Insurgent

"Ironically named light armored personnel vehicle. Perfect for crushing small rebellions in a dictatorship or wiping out peaceful protests in an alleged democracy."

- Warstock Cache & Carry description.

The HVY Insurgent is a Light Armored Personnel Vehicle (LAPV) featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Heists Update.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Insurgent is a SUV-like Light Armored Personnel Vehicle (LAPV) that is inspired by the and  line of tactical armored vehicles, with some influences from the  for the grille layout. The front and sides are very likely to have been influenced by the Alpine Armoring Pitbull VX, while the general shape of the greenhouse area seems to take influence from the. The vehicle also draws loose inspiration from the, given the raised suspension, semi-squared door windows and a similar tail lights setup.

The Insurgent is a large and bulky vehicle evidently purposed as a military vehicle, whose front end features a reinforced bumper and dual grilles with multiple vent holes facing downwards, intended to protect the radiator while providing the necessary air flow. Its hood is completely sealed for total protection to the engine, featuring a large vent and metal plates around it.

The sides are distinguished by the bulky fenders and the armored details on the doors, with an extra set of windows for the rear compartment and the side steps and roof rails. The single windshield also features a bolted-on detail. A hatch can be seen on the roof, though it is unusable.

The rear end is basically composed of the dual set of square tail lights, a reinforced bumper and a large unopenable door. The rear compartment is detailed with a floor plate and two benches. The underside feature sump guards just near the axles, along with large, armored wheels with rugged, high-profile tires.

The vehicle's primary color is applied onto the bodywork and the sump guards, while the secondary color is applied onto the parts holding the winch, front towing hooks, hood vent and bars, side roof rails, roof hatch hinges, fenders, rear towing hooks and the bolt details on the rear bumper. The stock wheels are also painted with a separated color, though this is only seen when purchased and will revert back to the default alloy color when changed.

Grand Theft Auto Online
In terms of overall performance, the acceleration is somewhat lacking due to its heavy weight, but it has an acceptable top speed. The Insurgent's immense weight helps to keep it grounded when cornering, and contributes to it having good handling for a vehicle of its stature. It has a decent cornering radius and understeer is relatively minor. The Insurgent is abnormally sensitive in the air, and may be prone to crash landings if the user is not careful. However, it is able to quickly recover from rolling over. Though the engine model or bay cannot be seen, the sound is similar to that of the Landstalker's, but slightly smoother, coupled to a 6-speed gearbox in a front engine, all-wheel drive layout.
 * Vehicle

The Insurgent's sheer weight means that it is a formidable vehicle towards other players. The Insurgent can cripple or even disable many other road vehicles if given a direct hit at full speed, and will usually run over lighter cars, deforming them and often breaking wheels or axles. It also seems to have a degree of top-heaviness that is evident while airborne, however it makes up for it by being able to recover abnormally fast from a rollover, relative to its class. It can also ram parked vehicles and continue to drive without any noticeable damage, and it will only show body deformation after a large number of collisions.

The Insurgent is distinctive by its armored body, which is able to withstand more damage than the average car, even able to withstand direct impacts from explosive weapons, comparable to a Rhino Tank. However, the Insurgent has large windshields and windows, making their occupants vulnerable to gunfire from the front, and despite the fact that there is a barrier between the rear seats and the covered compartment, players can still be shot through it.
 * Armor

The Insurgent can take the following:
 * 6-7 Sticky Bombs.
 * 3 Tank shells from a Rhino Tank cannon (a 4th one will destroy it).
 * 5 vehicle-based rockets.
 * 4-5 direct Rocket Launcher shots.
 * 40-45 seconds of constant Minigun fire, aimed directly at the engine.

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * The Insurgent appears twice in The Humane Labs Raid, during setup missions Insurgents and Deliver EMP where it is driven by a player as part of the mission objectives.
 * Other Insurgents can be found in the Humane Labs premises during Humane Raid - Deliver EMP; however, they cannot be accessed or obtained.
 * An Insurgent appears as a Resupply vehicle for the player's Bunker.
 * May be provided as the delivery vehicles in a Sell Weapons mission.
 * A few Insurgents are used by Bogdan's Crew during Setup: Salvage Hard Drives.
 * Used by attacking enemies in the Forest Survival and the Quarry Survival.

Notable Owners

 * Merryweather Security

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * The Insurgent can be purchased on Warstock Cache & Carry for $675,000 after completing The Humane Labs Raid.
 * After the Cunning Stunts: Special Vehicle Circuit update, the vehicle is now available to players who have not completed the heist at the "full" cost of $897,750.

Trivia

 * The Insurgent and Insurgent Pick-Up's textures are named "dillo", likely short for Armadillo. This is likely the vehicle's beta name.
 * Neither variant of the Insurgent has an engine model due to the bonnet/hood being impossible to open or remove. This is also the case for the Zentorno.
 * It should be noted that when the player is driving in a GTA Online free-roam lobby, the player will appear as a "turreted vehicle" blip on the radar which is visually similar to the Insurgent itself, regardless of which variant they are driving. This is intended to warn nearby players of the Insurgent's presence as a 'dangerous vehicle', as the Insurgent's durability, speed and sheer weight make it difficult to destroy.
 * This would be also an oversight, as, despite not having any sort of weapon, handling files suggests it has the same item as its armed counterpart.
 * Strangely, despite being a lot lighter than the Rhino Tank in the handling files, the Cargobob can barely even lift the Insurgent off the ground, unlike the Rhino Tank. This puts its weight in excess of 60 tons.
 * When the Heists Update was first released, the Insurgent, when purchased, would have maxed (100%) armor (with there not even being an "armor" customization tab at mod shops), bulletproof tires already installed, and players within it could not be shot out from the rear. However, the 100% armor and bulletproof rear panel features were removed in later updates, though it still has bulletproof tires by default.
 * Upon release of the Heists Update, the Insurgent had a minor handling issue where the front wheels received 4% of the power from the engine. This issue was also present on the armed variant.
 * This was fixed in the Ill-Gotten Gains Part 1 update, so the Insurgent's front wheels receive 40% of the power instead.
 * Originally, the rear door could be opened via the Interaction Menu, where it can be selected as the "Trunk". This was removed after the Festive Surprise 2015 update, rendering it unopenable.
 * The Insurgent seems to have a missing exhaust system as fumes can be seen coming out from one of the bottom side body panels. This is the same case with the Albany Roosevelt.
 * The Insurgent has no default radio station. The radio will be switched off when the player enters the vehicle.
