Deja

About this item

The Deja is a vehicle in Jailbreak that was released in the Balance Update, along with the Ray. This small Japanese car is the first of many new 'affordable' vehicles which asimo3089 has stated he would be focusing on after the release of the now-removed Blade. The Deja spawns in the Prison Police Station parking lot. Prior to the Dream Homes Update, it spawned on a sidewalk next to the buyable house in the town. Prior to the 2023 Prison Update, it previously spawned in the now-removed Prison Garage.When drifting, the Deja features a thick white smoke effect, similar to the one seen in the street-racing manga and anime series named Initial D. Only the Deja, Proto-08 and Parisian had this effect, all other vehicles featured the default thin black smoke when drifting. However, as of the April 2023 update, the Deja no longer has a unique drift effect. Instead, it was replaced with the classic drift effect that most vehicles have. It can be replicated with the “Performance” drift customization option in the Vehicle customization menu. It, the Desert Crawler and Delorean, are also currently the only purchasable vehicles with an overdrive gear. The Deja is also a popular car as of the Town Revamp Update. Prior to this, its spawn location at the Mountainside Town was a factor which made some players not purchase it, as the Town was heavily unvisited. Though, when the Prison Garage was added, Police vehicles such as the Surus, Patrol, and SWAT Van were moved into it, but oddly enough, the Camaro was absent. Instead, the Deja spawned in the final slot, and the Camaro gained a second spawn outside the parking lot. Now, due to its very accessible and visited spawn point and cheap price, it is quite common to see new players driving around in the Deja. Unlike the Mighty, the Deja was slightly slower than the Camaro and Pickup. The acceleration was also not as great, being comparable to that of the Camaro and Pickup. It is, however, cheaper than the Mighty, which somewhat justifies its worse performance. When compared to the Camaro and Pickup, the Deja was beaten in mid-range to long-range travel, but in shorter distances, it was equal to them. Overall, the Deja was considered quite inferior to the Mighty in terms of overall performance and was comparable to the Camaro, Pickup, and the Dirtbike. When using this for fun, due to its unique smoke effect as well as its anime popularity, makes the Deja a very fun car. However, for players starting the game, it was recommended that they purchased the Model 3 for 16,000. However, as of the July 2022 Update, the Deja has been buffed, now having a great top speed. It now has an overdrive gear as well, similar to the Arachnid and Delorean. Its acceleration was buffed as well. It is now able to beat the Camaro, Pickup, Badger, and even the Model 3. It is just behind the Raptor, and a bunch of other vehicles, making it a vehicle worth its cheap price. It also does not require hijacking to get it from the Prison, so it is easy to escape by using the ramp and using Rocket Fuel.
