The Rhino Tank in GTA 5 is one of the most powerful vehicles you can use to cause destruction, survive longer, and easily reach a five-star wanted level. But if you’re new to the game, finding a tank isn’t simple unless you know exactly where to look.
In this guide, we’ll share two simple ways to get a tank stealing one from the military or buying one using the in-game internet. We’ll also give you a few extra tips to stay alive while getting it.
Easiest Way: Buying a Tank in GTA 5
If you don’t want the trouble of fighting the military, buying the Rhino Tank is the simplest way.
- Open your in-game phone.
- On PS3/PS4: Press the top arrow on the D-pad.
- On Xbox 360/One: Press the top arrow on the D-pad.
- On PC: Press the up arrow key or middle mouse button.
- Go to the Internet browser.
- The browser icon looks like a globe at the bottom row of apps.
- Select the “Travel and Transport” tab.
- It’s the fourth tab under the search bar.
- Go to the Warstock Cache & Carry website.
- Scroll down and look for the Rhino Tank.
- Price: $3,000,000 in story mode or $1,500,000 in GTA Online.
- Find your tank at Los Santos International Airport.
- In story mode, it will be in the hangar of the character who purchased it.
- In online mode, it will appear in your purchased hangar after a short wait.
Alternative Method: Stealing a Tank from Fort Zancudo
If you don’t want to spend millions, you can steal a tank from the military base – but it’s risky.
Step 1: Locate Fort Zancudo
- The base is on the west side of the map near the Zancudo River, just off Route 68.
- Tip: Before entering, buy armor and stock up on ammo. Use a fast car to survive longer.
Step 2: Enter the Base
- Drive in quickly, avoiding heavy fire. Once inside, keep moving.
Step 3: Find a Tank
- Drive around the base until you spot a Rhino Tank.
Step 4: Hijack the Tank
- Drive up close and hijack it fast before the gunner fires at you.
- Use buildings and walls as cover while approaching.
Step 5: Escape the Base
- Once inside the tank, leave immediately using the same route you entered.
Extra Tips to Make It Easier
- Use a fast sports car to get in and out quickly.
- Go in with Franklin (in story mode) – his special driving ability helps avoid damage.
- Use Invincibility or Lower Wanted Level cheats (if you just want fun without the grind).
Conclusion
The Rhino Tank is one of the best vehicles in GTA 5 for chaos and heavy combat. Whether you buy it online or steal it from Fort Zancudo, it’s worth having in your garage. If you want an easier, safer option, buying is the way to go. But if you like a challenge (and want to save money), stealing one can be exciting.
