Fun customizations and four other reasons to own a BF Weevil in GTA Online in 2024

1) Stands out from the crowd

Most cars in GTA Online (and even those in other Grand Theft Auto games) are based on one or the other real-life vehicle. In the case of BF Weevil, its inspiration seems to be the classic Volkswagen Beetle.

This game's vehicular catalog is dominated by modern sports and supercars. In fact, a few more will be added to those categories with the GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties Update. In such an environment, Weevil's vintage design makes it stand out from the crowd.

2) Can be upgraded at Benny's

Those who own a BF Weevil can upgrade it to Weevil Custom at Benny's Original Motor Works in Los Santos. This will cost quite a bit of cash, $980,000, to be precise. The hefty investment can be supported by selling Salvage Yard Robbery vehicles and is absolutely worth it since the custom variant performs significantly better than the standard vehicle.

For example, according to popular GTA Online YouTube, Broughy1322, the Weevil Custom can hit a top speed of 137.50 mph as opposed to Weevil's 102.25 mph post full upgradation. Since there is no other way to obtain the custom variant, you must own a standard Weevil.

3) Fun customizations

Rockstar Games offers some really unique customization options for the standard BF Weevil. These include headlight covers, removable bumpers as well as fenders, many diverse liveries, an adventure kit hood accessory, with several surfboards and luggage options to choose from for decorating the vehicle's roof.

In a nutshell, there is a lot of freedom for players regarding how they want their Weevil to look. It will, needless to say, cost additional money that GTA Online weekly update bonuses can help afford.

4) Can be obtained for free

The BF Weevil is rewarded for free to those who beat The Cayo Perico Heist as leader and then complete all three Keinemusik DJ Requests from English Dave. The process is simple but extremely time-consuming since the gap between each Keinemusik DJ Request is around eight real-life hours.

That being said, another way to get a Weevil for free is by winning it as the GTA Online Podium Vehicle. However, this method is based on luck and can take multiple tries. Readers should also remember that the latter offer is only available through June 24, 2024.

5) Can also be bought at a decent price

If you want to own the BF Weevil as soon as possible without having to do any missions, then you can purchase it from Southern San Andreas Super Autos. The vehicle costs $870,000; which is pretty affordable from the context of this game.

The money saved can be invested in the upcoming GTA Online Bottom Dollar Bounties Update cars. Additionally, one can purchase the BF Weevil for $652,500 after unlocking its Trade Price.
