I am sure a hacker knows all about rewarding and accomplished behavior. I mean, raping a chick with some mickeys is the same is getting laid right? Same result amirite guys? Nothing like work and not having to do it and get that sweet sweet payoff. :smug:

Buzzard. From what I hear the Savage is a big, fat, weakly armored pig, and the Valk owns but is really only useful with a full crew of 4.

Comedy option: Hydra, because in hover mode it's basically a helicopter :v:

Pubs get jealous of hydras. Hydras are also loads of fun, and an easy tool to get a lazer, if that was somehow more fun?

Just remember a hydra can fly like a lazer, maybe a touch slower, but on PS4 just use right direction to turn the VTOL jets horizontal. This even works for take off.

Helicopters aren't insured though :toot:

Like, I have a million and change so the $6.6k or whatever isn't the end of the world but it's a setback since I'm saving up cash. Basically blowing up some toolbag's kuruma negates selling a car I steal off the street. I don't think they should be removed or whatever, it's just another layer of crap vs someone rolling up in an adder or zentorno where it's a million times easier to shoot them to death


I think I'd prioritize Buzzard > hydra > Insurgent pickup > Valkyrie, based on what I've heard. I get the appeal of the PV insurgent but that bigass gun is so worth it, and it's nice that it can take a lot of damage as you tear up a server.

I actually got dinged for a Savage for insurance, so I dunno. I am on ps4, not sure if that is a bug or what. 11780 or something in that range.

The Savage seems inherently no weaker than the Buzzard (in fact it's harder to shoot the pilot out of it), though I wish it was a bit better armoured against bullets. It is noticeably less agile though, which makes it easier to target. The benefit is the explosive cannon and the no delay on spamming rockets.

The Hydra is really cool but I wish it would count as a helicopter for spawning purposes.

You can toggle between "jet" mode and "hover" mode on it.

It's a chunkier Lazer in jet mode but you can call it anywhere that can spawn a plane.

Insurgents are cool you put Ride of the Valkyries horns on it and just tear rear end across the map.

Jets fly by and shoot at you and you just laugh and keep going. And if they destroy you it's like 16k it's super good.

I really do want the Hydra to spawn at helicopter pads considering its VTOL capabilities but Rockstar probably decided that would be too fun unbalanced.

I tend to get grapeseed or that far north town, paleto bay, helipad, when I call in some things. I know it depends on the vehicle, but I don't feel like there are that few of spots. I usually hit up the marina first just to get a heli, and use that, while in passive, to get and call what I want. It isn't like a hydra spawns close to you anyways. Even at the airport it will typically spawn from the furthest point, near you.

If it's any consolation, the Helipad on the hospital in the Central LA-like area is a fine place to obtain a spawned and free helicopter to get somewhere reasonably fast.

Log in to the console version. They redid something with saved vehicles forever ago (Might have been when they removed peoples police cars and poo poo?) so if you haven't logged in since summer 2014 or so, the new saving method or whatever isn't initialised and as far as the social club thing is concerned you have no cars.

Also that government facility east of Vinewood on the other side of the highway. In SP it spawns a Buzzard, in Online it spawns a Maverick, and you can just climb the building without setting off any alarms or pissing off any cops.

Despite all the Armored Kuruma hate recently I really haven't seen too many of them this week... maybe I'm the minority though.

Also, friendly reminder that all the hackers who got banned 2 weeks ago will be coming off of their ban over the next couple days. This weekend might be a total shitshow, stock up on ammo.
