The world of GTA Online is full of opportunities to make money. However, a lot of activities involve players driving around while getting shot at. Therefore, a heavily armored vehicle is essential.
In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the top 5 best armored cars in GTA Online 2022.
1. Nightshark
The HVY Nightshark is an armored four-door SUV featured in GTA Online as part of the Gunrunning update. It is an armored SUV with a large and bulky design that can withstand up to four rockets from a Rocket Launcher (explodes after the fifth one). Its anti-missile capability is even higher - the Nightshark can tank up to 27 homing missiles when fully upgraded with a player inside.
Performance-wise, the Nightshark has great acceleration and good top speed, as well as great handling. The vehicle is also equipped with four retractable machine guns. Its only downside is that the windows are not bulletproof, meaning that players are vulnerable to gunfire.
2. Patriot Mil-Spec
The Mammoth Patriot Mil-Spec is a four-door offroad SUV added to GTA Online as part of The Contract update. It resembles the Hummer H1.
Defense-wise, the Patriot Mil-Spec has great resistance against explosions and bullets. Even its windows are bullet-resistant, which allows them to withstand 15 rounds from most firearms.
The best part about this vehicle is that it can be fitted with the Missile Lock-on Jammer, which prevents the lock-on system of the Homing Launcher and other weaponized vehicles from targeting it. Players can also replace this with a remote control system that lets players turn the Patriot Mil-Spec into an RC car.
3. Insurgent Pick-up Custom
The HVY Insurgent Pick-Up Custom is a custom Light Armored Personnel Vehicle (LAPV) in GTA Online as part of the Gunrunning update.
Overall, the car provides excellent protection when maxed, with the ability to tank up to 27 homing missiles and 14 RPGs (if occupied by a driver). While its armor can withstand extensive gunfire, its windows are not bulletproof. This means players driving inside can get easily damaged.
4. Armored Kuruma
The Karin Kuruma (Armored) made its debut in GTA Online as part of the Heists Update. It has good defense against normal gunfire, with armor and bulletproof glass that can tank even Heavy Sniper MKII shots.
However, the car is rather weak to explosions. A well-placed rocket launcher or homing missile can ruin it easily. Still, its low price and bullet protection are enough to elevate its popularity amongst GTA players, both new and veteran.
5. Duke O' Death
The Imponte Duke O'Death is a two-door armored muscle car in GTA Online. It was originally an exclusive vehicle for players who played the original versions of GTA V.
With the 100% Armor upgrade at Los Santos Customs, the Duke O' Death can withstand a sticky bomb or severe gunfire from small and medium arms. Explosion-wise, the car can tank up to 3 rockets and 4 homing missiles if there is a driver inside.
