The Chernobog is a military artillery truck featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Doomsday Heist update.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Chernobog is a ballistic missile launcher truck strongly based on the MAZ-543M, but replaces the BM-30 Smerch rocket system with a 15-tube launch pod (which uses a standard box-shaped framing). It is the first vehicle to adopt a 4-axle design.
The truck features red stars around it, which, as with the V-65 Molotok, indicates it is a Russian Military vehicle. It has a tow hitch on the rear end, but this does not function. The cab is positioned on the left-hand side of the vehicle. Similar to helicopters such as the Savage and Akula, the driver sits in the front section of the cabin, and the rocket operator sits in the rear section.
The interior of the truck is basically green, as with other Russian vehicles in the game, such as the V-65 Molotok and the RM-10 Bombushka, along with the corresponding truck analog dials. The rear cabin also features a computer that is identical to those used by the Bombushka and the Volatol.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Vehicle
The Chernobog has decent speed for a truck of its size and is very maneuverable at low speeds, thanks to its all-wheel steering system, but generally has sluggish handling at higher speeds, as it often struggles to drive straight after turning. Its large size and huge weight also ensure that most vehicles hit by the Chernobog will often get crushed and explode causing damage, a problem shared with the Rhino. The ground clearance provides decent capability to sort uneven terrain, though the sheer size may become a problem when passing through areas where sharp turns are required. The Chernobogs durability is above average. it can take around 4 direct hits from an explosion before the engine catches fire. Its engine sound is the same as the Phantom Custom and Hauler Custom.
Its notable feature is a "lockdown" mode, where the truck is slightly raised up by four stands found between the four wheel groups, which enables the rocket system on the back, at the expense of being static, so the driver cannot move the vehicle unless the lockdown mode is deactivated, rendering the missile launcher unusable.
- Weaponry
The rocket system can fire up to five rockets, either independently or in a quick burst. After that, the system takes four seconds to reload the tubes and fire the next row. As with the Anti-Aircraft Trailer with missile option, the weapon requires manual targeting to use the homing rockets and takes almost the same time to lock on a target.
The lock-on range of missiles reaches to an excessively high 1000 meter according to the game file (the same as the effective range of Marksman Rifle) and the guidance capability of missiles will even stress experienced pilots in P-996 LAZER. This makes the Chernobog an excellent anti-air vehicle, but the limited effective angle of the rocket system (at 45-50 degrees) will leave the Chernobog vulnerable if the aircraft is directly above.

Prominent Appearances in Missions
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The Chernobog appears in the Freemode Preparation "Chernobog", where it is under ownership of Merryweather Security and used for a training exercise. The crew have to steal the truck from the group and deliver it to the facility. In this instance, the rocket system is deactivated.
- Later, it is used in the setup mission "Escort ULP", used to protect Agent ULP's Havok from Avon's mercenaries.
Locations
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Can be purchased on Warstock Cache & Carry, for $3,311,700 or for $2,490,000 (trade price after completing the Escort ULP setup mission as the heist leader), provided the player already owns a Facility.
Trivia
General
- Chernobog is a Slavic deity, whose name means black god. Certain historical sources interpret him as a dark, accursed god from the Slavic mythology.
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Although the Chernobog lacks a manufacturer in-game, the patch notes from the Rockstar Support page states it is manufactured by HVY.
- The Savage and Akula both also lack a manufacturer in game. This is most likely due to the fact that they are Russian in origin and no in-game Russian manufacturer exists.
- Behind the driver seat there is an second seat for a passenger that can not be used. This hints that the Chernobog may have been able to support more passengers prior to its release.
