Please do those missions private. I hate when someone uses those in missions with others. People don’t join missions to watch you complete it in a car with rockets cause you suck at the game.
@@JayG724man its just a game, dont be so mad cuz somebody uses something you dont want them to use, and even so its literally in the game so why not use it?
@@JayG724 you would think the fact that they own the vigilante or the armored tampa with bunker research and are still doing missions means they've earned it through hard work but I guess this went over your head in makign your dumb arguments, also I'm sorry to tell you man but this game's pve is not actually difficult and doesn't deserve to be considered as some sort of Dark Souls pve where if you're using magic you're trash that is because all the missions are easy to do regardless and the only times you die is because of the bug where npcs unload their whole magazine faster than a CWIS AA system, if you want a real challenge then do pvp and then you'll really have a reason to say others suck at the game if they're using this or that (because guess what - npcs don't care if you play with honour). "People don’t join missions to watch you complete it in a car with rockets cause you suck at the game." Indeed they join missions to make money or help others complete that mission which perfectly justifies using a vehicle that makes it faster Hey actually if you really want to give yourself a challenge how about you don't use stuff like the oppressor mk2 ? That actually ruins the game and the people using it constantly do show that they suck...who am I kidding obviously you're saying that sh** like the damn armored tampa and the vigilante of all things are op and ruin the missions but you no doubt use the opp mk2 to fly around the map "because it's quicker and more efficient"
The Deluxo can also be used in a select number of missions. I've used in the IAA auto shop contract access card setup mission. I love flying to the airfield, going full scorched earth on every npc, and blowing up the jet before the dude with the access card has a chance to get out.
I was PISSED the Volatus didn’t keep its window tint when it’s converted to a personal vehicle. It went from billionaire-mobile to MedEvac in a heartbeat lmao
I personally think it’s one of the best cars in the game. That remote 50 cal with proximity mines and rear firing, and missiles: how can you go wrong? That’s FULLY equipped
Since the Declasse Impaler SZ came out, (90's Caprice/Impala) I almost never drove anything other again, such a fine car, feels like a classic gta car 💪
I use the weaponised Tampa quite often, and for PVE, the lack of bullet protection is not an issue at all because all the NPCs die so fast that they can't arm you. To this list, I would add the Speedo custom from the nightclub. For missions, you can also considerate some supercars like the Ignus that have a quite good bullet protection in the back (and with its speed, your enemies will be most of the time behind you).
@smittyjjensin558 the mini gun is great if you aim at the windows. The rockets are also pretty good if you slow down before you shoot. Just lock on first
The weaponized Tampa can be buffed to resist bullets if you get the Heavy Armor upgrade, still one missile gets you one less car. I tend to drive this one around myself, especially good for 'Critical Damage' pve mini game. I mean mini guns, missiles and explosive mines, what is not to love.
Tampa is my go to mission vehicle, many people pick a kuruma for things like Criminal Mastermind, but since almost no mission has enemies equipped with explosives, the Tampa absolutely shreds enemies. Enemies can't shoot your regular windows if they're already dead ;)
Another benefit to the thruster - you can have it out while you have the avenger out, the sparrow out, an opressor mk2 (or any personal vehicle/jet) - if playing with friends without flying vehicles you can split up your vehicles for them to use
I actually use a lot of middle of the road vehicles when the game puts things on cool-down or just for a change of pace, so i approve of this, good to change up your gameplay.
Weaponized tampa is very useful in one of dr.dre's mission, the one with helicopter chase, you can literally deplete the heli's hp to 0 in around 6 seconds
Yeah these days I have to do that part by driving my armored Kuruma just to make it stress free with Merryweather chasing, and use railgun from up on the hills, usually I just about get the required 3-4 hits, railgun has a surprisingly good range. You used to be able to do Dr Dre missions with Vigilante to make some of them super easy, but I guess Rockstar wanted to make it a bit more difficult.
@@samuelsiltala119 You could also use the heavy sniper with explosive shot from the balcony/rooftop to the left of the DJ set. Takes 3 shots and after you can immediately steal one of the Ignuses to start driving after it.
I love my nightshark. Oppressors hate it, fast speed , high armour, mgs and a clown horn, i love going after griefers with it. Toreador is awesome for hit and runs especially yacht campers
The Anti-Air Trailer fully upgraded with .50 cannons, combined with a friends Half Truck, gives you 2 fun .50 caliber exterior attacks. Found the combo in motor wars and fell in love since.
Another good reason to buy the Vigilante is, like the Toreador, it just shows up as a normal car on the map, you don’t know what it is until you physically see it. A great vehicle to combat broomsticks.
Fully agree about vigilante. Just got one after years ignoring it. It's awesome. I've been swimming in cash for a few years now and feel silly I didn't buy one earlier.
Same. Tbh I refused to buy it because it looked ugly as hell to me personally, but finally decided to try and didn't regret it. Dre Contract is completed so much faster and easier, it's awesome.
the weaponized tampa is my favorite ground vehicle in the game. the fact that it's allowed in any mission (heists included) no matter what even though it fires missiles and has a dual minigun is insane. also it's basically 90% bulletproof from the back and 1 or 2 of the windows are completely covered with a metal plate. plus the fact that this thing actually goes supercar speeds is pretty crazy considering it's an old muscle car with a bunch of armor, missile launchers, and a military grade mounted machine gun welded to it.
Best vehicle to use in missions such as the chicken heist and Dre contracts. Anything that won't allow you the use of a MK2 or anything with flying capabilities.
Just tested out the thruster in a lobby last night. There was a modder that was invisible going around the map, killing me, so i just started flying it around he tried to shoot me down and couldn't. He got so mad he went to the facility to orbital cannon me! 😂😂
The weaponised Tampa with upgrades is a good mission vehicle. It is good as a fire support vehicle in Rescue Agent 14 and if you keep it in a garage property it is really good for solo ECU and the Superdollar deal in the auto shop contracts, just go in the garage when you start the mission and take it out. But in free roam missionsband certain missions that allow it, the Speedo custom from the Nightclub and the one you unlock through career are great for assaulting and defending areas with high volumes of NPC's and with it's resistance to small arms fire it can serve as a makeshift APC.
Speedo Custom. I've been using this in place of the Weaponized Tampa for now, as I still have no Avenger or MOC to upgrade it in. Tbh driving the Speedo around isn't great, it feels so heavy, but the minigun is a treat. Love love blowing up NPCs with it. If I want more agility, drive by in Armored Kuruma or DukeODeath is ol reliable.
I can fully attest that the W. Tampa and Vigilante are AWESOME vehicles to use in PVE missions and Heists!..Last night I was doing a mission for Dax, where you have to destroy the Lost M.C. and then recover meth from them...Well after my Vigilante ended up in the water(Don't ask!), I called in my W. Tampa and it got me through to the part where you hijack the Dodo plane!
Just to be clear. The ultralight goes into stealth mode anytime you're at an idle. The engine doesn't have to be shut down completely to a glide. Just as long as you are not accelerating, you are in stealth mode.
2:10 The Schafter V12 was the second car I ever bought in GTAO. It still looks stock, black, with red interior and I use it all the time. I've won races against my friends in 811s and Vagners and whatnot, not only because I'm a much better driver than them and don't crash twice per race, but also because on the straights, they have a hard time catching me. 2:48 The Bati was the first bike I ever bought. It still looks as crap as it did when I first customized it, but I love it. Same for the 801RR, which has basically the same stats but looks a bit better imo.
About the AA trailer. There are two versions of the Insurgent (an explosive resistant vehicle). The other is a Pegasus vehicle called the Insurgent Pick-up. The pick-up version also has a functioning trailer hitch that can attach the AA trailer. The pick-up also comes with a top turret and seating for 7 people (2 front, 2 back, 2 bed, 1 turret), and the 8th is on the AA trailer. So you can have a full 8 person MC Club running around in this setup. The Pick-up also has some research upgrades for the armor, turret, and I think mines. If multiple people own an AA trailer you can get around the cooldown if it's destroyed.
pretty much any modern supercar has it now in the game, Entity XF was first ever supercar in the game where your prety much safe when getting shot from the back, ah good old times.
The problem with the Khanjali is that griefers on their broomsticks (Oppressor Mk2s) or Deluxos will eat you alive. It's useless against aircrafts basically unless the griefers are stupid and fly too close.
@@user-mt4ks4su3m and youre not alone, but i'm done grinding cayo on repeat like an adhd kid on adderall, and it never justifies spending 4 freakin mil on that. would rather have all the stuff i have and even owning 3 f1 cars have more sense than this
Vigilante is one of the best vehicles for mindless fun. The jet boost can be used to chuck vehicles or players across the map. Also has very high mass. So combined with the boost its one of the best ramming vehicles in the game.
I wish the Khanjali was actually a stealth tank like it was advertised. 😄 It would be so much fun to play with even though it's scary as f*ck to see a tank coming around the corner with no blip on the minimap 🤣
Finally somebody noticed the volatus, I use it all the time! When it comes to speed it’s pretty much as fast as the sparrow and it’s very stylish, very good as long as you are not in a fight.
AA Canon + APC = Good Times. It requires two players, one to own each (can't spawn both on one player), and really 3 people to operate optimally, but it's a blast.
Just got the weaponized tampa yesterday. Jove it. Enjoy driving around and using all the weapons on it against anything. Anytime I get annoyed by an NPC, yanking out that thing and going wild for a while is fantastic. (Also there is armor you can put all over it like an arena vehicle.)
Why isn’t the Duke O’ Death ever mentioned . . It’s 100% bulletproof from the back, can take a handful of missiles and it’s relatively fast. I always recommend this vehicle to any new players. Love the content as always TGG 🤘
@@brendanboomhour7606 tbf even nowadays you can be a returning player if you get gta for another platform, i did it after i got a pc after playing gta on console for years, and became a returning player, so you don't even need to be that old of a player to get the duke o death for free.
@@Theworldisscrewed well, I didn't exactly know that, I only know from my own experience, I started on PS3, moved to PS4 a few years later, had to start from scratch, but that was fine, my PS3 character looked like he was perpetually about to drop dead from lack of sleep
The Volatus has a reason besides the lack of weapons for being underrated. It’s damn near impossible to land in a hurry without flipping it on its side.
one other thing that's really nice about the bati as a new player. If it is your favorite vehicle then you will regen to full health while riding instead of half health. Very nice early on when you have a limited health pool and have other things to buy then armor. It is still by everyday rider for this reason
The armored Schafter V12 is also classified as a sedan, unlike the unarmored Schafter V12 that is classified as a sportscar. When it came out it was the fastest sedan by top speed and around a track and it still holds up.
The thruster jetpack is actually very useful in the plasma cutter prep mission for the Cayo Perico Heist! You can just snatch it and fly away fast and carefully.
The Volatus is underrated. The Conada is not much slower and the smaller rotor profile plus the more stable base mean you have more landing options. For the Conada, those are the underrated qualities has over the Volatus and the Sparrow. The Conada is quick, stable in flight, and more stable on the ground. You can get in and out of some small spaces.
Guys the hang glider thing has a crazy speed glitch if you get highish up with it in altitude, and hold one of the bumpers (L1/R1) while slightly banking the thing does like 200mph its hilarious
as a tryhard/pvp player here's my take on this: 1: dont use the glider is just weak. maybe for fun is ok but i never found myself using it 2: aa cannon, i guess is cool and all that is powerfull but this should be good against opp. mk2's. let me tell you it is not. one rocket and ur gone and yeah also gl finding someone to drive with u 3: the shafter is actually one of my fav cars, not because is fast but because it has bullet resistant windows and it takes 2-3 rockets. it is a good element of surprise because it looks like a car that blows up with one rocket. 4: bati is only good because its cheap, (you can even steal it off the street) if you have money (lots of) buy high end bikes 5: the volatus besides that it looks cool is kinda bad, very hard to land it(also in the sky is a bit strange to control it too) and yeah no weapons.. it's good only if youre like roleplaying cuz it looks fancy :)) 6: tampa is cool, not just theminigun but the landmines too, dont use the rockets one it plsXD, theyre bad, but yeah one rocket from a level 1 with the criminal starter pack and ur gone... an alt for this is the speedo custom, a bit more protection from bullets but still one rocket and ur gone 7: jetpack is veeeery bad to control, worse to land than the volatus, also when will you run straight line from enemy? idk not for me 8: the jeep rolls over at turns, i guess its cool that it takes 3 rockets, its just that if you play on pc theres no hsw so yeah bad luck 9: in a khanjali youre good until you see a broomstick, even an mk1 takes you out with ease. its good for land fights but nowadays everyone has a broomstick. its hard to aim up so yeah 10: i guess the vigilante is good for the missions, but only if you know how to use the boost, if youre inexperienced with the boost you take more time to get to a destination than with a supercar. outside missions... :))) just save for a toreador or mk2 in conclusion: 3 is the only one i reccomend!!! with honorable mentions to the 4, 6 and 9 check out my channel if you want, thx, bye :D
Apart from that unnecessary shameless plug at the end, i do agree with you. I found myself disagreeing with some of these aswell. They are not so much underrated than they are underpowered in 2024 and there often exist better alternatives, for example, Toreador is probably gonna be better than Vigilante and instead of Volatus, just use Sparrow. It's weaponized and even though it's weak, it has flares to deter incoming rockets and it's fairly agile and spawns pretty close to you.
@@X_irtz i get the part where you say unnecessary, but man i left a long @$$ comment, put work in it, so i sign my work, also is hard to grow a new channel so yeah trying what i can :D
@@LudwiQ6I'd say the plug makes sense in this case.. you gave a detailed breakdown so if anyone thinks your take is good they might like the rest of your stuff. As long as you don't plug after every single reply
@@jhoover8734i especially put the plug at the end of the comment so it not like “hello sub to me” is more like “here’s these facts, if you like what you read there’s more of it here”
I wish the Bati could be weaponized and armored. Feels like a missed opportunity for Rockstar to have a Imani tech bike. Franklin still has his bike from the story after all...
Fun fact i used to use my highly modified weaponized tampa and its good for solo missions because you cant use most vehicles in missions like tm-02 khanjali
I mostly use the weaponized tampa or the kunjali when I gave todo anything that involves killing npc's, but the weaponized tampa I use mostly on missions where I can take out npc's where I don't have to get in a vehicle as a mission requirement.
Definitely try Weaponized Tampa if you're on PC. The mouse aiming with the dual minigun make it the absolute best vehicle to use in free mode missions or other occasions where you have to fight NPCs.
Schafter V12 is a really great option against the Cinquemila and the Rhinehart in that kind of races. And, you forgot to mention that you can call Tony and get the one from the Nightclub. That one can take some missiles as well, even though it isn't the armored variant you show in the video. The Vigilante is still the one car that I haven't bought yet, after 4 years in the game. Also: The Khanjali. It's a tank. What else do you need to know, people?
I was getting briefed by a savage firing missiles at me in the vigilante the boost kept them missing until I hit the brakes and did a 180 immediately locked and fired. I got the dude. It was a one in a million shot, but I've loved my vigilante ever since.
My favorite non-lethal thing to do is go Off-Radar and sneak up to other player’s cars, back up to them and just shoot them across the map with the boost. It’s so damn fun! 😂🤣
Thank you for including the volatus on this list, all my friends said not to buy it, I did anyway because I love the airbus h160, and now they all fly in it with me!
I love the MonstroCiti it is such a fun vehicle but with the armor you can give different interior options and if you choose on eother than the stock option you will be armored (which i think was recently patched and is no longer true) but if you buy any of the interior options you cannot use any weapons so its best to keep the stock option bc then you can use weapons including sticky bombs plus it has an invisible wall in the back so you just cannot shoot through the back even if you do not put plating on however the invisible wall disappears once you open the rear door in the MonstroCiti so keep that door closed and your safe from behind. It does take some getting used to with the handling bc it tends to snap and oversteer or understeer and spin you out.
I just realized by seeing your name in game. Way back when, we ran a couple missions together 😂😂😂 back when there was no money in the game. I think you helped me get my first pent house lol
Fun fact : the vigilante and the weaponized Tampa are the only remaining cars that fire missiles and are allowed in heists/missions

The Insurgent Pick up can actually carry 9 people, on each side you can get a Person standing on the railing
@@justin-iq2od TRUEEEEE I forgot about that.
I didn’t know about the Volatus! Thanks for sharing! I may have to purchase that!
The Zentorno has a back window plate too. We used to drive it backwards into battle with AP pistols back in the day lmao
pretty much any modern supercar has it now in the game, Entity XF was first ever supercar in the game where your prety much safe when getting shot from the back, ah good old times.
I don't care that the Buckingham Volatus is the second fastest; I like it because of the way the blades are.
Factsssss! That chopper is just sexy and sleekkkkkkkk
@@tanman49 Hell yeah.
The problem with the Khanjali is that griefers on their broomsticks (Oppressor Mk2s) or Deluxos will eat you alive. It's useless against aircrafts basically unless the griefers are stupid and fly too close.
AA Canon with Nightshark or Insurgent Pickup Custom = Op
It Just sucks that you need actual Bruce Wayne money to afford the Batmobile.
It also desperately needs an armor buff
not really
I can male enough money for it in half an hour lol what are you talking abt?
It's 2024 and it's really not that hard to make good money on gta online.
@@user-mt4ks4su3m and youre not alone, but i'm done grinding cayo on repeat like an adhd kid on adderall, and it never justifies spending 4 freakin mil on that. would rather have all the stuff i have and even owning 3 f1 cars have more sense than this
Vigilante is one of the best vehicles for mindless fun. The jet boost can be used to chuck vehicles or players across the map. Also has very high mass. So combined with the boost its one of the best ramming vehicles in the game.
i always use the Weaponized Tampa in the Dre Contract missions
I’m sitting on 50 million and don’t even have this vehicle. That actually sounds like a lot of fun!
Good suggestion.
Bati 801 is a must for any new players. It’s a staple vehicle.
It's a must for the Dre missions! Take everyone out without ever stepping out
Vigilante kinda needs at least some armor, cuz the batmobile is as durable as a tank, yet several times faster, as far as I've seen from batman shows.
The Tampa with the dual minigun was my go-to for everything back in PS4. Nice and fast and a very powerful gun.
AA Trailer on an weaponized Insurgent is mindless terror. And the weaponized Tampa against Imani tech vehicles is hilarious.
I wish the Khanjali was actually a stealth tank like it was advertised. 😄 It would be so much fun to play with even though it's scary as f*ck to see a tank coming around the corner with no blip on the minimap 🤣
Finally somebody noticed the volatus, I use it all the time! When it comes to speed it’s pretty much as fast as the sparrow and it’s very stylish, very good as long as you are not in a fight.
Vigilante is also insane at ramming, you can send cars flying its hilarious. Also tank has a remote control .50cal passengers can use which is OP
AA Canon + APC = Good Times. It requires two players, one to own each (can't spawn both on one player), and really 3 people to operate optimally, but it's a blast.
Remember, the Duke o’death is free to use, it’s an armored dukes.
I love the vigilante but it should be more armored and take way more rockets
The Schafter V12 also has one of the best sounding engine notes in the game. Personally, it’s that, the Stirling GT, and the BlackFin.
I got another thing tjats good about the vigilante. When you hitting cars you are almost never stopping. You just drive on like nothing happened
Just got the weaponized tampa yesterday. Jove it. Enjoy driving around and using all the weapons on it against anything. Anytime I get annoyed by an NPC, yanking out that thing and going wild for a while is fantastic. (Also there is armor you can put all over it like an arena vehicle.)
Why isn’t the Duke O’ Death ever mentioned . . It’s 100% bulletproof from the back, can take a handful of missiles and it’s relatively fast. I always recommend this vehicle to any new players. Love the content as always TGG 🤘
The Duke 'O Death is only free for returning players, not everyone started on PS3, Xbox 360 or early GTA Online on PC
@@brendanboomhour7606 Thanks I didn’t know that 🤣🤣🤣
But still 🤣🤣🤣
@@brendanboomhour7606 tbf even nowadays you can be a returning player if you get gta for another platform, i did it after i got a pc after playing gta on console for years, and became a returning player, so you don't even need to be that old of a player to get the duke o death for free.
@@Theworldisscrewed well, I didn't exactly know that, I only know from my own experience, I started on PS3, moved to PS4 a few years later, had to start from scratch, but that was fine, my PS3 character looked like he was perpetually about to drop dead from lack of sleep
The Volatus has a reason besides the lack of weapons for being underrated. It’s damn near impossible to land in a hurry without flipping it on its side.
The lowrider vehicles are kinda underrated, i know they're not fast and they're meant for cruising but the customization is pretty good
Nothings more fun than the Ramp Buggy! Yet I hardly ever see anyone driving it
@@jamesbrooks5391 because it gets blown up easy and public lobbies won’t stand for you having fun lol
@@stern2701 public is toxic
The stromberg is also super Underrated
The khanjali is also fully bulletproof, it doesn’t take damage from bullets so no matter how much you shoot it it won’t get destroyed
one other thing that's really nice about the bati as a new player. If it is your favorite vehicle then you will regen to full health while riding instead of half health. Very nice early on when you have a limited health pool and have other things to buy then armor. It is still by everyday rider for this reason
Weaponized Tampa has proximity mines too. I love that car. It's so fun to drive.
The armored Schafter V12 is also classified as a sedan, unlike the unarmored Schafter V12 that is classified as a sportscar.
When it came out it was the fastest sedan by top speed and around a track and it still holds up.
5:53 If I’ve learned anything in life it’s always use protection 😂
Right before a DLC drops, TGG be like: Spend your money on these
The mostroCiTi can have both hsw upgrades AND Imani tech too, but when i added an interior type other than stock it disabled using any weapons at all.
How can I buy this vehicle? Only at LS car meet from another player?
@@BoardwalkCruiser it’s on southern San Andreas super autos under the 2 door tab
The thruster jetpack is actually very useful in the plasma cutter prep mission for the Cayo Perico Heist! You can just snatch it and fly away fast and carefully.
The Volatus is underrated. The Conada is not much slower and the smaller rotor profile plus the more stable base mean you have more landing options. For the Conada, those are the underrated qualities has over the Volatus and the Sparrow. The Conada is quick, stable in flight, and more stable on the ground. You can get in and out of some small spaces.
Guys the hang glider thing has a crazy speed glitch if you get highish up with it in altitude, and hold one of the bumpers (L1/R1) while slightly banking the thing does like 200mph its hilarious
as a tryhard/pvp player here's my take on this:
1: dont use the glider is just weak. maybe for fun is ok but i never found myself using it
2: aa cannon, i guess is cool and all that is powerfull but this should be good against opp. mk2's. let me tell you it is not. one rocket and ur gone and yeah also gl finding someone to drive with u
3: the shafter is actually one of my fav cars, not because is fast but because it has bullet resistant windows and it takes 2-3 rockets. it is a good element of surprise because it looks like a car that blows up with one rocket.
4: bati is only good because its cheap, (you can even steal it off the street) if you have money (lots of) buy high end bikes
5: the volatus besides that it looks cool is kinda bad, very hard to land it(also in the sky is a bit strange to control it too) and yeah no weapons.. it's good only if youre like roleplaying cuz it looks fancy :))
6: tampa is cool, not just theminigun but the landmines too, dont use the rockets one it plsXD, theyre bad, but yeah one rocket from a level 1 with the criminal starter pack and ur gone... an alt for this is the speedo custom, a bit more protection from bullets but still one rocket and ur gone
7: jetpack is veeeery bad to control, worse to land than the volatus, also when will you run straight line from enemy? idk not for me
8: the jeep rolls over at turns, i guess its cool that it takes 3 rockets, its just that if you play on pc theres no hsw so yeah bad luck
9: in a khanjali youre good until you see a broomstick, even an mk1 takes you out with ease. its good for land fights but nowadays everyone has a broomstick. its hard to aim up so yeah
10: i guess the vigilante is good for the missions, but only if you know how to use the boost, if youre inexperienced with the boost you take more time to get to a destination than with a supercar. outside missions... :))) just save for a toreador or mk2
in conclusion: 3 is the only one i reccomend!!! with honorable mentions to the 4, 6 and 9
check out my channel if you want, thx, bye :D
Apart from that unnecessary shameless plug at the end, i do agree with you. I found myself disagreeing with some of these aswell. They are not so much underrated than they are underpowered in 2024 and there often exist better alternatives, for example, Toreador is probably gonna be better than Vigilante and instead of Volatus, just use Sparrow. It's weaponized and even though it's weak, it has flares to deter incoming rockets and it's fairly agile and spawns pretty close to you.
@@X_irtz i get the part where you say unnecessary, but man i left a long @$$ comment, put work in it, so i sign my work, also is hard to grow a new channel so yeah trying what i can :D
@@LudwiQ6I'd say the plug makes sense in this case.. you gave a detailed breakdown so if anyone thinks your take is good they might like the rest of your stuff. As long as you don't plug after every single reply
@@jhoover8734i especially put the plug at the end of the comment so it not like “hello sub to me” is more like “here’s these facts, if you like what you read there’s more of it here”
I wish the Bati could be weaponized and armored. Feels like a missed opportunity for Rockstar to have a Imani tech bike. Franklin still has his bike from the story after all...
Honourable mention should go to the half-track
Fun fact i used to use my highly modified weaponized tampa and its good for solo missions because you cant use most vehicles in missions like tm-02 khanjali
I mostly use the weaponized tampa or the kunjali when I gave todo anything that involves killing npc's, but the weaponized tampa I use mostly on missions where I can take out npc's where I don't have to get in a vehicle as a mission requirement.
Definitely try Weaponized Tampa if you're on PC. The mouse aiming with the dual minigun make it the absolute best vehicle to use in free mode missions or other occasions where you have to fight NPCs.
another banger vid like always
If I remember correctly on the AA gun the person driving the truck can be in passive mode, unless that was patched, but doubt it
Love the Khanjali. Endless sticky mines and endless railgun charges, practically indestructible...what more could you ask for?
I use it for the Skylift mission during the Cargoship robbery. You can take out all the NPCs and helicopters easily and safely.
I wish there was a rocket pack and helmet in the style of the Rocketeer that allowed you to fly around Los Santos like a superhero.
The Cognoscenti is another good armored 4 door, I remember it taking 6 explosions from a mix of rockets and throwables.
Didn’t know the ultralight could take you off the radar like that instantly buying it next time I get on
It would be awesome if you could survive a orbital cannon by sitting in your flak cannon
Nice bro! Finally first to like and comment one of your videos!!! Let's goooo!!!!!
I love the Pounder custom with the machine gun and full armor. It's still my goto car for open world missions.
Schafter V12 is a really great option against the Cinquemila and the Rhinehart in that kind of races. And, you forgot to mention that you can call Tony and get the one from the Nightclub. That one can take some missiles as well, even though it isn't the armored variant you show in the video.
The Vigilante is still the one car that I haven't bought yet, after 4 years in the game.
Also: The Khanjali. It's a tank. What else do you need to know, people?
Would like to see a "vigilante" mkll upgrade with the "Dark Knight Rises" tank style. (Maybe the bike as well). Most likely won't happen, but still.
Yeah that would be cool.
I was getting briefed by a savage firing missiles at me in the vigilante the boost kept them missing until I hit the brakes and did a 180 immediately locked and fired. I got the dude. It was a one in a million shot, but I've loved my vigilante ever since.
*GRIEFED
My favorite non-lethal thing to do is go Off-Radar and sneak up to other player’s cars, back up to them and just shoot them across the map with the boost. It’s so damn fun! 😂🤣
The blade is a great car that everyone needs to buy this week. Such a nice looking car and its really cheap as well. Don't pass up buying the blade!!
Thank you for including the volatus on this list, all my friends said not to buy it, I did anyway because I love the airbus h160, and now they all fly in it with me!
Wish I knew how good the monstrosity was when it was on sale a few weeks ago. I had no idea about the upgrades
It’s also an Imani tech vehicle as well as getting hsw upgrades, it does both it’s so cool
The Z1 is underrated. Griefers cannot take you down if you can fly it. Its too small , fast and agile.
You'd think the batmobile would the the most armored AND fastest land vehicle. Scramjet #2 for speed, Ruiner2000 #2 for armor, maybe 3 for speed 🤷🏻♂️
I love the MonstroCiti it is such a fun vehicle but with the armor you can give different interior options and if you choose on eother than the stock option you will be armored (which i think was recently patched and is no longer true) but if you buy any of the interior options you cannot use any weapons so its best to keep the stock option bc then you can use weapons including sticky bombs plus it has an invisible wall in the back so you just cannot shoot through the back even if you do not put plating on however the invisible wall disappears once you open the rear door in the MonstroCiti so keep that door closed and your safe from behind. It does take some getting used to with the handling bc it tends to snap and oversteer or understeer and spin you out.
Problem with the AA gun testing is that no-one is in the vehicles, so they don't have their full armor stats
I just realized by seeing your name in game. Way back when, we ran a couple missions together 😂😂😂 back when there was no money in the game. I think you helped me get my first pent house lol
