- 3Store it where it spawns near your businesses.
Common mistakes
- Buying multiple overlapping helicopters.
Section 01
The brief
A helicopter changes how long every session feels, but only two or three airframes justify garage space.
- The Sparrow is the best all-round utility helicopter for solo work
- Buzzard is the combat pick; Havok the cheap nimble one
- Spawn location matters more than top speed for travel
Section 02
Recommended route
Buy the budget workhorse first, test it against your usual routes, and only then consider the premium options.
- Keep a Sparrow in the Kosatka for island scoping
- Use a Buzzard from the Terrorbyte or hangar for armed work
- Call in the nearest aircraft rather than the fastest
Section 03
What good looks like
Every destination in your weekly loop is one short flight from anywhere.
- Travel time cut sharply without ever waiting for a spawn
