The Stun Gun in GTA 5 Online is one of the most unique weapons ever introduced in the series. First debuted in Chinatown Wars, the gun has been quite popular in Grand Theft Auto Online since The Contract update of 2021. It is capable of shocking targets with thousands of electricity volts, neutralizing them on the ground.

This makes the GTA Online Stun Gun a must-own thing for Bottom Dollar Enforcement Office owners as it helps in completing Bounties Missions with ease. It is also helpful to take a silent approach during certain heists in the game. Despite being one of the least lethal weapons, players often need it as part of their arsenal to survive in the chaotic world of Los Santos.

However, the game doesn't tell you where to buy Stun Gun in GTA 5 Online, leaving many wondering if it's even possible in 2024. To answer it straight-forwardly, yes, it can still be purchased and this article explains how to get it.

The Stun Gun in GTA 5 Online cannot be purchased from any of the available Ammu-Nation stores in the game. Instead, you'll first need to get an Agency from the Dynasty 8 Executive website, accessible using the in-game phone or laptop. Unfortunately, none of the Agency locations in Grand Theft Auto Online come cheap:

  • Hawick: $2,830,000
  • Rockford Hills: $2,415,000
  • Vespucci Canals: $2,145,000
  • Little Seoul: $2,010,000

These are the base prices for the Agencies, and you must also purchase the Armory add-on to get a private Ammu-Nation. The Armory will cost an additional $720,000. Once purchased, you must head to your private Armory to get a Stun Gun in GTA 5 Online.

Alternatively, the weapon can also be found occasionally on sale with the Gun Van seller, making it the cheapest way to buy it.

The Stun Gun will cost $375,000-$356,250 in the Agency Armory, but will always be on discount at the Gun Van whenever available. There are no modifications or add-ons for the Stun Gun, with the only customization option being the paint job (there are eight different tints for the Stun Gun).

The Stun Gun has a range of around 10m to 11m, so it's a close-combat gun. It cannot be used to fire rapid shots since it has to recharge for 12 seconds between each taser shot. The Stun Gun can only be used in sneaky approach jobs where players sneak behind targets to incapacitate them.


How to get a Taser in GTA 5 Online in 2024?

The Taser and Stun Gun are the same weapon in Grand Theft Auto Online, so the way to obtain them is the same as explained above. The Compact EMP Launcher is another similar weapon to the Stun Gun in GTA 5 Online that can also be purchased from the Armory in the Agency and costs $525,000. The launcher shoots EMP grenades, which disable the engines of most vehicles for about five seconds without damaging them. Two grenades for the launcher cost $95.

The fire rate of the Compact EMP Launcher isn't impressive, so apart from disabling the engines of vehicles for a few seconds, the gun isn't of much use at all. However, it can be used to stop cars or armored vehicles for a short time.

Most vehicles (e.g., the Deluxo) can still fire rockets even if their engines are disabled for a few seconds. All of these negative points and the cost being higher than the Stun Gun make the Compact EMP Launcher difficult to recommend. Since both guns require an Agency, they are rather expensive when you look at the overall costs.
