Editor's Verdict
Is the Ocelot Locust Worth Buying in 2026?
Editor's Take
The Ocelot Locust is a niche purchase at $1,625,000. For similar money, the Grotti Itali GTO Stinger TT ($2,145,000) provides more practical value in most gameplay scenarios. Buy it for the collection factor or personal preference, not competitive advantage.
The Ocelot Locust is 5.3 mph slower than the Pfister Growler at a similar price. For players weighing performance against cost, the value comparison favors whichever better fits their garage gaps.
Best Uses for the Ocelot Locust
Enjoyable to drive around Los Santos in freemode.
For Grinders
Neutral choice for grinders. The Locust doesn't specifically help with money-making, but at $1,625,000 it's a fun vehicle to own once you've established steady income streams. Consider purchasing after your core businesses are fully upgraded.
For Beginners
Consider this a mid-game purchase. Beginners should focus on establishing income first, but the Locust makes a good goal to work toward. The learning curve is moderate, so expect a few hours of practice before you can exploit its full potential in missions and freemode activities.
For Racers
Viable for racing but not optimal. Currently ranked #15 of 76 sports by top speed, the Locust can win races in the right hands, but elite-tier alternatives will have a slight edge on most tracks. It excels on technical circuits where handling matters more than raw top speed, so track selection plays to its strengths.
For PvP Players
The Locust has limited direct PvP applications. For dedicated freemode combat, invest in weaponized vehicles or Imani Tech upgrades instead.
For Collectors
Worth owning for collection completeness, though the Locust isn't particularly rare or prestigious among dedicated collectors. Nice to have in a themed garage, but not a priority purchase unless you're specifically building a Sports show collection.
Bottom line: Buy it for the collection factor or personal preference, not competitive advantage.
How Fast Is the Ocelot Locust?

- Lap Time:Not yet confirmed (Broughy1322 testing)
- Class Rank:#94 in Sports
Handling Tips
- The Locust's exceptional grip lets you brake later into corners than most Sports rivals. This cornering advantage compounds over a full race, often compensating for any top-speed gap.
- With the Locust's responsive steering, use light inputs, aggressive corrections will trigger oversteer that scrubs speed. Smooth, gradual adjustments preserve momentum through every turn.
- In the Locust, tap curbs at the right angle on tight corners for a small speed boost. This curb-boosting technique is widely used in competitive Sports racing.
- Master weight transfer in the Locust: braking loads the front for sharper turn-in, while accelerating plants the rear for better traction out of corners.
When NOT to Buy
- Don't impulse buy at full price. GTA Online has frequent sales - patience can save 30-40%.
