You can now buy the Ocelot Locust in GTA Online, the online mode of GTA 5, for 1.6 million GTA dollars. Who is the purchase worth it for?
This is the new car: On August 29, Rockstar Games introduced new bonuses for the upcoming days and the new ride that players can now buy. The vehicle is the Ocelot Locust sports car. It is part of the many cars Rockstar released in the Casino update.
Visually, it was likely inspired by the Lotus 3-Eleven. (Lotus 3-Eleven on Wiki)
How much does the Locust cost? Interested buyers can purchase the Locust at Legendary Motorsport for 1,625,000 GTA dollars. That’s a hefty price for a sports car.
How well does it handle? The YouTuber Broughy1322 has extensively tested the Locust. In terms of top speed, the car does not perform well, reaching 119.8 Mph, which is as fast as the Jester Classic. In the ranking of top speeds for sports cars, the Locust only comes in at 23rd place. Against the new super sports car Emerus, it stands no chance.
In Broughy’s comparison with the lap times of other sports cars, the Locust ranks 28th. The driving experience is also said to be unusual; a stiff suspension and a tendency to oversteer are part of the driving experience.
Who is the purchase of the Locust worth it for?
Is it worth it for racers? If you enjoy participating in races in GTA Online and are looking for a fast car, you should probably look elsewhere. In tests, the Locust performed rather mediocre, as there are faster sports cars available. Currently, the fastest sports car in GTA Online is the Ocelot Pariah.
In the following video, you can see a direct comparison between the Pariah and Locust. Without tuning, the Locust has an edge, but after tuning on a straight track, it has to give up the first place.
Is it worth it for car collectors? Here, the Locust probably finds its purpose. The car’s design is unique, and it can be further customized with tuning parts.
Conclusion: For car collectors in GTA Online, acquiring the new Ocelot Locust is worthwhile. However, those looking for a fast car for street racing or racing modes will not be satisfied here. Anyone who generally has enough money in their account and can afford the purchase will not go wrong with the Locust. Do you still lack the right money for it? Check here:
What do players say about the Locust?
Players have mixed opinions. Many find the car visually appealing, while others say “it looks like a go-kart.” There is agreement that the car is not among the fastest but could find a place among enthusiasts.
“The handling is good, but it spins quite easily in tight corners,” writes Vjij on Reddit. The community on Reddit shared variations of the Locust, of which we show you a few here:
