Grand Theft Auto 5 is packed with an arsenal of weapons, but some stand out for their sheer destructive power. Whether you're dominating PvP, taking on heists, or just causing chaos in Los Santos, having the right tools can make all the difference. Here are the 10 most overpowered weapons in GTA 5 and how to get them.

1. Railgun

This beast fires high-velocity rounds that obliterate vehicles and enemies in one shot. It’s banned in multiplayer but available in single-player via the Ammu-Nation shooting range or by completing the "Minor Turbulence" mission.

2. RPG

A classic for a reason, the RPG is perfect for taking down helicopters, tanks, and pesky pursuers. You can buy it from Ammu-Nation at rank 100 or find it in weapon drops during Freemode events.

3. Minigun

Unmatched in raw firepower, the Minigun shreds through anything in its path. Unlock it at rank 120 or complete the "The Paleto Score" heist setup in Story Mode.

4. Heavy Sniper Mk II

Upgraded with explosive rounds, this sniper rifle can one-shot jets and armored vehicles. Modify it at a Weapon Workshop inside an Avenger or Mobile Operations Center.

5. Combat MG Mk II

With high damage and minimal recoil, this LMG is a PvP favorite. Purchase the base model at Ammu-Nation and upgrade it in a Weapon Workshop.

6. Sticky Bombs

Versatile and deadly, Sticky Bombs are perfect for ambushes. Buy them early from Ammu-Nation—no rank restrictions.

7. Widowmaker

This laser-like weapon has unlimited ammo and insane DPS. It’s pricey but available in the Gun Van or via certain GTA 5 accounts with unlocked content.

8. Up-n-Atomizer

A sci-fi pistol that ragdolls enemies and flips cars. Originally a reward for playing Arena War, it’s now sold at Ammu-Nation.

9. Homing Launcher

A must-have for countering jets and helicopters. Unlocked at rank 1, making it great for new players on a GTA 5 account PS5.

10. Assault Shotgun

Devastating at close range, this shotgun is a go-to for indoor combat. Available at Ammu-Nation after reaching rank 45.

Final Tips

Some weapons are locked behind ranks or missions, but trading or accessing pre-upgraded GTA 5 accounts can fast-track your arsenal. Whether you're grinding or buying, these weapons will give you the edge in any firefight.
