I do think it makes the game a bit blander, but the game is still fun at times.

How to kill people in Armored Kurumas guide:

  • use a computer mouse
  • shoot them in the loving face

It's literally the same aim point for any vehicle. Shoot at it with an assault rifle.

Get in cheap car like your Sultan or car off the street like the Carbonizzare. Put a sticky bomb on the front, ram the Karuma and detonate on impact.

Get dinged with insurance payments and bad sport points for destroying another player's vehicle. It's dumb.

Bad sport no longer exists for blowing up cars even though you still get warnings (you're right it is dumb) and they haven't really enforced it in probably well over a year - I don't think I've ever seen absolute proof that someone has been sent to bad sport since Rockstar fixed their in-game money issues. I've only seen one ticket with Rockstar support about someone complaining about being bad sport for destroying maybe 400 cars in a single day (this was around Christmas 2013). Which is loving impressive and he should be commended for it. Not punished.

I have had no hesitation about destroying other vehicles and have destroyed dozens in a single session. I'm still a "Clean Player" and have never once been "Dodgy" (you can check this in Online->Players->View Profile).

As for insurance.... stop being a poor. :v:

As a player who is really bad, the Kuruma has allowed me to stay alive in free mode for more than three minutes and I repay the favor by killing randos only sparingly. :)

Now go find someone also riding one and yell out "Scooter Brothers!"

Maybe also troll some Utility races with it as well.

Yeah most of those people are laughably easy to outdrive with even a lovely sedan missing a tire or two.

Where is a good hunker-down defensive position?

Mostly protected from air, close to hit people on the ground but not immediately accessible from the ground.

The tunnels under the city maybe? The entrances are not always the closest to people, but your player dot can confuse bad players trying to find you, and it can serve as a great choke point for the ones that do find you.

You know what'd be great? If armor-piercing .50 cal snipers actually pierced armor. It'd be worth the boredom just to go on a Kuruma hunt from a rooftop.

They used to be able to, at least not intentionally. You could snipe people in their tanks with a rifle but that was less because of armor piercing bullets and more because it was an oversight on Rockstar's part. Tank sniping was my favorite thing to do way back when, just flying from rooftop to rooftop in my buzzard sniping people talking poo poo on their mics in their tanks. Then they patched out tank sniping and nerfed tanks into the ground.

I have a Voltic and find it fun as poo poo. Quick to go, fast, agile, and loving silent. I just want something flashy and fun for no reason (reason enough...right?)


I might use the tunnel near the freeway. A friend and I are looking for strong points to choke the police while they aimbot headshot us in invite only.

It's definitely not as rear end happy as the coquette tho and handles much better. I don't really notice oversteer at all.

My only complaint is that it will roll if you hit or clip another car with ease.

The Exemplar is, to my knowledge, the top of its class in 4-door luxury coupes so if you ever do racing and want a good coupe then you should grab it. The Massacro is a fantastic sports car, but the Racecar variant is just slightly better.

For the more expensive cars, I'd suggest loving around with them for free in a race first. I bought an infernus and kinda regretted it for how much it cost. If you're just buying it for looks though, go wild.

Maybe the mine shaft? There is only one way in and even when people make it in, they still have to find you.

I have yet to be found in there on PC and they do try. If they got even close they'd be destroyed by the proxy mines. I run the the back and return to he front and the door has re spawned itself.

Best for actually going fast is Pigalle. The rest are good for doing donuts and not much else. Casco might be pretty good but I haven't gotten it yet.


As for shooting dudes out of Armored Kurumas, I dunno how to do videos and haven't been fighting much lately :shrug: I've headshotted driver/passenger combos before up close, but obviously if a driver knows what they're doing (not stopping or driving straight) it's much more difficult to do.

Massacro is sweet. It's possibly the fastest in its class (and can even keep pace with some of the slower supercars) and has a ton of different customization options. Wish they had a convertable version though.
