Learn how to get the powerful Rhino Tank in Grand Theft Auto III — The Definitive Edition. Find locations, stats, and use cheat codes.

Alright, so you're looking to get your hands on the Rhino Tank in Grand Theft Auto III — The Definitive Edition? This thing is a beast, and while it's not exactly something you stumble upon in a back alley, there are a few solid ways to get it. We'll cover how to find it in the game world, what its specs are, and even how to spawn it in if you're in a hurry (but be careful with those achievements!).

First off, let's talk about the tank itself. It's a serious piece of hardware, and knowing its capabilities can help you decide if it's worth the effort to track down.

So, as you can see, it's not the fastest vehicle on the road, but who needs speed when you've got a cannon? It's built for destruction, not for racing.

Rhino Tank Locations

Now, how do you actually get this bad boy into your garage? There are a couple of main ways:

  • Import/Export Side Mission: The Rhino Tank is actually required for the 'Portland Docks Emergency Vehicles' Import/Export side mission. You can find it at Phil Cassidy’s Army Surplus after you've completed the story mission called 'The Exchange'. So, keep that mission in mind as a trigger point.
  • Stealing from the Army: If you're feeling brave and want to go for the high-risk, high-reward option, you can try to steal it from the army. This usually happens when you've got a 6-star wanted level. Good luck with that!

Beyond those in-game methods, there's also the option to use cheat codes. These are super handy if you just want to mess around or need the tank for a specific reason without the hassle of finding it. However, a big heads-up here: using cheat codes will disable trophies and achievements for that save file. So, if you're an achievement hunter, you might want to stick to a separate save file for your cheating adventures.

CheatCode (Xbox)

CheatCode (Playstation)

Remember to input these codes carefully. If you're playing on PC, the codes might be different, so double-check those if you're not on a console.

Pro Tip: If you're going for the 'steal from the army' route, make sure you're prepared. Having a high wanted level means a lot of police attention, so bring your best weapons and maybe a fast getaway car (though you'll be ditching it for the tank!).
