Where To Find The Military Base & Rhino In GTA 5

GTA V Military Base Infiltration and Rhino Tank Acquisition Guide

Grand Theft Auto V, despite its age, remains incredibly popular. A key reason for its enduring appeal is the continuous addition of new content and updates. This guide focuses on acquiring the coveted Rhino tank from the heavily guarded military base, Lago Zancudo.

Locating Lago Zancudo Military Base

Lago Zancudo is situated south of North Chumash beach. The image above pinpoints its exact location on the map. The base is heavily fortified, surrounded by fences and patrolled by armed personnel. However, there are methods to bypass these defenses.

Infiltrating the Military Base

Air Infiltration: Approaching by air (helicopter or plane) will trigger a two-star wanted level upon entering the airspace. Ignoring this warning escalates to a four-star wanted level, bringing guided missile attacks. A parachute landing might offer a better chance of survival.

Ground Infiltration: A high-speed vehicle is your best bet. Attempt to jump a cliff or hill near the base perimeter, aiming to land between the outer fences undetected. Careful driving can allow you to navigate the base without triggering alarms. Alternatively, a motorcycle might allow you to slip past the main checkpoint if the guard is momentarily distracted.

Acquiring the Rhino Tank

Once inside, locate the Rhino tank. This is more challenging as it's a moving target.

Steps to acquire the Rhino Tank:

1. Engage the Rhino tank with gunfire, then immediately seek cover.
2. Repeat step 1 until the driver abandons the vehicle.
3. Eliminate the driver and claim the Rhino tank.

Be warned: taking the tank instantly grants you a four-star wanted level. Immediately seek refuge in a tunnel to avoid aerial attacks.

Additional Military Vehicles

Beyond the Rhino tank, Lago Zancudo also holds other valuable military vehicles:

• Titan chopper
• Buzzard attack chopper
• P-996 LAZER fighter jet
