In GTA Online, there are many different types of vehicles available for players. Whether one wants to race with a supercar or climb a mountain with an odd-roader, there’s something for everyone. However, there’s one category of rides that shouldn’t be overlooked – the military vehicles.
It is a type of automobile that the military uses for land-based transport and activity. These special rides are often packed with powerful weaponry or armor, making them much more usable in the open world of Los Santos.
This article shares five of the best military vehicles to buy in GTA Online in 2025.

APC, and three other best military vehicles in GTA Online after the Agents of Sabotage update
Most of the military vehicles mentioned in the article can be purchased from the Warstock Cache & Carry website in GTA Online:
1) HVY APC
Price: $3,092,250
The HVY is a four-seater infantry fighting vehicle that made its return to GTA Online after debuting in The Ballad of Gay Tony. The vehicle is essentially a Russian BRDM-2, equipped with a powerful turret that can cause chaos and destruction in a few seconds. The outer body of the vehicle is also quite strong, allowing it to withstand most of the gunfire.
In terms of performance, the HVY can reach a top speed of 63.00 mph (101.39 km/h) and complete one lap in 1:30.325. For anyone seeking a mobile destruction unit on wheels, the HVY is the perfect choice.

2) HVY Insurgent Pick-Up Custom
Price: $202,500
The HVY Insurgent Pick-Up Custom is an off-road military vehicle in GTA Online. It is seemingly inspired by the real-life Terradyne Armored Vehicles like RPV. What makes this stand out from others is its ability to carry nine players together, making it the best thing to own if you love to hang out with your friends in Los Santos.
When it comes to weaponry, a Machine Gun and a Mingun can be used with the vehicle, both of them equally powerful to annihilate the targets. It can also withstand up to 26 Homing Missiles after upgrading its armor to 100%, giving it enough defensive power to survive the chaotic landscape of some online lobbies.
Unlike other military vehicles, this can only be obtained by converting the standard Insurgent Pick-Up via a Mobile Operations Center or an Avenger.

3) HVY Barrage
Price: $1,245,000
The HVY Barrage is a four-seater weaponized ATV that debuted in 2017 as part of the popular The Doomsday Heist DLC. It resembles the real-life HDT Storm SRTV, giving it a small and lightweight design.
As expected, the HVY Barrage comes with weapons for players to take advantage of. However, apart from giving standard options to turrets like Minigun, there’s also an option to equip a 40mm Grenade Launcher. Its auto-aiming capability makes it one of the best and deadliest vehicles to own in the ever-growing world of GTA Online.

4) TM-02 Khanjali Tank
Price: $3,850,350
No military vehicle list can be truly completed without mentioning a tank, and the TM-02 Khanjali is one such tank in GTA Online that shouldn’t go unnoticed. It is an infantry fighting vehicle seemingly based on the real-life Polish PL-01 light tank.
Despite being slow like the Rhino tank, it has amazing armor capabilities. After upgrading the armor to 100%, the tank can withstand up to 16 Railgun rounds, 19 explosive rounds (Heavy Sniper Mk II), seven RPGs, or six Terrorbyte Missiles.
Moreover, there are different weapon options that players can use, including a Tank Cannon, a Railgun Cannon, a Machine Gun, and a Grenade Launcher. This makes it one of the best military vehicles that players can still buy in 2025.

5) HVY Chernobog
Price: $1,500,000
Lastly, there’s the HVY Chernobog, a military artillery truck that has been a part of the game since The Doomsday Heist DLC. Seemingly inspired by the real-life MAZ-7310/543M artillery truck, it has a robust design.
The best part about owning a Chernobog is its big Missiles. A player can fire up to five rockets in a quick burst, each with a lock-on range of 1000 meters as per the in-game files. It can also tow an Anti-Aircraft Trailer, making it the ultimate vehicle to own if you love to eliminate targets with missiles and turrets.
