How to Get the Stun Gun in GTA Online (2026)

GTA Online features hundreds of weapons, but the Stun Gun is different from the rest. This non-lethal weapon fires an electrical probe that temporarily incapacitates targets instead of killing them. When you hit someone with it, they receive thousands of volts of electricity and drop to the ground for a few seconds.
The Stun Gun works like a real taser, shooting out a projectile that delivers an electric shock. It's useful when you want to take down NPCs or other players without actually killing them, which can be helpful for specific missions or situations where you need to avoid raising your wanted level.
In this article, we'll explain how to get the Stun Gun in GTA Online, what you need to unlock it, and when it makes sense to use it over other weapons.

How to Get the Stun Gun

The Stun Gun isn't sold at regular Ammu-Nation stores. You need to purchase it from the Agency's Armory, which requires owning an Agency property first.
Here's how to get it:
Open your in-game phone or any computer and access the Dynasty 8 Executive website.
Purchase an Agency property. Four locations are available: Little Seoul ($2,010,000), Vespucci Canals ($2,145,000), Rockford Hills ($2,415,000), or Hawick ($2,830,000). Little Seoul is the cheapest option.
Buy the Armory upgrade for your Agency. This costs an additional $720,000 and gives you a private weapons dealer.
Go to the top floor of your Agency and enter the Armory. You'll find the Requisitions Officer there.
Select Pistols from the weapon categories and scroll to the bottom of the list. The Stun Gun costs $375,000 ($356,250 if you own the Agency).
There's an alternative method that's cheaper but less reliable. The Gun Van occasionally sells the Stun Gun when it rotates into the weekly inventory. This doesn't require an Agency, but you need to check the Gun Van's location each week and hope the weapon is available.

When to Use It
The Stun Gun became extremely useful after the Bottom Dollar Bounties update because capturing bounty targets alive pays significantly more than killing them. If you kill a target, you lose 75% of the reward money.
Here are the best situations to use it:
Bounty Hunting missions. When you track down a target, shoot them with the Stun Gun to incapacitate them, then secure and transport them alive to the Bail Office. The extra payout makes the weapon's high price worth it for regular bounty hunters.
Stealth heist approaches also benefit from the Stun Gun. It's given to players during the Silent & Sneaky approach of the Diamond Casino Heist, and you can use it in similar missions where you need to take down guards quietly without triggering alarms.
The weapon has serious limitations. It only works within 10-11 meters, so you need to get close to your target. After each shot, it takes 12 seconds to recharge, which means you can't use it for rapid takedowns or during consistent firefights. If you miss your shot or face multiple enemies, you'll need to switch to any other weapon.

Final Words
The Stun Gun costs a lot to unlock when you factor in the Agency purchase and Armory upgrade, but it's worth the investment if you run bounty hunting missions regularly. The 75% reward penalty for killing targets makes non-lethal captures far more profitable, and the Stun Gun is the most reliable way to take them down alive.
