In GTA Online, you always need to be aware of what danger might come. A properly armored vehicle can handle most of the danger and is vital in self-defense. That’s why to help you out here are 5 of the best defensive vehicles in the game!
5 . Imponte Ruiner 2000
The Imponte Ruiner 2000 is based on the Pontiac TransAm from the Knight Rider tv series. Visually it is a treat to look at with its curvaceous design. Again, it definitely packs a punch as it is armed with machine guns and homing missiles. It’s also equipped with a parachute specifically for moments when you’re feeling too high, pun intended. With a V8 engine present, it performs better than most in its class as well.
What makes it great for Defense:
- Armed with two machine guns up front, controlled by the driver
- Equipped with missile launchers that have great damage
- Parachute for slowing down while falling
- Power-hop mechanism to avoid damage

4 . Bravado Half-track
The Bravado Halftrack has a turret with two machine guns that has a 360-degree view. This turret can be switched out for a turret with four autocannons. It can withstand gunfire and explosions very easily. The turret shields and bed walls keep the gunner safe from the front, allowing them to engage enemies without fear of being shot. Using an AA trailer, you can also attach a machine gun and a SAM battery to the turret. Other than that it has great top speed and acceleration as well as mobility.
What makes it great for Defense:
- Two machine guns with a 360-degree view
- Machineguns can be swapped for four autocannons
- Can withstand gunfire and explosion very easily
- Turret shields and bed walls keep gunners safe
- The machine gun and SAM battery can be attached via an AA trailer

3 . HVY Nightshark
The Nightshark is an armored SUV with a stocky appearance and great armor. It has four machine guns at the front of the vehicle for defense. The machine guns are visible when the small hatches are opened. It can endure four rockets from a Rocket Launcher before being destroyed. When fully upgraded with a player inside, it can also take up to 27 homing missiles. A machine gun and SAM battery can also be attached to it via an AA trailer.
What makes it great for Defense:
- Four machine guns at the front
- Can take four rockets in its base design
- Can take up to 27 rockets when fully upgraded
- The machine gun and SAM battery can be attached via an AA trailer

2 . HVY Insurgent Pick-Up Custom
Another excellent defensive vehicle is the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom. For low-flying aircraft and targets within a few feet of the vehicle, a 360-degree machine gun turret at the top of the vehicle is an excellent choice. The vehicle can withstand up to 27 homing missiles, 7 sticky bombs, 14 RPGs, or similar amounts of intense gunfire when the Armor option is set to 100%. The windows and the gunner's position can be protected with additional Armor Plating. While the acceleration is decent, it has a good top speed and handling.
What makes it great for Defense:
- 360-degree machine gun at the top
- Can withstand up to 27 homing missiles or equivalent damage
- Additional armor plating can be added
- Good for defense in all kinds of situations

1 . Mobile Operations Center (Fully Upgraded)
Finally, we have the big bad Mobile Operations Center. However, despite its size, the armor is capable of fending off a wide range of attacks. As an example, it can withstand up to 25 RPG rockets or equivalent damage at once. The trailer's front and rear cannons fire powerful rounds capable of destroying unarmored cars and low-flying aircraft in a single shot. The fire rate is generally low, with each round taking one second to fire. It’s not more of a vehicle used for attacking per se, but in terms of a defensive one, it is the best. Enemies probably won’t even have enough ammo to destroy it.
What makes it great for Defense:
- Armor can withstand almost any attacks
- Can withstand up to 25 RPG rockets or equivalent
- Front and rear cannons capable of destroying cars and low-flying aircraft
- Best defensive vehicle
