The Up-n-Atomizer in GTA Online is a bizarre alien weapon that looks like it came right out of science fiction pulp magazines of the 50s. This raygun is incredibly useful as a single hit from the weapon can push away players and vehicles alike with a ridiculous force. However, Rockstar removed this weapon from the Ammu-Nation and Agency Armory, so it can't just be purchased up front.
The only way to get the Up-n-Atomizer as of 2024 is through the Gun Van, but only if the weapon is in stock, which can be rare. Every weekly update resets the van's stock, and there's a chance that this exclusive weapon may be part of the purchasable arsenal.
Thankfully, this alien blaster is currently available at the mobile weapons store. So, here's how you can grab the Up-n-Atomizer in GTA Online right now.
How to buy the Up-n-Atomizer in GTA Online
If the Up-n-Atomizer is added to the Gun Van's stock, you can simply buy it from this portable weapons store. The latest GTA Online weekly update (July 25 - 31, 2024) has added it back, so if you want to add this alien raygun to your arsenal, go buy it from the Gun Van before the week ends.
You just need to head to where the Gun Van seller is located right now, and buy the Up-n-Atomizer in GTA Online. The weapon usually costs $399,000, but there's a 30% discount right now that brings its price down to just $279,300.
How to find the Gun Van in GTA Online
Finding the Gun Van can be difficult as it keeps changing its location on a daily basis. On top of this, the game doesn't show you its location unless you're a subscriber of GTA+. As such you need to check out the daily location of this unique gun store.

Why the Up-n-Atomizer is an excellent gun in GTA Online
Most weapons in this game are known to cause bodily harm to another person or vehicle. The Up-n-Atomizer in GTA Online is different in that it's not something a player would typically use to eliminate somebody. Instead, its excellence lies in its utility, which no other gun can provide.
Basically, you can shoot it to forcefully move a vehicle a few inches. That might seem simple, yet it's a godsend in case the car, plane, etc., you need is stuck and you want to move it somewhere to make it functional again.
No other weapon can do something similar except explosives (which would likely destroy the vehicle you're trying to move, whereas this gun does negligible damage).
Ergo, this handy little alien gun is a must-have for grinders since it will see periodic use whenever an important vehicle gets stuck. It doesn't use ammunition, either. Instead, you must wait a short cooldown period before using this weapon again.
Gamers more interested in PvP won't find much value in this gun, especially since most other weapons available in this game are significantly more deadly.
