Top 5 best armored vehicles featured in GTA Online

5) The Barrage

The Barrage is an off-road buggy inspired by the HDT Storm SRTV (Search and Rescue Tactical Vehicle) and the HDT Sword ITV (Internationally Transportable Vehicle).

The Barrage comes equipped with two gunners: one on the front and one on the back. The gunner on the back can also be switched for a grenade launcher.

The only downside to this off-road buggy is that the driver will have no bullet protection at all.

Recorded at a top speed of 108.75 mph, the Barrage is quite fast for such a bulky vehicle. It features quick acceleration and smooth handling.

4) The Insurgent Pick-Up Custom

The Insurgent Pick-Up Custom is essentially an upgraded variant of the Insurgent. The major difference between the two is the tow-hitch the Pick-Up Custom comes equipped with.

Upon customization, players can add an extra layer of protection to the machine gun and have bulletproof windows installed into the vehicle.

To purchase the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom in GTA Online, players will first need to buy the Insurgent Pick-Up and upgrade it to the custom variant in mobile operations or Avenger. The customization costs $2,000 in GTA Online.

Recorded at a top speed of 114.25 mph, the Duke O'Death is exceptionally fast for an armored vehicle.

Recorded at a top speed of 104.75, the Night Shark isn't too slow for an armored vehicle.It can be purchased from Warstock Cache and Carry for $1,245,000.

1) The Armored Kuruma

On the very top is the king of all armored vehicles in GTA Online, the epitome of style and destruction, the Armored Kuruma. The Armored Kuruma is based on Kuruma. The latter comes equipped with bullet-resistant windows and panels.
