Base Invaders is a mission in Grand Theft Auto Online given to the player by Ron Jakowski. It is available for up to 4 players.
Description[]
The player gets a message from Ron with the instructions. The player goes to get Ron's Velum from the Sandy Shores Airfield, to fly to Fort Zancudo and steal a Cargobob for TPI. The player should protect the Velum from exploding. Once there, the player is instructed to destroy three P-996 LAZERs to make sure they don't chase him afterwards. Upon being detected by the soldiers in the base, either by getting close to them or firing a weapon, the player receives a 5-star wanted level. Thereafter, the player proceeds to kill the soldiers, steal the Cargogob parked in hangar A1, and brings it back to the Sandy Shores Airfield. The mission ends once the Cargobob is successfully landed at the airfield.
The wanted level in this mission does not follow the conventional protocol of GTA Online. While the player is in the base, an infinite number of soldiers will spawn, either on foot or in Barracks trucks, and attack the player. However, neither the military nor the LSPD will chase the player once they leave Fort Zancudo, despite the presence of a 5-star wanted level.
Mission Objectives[]
- Get in Ron's Plane.
- Fly to Fort Zancudo.
- Destroy the Lazers.

Trivia[]
- The name of the mission is a reference to the video game Space Invaders.
- This mission is very similar to the mission Cargobob in Grand Theft Auto V; in both missions, the player needs to steal a Cargobob from Fort Zancudo and deliver to Sandy Shores Airfield. Military during the missions are scaled down so things like the P-996 LAZER won't be scrambled to intercept the players should they get airborne.
- However, unlike the mission in GTA V, after The High Life Update, this mission now spawns enemies endlessly, which makes it tedious or nearly impossible to complete if playing alone.
- The player will not gain a wanted level until they are noticed by a soldier, unlike in Freemode, or most other missions, where the player will immediately gain a wanted level upon entering Fort Zancudo.
- Strangely, the military Mesas seen in the base aren't actually Crusaders, but off-road Mesas with a completely tan body.
- This is one of four missions (the others being American Exports, Docks to Stock and Docks to Stock II) in GTA Online that require the player to steal a Cargobob from Fort Zancudo, and the only one that isn't given by Lester Crest.
- The P-996 LAZERs that need to be destroyed can also be piloted by the player, and thus used to their advantage.
