- "Alien invasion, the undead rising, hordes of liberal arts students. Whatever threatens your way of life, make sure you have the upper hand with the Rune Zhaba, the perfect vehicle to raise you up above it all. Whether you're grinding bones or crushing hope, Warstock has you covered."
- ―Warstock Cache & Carry description.
The RUNE Zhaba is an all-terrain vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the continuation of the The Diamond Casino Heist update, released on January 2, 2020, during the Zhaba Week event.
Contents
Description
The Zhaba was initially featured as a mission-only vehicle in the "Getaway Vehicles" preparation and later used as a possible getaway vehicle in the Casino Heist. However, as of the Zhaba Week event, it became available for purchase.
Design
Grand Theft Auto Online
The Zhaba is evidently based on the SHERP ATV, seen in the overall appearance and large wheels.
The vehicle features a cube-shaped appearance, where the front end is slightly angled and has a small front compartment. A set of square lights are visible right below the windshield, with the RUNE logo at the centre of the front end.
The sides feature bulky fenders and large access doors, together with side steps and compartment doors on either side. A set of ladder bars can be seen on the left side. On the roof, a LED floodlight bar can be seen on the front, as well as two hatches on the passenger side and the rear compartment.
The rear end is composed of two doors and a large stepside, along with a set of tail lights that are the same as the ones from the Scarab. Black vents and a right, downward-pointing exhaust can be seen next to the doors. The RUNE badge is visible next to the passenger-side tail light set.
Its interior reuses the same dials and dashboard layout as the Scarab with the exception of the RUNE logo on the steering wheel. The rear compartment is similar to the rear interior from the Stockade and Police Riot.
The primary colour of the vehicle is applied on the bodywork while the secondary colour is applied on the hinges and handles on the doors and hatches. The vehicle features large wheels with high-profile tyres, which have knobby treads that doubles as pallets when going over water.
Upon entering the Zhaba’s front compartment, the driver will briefly pause to close the front-end doors, then start the engine.

Performance
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Vehicle
The vehicle is rather slow for its size, taking a while to get up to speed. Acceleration is rather low and its top speed is relatively low too, being outrun by many armored vehicles similar to it. It has a short wheelbase, allowing it to turn sharply at low to medium speeds. The vehicle does not have much traction so this causes it to spin out when making sharp turns and when it is struck by some vehicles. Braking is good, taking a short distance to stop the vehicle completely.
The Zhaba's weight is surprisingly light for its type, and this gives the vehicle poor ramming capabilities. The light weight also makes it vulnerable to being pushed around by many vehicles such as SUVs or large vehicles. This makes sorting out traffic problematic, especially if it's on the freeway. Missiles from enemies can push it around as well, making escape and recovery difficult.
The Zhaba handles well offroad, with its large tires and suspension allowing it to sort small rocks and low barriers with ease. It also fairs well going up mountains but going up steep slopes is a lost cause as the engine power is not enough to keep it going on steep slopes. Large rocks or obstacles are to be avoided as they can stop the Zhaba completely.
The Zhaba also has amphibious capabilities, allowing it to traverse water. Top speed and acceleration are low, making it slower than the APC and other boats. Turning is fine and braking is good as well.
Installing any "Rack" modification will increase its traction slightly, in the same way as a spoiler.
- Armor
The Zhaba is resilient against bullets, allowing it to sustain large amounts of gunfire especially with Armor upgrades. Resistance to rockets is good, taking around 14 Homing Missiles to destroy it. The windows are semi bulletproof, taking several shots to shatter them unless the enemy has FMJ rounds.
Overall, the Zhaba is well suited for combat but the aforementioned speed and weight make it a rather unsuitable for vehicle chases and when the enemy has access to missiles, which can push the vehicle around.

Prominent Appearances in Missions
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Should the player employ Chester McCoy as the driver for The Diamond Casino Heist, he may request the player to steal two Zhabas as getaway vehicles.
Locations
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Available for purchase from Warstock Cache & Carry for $2,400,000 or for $1,800,000 after completing The Diamond Casino Heist as the Heist Leader and using the Zhaba as a getaway vehicle.
Events
Grand Theft Auto Online
- Could be won from the Lucky Wheel in the Casino during The Heist Challenge event.
- Common to other podium vehicles, several "Extra" parts are missing. It came without any fenders and the LED lights which are normally attached to the fenders, the rear bumper and sidesteps are also missing. The housing of the LED light bar on the roof was missing, making the lights float in mid-air and become invisible from behind as there is no texture assigned to the back of the element. The complete and correct light bar can be seen on the vehicle's Lucky Wheel advertisement. This was the only way to legitimately get the vehicle with these parts missing, as there are no options to remove or restore the parts when customizing. All missing parts are marked as "Extras" in the 3D model [4].
Trivia
- "Zhaba" (Жаба) means "Frog" in Slavic languages.
- The Zhaba has no default radio station. The radio will be switched off when the player enters the vehicle.
- There is a unique animation when the player enters the vehicle.
- Throwable weapons such as Sticky Bombs cannot be used by the player in the front seats.
Bugs/Glitches
Grand Theft Auto Online
- The Zhaba will startle nearby NPCs, however they will only scream or shout in disapproval, and not run away or attempt to take out the driver. This happens even if the player is simply idling within the vehicle.
- Changing the bumper modifications may sometimes remove the turbo on the Zhaba if the player has had it installed, which can be seen via the steep decrease in the acceleration bar.
- The Zhaba’s fenders can be removed via the same method used to remove stock spoilers.
- The second "Casino Heist" variant may have the fenders missing, but the light sets will remain in place, floating next to the vehicle.
