GTA Online's San Andreas Mercenaries update has a new wave of GTA+ benefits, one of which includes a free Maibatsu MonstroCiti. This new Off-Road car is the first one in its class to have HSW performance upgrades available. Anybody seeking the new best-in-class must purchase it for $1,485,000 or get it at $0 if they're a GTA+ member.

As of this writing, no mission or other content can give away the Maibatsu MonstroCiti for free. If players want to get this new vehicle at no cost, they must become a GTA+ member. Gamers wanting the HSW upgrade must pay $1,109,000 to get that feature.

Note: The Maibatsu MonstroCiti is "free" in the sense that you pay zero GTA$ to get it.

Only PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players can sign up for GTA+. That means PC, PS4, and Xbox One gamers cannot get this new car for free. This subscription costs $5.99 monthly and auto-renews until you cancel it.

Once you get GTA+, head to Southern San Andreas Super Autos's in-game website and purchase it for $0. Alternatively, you can check it out at The Vinewood Car Club in GTA Online San Andreas Mercenaries.

The HSW and Imani Tech upgrades are still available to players, even if they don't get this car for free.


Notes on the Maibatsu MonstroCiti

Here is what's currently known about this new vehicle introduced in GTA Online's San Andreas Mercenaries update:

  • Vehicle Class: Off-Road
  • Unique upgrades: HSW, Imani Tech
  • Vehicle Capacity: Two
  • Legal for races?: Yes

Before the Maibatsu MonstroCiti, only the Weaponized Ignus could simultaneously have HSW and Imani Tech upgrades. Although in that case, the latter vehicle could only have a Missile Lock-On Jammer and not a Remote Control Unit.

By comparison, the new vehicle you can get for free can have either Imani Tech modification installed, which is a first for HSW cars in GTA Online. An HSW upgrade also ensures that the Maibatsu MonstroCiti will be the fastest Off-Road car in the game as of the San Andreas Mercenaries update.
