a lot for the Proto-08, even though the performance is the same. That's basically something you should know about the Proto-08; it's why a lot of players are saying that it won't go higher. However, I disagree. As this vehicle naturally ages, it's probably going to see much higher value, and the reason for a lot of items recently becoming a lot more expensive, it's simply because there isn't duped copies circulating anymore, or not nearly anywhere near as much of them, because a lot of the dupe glitches have been patched. So, the Proto-08, I don't think it was duped that much, because when it was released, it didn't have a whole lot of value. So, why would players dupe vehicles that didn't have much value, when they could've duped Torpedo's or something instead? But because of that, that's why the Proto-08 is getting somewhat rarer in trading. It only has about 2,000 copies circulating, and once again, I think it's a very fun vehicle to grind with. Now, that is also very dependent on how exactly you're grinding the game. If you like having high top speed, then the Javelin just smokes the Proto-08 every single day of the week, but the thing that Proto-08 has over the Javelin is just that insane acceleration as well as handling, and that's the main advantage of the Proto-08. If you're in the Rising City 90% of the time, then I would take the Proto-08 9 times out of 10. The Javelin is only going to really be taken advantage of if you're going around the map, if you know what I mean. That being said, this is going to be somewhat of a shorter video, because I think the Proto-08 is somewhat self-explanatory. I think you know what you're getting: it's an electric race car, and all of the electric race cars in Jailbreak feel very identical to each other. There's not a whole lot of customization you could do with it; I actually like leaving it at its default customization. So, there's that too. You either like the design or you don't, and you either like the performance or you don't, and that's definitely something you have to consider when trading for the Proto-08 or not. That being said, thank you so much for watching. If you're new to my channel, make sure to subscribe. If you liked this video, make sure to leave a like, and I'll see you in the next one.
