Any reason to buy the Crusader?

I know it is a Pegasus vehicle, which is kinda weird actually...is there something different about it? I know it isn't bulletproof. Does it have resistance to explosions, maybe? Or at least some bulletproof tires? Is there any reason at all for owning one?

I don't see the point in it. I bought it and I don't think I've ever used it. Wish I could sell some of the mistakes I've purchased.

The GTA Wiki says it can survive 'excessive gunfire' but if someone is going to shoot you out of it, they won't be aiming for the engine.

None whatsoever. Its a bog standard street vehicle as far as its combat capabilities are concerned and offers nothing to compensate for the Pegasus-related inconvenience unless you really love jeeps and need to collect every one available.

its a nice off-roader and I think it can hill climb better than the MW Mesa, but that's it, really.

 

You're better off in a proper off-road like the Brawler, Sandking or even the 6x6.

I use it during Extradition after sniping the Titan.

Since the Crusader calls right by the base, I pick it up & then go wait for the limo to spawn.

It just changes things up, no advantage at all.

I bought mine during the Burning Rebel dupe back last year, you could use it as the block vehicle to teleport into the Panto... I've never used it for anything other then that.

I have one because I wanted all the Pegasus vehicles. I don't think I've ever called it.

Bought it just for the hell of it a while back. Not much left to buy these days.

 

Only real use to the Crusader is for roleplay or collection. If you just want a vehicle similar to Army Jeep/Humvee, I'd suggest getting an Insurgent, a Patriot, or a Mesa (Regular or Merryweather). These can be customized to an extent.

For military RP maybe. I use mine from time to time, it's fun.

 

If you're looking for a unique feature or specific ability, look away.

just a military variant of mesa with durability of merryweather mesa . what else you need ? oh yeah , the tires aren't exposed unlike merryweather variant

as such , both merryweather mesa and crusader are slow but stronger

It's useless. No bp tires or bp windows. No armour to survive heavy explosive blasts, no stopping power to ram things out the way, no customization, lame ass engine sound, low off-road capabilities, 225k.. useless. This and the two barracks trucks are sad excuses of military vehicles. The crusader literally just has a camo on it and different bumpers to make it look different than a regular mesa. Those differences should be customizations for the regular mesa imho and we need a proper combat Humvee.

You can put a bomb on it in LSC.

You can use it for stunts without insurance fee.

You can use it to block doors to pose the wheels on your PV glitch for snapmatics.

You can use it for pranking new players.

eh, that doesn't cut it for me. I want it to be a budget insurgent basically, same with the barracks. Right now, they are just novelty vehicles. They should make them personal not Pegasus vehicles aswell..

I feel the same way about many Pegasus vehicles - what's the point in actually owning them?

 

The Crusader is a classic example of a Pegasus vehicle that you can't store, customise or do anything with/to, except call it up and say 'hey, look at me in my fancy Crusader'.

 

At least Rockstar have begun to sort out this Pegasus buying charade, and now let us store 'special' vehicles in our underground bunker below the I/E warehouse, and even customise five of them to an extent. Hopefully the 'Gunrunning' update will allow us to store and customise even more useless Pegasus vehicles.

Indeed, wish rockstar would patch the crusader to a normal vehicle, no reason not to... compared to insurgents.

Got me a crusader a while back in a sale but didnt realy get the pegasus, now i rarely use it like any other pegasus vehicle.

Want it in my offroad garage :)

The insurgent, as do most other suvs are better bang for your buck than this weak and uncustomizable army jeep.

agreed. I wish this thing was like a budget insurgent tho. Better off-road capabilities, bp tires and windows, lots of stopping power and armour plating to withstand more explosions than the executives and other criminals cars, like 2-3 explosions.
