How Ballistic equipment works in GTA Online

Ballistic Equipment Explained

The Ballistic Equipment gives you high grade body armour and unlimited minigun ammo, but how do you get it and what are its limitations?

See it in action in our video above.

How to get Ballistic Equipment

It’s not easy getting the Ballistic Equipment. First you need to buy a Bunker from Maze Bank and then start the Gunrunning set of missions and get your staff working on Research.

Next you need to wait for the Ballistic Equipment to get unlocked. You can’t choose which weapon the research team work on, you just have to wait for it to get unlocked in its random order, although you can speed up individual research by paying to fast track it.

When finally the Ballistic Equipment is unlocked you need to go to Warstock on your phone’s internet and purchase it for $500k.

Once you’ve done so and you’re outside you open your Interaction menu and scroll down to ‘Ballistic Equipment Services’ and then you can request it for $5000 a time.

After a few seconds a green skull icon will appear next to you. Walk into the icon and you’ll have the full armour and unlimited minigun ammo until you’re killed or you use the Interaction menu again to remove it.

Other players cannot steal it by getting to the green icon first but they are notified that you have requested it.

Limitations of the Ballistic Equipment

While it’s great in a shootout with the cops, in a gang attack or against fellow players in freemode, you cannot enter any vehicles, can only move slowly and are restricted in using it in missions. You also cannot use any other weapon from the weapon wheel until you remove it.

You can’t use snacks or body armour or enter buildings. After wearing it there’s a fifteen minute countdown until you can use it again.
