Among the plethora of vehicles in GTA Online, most players prefer the armored selections. This is mainly due to the sheer number of griefers and campers riding the Oppressor or using overpowered weapons to incite chaos. While regular cars cannot handle a lot of explosives, armored ones offer good protection in these conditions.
While veteran players already own some armored vehicles in the game, newbies often struggle to pick a good option. This is a common issue, and hence, this article will list five of the best vehicles in this category.
