Template:Infobox vehicles
The HVY Insurgent is a vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as a part of the Heists Update.
Design
The Insurgent is a Light Armored Personnel Vehicle (LAPV) that appears in two variants. The vehicle itself is mainly based on the GURKHA armored vehicles, characterized by the roof-rails, hood details, rounded headlights, roof hatch and front bumper, with some influences from the Conquest KnightXV, especially the single-door rear entrance and a small grille over the main one, where the hood is slightly pronounced. It is also based, to a lesser extent, on the Marauder, apparently for the raised suspension, the semi-squared door windows and a similar tail lights scheme, except that the ones found on this vehicle are squared.
Depending on the variants, the Insurgent Pick-Up more closely resembles the GURKHA, while the Insurgent is closer to the Conquest Knight.
It features multiple accessories, including a front roll cage, roof-mounted lights, SUV-like compartment and a roof-mounted cannon. It is able to carry passengers on the sides, as there are roof-rails over it, while the pick-up variant has the ability to carry 2 passengers on the truck bed.
Performance
GTA Online
The Insurgent is incredibly durable, more so than the Rhino. Both Insurgents can survive around three tank shots, around 6 Buzzard rockets, five RPG shots, seven Sticky Bombs or around 20-25 seconds of constant minigun fire aimed directly at the engine. It is stated to have a triple-plated shell. It can also ram parked aircraft, blow them up (depending on speed), and continue to drive without any noticeable damage. The vehicle has bulletproof tires by default after purchase, and since it is already fully armored, it never deforms, no matter how hard it hits an object. The bodywork around the front-mounted winch may deform slightly. The Insurgent can hit vehicles its size or smaller at high speed without losing much speed, and can hit other vehicles with such force that they might flip over. The Insurgent has above average speed and acceleration for a vehicle its size, maxing out at 110mph fully upgraded and with decent traction to boot. Overall, the Insurgent is a massive force to be reckoned with, with high explosive durability, acceptable performance, and is well suited to a role as a battering ram. It however has one major flaw; unlike the Armored Kuruma, the windshield is fairly large and unarmored, thus leaving occupants vulnerable to gunfire.
The rear passengers on the Insurgent Pickup can toggle between ducking into the vehicle or getting on the gunner seat by pressing right on the D-Pad. This tactic can be extremely useful in case the gunner is very weak and needs to regenerate his health back by ducking into the Insurgent. Once he got his health back, he can press right on the D-Pad to get back up on the gunner seat. Another tactic is if there is multiple players on the rear seats, they can take turn to be gunners. The ability to use the turret can be done either from the passenger seats or while standing on the roof.

Trivia
- The unarmed variant costs $16750 in insurance each time it is destroyed, making it more expensive to destroy than the Adder, which is $12500 per claim. This makes the Insurgent the most expensive vehicle so far to insure.
- The unarmed Insurgent is one of two vehicles to have a deductible other than 1.25% the cost of buying it, the other being the Elegy RH8.
- The unarmed variant can be used as a Personal Vehicle, whilst the armed variant is a Pegasus vehicle and thus must be called in.
- In pre-release screenshots, the Insurgents taillights weren't mirrored, instead, the lights appeared to be copied on both sides. When reversing, one light would light up white, and the other would light up red. The glitch is only present in the enhanced version.
- 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. However, it was intended to indicate a "dangerous vehicle", as both Insurgents are very armored and destroying it isn't easy.
- Only the unarmed version can be customized and stored in the player's garage. The Insurgent Pick-Up must be obtained by calling Pegasus.
- Strangely, despite being 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.
- The Insurgent (Unarmed) and the Karin Kuruma (armored) are the only vehicles without an armour upgrade, because they are fully armoured.
