Grand Theft Auto V, released in 2013, continues to captivate players worldwide. While GTA VI is anticipated, GTA V's enduring popularity stems from consistent updates and engaging content. Whether you're collaborating with friends or craving high-octane tank battles, the possibilities are vast.

Speaking of tanks, many players are unaware of the opportunity to acquire one for free within GTA V. To unleash the destructive power of a tank, you'll need to navigate the formidable military base. This guide will detail the location of the base, the process of obtaining the Rhino tank, and other helpful information.

How To Infiltrate The Military Base In GTA V

Located on the map as Lago Zancudo, the military base lies south of North Chumash beach (see image for precise location). Heavily guarded and fenced, infiltration requires strategy. Here are two approaches:

Air Infiltration

Attempting air infiltration via helicopter or plane will trigger a two-star wanted level and a warning upon entering airspace. Ignoring this escalates to a four-star wanted level, attracting guided missiles. Consider a parachute landing to mitigate the risk.

Land Infiltration

A fast vehicle allows you to bypass the base's defenses. Aim to jump a cliff or hill, landing between the outer fences undetected. Careful driving allows you to navigate the base without raising alarms. Alternatively, a motorbike might allow you to slip past the main checkpoint if the guard isn't attentive.

How To Get The Rhino Tank From The Military Base In GTA V?

Having infiltrated the base, locate the Rhino tank patrolling within. This requires a more cautious approach:

  1. Fire a few shots at the Rhino tank and quickly find cover.
  2. Repeat step one until the driver abandons the vehicle.
  3. Eliminate the driver and claim the Rhino tank.

Be warned: securing the tank immediately results in a four-star wanted level. Seek refuge in a tunnel to evade helicopter attacks.

Beyond the Rhino tank, the military base also houses other valuable vehicles:

  • Titan chopper
  • Buzzard attack chopper
  • P-996 LAZER fighter jet
