Today’s GTA 5 Online Gun Van is parked in San Andreas, west of the city. It’ll be there until 12am CT, after which it’ll relocate to one of the 23 previously visited areas. This week, you might want to find it to buy a Railgun, one of the best guns in GTA.

The Gun Van is one of the only ways to get certain rare guns in GTA Online like the Railgun. You want to check the Gun Van at least once a week so you can get geared for whatever heist and mission the game throws at you.

The Gun Van in GTA 5 is a standard-looking gray van. Its icon appears on the map as you get close to its parked location, and it’s usually the only vehicle around. Simply approach it and interact with the bald man at the back to begin shopping. If you can’t find it at first, simply try joining a new session to refresh your current instance. This should make the gun van pop up correctly.

You can shop three categories:

  • Weapons, which includes firearms and melee weapons.
  • Throwables, like bombs and molotovs.
  • Body Armor, to protect yourself against other weapons.

The Gun Van in GTA 5 Online is a unique arms dealer offering exclusive weapons unavailable anywhere else in the game, not even at Ammu-Nation. To keep things interesting and players engaged, Rockstar switches up its location daily and updates its inventory of weapons and equipment weekly. This constant variation ensures players remain intrigued and return for more. For instance, I snagged my rare Railgun there after several days of cash farming.

You’ll also find discounts on these weapons, typically ranging from 10 to 40 percent, with the exact discount depending on the item and whether you have a GTA+ subscription.
