The Vigilante is a heavily weaponized vehicle modeled after the Batmobile from the Dark Knight trilogy. It features a unique rocket boost that can be used to launch the car forward or even into the air, allowing for quick escapes, ramming enemies, and reaching high speeds. The boost recharges over time and can be used repeatedly.

Its primary weapons are unlimited homing missiles (similar to the Oppressor Mk II but with a slower lock-on) and machine guns. The missiles are effective against ground and air targets, though they can be dodged by agile aircraft. The Vigilante is classified as a weaponized vehicle, so it cannot be used in standard races but is allowed in certain contact missions, heist setups, and freemode events.

For making money, the Vigilante excels in missions like "Sightseer" (CEO Work) and "Headhunter" due to its speed and firepower. It is also a top choice for the "Diamond Casino Heist" prep missions and the "Doomsday Heist" setups. However, it cannot be used in the original heists (e.g., Fleeca, Prison Break) as those restrict weaponized vehicles. Prices and payouts change with updates; check in-game for current values.

Its main drawbacks are its large size, poor handling at high speeds, and lack of armor compared to the Insurgent or Nightshark. It also cannot be stored in a regular garage; it requires a Vehicle Warehouse (as a Special Vehicle) or a Facility.

Tips

  • Use the rocket boost to ram enemies off the road or to jump over obstacles; it can also be used to dodge missiles by boosting sideways.
  • The Vigilante's missiles have a slower lock-on than the Oppressor Mk II; lead your targets slightly for moving vehicles.
  • In missions like 'Headhunter', use the boost to quickly close distance on targets and then spam missiles from a safe range.
  • Avoid using the Vigilante in tight city streets; its size and poor turning make it prone to getting stuck.
  • If you own a Facility, you can store the Vigilante there and call it via the interaction menu (Special Vehicles).
  • The boost can be activated while airborne, giving you a second jump; useful for reaching rooftops or escaping pursuers.

FAQ

Is the Vigilante worth buying in 2024?
Yes, if you enjoy using weaponized vehicles in missions and freemode. It remains one of the fastest land vehicles with boost and has unlimited missiles. However, it faces strong competition from the Oppressor Mk II (for air mobility) and the Toreador (which has better missiles and can go underwater). Consider your playstyle: if you want a fun, unique car with a powerful boost, the Vigilante is a great choice.
Can the Vigilante be used in heists?
It can be used in the Doomsday Heist (setups and finale), Diamond Casino Heist (prep missions only), and Cayo Perico Heist (prep missions). It is not allowed in the original heists (Fleeca, Prison Break, etc.) or in standard races. Always check the mission restrictions before using it.
How do I get the trade price for the Vigilante?
Complete 10 Doomsday Heist setups as a leader or crew member. The setups can be any of the three acts (Act I, II, or III). Once done, you can purchase the Vigilante at the trade price from Warstock Cache & Carry.
