Armored Trucks

Online Armored Truck robberies are a feature in Grand Theft Auto Online Free Mode unlocked after acheiving rank 19.



Overview
Lester will call the player to explain that Armored Trucks are good targets for the player to make cash but to watch out as the LSPD don't take kindly to that sort of thing. Armored trucks will then appear randomly in Free Mode sessions along with Kill Targets, Crate Drops and Simeon High Priority Vehicles.

Armored trucks wil spawn in random locations on the map with a specific icon on the radar, normally within a block of a player. All players in the lobby will be alerted with a message Armored Trucks are shown on the Radar by [icon]''. They carry cash which can be stolen. ''

The player needs to open the back of the truck to gain access to the cash. This can be done by either:

Any attack on an Armored Truck including vehicle impact or a single bullet will result in the Gruppe Sechs driver attempting to escape by driving off at speed and an immediate 3 star wanted level being applied to the attacking player. All players in the lobby will get a message that [Playername] has attacked an Armored Truck
 * 1) using a sticky bomb thrown/planted on the back of the truck towards the middle of the doors
 * 2) Shotgunning the doors while the truck is stationary.

Blowing the doors open with C4 while the van is stopped may result in the passenger side NPC exiting and attempting to shoot at the player.

Once the doors are open the player will receive a message that Cash has dropped from the Armored Truck A number of cash bags (2-6) will drop from the back of the truck and the player needs to be on foot to collect these.

The player then just needs to lose their wanted level, although failing to escape will not forfeit the cash picked up, only their normal medical bill.

If no player attacks the spawned truck it will eventually de-spawn from the Radar/map and even though the truck itself may still be visible to a player, it will be deactivated and wil lnot produce any cash if attacked.

Trivia

 * Armored Trucks can be picked up with a Cargobob to be transported and placed in a secure location to be opened
 * Armored Trucks have been subject to a number of bugs since the game launched, including failure to drop any cash, no wanted stars incurred and repeated consecutive spawning.
