This is the worst vehicle in the game, period. I still hate myself for using it in the Casino Heist finale.

This thing is beyond gutless, its a glorified PostOp Van with bullet-resistant windows.

 

I was heisting with @Halal Cyborg the other day and this thing was our getaway vehicle. Although I wasn't driving it, it felt exactly like a PostOp van. We were going uphill through the narrow roads of Vinewood hills during our escape & it felt like it had no juice left in the tank. Our slow adventure eventually came to a halt once we encountered a roadblock by a NOOSE truck in said narrow roads. It couldn't push the truck at all, not even a teeny tiny bit. I abandoned ship once it became obvious we're not getting through & secured an FIB Granger on the other side of the roadblock to continue our escape.

 

This thing is a colossal waste of money and the dude have the nerves to ask for a 10% cut.

I didn't know RUNE was a manufacturer that specialized in meme vehicles.

Apparently the original has 44 HP so that would be realistic. https://sherpatv.com/

 

BTW, Chester McCoy is also a terrible choice for gunman.

f*ck. Are they using a lawnmower engine?

Very.

 

One time things went south & we had to shoot our way in, I ran out of bullets (SMG mkII) on our way back to the elevator.

I'd rather have the guy with the Micro SMG, at least he gives us enough ammo ... And he charges 5%.

 Don't care. 

 

Still buying this crap. 

There is a number of cars which are absolutely useless and have no practical use in missions, but I still buy them because I just like them or they look cool. Same thing here. Hell, I might never ever use it, but I'll buy one. 

 

It's a great ugly box that has been shoved into the wrong game. There is no practical use to it in GTA, aside from being amphibious. It's something that belongs to Spintires or Some North Exploration Simulator game.

Driving this thing around causes a lot of NPCs to scream in terror despite not having any wweapons aimed or anything. Even the NPCs think it's bad.

Alright, lets see the first one with F1 wheels on this floating box.... Come on someone had to do it right?

Even if you're a billionaire, you should have some very specific reasons to buy it. Whatever this thing does, some vehicle does all of it better. The components are nice, if we treat them separately: amphibious, bullet-resistant glass, can take a lot of explosives. But together it just makes no sense: APC is armed, cheaper, floats, seats the same amount of people yet manages to be faster and can ram anything in its way.

 

The main cons are: extremely (seriously, Post Op like) underpowered, bad climber, can't ram anything, even a small car, turns like hell.

I went from thinking this was stupid, to thinking I may need more than one:

  • Arctic camo version for the snow
  • Bright orange version for Arctic Research look
  • Dolla Dolla livery and dollar bill rims for extra trolling effect

I just wish it was about $750,000 cheaper

For me it's 1.8 since I was stupid enough to use it as a getaway vehicle.

May get it to park near LSC with ignition bomb fitted. But still, dubsta is much more interesting.

I was interested to buy this to satisfy my curiosity, but going by what you folks are reporting here, I won't even touch it.

 

I can stand it's ugliness and the awkward handling if it at least had enough power to be useful as a getaway vehicle, you see the Khanjali isnt so fast but it has torque enough to be a battering ram and can push anything away, but apparently this thing can't even push other cars out of the way if it's going up a hill???

 

What is this bullsh*t? I don't give a f*ck if it's realistic that it has a lawnmower engine but for f*cks sake, in this game your getaway vehicle, NEEDS power to, well get away!

 

Plus the price tag, way too expensive even with the trade price

 

EDIT: I bought it and I hate myself for it.

Mate, it can't push other cars even when it's going downhill. This thing is not going uphill, period. At least, not in the snow. @IceDree is right with bringing Post Op into the comparison, it goes 70mph top. 

 

I've managed to escape cops with it, but I'm not going to do that again even for 5 million payout.

I have the trade price on my main too but it’s a character two vehicle for sure (I buy everything)

RUNE is not a brand to get new cars often, and It's not meant to. But I hoped it would get at least something useful. Looks like not this time.

The f*ck man, where's the torque of this thing? This is insane!!!

 

The Khanjali can do like 60mph when maxed out, but holy f*ck it can push everything out of the way and even push trucks from a standstill, same deal with the APC.

 

Realism be dammed in this case, this car needs to be functional

I need to remember which Benny's wheels become incredibly thin when you put whitewalls on them and then merge those onto a Zhaba. (EDIT: They are OG Hunnets.)

IMO it's very fitting with the RUNE *brand* except for price.

It's fitting, but it's not functional.  Barracks OL type armored weaponless version of Chernobog would be as fitting, but more useful.

Meh, I don't necessarily buy the usefulness argument. How useful is the Cheburek? The vast majority of vehicles in GTA aren't useful.

 

The Zhaba is a meme vehicle. That is OK. People just wanted the Sultan Classic more.

Absolutely the worst vehicle I've ever bought. Painfully slow, useless for anything, not even usefull for cargo or combat missions. Looks terrible. Has those awful monster truck controls.

 

They released a couple of fun vehicles recently and they didnt even try with this. MINIMAL effort in customisation options.

 

Absolutely TERRIBLE vehicle.

This is exactly the thing it seems. People are upset that they didn't get the Sultan Classic this week, so are taking it out on the Zhaba.

All the complaints are kind of pointless, the real life Sherp isn't meant to go fast(it has a top speed of 45kmh/28mph) or push vehicles out of the way, it's an all terrain vehicle, not a tank or sports car.

 

The price complaints, however, are pretty valid. It shouldn't be priced anywhere near as high for what it is.

Anyway this big truck that can drive on land or water...... will be handy for some of those Contact Missions. (like diamonds are for Trevor)
