Top 10 Best Defensive Vehicles In GTA Online 

Before you comment, yes, the vigilante does indeed blow up in one rocket. My mistake.

In an Insurgent Pick-up, if you lure Oppressor’s into a tunnel like area and spam mines behind you, they’ll go low to chase you and set off a mine. I’ve gotten a ton of kills this way

Surprisingly, the Sparrow is the fastest chopper in the game. It will catch up and pass a Mk2 after a 1/4 mile or so. With limitless rocket spam, good manuverability, unrestricted call-in location and slightly better armor than the Buzzard, its almost OP for what it is, considering its a fold-up ultralight.

One of the major advantages of the toreador is its map icon. Or lack thereof. On the map it looks like you’re in a regular vehicle which in some sense baits attackers into thinking they have an easy kill. To me, it’s the most deadly feature aside from the missiles.

I was once driving MOC to stay safe and gow swarmed with 2 oppressors, they shot all they had and one of them switched to a jet, and finished me off. I was baffled by dedication

MOC cab is a beast, I had oppressor nerds say Im in god mode when they can’t kill me, that’s how strong it is lol

another note about the MOC: It can go underwater and drive at full speed, but once the water hits the exhaust pipes it's done

Bonus information : MOC Cab, Toreador, Vigilante and Nightshark do NOT have custom icons on the radar, so to all the other players you will look like you're in a normal vehicle. (The MOC cab only has a unique icon when the trailer is attached) Also a nice wee additional note - The Ultralight can stay off-radar indefinitely with the muffled prop upgrade - and is incredibly fast at maximum height (far faster than it has any right to be) - I kept a griefer indoors then into passive for 2 hours the other night because he was certain I was hiding off-radar in something else waiting to kill him. He only found out after he left that he'd been forced into passive by a hang glider with a lawnmower engine, lol.

A super awesome perk of the avenger that most don't know is of you place your deluxo in the back it takes more rockets for some reason to kill it and when it does it automatically spawns your deluxo right next to you. That makes it super easy to take out the other person that blew you up.

Something very important, while driving your MOC cab, you can shoot flares to repel Homing misiles and you can always buy more rounds on the quick menu.

At first i wasn't sure if you have skyrim music in background or not. BUT YOU DO! An odd combo but skyrim music is always a win

The toreador is invincible underwater if you’re being attacked by air vehicles such as the Mk2. I’ve killed many Mk2’s with my torpedoes and it’s so hilarious to watch the players stand still on the map after being killed and leaving the lobby.

The MOC cab is also bulletproof from the back and because you can shoot backwards, you can just face your rear toward opponents and they literally can’t do anything but try to maneuver around you!

I love how the way he decides about how good a vehicle’s defence is to compare it to how it protects against the mark II 😂

5:18 this dude was merging left then just crashed into you.

Nightshark window armor just like every other window armor plating (besides bulletproof windows) doesn't work. Another thing about the Nightshark is that its sticky bomb throwing range is stupidly far.

If you have your mines on the insurgent custom then it lands much higher on the list. Insurgent custom dropping mines can easily overcome a dumb broomstick griefer by just luring them to the ground with a tunnel or overpass. Those broomstick boys are never ready for a landmine.

The annihilator stealth now has homing missiles or missile barrage so it’s basically like an alternative Akula

The Nightshark is my fav. A mobile bomb shelter. I enjoy using it to do heist prep in a hostile lobby or to counter griefers. I keep the window armor off so I can chuck bombs out the windowd at anyone who still doesn't F-off after I make it obvious I don't wanna fight.

The Half-track and Avenger are my go-to defensive vehicles. Pretty hilarious killing mk2s with the propellers or prox mines when they follow me into the subway tunnels or under bridges.

When I heard the Skyrim music I instantly subscribed

Great video. You forgot one thing about the kosatka: you can also buy cruise missils for it, making it even more dangerous

Something need to mind of the halftrack is It's not friendly for solo player, for some reason when you operate the gun without driver the whole vehicle blows only with 1 rocket and even with player the gunner isn't explosive proof (Insurgent pickup's gunner is immune to explosive with or without driver)

Regarding the NightShark, I had someone fully armored trying to run me over but with the EMP Launcher, it was a sitting duck and a FMJ round ruins the guy’s day. Also the Avenger, I find it best to cripple it by shooting off the rudders with Explosive Rounds, rendering them unable to turn and forced into hover mode. From there, I just gotta hit the engine and the bird is down.

Skyrims music is always a vibe

Akula can drop bombs too. If you have the tear gas ones you can clear areas of npcs quickly

My defense Vehicle's are - imani tech Vehicle ( missile lock-on disabled ) - jetpack - b11 ( warthog ) That's it

When I first clicked on this video I was like ok good starting off the video with a Star Wars reference always loves those 😂😂😂

The most think I love about the Akula is the excellent maneuver ability, I used to take down oppressors mk2 with it, and it's ability to lose altitude very quickly by flipping it upside down 🙂🙃

This is extremely accurate this guy knows what he’s talking about he either plays the game a lot or did research

ive been talking advantage of the moc recently, 10/10

Something else worth mentioning about the Akula is that the back passengers get access to night vision and thermal cameras.

the armored cars that came with the agency update are some nasty defense cars.... if u have them fully armored and have the disabled lock on, on and Mines....plus guns I'm untouchable in those cars

I just realized your background music is bloons tower defense XD

EXTREAMLY KNOWABLE ...VERY PROFESSIONAL

Bloons tower defense music too 😂

Like the Skyrim background music 👍

The Skyrim theme threw me off for a sec, great video though, most definitely buying a couple of those vehicles

14:20 not hating just giving advice but you should show the affect of the mine for people who don’t really know what it is.. aside from that love the content 🤘🏽

Thanks, now I can make an army against Oppressor Griefers

Late but I think my favorite trolling feature in this game is letting people go into clothing stores and pouring gas on the back of their sports cars. When they shift it'll spark the gas and whenever they crash into anything the whole car goes up on contact. I think it comes from their insurance too.

Instead of the Annihilator, opt for the Stealth Akula! Second fastest heli (which I admire) with very capable handling and good for transport around the map with it’s stealth mode off the radar

Honerable mention to the Chernobog

The mk2 kosatka and sparrow are all tied at #1 in any vehicle category because without them i wouldn’t be able to afford anything new 🤣🤣🤣 iykyk

Nice video, for future reference Barrage in this game aren’t missiles, they’re rockets, rockets are unguided whereas missiles are guided (in this game by heat).

The akula was just on sale but i was too caught up in grinding cayo it slipped my mind to buy it while on sell. I might have to buy it one day when I’m at war in free mode 😂

I liked ur vid cuz of the Skyrim music in the background ❤️

How well does these stand against jets? I’m honestly more worried about getting attacked by Auto canons/ jet machine guns since they are often more “skilled” griefers than the oppressor users. Will you die instantly in vehicles like a nightshark or similar?

You have great videos, I had to sub yesterday. After my second time of stumbling across this channel you def deserve it

very helpful for when i first started, you rock bro

8:00 Noone can resist doing that

Insurgent: 9 rpgs/27 homing missiles Can be equipped with proximity mines and for the mounted gun, you have the choice to get a .50 machine gun or a .50 mini gun. Holds 9 people (4 inside, 1 gunner, 2 on the side, 2 in the bed) I recommend using the body panels upgrades that cover up less. You get less protection, but you are able to throw sticky bombs out, which imo is more beneficial than that added protection. Sadly, the gunner will also have less armor though. To counter this, use the flak cannon (a modification for the anti-aircraft trailer.) I disagree with the avenger on this list. Yes, if the pilot has parked it in a great spot and if the gunners have great accuracy, you probably will die before you can attempt to do anything. What I personally recommend is getting a mk2 and going off radar, and flying up on top of the avenger and just damaging the rotors with a minigun or explosives. Also, if you're sitting in the interior of the avenger and get hit by an orbital cannon strike, you won't die. The annihilator stealth is a pretty bad vehicle. Yes, you can go off radar, but the akula does the same thing, and is better in every possible way. Forget the annihilator stealth, just use the akula. The vigilante can go incredibly fast when you use it's boost, and it's decent at ramming vehicles out of the way. It's missiles are very accurate, often doing 180 degree turns to hit their target. The one major downside is it's armor. It's armor is completely terrible. I disagree that this is a great defensive vehicle, but its way better for offense. The toreador has unlimited missiles, of which are among the most accurate in the game, almost always hitting their target., You can spam them non stop. It has decent armor, but this vehicle isn't near being worthy of being on this list, as its defensive capabilities are pretty terrible. The nightshark should only be used if you don't have another player. If you have another player, just use the insurgent. That's it. Also, don't put armor plating on the nightshark, this way you will be able to use drive by guns. The nightshark loses a lot of its value when you put the window plating on, because that restricts you from shooting out. Side note on the MOC Cab, you can have people sit on the back of it (where the trailer would connect, that part) and they can fire RPGs and other bigger weaponry from their arsenal. The biggest weakness that the MOC cab has, is getting shot out. So, when you're fighting someone on foot (This is the only time where they will be able to effectively counter you with an AR or LMG,) back up towards them, because they won't be able to shoot you, but you can still shoot them. (If you are holding a sticky bomb out, they can shoot it, and that would backfire.) Sorry I was more critical of this video. The options just didn't really fit the list and you could have gone into more depth on each vehicle. Think of what I said as more of something to learn from. I am not trying to take away from the video, but add my own experience.

15:08 is when I finally hear the skyrim music in the background. Tip: Griefers love using the MOC and taking advantage of the reversing and shooting strategy, shoot that scrub with the emp launcher and run up and gun him out.

A lot of people dont know that the MOC cab can fit 5 people. 3 on the back, and driver and a passenger in the actual cab. The people on the back can use pretty much every type of gun as well, including an RPG and machine guns.

There was also the Terrorbyte, the Khanjali, the Kuruma, the Stromberg and even perhaps the Yacht (which might not be technically a vehicle since you can't drive it)... all these could have been on the list or made it into honorable mentions, but overall you're right on spot with your list. I have them all except the Annihilator because I dislike it. Great video with good recommendations.

The Skyrim Music calms my soul.

window playing is useless if other players have fmj rounds. it’s best to use no playing so you can throw stickies to blow up mk2 and jets

I’ve been one shot’ed in the avenger. I don’t know what they used put it wasn’t a rocket. Some kind of explosive bullet. It’s happened to me a few times.

I’ve searched up a video like this and I couldn’t font one besides this little kid who’s filming on his phone and can barely see what he’s filming keep in mind his PlayStation is on Sony Airlines but then I scrolled down and say this extremely high quality video I’m subbing underrated channel

Everyone is talking about the tactics but I'm concerned about the Skyrim background music playing in GTA

Personally would have picked the super yacht over the kosatka for water, as the air defenses are boss

A video I didn’t know I needed til I watched it. Great content!

The tank Kajalolly (I know misspelled) needs to be buffed. It should take as many rockets as the moc cab. Same thing with the avenger and akula. Jets shouldn't be shot down by a flying bike. Jets should have oppressor rockets. Imagine being in a dog fight trying to run from those. That's how it's supposed to be.

You do not have to despawn the oppressor to get more missiles you can just go into your terobite and get more

I know it’s an old video but comments help the algorithm so there. Anyways at 4:00 the one major perk of stealth mode is it will hide you when you’re running packages and doing business stuff.

Cool video and correct pronunciation of “toreador” which is a rare thing on YT 👍

lol i love the skyrim music in the back

Now I suddenly want an Avenger. 👀 Might wait for Thursday though in case of a discount.

I love the skyrim music in the back 🤣

Secunda- skyrim soundtrack. Noice

The avenger is really good but it’s not indestructible. I’ve been blown up in it and I’ve also blew a few up. They’re not agile and the weapons are kinda bad so if you know how to dogfight you can shred the avenger

Thank you bro i would love to see a video with all vehicles which have the best weapons

Love the Skyrim music in the background

Love the Skyrim theme song at the end 😊

The insurgent pick up custom disables weapon wheel with heavy armor, however the medium armor does not disable it

I been entertained by you’re videos lately keep it up

no, my man actually put the annihilator stealth on this list

Man the standard armored car from this game change from being fully bulletproof to fully oppressor mark 2 proof

Wait doesn’t vigilante blows up after 1 missile?

Good video and great music I love playing Skyrim

I have most of these vehicles except the Patriot. Out of the whole list, I typically drive my Nightshark and have my MOC on standby in case I have a persistent griefer. Nowadays I don’t play this game anymore, but it was fun being a stubborn target for MK2 bikes.

I’m pretty late to comment this but I own everything except the agency vehicles and the Annihilator Stealth in this video. I personally think the Annihilator Stealth is just a worse Akula, also the Avenger may be strong but the propellers are so easy to destroy and then you’ll just crash, you’ll live but you’ll be a sitting duck. Apart from that, everything else in this list seems to be pretty damn good and the video itself was great 🔥

Bro I love the Skyrim music

Nightshark, letting u know, in aim assist lobbies, very easy to shoot u out even while swerving, same with even kuruma armored

I love seeing all the armored and weaponized cars

I love seeing people in avengers trying to press people…one sparrow and your gone lol

Just dawned on me that you can duck while driving, which would make you practically out of sight from the front of the Nightshark. Now for the new muscle memory activities to become invincible (no god mode)

just a heads up the terrobyte can lock on to any of the agency vehicles with missile lock-on disabled on them

Insurgent Pickup Custom has been my main vehicle since it was released, and before that it was the vanilla Insurgent. Both great vehicles and handle well.

I’ve done a bunch of tests with the Kosatka and, for me anyway, as soon as I leave the helm of the kosatka it goes back to the surface. It doesn’t stay submerged when not driving it

Terrorbyte,standard insurgent,armored kuruma and the duke of death are pretty good too.

Thanks for the advice but im still going to buy the bombushka

Omfgg i loveee, you put SKYRIM SECUNDA !

Duke of death should be up there when it comes to defending this video is incomplete without it

Can't wait to see you hit 10k bro! 🔥

The Anti-aircraft trailer (20 mm dual cannon) can one shot all of these vehicule especially the avenger and the MOC, its just a fact like that. This is the best weapon after orbital cannon

Tbh the tor is way better than the vigilante. Better missile resistance. Unlimited missiles Better lock on range and accuracy Faster missile fire rate And, the machine guns are the most OP out of any car/truck in the game equipped with machine guns.

One time I was in my Patriot Mil Spec, and someone with an Oppressor manager to hit me and caused me to get stuck on a bollard, so he lands and starts hitting me with RPGs, so I used my MKII Revolver and dome him.

I mean it’s not a vehicle but the best defense is the yacht make the griefer mad and go have the air defense do the work lmao

the fact that every vehicle here is all about defending yourself from the MKII says something. Rockstar what the fuck.
