The Benefactor Schafter V12 (Armored) is a luxury armored four-door sedan featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Executives and Other Criminals update.
Design[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The vehicle is essentially the armored variant of the Schafter V12, which features armor padding on the sides and window armoring on the pillars.
Colour distribution is the same as the regular Schafter V12 and the Schafter, where the primary colour is applied to the body and the interior stitching, while the secondary colour is applied on the bonnet, roof and boot. A trim colour is also available for the interior, being applied to the dashboard, seats and door panels. Its wheels share the same rim design as the "Drag SPL" muscle rims available in Los Santos Customs, wrapped in high-profile tyres.

Detailing
Performance[]
Grand Theft Auto Online[]
The Armored V12 trades some acceleration for a slightly higher top speed and gives the vehicle limited resistance to explosions. It can take one direct tank shell without being destroyed. The vehicle can also take one sticky bomb (a second sets the car on fire). The increased weight means steering input response time is slightly longer than the standard variant. Thanks to its armor, it can withstand a single RPG rocket.
The Schafter V12 (Armored) can take the following:
- 1 Sticky Bomb (where a 2nd will destroy the vehicle)
- 1 Homing Launcher/Rocket Launcher (where a 2nd will destroy the vehicle)
- 1 Grenade (where a 2nd will destroy the vehicle)
- 1 Missile/Tank Shell from a vehicle (Rhino Tank, Hydra, etc) (where a 2nd will destroy the vehicle)
- 1 Canon shot from a Valkyrie (where a 2nd will destroy the vehicle)
- Approximately 200 rounds of the Minigun.
- Approximately 3 seconds of firing from a mounted minigun (Valkyrie, Turreted Limo, etc)
It can be noted that the Schafter V12 shares its armored capabilities with the Schafter LWB (Armored), XLS (Armored), along with both armored Cognoscentis and Baller LEs.
