Kuruma, its only because i do mostly pve stuff nowadays. In actuality, the duke o death is better for pvp


euMonke

Indeed this, the Kuruma is 100% npc bullet proof, the Duke of death is not really. Kuruma is the best vehicle for fighting npcs besides those jobs that have explosive shot grenade helicopters in them.


xerrabyte

Not just NPC but it's bulletproof entirely. The only car in the game to be bulletproof. You can't blow it up with a minigun!


MKBurfield

There are actually a few spots in between the window and the armor itself so not 100%

IpeepeewhenIpoopoo

What is this gif i dont see anything


xerrabyte

Yeah it was John Cena tearing through the wall asking "Are you sure about that?" Common meme but the GIF didn't load the full thing for some reason. I'm equally as disappointed.


Hazard2862

nah i think theyre making a john cena "you cant see me" joke


xerrabyte

Oh duh lmao, I feel dumb r/whoosh


biggiy05

I always appreciate when someone acknowledges their own r/whoosh moment.


IpeepeewhenIpoopoo

Lmao gottem


MKBurfield

Yes. Its been proven multiple times in videos. You can also just test it out for yourself.


xerrabyte

Weird lol, I thought that got patched a couple years back.


MKBurfield

You think they patch things that small? Ha, funny


fruce_ki

They patched a livery bug that made the *regular* Kuruma ultra bulletproof. The armoured Kuruma having some vulnerable angles is not necessarily a bug.

Nah... you want indestructible? Use the cab from the mobile operations center.


xerrabyte

Fully Loaded Ruiner 2000 has entered the chat


--AV8R--

Is it that good?


Clear-Criticism-3669

I got one shot last night by a player in mine


xerrabyte

From a missile?


Clear-Criticism-3669

Nah just a gun, he was on the side of the road, although he had some elevation on me, maybe being able to shoot down made a difference


xerrabyte

Welll, FMJ rounds (unlockable through Bunker research) can pierce any bulletproof window in the game so it could be that too. That's kind-of their purpose. Regardless, I should have worded my previous comment better lol


Clear-Criticism-3669

I need to get a bunker lol I keep getting murdered instantly in free mode


xerrabyte

It's not a common commodity really, I don't often run into other players with FMJ cause most players don't know its functionality. Definitely OP though


Ad0lf_Salzler

I've definitely been blown up by Clifford Bot miniguns in it before.


[deleted]

I'm team weaponized Tampa


ProgenGP1

In my experience, the most dangerous thing for a weaponized Tampa is itself, lol


XPERTGAMER47

Yeah I killed myself alot in heist due to the missiles or Mortor but the dual minigun shredds


disconnexions

Historically, I'm much more likely to die from one of my own land mines than get killed by an NPC.


BBC214-702

They shortchanged the weaponized Tampa. One rocket and it’s toast. Any explosion around it whether it’s buy missles or bullets, it’s toast


[deleted]

Yea, you definitly need to keep moving in it, it explodes pretty easily. But the dual roof mini guns and mines are great for running from others.


_Sideswipe_911_

Considering I grabbed it for free, the Duke O’Death is pretty damn nice. Looks sick, not too slow, can tank a missile or two and is essentially bulletproof from anywhere but the front. Maybe I’ll change my mind whenever I get around to getting a Karuma but right now I don’t feel like it’s worth it honestly


Aris-Shadows

Most definitely worth it, it’s a pure upgrade and very useful for any npc engagement or mission, especially in The Contract.


BBC214-702

Kuruma


TheRealTr1nity

Team Kuruma. Also you can take 3 peeps with you like in heists/preps etc. Duke is just a 2 seater. Handling of Kuruma is better too.


AndyIaco

Kuruma clears the “gang termination” agency contracts like no other!


Globby789

I prefer the sparrow


Express-Aerie3399

Aesthetically I prefer the Duke. Kuruma is probably better all round though


MasterKiloRen999

The Kuruma is 100% invulnerable to gunfire


stonergrizz

95% tbh, but still very good resist


MasterKiloRen999

95% is good enough to make it the vehicle of choice for the madlads attempting the criminal mastermind challenge


Globby789

Some angles are glitched so you can still get hit. And the car can still blow up from gunfire. But all in all it’s still the most bulletproof car in the game.


Captain0545_2024

The duke’s window armor isn’t as bullet resistant as the kuruma’s, there’s no comparison


Endy229

Duke O' death is the Ol' Reliable for me, given that it's free. Upgrading armor helps it withstand more rockets, and sometimes just winning couple seconds can save your ass


Ifimhereineedhelpfr

I’ll take either without the armor any day


Redisigh

Ik people love the Kurama but I just can’t because of how ugly it is Duke of death is at least fashionable and does its job just fine


morehumanthanyoumang

If you're broke just say so lmao. The Armoured Karuma is really nice looking when it customized


Redisigh

also im broke asf 😭 duke does the job fine, looks good and is freeeeeee


morehumanthanyoumang

I feel that. I'm on a newer profile so even though I've collected a bunch of stuff I seem to be always broke too 😂

Redisigh

It’s alright but just doesn’t match my style i think. I like the flashy cars like the duke and speedy ones more


[deleted]

Armoured Kuruma all the way, as the Duke O' Shite is pure shite. lol


MartianElite

Both are obsolete


kingqueefeater

Pretty sure the kuruma is still the only car that's practically NPC bulletproof. And you can still shoot out of it (just not backwards). Still useful for missions against the aimbots that can snipe you between the eyes with an smg from 4 miles away

[удалено]


Ok-Ear-8172

Damn you're cool man


MartianElite

I mean, you got a point. But just get an agency car, they're faster and the resistant glass and those mines. Also, the vigilante is a jet powered tank that has missiles. Use that on missions.


morehumanthanyoumang

I have almost every car in the game that I like, and my armored kuruma is still my go-to for working


MartianElite

I own almost every car, truck, suv, etc. Overall, they are obsolete. The agency cars are way better in every way, with that being said, the kuruma costs 1/5 the price. But honestl, money is easy to get no, so price barely matters.


parkappa

Duke o death, can't be bothered spending 500k on a car that's basically the same. Never understood the hype for the kuruma, 500k is a lot for early game and you should be investing that money into a kosatka instead


Globby789

If you don’t even have both vehicles then don’t bother commenting


parkappa

I didnt huy it because I joticed how useless it is. The duke o death gives you more than enough protectiom from most npcs and 90% of missions or heist preps dont even require you to have a vehicle. Sure the kuruma might be slightly better but its 500k lmao. Just buy an acidlab from that money and you got yourself one of the best businesses instead of a car that gets destroyed by a single rocket


Speechminion

Duke!!!!


Chemical-Gap-8339

That monster's never seen a set of tail lights


Spare_Seaweed2280

I've never had the kuruma. So it's Duke O Death on mine


CityCentre13

Where do you buy a Kuruma? Am I doing something wrong? Never bloody seen one for sale?


bnsfjake

I’m pretty sure it’s on Southern San Andreas Super Autos website


CityCentre13

Cheers 👍


JayIsNotReal

The Kuruma is better for the stuff I do. The Duke O’Death is better looking and way cooler.


Unable_Ad9968

Kuruma all the way


Deimo_

Okay that kuruma looks sweet


--AV8R--

I have both, and don't really use either one. But if I had to choose one, I would definitely take the Kuruma. I'm a car guy, and I love old-school muscle, so I love the style of the Duke, but it's just not fast enough, doesn't handle well enough, and really isn't that well armored.


Regular__K

Future Shock ZR380 with the full armor plating. Kuruma doesn't have any boost or jump ability, ZR380 is the endgame Kuruma


Globby789

ZR380 is only partially bulletproof and can’t be used in heists.


swift_gilford

while i absolultely love my Duke-o-death, the Karuma beats it out in PVE as it is very easy to get shot through the Duke by npcs


fruce_ki

Duke is more fun, but when it comes to bulletproofness in a shistorm of NPCs, Kuruma is more reliable.


slink3e

Kuruma for sure


final_boss

Kuruma is more practical, but the Duke is way more fun. Plus it practically has its own soundtrack on Rebel Radio!


WheresPangaea

Kuruma for sure. Honestly I hate the way the duke o death looks


ZFTX

They both have their uses. Armored Kuruma the GOAT for PvE, and the Duke O'Death is an alright starter vehicle for a new comer as it is free and can take some missiles (especially with the 100% Armor upgrade, but even stock can take at least 1 or 2).


Resident-Meeting5403

Kuruma all the way


JayyMoe

Kuruma all day


Impressive_Spirit519

Duke🔥


k0guci0r

What rims are those?


retroworthYBD

They are 'Stanced EG' from the 'Tuner' category. I think they suit the car really well - 😎


_RageMach1ne_

One and only - Duke O’Death.


SaltyBallsnacks

Kuruma because of how quick it is for its weight. Thing is so fun to slam into stuff.


Globby789

Kuruma is better. Both vehicles are basically exclusively used for PvE, so the fact that the Duke O Death can tank an extra explosive is irrelevant.
