Grand Theft Auto: Undercover and Under the Radar
So you want to ditch the flashy supercars and cruise the streets unnoticed, blending in with the LSPD like a chameleon with a squad car paint job? Well, fret no more my friend, for this guide will turn you from a neon-lit outlaw to a stealthy secret agent (minus the actual secret agent stuff, that's a whole other felony). We're talking about acquiring that most coveted of vehicles: the unmarked police car.
How To Get Undercover Car In GTA 5 |
Why the Unmarked Police Car?
- Feeling like a boss: Roll up to a crime scene and have the criminals be all, "Hey, isn't that... one of us?" Confusion reigns!
- Pulling off the ultimate heist: Just casually park your undercover car right outside the bank, because who would suspect a police cruiser? (Disclaimer: This advice is for fictional heists only. Please don't rob actual banks)
- Confusing the ever-loving daylights out of everyone: Imagine the look on a random NPC's face when you hop out of an unmarked car and start yelling about jaywalking. Pure. Comedy. Gold.
Alright, Alright, How Do I Get This Magical Machine?
There are two main ways to snag yourself an unmarked police cruiser, depending on whether you're playing GTA 5 story mode or GTA Online.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.![]()
Story Mode: Barry's Broken Bargain
This method involves a little glitch and a friendly fellow named Barry. Here's the lowdown:
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.![]()
- Befriend Barry: Complete the "Grass Roots" mission for Barry in Sandy Shores.
- Mission: Impossible (But With More Explosions): During the mission, you'll be tasked with delivering a vehicle. Here's the key part: You'll find a few unmarked police cars chilling around the pickup point.
- Borrow and Never Return: Get in one of those beauties, and you'll promptly get a two-star wanted level. Don't sweat it! Just drive a bit, lose the cops, then destroy the truck you were supposed to deliver. (This is the glitchy bit) The game will register the mission as failed, but hey, guess what? You keep the car!
Important Note: This unmarked car can't be stored in your garage or pimped out at Los Santos Customs. But hey, it's still pretty darn cool.
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.![]()
GTA Online: Earning Your Stripes (and Siren)
This route is a bit more straightforward, but requires a little hustle.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.![]()
- Wanted: Not-So-Model Citizen: Rack up a cool three-star wanted level. Just be careful not to become a hood ornament in the process.
- Cops and Choppers (and Eventually, Cars): Survive for a glorious five minutes with the fuzz on your tail. This might involve some fancy driving, strategic hiding spots, or a healthy dose of "cheat codes" (wink wink).
- Congratulations, You've Earned... More Trouble?: Once that five-minute mark is hit, you'll be gifted (or more accurately, allowed to purchase) an unmarked police car on the Warstock Cache & Carry website.
Bonus Tip: While you're griefing the po-po to earn your car, you might also snag a regular police cruiser this way. It's all about options, baby!
There you have it, my friends! With a little effort and maybe a dash of chaos, you'll be cruising the streets of Los Santos undercover and under the radar. Remember, with great undercover power comes great responsibility... to use said power for absolutely hilarious, non-criminal purposes.
