Template:Next-Gen Template:Infobox vehicles
The Dune FAV (Fast Attack Vehicle) is an armed variant of the Dune Buggy featured in the Gunrunning update as part of the Grand Theft Auto Online.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The buggy appears to take strong inspirations from the Desert Patrol Vehicle (formerly known as the "Fast Attack Vehicle"), although with a standard cabin instead of having a rear section for the rear gunner.
It assumes the body design of the Dune Buggy with military liveries and a weapon mount at the front of the vehicle, usable by the passenger of the buggy. The sides are extended to carry further equipment and rather than smaller wheels at the front, this version features all-off-road wheels of the same size.
By default, the Dune FAV comes equipped with a mounted MG and the rear cabin frames have unusable weapons on it (Carbine Rifle on the left and Combat MG on the right).

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Vehicle
The Dune FAV appears to have better top speed and acceleration than its basic counterpart, while retaining the general handling and the off-road capabilities. The Dune FAV can also lean easily in mid-air jumps, allowing for quick recoveries.
Like many BF offroad vehicles, the Dune FAV is powered by a single cam Flat-4 engine. Its engine also appears to emit a louder noise.
- Armor
While having good offensive capabilities, it is not the best during combat situations, as the occupants are rather vulnerable to gunfire and the armor is pretty weak against firearms in general and explosives. In other words, the Dune FAV should be avoided for heavy combat.
- Weaponry
The gunner has access to a dashboard-mounted weapon, which gives limited coverage on the front, although with a good range and angle, allowing to take out low-flying aircraft easily. It is best suited for fighting NPCs offroad, targets on foot or chasing unarmed vehicles.
- The stock weapon option features a mounted 7.62mm MG, offering good range and fire rate. It has similar statistics to that of the Insurgent Pick-Up's weapon.
- The grenade launcher option offers a mounted 40mm Grenade Launcher, having almost the same performance as its normal counterpart; and is excellent against armored vehicles, but has limited ammo capacity (about 20 grenades).
- The minigun option offers a mounted 7.62mm Minigun, which behaves the same way as any mounted minigun present in other vehicles.
- The vehicle has the option for installing Proximity Mines, which behave the same as any remote explosive and are operated by the driver. These mines are a bit stronger than their hand-held counterparts and are also limited to five active mines. Caution should be taken when using it, as it can potentially damage or destroy the vehicle.

Prominent Appearances in Missions
Grand Theft Auto Online
- One or two Dune FAVs are provided to the crew in the first Mobile Operation mission, Severe Weather Patterns. One has the mounted MG and the second one a mounted Minigun.
- Furthermore, if the player has completed this mission, the regular Dune Buggy provided in a Steal Supplies mission will be replaced with a Dune FAV.
- Dune FAVs are occasionally provided as the delivery vehicles in a Sell Weapons mission to make 5 drop-offs around the map. The mission also asks the player to use the buggies' Proximity Mines to take out enemies chasing behind.
Locations
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Available in Warstock Cache & Carry for $1,130,500 or for $850,000 after completing Severe Weather Patterns.
- Provided automatically if the player has purchased the Criminal Enterprise Starter Pack.
Events
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Price reduced to $847,875 or $637,500 (trade price) (25% off) during P-45 Nokota Week (7 November - 13 November 2017).[1]
Trivia
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The modelling of both camo nettings may differ by just a few details, mostly on the left side, where the portion covering a fuel canister may change.
- Shooting with the MG or Minigun from first person view is easier, as the camera does not shake like in third person angles.
Bugs/Glitches
- If an NPC uses the mounted gun, they will be able to shoot enemies in any direction, ignoring its physical restriction. Despite this, the gun is still physically restricted from facing in the direction its bullets will travel.
- For instance, this can be done in the mission No Hay Bronca, which allows Stanley to use the gun as a passenger.
- This is also seen in many other armed NPC enemy vehicles, whereas they can shoot at any direction the player is at regardless of the weapon's direction/rotation ability.
