The Deluxo is a unique vehicle in GTA Online that combines land and air travel. It drives like a standard sports car on the ground but can transform into a hovering vehicle by holding the handbrake (Space on PC, R1 on console) while airborne. Once in hover mode, it can fly at moderate speed and altitude, making it highly versatile for missions, heist setups, and free roam.

It comes equipped with machine guns as standard, and can be upgraded in a Mobile Operations Center or Avenger with a vehicle workshop to add homing missiles, armor, and performance upgrades. The missiles are very accurate and have good range, making the Deluxo a formidable weapon against both ground and air targets.

For money-making, the Deluxo excels in missions like the Doomsday Heist setups, VIP Work, and contact missions where its ability to fly over obstacles and engage enemies from the air saves time. However, its hover speed is slower than dedicated aircraft, so it is not ideal for long-distance travel. Prices and payouts change with updates; check in-game for current costs.

Tips

  • Use the Deluxo's hover mode to hover over water or obstacles and rain down missiles on enemies below.
  • The Deluxo can be stored in any garage, but it counts as a personal vehicle; you cannot call it via Pegasus.
  • When flying, tap the handbrake briefly to switch between hover and land mode quickly.
  • Avoid prolonged hover combat against Oppressor Mk II users; the Deluxo is slower and less agile in the air.
  • Upgrade armor to 100% to survive a single homing missile hit.
  • Use the Deluxo in heist setups like 'The Humane Labs Raid' or 'The Doomsday Heist' for easy traversal.

FAQ

Can the Deluxo be used in heists?
Yes, it can be used in most heist setups and finales, but not in the original heists (e.g., Fleeca, Prison Break) due to vehicle restrictions. It works in Doomsday Heist and newer content.
How do I activate hover mode?
While driving, hold the handbrake (Space on PC, R1 on PS, RB on Xbox) after getting airborne. To descend, release the handbrake. To switch back to land mode, tap the handbrake while on the ground.
Is the Deluxo worth buying in 2024?
Yes, it remains one of the most versatile vehicles for PvE missions and heist setups due to its flight capability and powerful missiles. However, for PvP, the Oppressor Mk II is more agile. Prices may change with updates; check in-game.
