Blau & Lights: Cruising the Streets incognito (Well, Kinda) - Your Guide to the Unmarked Police Car in GTA 5
Ever feel the urge to pull over a pesky motorist who keeps cutting you off in their souped-up sports car? Or maybe you fancy yourself an undercover detective, ready to crack the latest Los Santos crime ring (emphasis on "crack," not actually solving crimes). If your answer is "heck yeah" (or something a little less printable), then you, my friend, need the unmarked police car in your life.
But hold your horses (or should I say, Impound these horses?) because obtaining this elusive vehicle isn't exactly a walk in the park. There's more to it than just strolling down to the nearest LSPD recruitment office and flashing a charming smile (although that might get you arrested, which would be a whole other kind of adventure).
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.

Two Paths Diverge in the Los Santos Freeway: Online vs. Story Mode
Now, buckle up because we're about to navigate the ever-confusing world of GTA mods and in-game mechanics. Here's the deal: snagging an unmarked police cruiser depends on whether you're playing GTA 5's story mode or the wild west that is GTA Online.
Tip: Bookmark this post to revisit later.
Story Mode: Sorry, Charlie (But Here's a Fun Fact!)
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
Look, let's not sugarcoat it. In story mode, acquiring an unmarked police car is basically impossible without mods. The developers haven't exactly made it easy for us law-enforcement enthusiasts. But hey, fun fact! Did you know that during a police chase, if you manage to knock a police car into a tight spot and get it stuck, you can sometimes climb on top and enter the passenger seat? It's a temporary thrill ride, sure, but hey, gotta take what you can get in the land of no unmarked cruisers.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
GTA Online: Buckle Up for Bureaucracy (and Crime)
Ah, GTA Online. Where the cops are just another obstacle and the real challenge is navigating the labyrinthine world of online purchases. Here's the scoop:
-
Become a Master Criminal (Reluctantly): You'll need to unlock the ability to buy police vehicles, which requires completing a series of missions for a shady character named Lester. In essence, you gotta break the law to get the tools to pretend to uphold it. Isn't Los Santos a wonderful place?
-
Welcome to Warstock Cache & Carry, Your One-Stop Shop for Questionable Vehicles: Once you've proven your "criminal mettle" (air quotes very much intended), you can browse the fine selection of military hardware and, more importantly, unmarked police cars on the Warstock Cache & Carry website.
-
Empty Your Bank Account (Virtually, of Course): These undercover rides don't come cheap. Be prepared to shell out a small fortune (in-game dollars, obviously) to snag your unmarked cruiser.
The Fine Print: A Few Words of Caution (and Maybe Some Mischief)
-
Don't Push Your Luck: While the unmarked car allows for a certain level of anonymity, don't expect to be invisible. If you start rolling around harassing civilians with your sirens blaring, well, the jig will be up faster than you can say "busted."
-
Embrace the Inner Cop (or Not): Use your unmarked cruiser for good or evil, that's the beauty (or perhaps the moral ambiguity) of GTA. Pull over reckless drivers, become a vigilante, or use the car to set up some truly epic police chases. The possibilities are endless!
-
A Word on Mods (for PC Players Only): While mods aren't supported by Rockstar, PC players have a whole other world of possibilities when it comes to acquiring unmarked cars. But that's a conversation for another day (and a different website entirely).
So there you have it, my friends. Your not-so-secret guide to obtaining the unmarked police car in GTA 5. Now get out there, hit the streets, and remember: with great undercover power comes great responsibility (or, you know, the potential for hilarious mayhem).
