The Worst Vehicle Upgrade in GTA Online — Don’t Waste Your Money
2025/06/27

I came across a video today that breaks down one of GTA Online’s most disappointing upgrades: the Nightshark’s armored windows.

A lot of us buy this vehicle thinking we’re getting top-tier protection — especially after spending an extra $195K on those armor plates.

But here’s the problem: the armor only protects the front windshield. The sides? Completely vulnerable. You’re basically paying for the illusion of safety. Even worse, once those plates are installed, you can’t use sticky bombs or shoot out the windows. Instead of protection, you end up locked inside a flashy but helpless target.

The irony is, the Nightshark is actually more useful without the window armor.

You can fight back, use your gear, and not feel like you’re trapped inside a steel box with curtains.

The video below shows the full test — side angles, bullet hits, the whole thing. If you’ve ever bought this upgrade thinking it’d save your life, you need to see what’s really going on.
