While the HVY APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) Tank is one of the best-armored cars in GTA Online, Redditor u/PurpleRad also cited it as one of the best-weaponized vehicles in the game. It is a compact tank that can withstand up to eight homing missiles. Rockstar Games also provided it with a top-mounted turret that can fire explosive missiles.

The APC is great for city-based combats. Its compact design allows you to sneak through narrow paths easily.

There is no doubt that the Sparrow is one of the best and fastest helicopters in GTA Online, and after its recent buff with the Grand Theft Auto Online: Bottom Dollar Bounties DLC update, the aircraft has become more powerful. The Sparrow can be equipped with miniguns and missiles.

The homing missiles are undoubtedly the most used weapons as they have aggressive tracking and high damage.
