5 best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online after The Last Dose update, ranked

The best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online are plenty, yet some options are much better than others. New players who don't know where to start may appreciate this listicle highlighting the most notable motorcycles, cars, etc., that can easily destroy other players in a lobby. Everything listed here is updated after The Last Dose update, as Rockstar Games added a brand new jet after it worth mentioning here.

The best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online tend to excel in one or more niches. They don't all have to be top-tier for offensive capabilities, but these options should be excellent in some relevant role.

Note: Some aspects of this article are subjective.

Oppressor Mk II, Toreador, and three others are among the best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online (post-The Last Dose update)

5) Oppressor Mk II

Its missiles aren't as strong as they used to be, thanks to The Criminal Enterprises update. Nonetheless, this flying motorcycle is one of the best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online for its ease of use alongside its top-tier mobility. It's a flying bike that is significantly more accessible to the average player than most aircraft.

Thus, even lesser-skilled gamers can get from one destination to another effortlessly with the Oppressor Mk II. Its weapons are also good enough for general PvE content, meaning it could be used in some Freemode missions.

4) Toreador

Its mobility might not be as good as the Oppressor Mk II, yet the Toreador has the following advantages:

• More armor
• Infinite missiles
• The ability to go underwater

Ergo, the Toreador is one of the best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online for general PvP content. It's all-around deadly while also having a nice booster to make the Toreador incredibly fast for a Sports Classic car in the game. There also aren't many better underwater alternatives, making the Toreador very unique in its niche.

3) Buffalo STX

Imani Tech is a huge boon (image via Rockstar Games)

The Buffalo STX's machine guns set a standard for best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online, yet its most enticing aspects include its good top speed, armor, and Imani Tech modifications. It takes 12 homing missiles to destroy the Buffalo STX, which is very good. Best of all, Imani Tech modifications include a Missile Lock-On Jammer.

That means players can't even target the Buffalo STX with a homing missile. Combining that attribute with good defensive qualities equals a very solid vehicle for general Freemode activities, especially in a lobby with noobs who rely on homing explosives.

2) P-996 LAZER

One of the best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online is technically available for free at Fort Zancudo. When players think of the best fighter planes in the game, the P-996 LAZER is often one of the first things that pop into their minds. Ground-based enthusiasts have little hope of fighting a skilled pilot in the P-996 LAZER, and most other aircraft don't have a great matchup against this plane.

It's often compared to the Hydra. Both planes are terrific to use in GTA Online, yet the P-996 LAZER can be a little bit more deadly in the hands of an experienced pilot.

1) Mammoth F-160 Raiju

Fans of dogfights have several good options in the game. The Pyro, P-996 LAZER, and Hydra are all great, yet the Mammoth F-160 Raiju is in a league of its own in the hands of a skilled player. It is equipped with two built-in machine guns (explosive rounds) and missile launchers, yet the best part about owning this VTOL attack jet is its Stealth mode.

Players can easily roam around Los Santos in Stealth mode without the fear of getting noticed on other players' radars and attacking them with the weaponry. F-160 Raiju is also the fastest plane in Grand Theft Auto Online, with the ability to go up to a top speed of 232.50 mph (374.17 km/h).

All of this makes it one of the best weaponized vehicles in GTA Online in 2024.
