Gangster Nation has over 250 vehicles. You can obtain these vehicles through the Vehicle Theft crime and many other ways. All vehicles you have are stored in your garage.
Vehicle stats
Each vehicle has a number of stats. To view a vehicle's full list of stats and take actions with the vehicle, press the vehicle name.
- Status: Shows whether your vehicle is in use (e.g. in a Trade or Auction). When a vehicle is in use you can't perform most actions against it or use it elsewhere.
- Source: Where you originally obtained the vehicle from (e.g. Vehicle Theft, Scratch & Win).
- Value: The actual value of your vehicle right now taking into account any mods or damage.
- 0-60 Mph: How fast your vehicle accelerates, relevant for Missions and Heists. This can be improved using car mods.
- Max speed: Your vehicle's max speed, relevant for Missions and Heists. This can be improved using car mods.
- Cargo: How much cargo your vehicle can hold, relevant for Missions and Heists. This can be improved using mods.
- Damage: Your vehicle's damage as a percentage. You can repair your vehicle to reduce the damage back to 0%.
- Locked: Whether your vehicle is locked. You can toggle the lock to prevent accidental actions on your vehicle.
- Insured: Whether your vehicle is insured. More details on vehicle insurance can be found below.
- Transferable: Whether your vehicle can be transferred. Most vehicles can be transferred but vehicles obtained from things such as special events may be non-transferrable.
- First owner: Whether you're the first owner of this vehicle. You're the first owner if you didn't obtain the vehicle from another player (e.g. Trade Center or player-created auctions in the Auction House).
Garage limit
You start with a garage limit of 5 vehicles, this can be upgraded in the Black Market up to a maximum of 100 vehicles.
Insurance
Insuring a vehicle enables you to keep it even if you die. The vehicle has to be in your garage and available at the time of death. Insurance doesn't work between rounds and doesn't protect your vehicle from being abandoned in a heist.
To insure a vehicle, press the vehicle's name, then toggle the Insurance switch. There's a one-off charge of $250,000 per insured vehicle.
When a vehicle transfers from one player to another (whether through the Trade Center, Auction House or Family Garage), the insurance is lost.
Vehicle actions
Sell
You can sell a vehicle for its current value which is shown on the Garage screen. A vehicles value decreases as its damage % increases. You can view the maximum value of all cars on the vehicles page linked above. You can also select multiple vehicles at once to sell and there is no limit on how many you can select.
Crush
You can crush vehicles for bullets, this is an important way to gain extra bullets. The number of vehicles you can crush is limited, this starts at 1 vehicle per hour but can be upgraded in the Black Market up to a maximum of 10 vehicles per hour depending on your level.
Higher cost vehicles crush for more bullets. There are a few ways to yield additional bullets from a vehicle:
- Repairing the vehicle.
- Apply certain mods to the vehicle (more details below).
- Crushing during a Crush Rush event.
Scrap
You can scrap a vehicle to receive Mod Coins which can be exchanged in the Black Market for Vehicle Mods.
You receive 1 Mod Coin for each $2,000 of the vehicle's original (0% damage) value with the following adjustments:
- A 1% reduction in coins for every 2% in damage.
- A 50% reduction in coins for vehicles of which you're not the first owner.
When you scrap a vehicle, it's disposed of and cannot be recovered.
Repair
After stealing a vehicle, your vehicle will usually have some level of damage. Your vehicle can also pick up further damage after being used in a heist. If your vehicle damage reaches 100%, you'll lose the vehicle. You can repair a vehicle to reduce its damage back to 0%.
The cost to repair a vehicle is based on it's 0% damage value (which in turn is based on the model and mods applied), and how damaged the vehicle is.
Gift or Auction
You can transfer and auction vehicles from your garage. When transferring vehicles this is done at no cost to the receiver so make sure you trust them if you expect to be paid. When auctioning the vehicles you can choose how long you want the auction to last, the minimum bid and whether you wish to stay anonymous for it. When choosing the minimum bid you can choose to list the vehicles at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 or 2.5 times the vehicles value. You can also set a custom amount which will apply to all the vehicles. When auctioning vehicles, you will lose 10% of the final bid as a tax. For example, if your vehicles sell for $1m, you will receive $900k.
Vehicle mods
Vehicle mods are special items which can be installed on a vehicle, effecting things like the vehicle's stats, the crush yield and how the vehicle works with other features.
Each vehicle supports up to 10 mods.
Restrictions
- A modded vehicle cannot be transferred. If the vehicle was transferable to begin with, you can uninstall the mods to make it transferable again.
- A modded vehicle cannot be tuned, as mods are designed to replace tuning in the long term. You can uninstall the mods to make it tunable again.
- A damaged vehicle cannot have mods installed or uninstalled. You must repair the vehicle before changing your mods.
Acquiring mods
Your mods can be found in your Inventory.
You can acquire mods from the following places:
- Looting
- Scrapping unwanted vehicles for Mod Coins which can be exchanged in the Black Market
Some mods are exclusive to one place or the other.

Mods don't compound, they're applied against the vehicle's original stats. For example, if you have a vehicle with a max speed of 100 Mph and add two mods, one increasing the max speed by 25% and the other increasing the max speed by 50%, the total final max speed would be 175 Mph (not 187.5 Mph).
Vehicle tuning
Vehicle tuning is the legacy way of increasing a vehicle's speed and acceleration, being superseded by vehicle mods. This feature will remain on the game while vehicle mods are integrated fully and balanced.
It's recommended to always use mods for Heists, since Tuning offers no additional advantage and comes with the risk of losing your vehicle before even attempting your heist.
Tuning can be useful for certain Missions. A vehicle can be tuned up to 10 times and each time costs $15,000. However there's a chance of your vehicle exploding, this chance increases each time you tune the vehicle. The chance of a vehicle exploding is the same for all vehicles, its value and damage doesn't matter.
Important: When you tune a vehicle, you can no longer mod it.
Tune | Chance of explosion |
---|---|
1st | 0% |
2nd | 1% |
3rd | 2% |
4th | 6% |
5th | 10% |
6th | 16% |
7th | 24% |
8th | 32% |
9th | 40% |
10th | 50% |
