GTA V Military Base Infiltration and Rhino Tank Acquisition Guide

Grand Theft Auto V, despite its age, remains incredibly popular. A key reason is the continuous addition of content and updates. This guide focuses on acquiring the coveted Rhino tank from the heavily guarded military base, Lago Zancudo.

Locating Lago Zancudo

Lago Zancudo, the military base, is situated south of North Chumash beach. Refer to the image below for its precise location. The base is heavily fortified, necessitating careful infiltration.

Infiltration Strategies

Two primary methods exist for infiltrating the base:

Air Infiltration: Approaching by air (helicopter or plane) triggers a two-star wanted level upon airspace entry. Ignoring this escalates to a four-star wanted level and guided missile attacks. Parachuting offers a riskier but potentially successful alternative.

Ground Infiltration: A fast vehicle allows you to bypass the perimeter fences. Aim to land between the outer fences undetected. Alternatively, a daring approach involves driving through the main checkpoint if the guard is momentarily distracted. A motorcycle can also be used, but success is less guaranteed.

Acquiring the Rhino Tank

Once inside, locate the Rhino tank patrolling the base. This requires a more tactical approach:

  1. Engage the Rhino tank with gunfire, then seek cover.
  2. Repeat this process until the driver abandons the vehicle.
  3. Eliminate the driver and claim the Rhino tank.

A four-star wanted level is immediately triggered upon entering the tank. Seek immediate refuge in a tunnel to evade helicopter attacks.

Additional Military Vehicles

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

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

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of infiltrating Lago Zancudo and acquiring the Rhino tank, enhancing your GTA V gameplay experience. Remember to adapt your strategy based on your skills and available resources.
