GTA 5 Online Heists: Top five DLC weapons revealed

Even as Rockstar Games is yet to finalise the release date for GTA Online Heists, the internet is abuzz with the most-wanted list of emergency vehicles, combat vehicles and ultra-powerful guns for the forthcoming DLC.

In line with the ensuing hype on Heists, renowned YouTuber iCrazyTeddy has discussed the top five weapons for the upcoming DLC in his latest gameplay video for GTA Online.

With just about two weeks left for the release of Heists for GTA Online, it seems about right to speculate the top five tailor-made guns for carrying out some challenging Heist missions in the game.

As iCrazyTeddy admits in his latest gameplay video, the new wishlist of top guns for Heists DLC consists of a few melee weapons, pistols and sniper rifles alongside some miscellaneous weapons that can save your day in GTA 5.

Taser Baton

First up on the list is the taser baton that works similar to the stun gun. It comes in handy for melee attacks or to incapacitate a person by administering an electric shock that disables superficial muscle functions on direct contact.

Tip #1: You will notice Michael using the taser baton to bash a bear in GTA 5 and it takes just a couple of hits to bring down a monstrous beast to its knees, before finishing it off.

Kriss Vector

Next up on the list is the Kriss Vector gun, which is a submachine gun (SMG) that debuted in GTA 4 with the arrival of mods. The same gun is also featured in the Call of Duty: Ghosts and is known for its low recoil and very high firing rate.

Tip #2: You may notice Franklin using this weapon in the single-player mode of GTA 5, and it comes in as a handy weapon for a close range combat while taking out guards in any bank Heist mission.

Barra: Semi-Auto Sniper Rifle

Barra, the new semi-auto sniper rifle is the long-range weapon of choice for Heist missions in GTA 5, as it is built for maximum damage per every single round fired from the gun.

44 Magnum Revolver

The .44 magnum revolver is the weapon of choice for close range combat given its high stopping power with decent penetration capability.

Thermite Bomb

Last on the list of the highly-favoured weapons for Heists would be the Thermite Bomb, which comes in handy to break open the strong rooms and metal vaults, during a bank heist.

The Thermite Bomb melts the targeted objects or blows up containers by incinerating them at the time of activation.
