The HVY Insurgent Pick-Up Custom is a custom Light Armored Personnel Vehicle (LAPV) featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Gunrunning update.
Description[]
The Insurgent Pick-Up Custom was originally introduced as a mission-only vehicle that can be driven by the player as a bunker sell delivery vehicle. However, as of the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom Week event, commencing August 1st, 2017, it became available for all players.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Insurgent Pick-Up Custom is a modifiable variant of the Insurgent Pick-Up, where it retains the exact same design and properties as the regular Insurgent Pick-Up, except that a tow-hitch is added, able to tow another player's Anti-Aircraft Trailer. The vehicle can be modified with an array of visual modifications, being armor plates, liveries and respray colors.
Color distribution is the same as its Pegasus equivalent, and retains the same wheel design and color as the aforementioned vehicle and the Insurgent.
Similar to the Pegasus version, the vehicle is equipped with the same machine gun turret that resembles a Browning M2HB .50 caliber machine gun, but can be replaced with a three-barreled .50 caliber Minigun resembling a GAU-19 gatling gun.

Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
Vehicle[]
Performance-wise, the vehicle is the same as its normal counterpart, as well as the unarmed Insurgent, albeit with a slightly higher revving, and a rather unique turbo engine sound will be present if the vehicle is fitted with one. According to the Social Club stats, the vehicle only differs in that it has slightly better acceleration. Still, the performance upgrades can give the vehicle a slight advantage over the regular version, similar to the unarmed Insurgent.
Armor[]
The vehicle has slightly more armor than its equivalents; when the Armor option has been maximized to 100%, the vehicle is capable of surviving up to 26 homing missiles, 8 sticky bombs or 8 RPGs (provided that it is occupied by a driver, otherwise the explosion resistance will be cut in half), or extensive gunfire. However, it has large non-bulletproof windows, making their occupants vulnerable to gunfire.
The Insurgent Pick-Up Custom can be equipped with additional Armor Plating that will primarily affect the windows and the gunner position. Adding any Armor Plating will take away the ability for occupants to use throwable weapons, and none of the upgrades render the glass bulletproof.
- The Light Armor Plating upgrade primarily seems to have only light cosmetic differences, such as light protectors and window mesh gratings.
- The Medium Armor Plating upgrade add grills that obscures the windows and adds a front protective armor plate on the turret, which improves the gunner's protection from gunfire.
- The Heavy Armor Plating upgrade adds plates that constrict the openings in the windows, making it harder for gunfire to get through. The gunner also has additional armor plating behind the hatch, being wider than the turret hatch itself. However, the player may be shot through the small gaps on the windshield plates, while the side window plates are not solid and do not offer protection at all.
Weaponry[]
Similar to the regular version, the vehicle has access to a turret that provide a 360 degree coverage and an elevation range of between -20 and 30 degrees, making it an ideal choice against low-flying aircraft and targets that are close to the vehicle.
- Machine Gun: The first option by default is the same machine gun from the regular version, which shares the same characteristics as the former, having a base damage of 150, a fire rate of about 410 rounds per minute and a range of 500 meters.
- Minigun: The second option is a rapid-fire .50 caliber minigun, which behaves the same as any mounted minigun present in other vehicles such as the Valkyrie and the Turreted Limo. Despite sharing calibers with the Machine Gun, the Minigun suffers from a significant loss in damage output; whilst it gains almost triple the MG's firerate (1200 RPM, three times the stock Machine Gun's 410 RPM) it experiences an extreme drop in individual projectile damage (30, compared to the stock 150). As a result, the Minigun option offers only roughly 60% of the DPS (damage per second) that the stock Machine Gun dishes out. Despite this, the Minigun is able to destroy vehicles instantly upon being damaged enough, while the Machine Gun can only set them aflame and requires additional rounds to finally destroy it.
- The vehicle has the option of 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 them, as they can potentially damage or destroy the vehicle.
Trailer[]
Towing an Anti-Aircraft Trailer in collaboration with another player gives the vehicle increased potential, as the trailer turret can provide additional defense when the main vehicle is suppressing enemies. Caution should be taken when carrying the AA trailer, as it is possible to trigger a proximity mine that the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom has placed, destroying the trailer. The lack of armor often makes the trailer the first vehicle to lose during a combat. Because both vehicles are considered personal vehicles, this requires two people owning at least one of the vehicles.
- The stock MG option usually gives general flexibility against targets and one can protect the other gunner from behind, as well as the rear occupants. Focusing a single target with both turrets usually means increased damage.
- The SAM option gives good capabilities at taking out long-range aircraft, compensating the lack of range and limited capabilities of the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom against armored vehicles. Land vehicles can be taken out with the SAM battery, but the low fire rate limits its effectiveness against armored targets.
- The Flak Cannon option gives the vehicle a better way to defeat enemy heavy armor, again due to the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom's low capabilities against armored targets, but that means exposing the trailer directly to the enemy threat, especially tanks and weaponized aircraft.

Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Up to three Insurgent Pick-Up Customs are used as the delivery vehicles in a Sell Weapons mission involving Merryweather. The player needs to drive it to deliver multiple drops and eliminate Merryweather after each drop. This particular variant appears to have Medium Armor Plating upgrade and is painted with Sprayed Camo livery.
- Up to three Insurgent Pick-Up Customs are used in yet another Sell Weapons mission as the delivery vehicles. The player is tasked with delivering each truck to its respective drop-off. They may also encounter the Cartel, The Lost or a one-star Wanted Level during the sale. This variant appears with Heavy Armor Plating upgrade and has Urban Geometric livery.
- Appears as part of the Business Battle where players must take out all military personnel before stealing the vehicle at Fort Zancudo.
- During Planning Work: Defenses, the player can steal an Insurgent Pick-Up Custom from Merryweather. They can later use it during The Data Contract to defend Avi Schwartzman from the attacking Merryweather troops.
- An Insurgent Pick-Up Custom is seen inside the target underground base during the Security Contract "Liquidize Assets" (if the target to tail is a Merryweather Mesa).
Locations[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- Can be converted from a standard Insurgent Pick-Up in the Mobile Operations Center/Avenger vehicle workshop, for $202,500.
- The vehicle comes with the "Basic Camo" Livery and Light Armor Plating upgrade as standard upon conversion.
- Once converted, it becomes a Personal Vehicle available for use in missions, be it Heists or regular Contact Missions. It will be stored in the oldest garage owned by the player by default, but can be moved into any suitable garage by driving into it with the Insurgent Pick-Up Custom.
Trivia[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
- When modifying it at the Arena Workshop, the vehicle gains a unique "Interior" option that contains the "Light Color" group (normally reserved for Benny's Original Motor Works lowriders and high-end sports vehicles for the dials). However, it seems to have no effect on the dial itself or any other component, as the model does not assign a specific area where to apply the aforementioned color.
