Weaponized vehicles are how freemode is really won. Whether you’re defending a sell mission, clearing a hostile lobby or just getting somewhere alive, the right armed vehicle changes everything — and the wrong, overpriced one drains your bank for nothing. Here’s what’s worth owning, ranked by what they actually do for you. Compare prices and stats in the vehicle database.
The best all-rounders
The most powerful — and most controversial — vehicle in the game. It flies, hovers and boosts anywhere with lock-on homing missiles. Unmatched for travel, sourcing and self-defense; also the tool every griefer abuses. Expensive, but it does more than anything else you can buy.
The smart-money pick. Armored, amphibious, missile-armed and boosted — most of a Deluxo’s tricks plus genuine durability, often on discount. If you buy one weaponized car, buy this.
The flying DeLorean. Homing missiles and the ability to glide over any terrain make it a beginner-friendly alternative to the Oppressor — easier to fly, harder to flip, and a lot of fun.
Best in the air
The cheapest, most convenient attack helicopter in the game — spawns almost anywhere, carries miniguns and missiles, and gets you across the map in seconds. The single most useful armed vehicle for everyday grinding.
A VTOL fighter jet with missiles and countermeasures. It can hover, take off vertically and dominate the skies — the answer when someone else brings a jet to the lobby.
The fast, fragile fliers versus the cheap, summonable workhorse:
| Vehicle | Class | Top speed | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buzzard Attack Chopper | Helicopters | 145 mph | $1,750,000 |
| Hydra | Planes | 209.25 mph | $3,990,000 |
| P-996 Lazer | Planes | 195 mph | $6,500,000 |
| Savage | Helicopters | 144.5 mph | $1,750,000 |
| Akula | Helicopters | 157.25 mph | $3,704,050 |
Best on the ground
The Batmobile. A rocket-boosted missile car that’s the fastest land vehicle in the game by a mile. More toy than tool, but an absurdly fun way to travel and fight.
Heavy armor and a mounted minigun — the durable, grounded counterpart to the fragile fliers. Ideal for defending sell missions and surviving anything short of orbital cannon fire.
A note on griefing
Several of these — the Oppressor Mk II especially — are as famous for ruining lobbies as for utility. If you’re on the receiving end, your best on-foot counters are an explosive Heavy Sniper Mk II, a Homing Launcher, and the Up-n-Atomizer to swat riders out of the air.
