The Best Weaponized Vehicles in GTA Online, Ranked
The best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online ranked by use case, from the Oppressor MK2 and Khanjali to the Stromberg, Toreador, Deluxo and Ruiner 2000.
The best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online cover wildly different jobs, so there is no single winner that suits every player. A flying bike that wins griefing duels is useless for clearing a sea floor objective, and a tank that bullies free roam is too slow for a quick getaway. This GTA Online weaponized vehicle guide ranks the standout machines by what they actually do best, including the Oppressor MK2, the Khanjali, the Stromberg, the Toreador, the Deluxo and the Ruiner 2000.
Oppressor MK2: best all-round weaponized vehicle
The Pegassi Oppressor MK2 is the most flexible weaponized vehicle in the game, which is why so many players treat it as a default. It hovers, flies and turns on a dime, and its homing missiles lock onto almost anything. Equally important are its countermeasures: chaff, flares and smoke let you break missile locks that would destroy a slower vehicle.
It is sold at Warstock Cache & Carry for $8,000,000, with a trade price of $6,000,000. The Homing Missiles upgrade costs $180,000, and the bike is customized at the Specialized Workshop inside the Terrorbyte. If you only own one weaponized vehicle, this is the safe pick for mobility and self defense.
TM-02 Khanjali: best for raw firepower
When the goal is to delete targets quickly, the TM-02 Khanjali tank is hard to beat. The driver controls a tank cannon while a passenger or the driver can use a remote machine gun turret, and the hull soaks up an enormous amount of punishment. It is the vehicle you bring when you want to sit still and dominate a fixed area.
The Khanjali is bought from Warstock Cache & Carry for $3,850,350, or $2,895,000 at the trade price after running the setup mission as the heist leader (you need a Facility to start). It can also be fitted with a heavy Railgun upgrade that charges to fire a projectile faster and farther than the standard shell. The trade off is speed: like every tank, it is slow, so it suits objective clearing far more than chasing.
Ocelot Stromberg: best amphibious weaponized car
The Ocelot Stromberg is a James Bond style sports car that converts into a submarine, making it the go to vehicle for underwater missions. It runs two machine guns near the windscreen plus a missile and torpedo launcher set, and its torpedoes carry a large capacity of 60 rounds, which matters when targets dive below the surface.
It is sold at Warstock Cache & Carry for $2,500,000, with a trade price of $1,875,000 after completing the Submarine Recon setup mission as the heist leader. When fully armored it survives multiple explosive hits, so it doubles as a durable land vehicle even when you are not diving. For any contract that drops objectives offshore, the Stromberg earns its slot.
Pegassi Toreador: best weaponized vehicle for everyday use
The Pegassi Toreador improves on the Stromberg formula for general play. It also converts into a submarine, but it adds a rocket boost that works on land and underwater, two front machine guns, four missile launchers and two torpedo launchers. Its missiles are not capped the way a buyable Ruiner 2000's are, and it shrugs off explosive damage well.
The Toreador costs $4,250,000 at Warstock Cache & Carry. The combination of speed, durability and amphibious reach makes it a comfortable daily driver that is still dangerous in a fight, which is why a lot of players keep it parked next to their Oppressor.
Imponte Deluxo: best flying weaponized car
The Imponte Deluxo is the time machine inspired car that hovers and flies, and it remains a favorite for players who want a weaponized vehicle that handles like an aircraft but parks like a car. Its two homing missile launchers behave like the missiles on other weaponized vehicles, and the hover mode lets it skim across water and rough terrain.
It is bought from Warstock Cache & Carry for $5,750,000, or $4,312,500 at the trade price after completing the Signal Intercepts setup mission as the heist leader. The Deluxo is less durable than the Stromberg or Toreador, so it rewards careful flying over brawling, but few vehicles match its style and vertical mobility.
Imponte Ruiner 2000: best homing missiles
The Imponte Ruiner 2000 is built around its missiles, which are among the most accurate and maneuverable in the game. It also packs machine guns, a roof mounted parachute for surviving big drops and a power hop that helps clear obstacles. Its weakness is ammo: the buyable version carries just eight rockets with a reduced lock-on range, so you fire them sparingly.
It costs $3,750,000 at Warstock Cache & Carry, with a trade price of $2,812,500 unlocked through its related Special Vehicle Work mission. If you value pinpoint missile tracking over volume of fire, the Ruiner 2000 is the specialist that lands the shots others miss.
Which weaponized vehicle should you buy first
For a first purchase, the priority depends on how you play. Pick the Oppressor MK2 for all round mobility and missile countermeasures, the Khanjali when you want maximum firepower and armor, and the Stromberg or Toreador when missions push you underwater. The Deluxo suits flying enthusiasts, while the Ruiner 2000 rewards players who want the cleanest homing missiles.
