GTA V Military Base Infiltration and Rhino Tank Acquisition Guide

Grand Theft Auto V, despite its age, remains incredibly popular. A major factor in its continued relevance is the consistent addition of new content. This guide focuses on acquiring the coveted Rhino tank from the heavily guarded military base, Lago Zancudo.

Locating Lago Zancudo Military Base

Lago Zancudo is situated south of North Chumash beach. The image above pinpoints its precise location. The base is heavily fortified, surrounded by fences and patrolled by armed personnel.

Infiltrating the Military Base

There are two primary methods for infiltrating Lago Zancudo:

Air Infiltration: Approaching by air (helicopter or plane) will trigger a two-star wanted level and a warning. Ignoring this will escalate to a four-star wanted level, resulting in guided missile attacks. A parachute landing offers a slightly safer, albeit riskier, approach.

Ground Infiltration: A high-speed vehicle allows for a daring maneuver: jumping a cliff or hill to land between the outer fences, avoiding detection. A motorcycle can also be used, though driving directly through the main checkpoint might succeed if the guard isn't vigilant.

Acquiring the Rhino Tank

Once inside the base, locate the Rhino tank. This requires a strategic approach:

  1. Fire a few shots at the tank, then take cover.
  2. Repeat this process until the driver abandons the vehicle.
  3. Eliminate the driver and claim the Rhino tank.

Be aware: taking the tank immediately grants a four-star wanted level. Seek refuge in a tunnel to evade helicopter attacks.

Additional Military Vehicles

Beyond the Rhino tank, Lago Zancudo also houses other valuable vehicles:

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

This guide provides a comprehensive strategy for accessing Lago Zancudo and acquiring its prized military hardware. Remember to proceed with caution!
