Maverick in GTA 5


The Maverick is a civilian helicopter in GTA V manufactured by Buckingham.


This vehicle is a 4-door civilian helicopter that can accommodate 4 persons including the pilot. It can be purchased for $780,000 from Elitas Travels on the internet. However, you will need to have purchased a helipad before you purchase the helicopter. The Maverick is also known to be a Police Maverick and can be seen in the skies of San Andreas patrolling or sometimes chasing a vehicle in random events.

Design and Performance


When purchased, the helicopter comes in black and white stripes. It has three rear seats and one pilot seat. It is very similar to the Bell 206L LongRanger which is also two-bladed like the Maverick. Right above the pilot's seat on the body of the helicopter is the lettering “MAVERICK”. The interior has the standard aircraft instruments set with all the different meters and indicators.

It is powered by a single turboshaft engine and has great handling. Even though it is only twin bladed, its performance is at par. It has a good top speed and is very durable in the air. It takes off within around 4 seconds of entering the aircraft.

Modifications


This vehicle cannot be modified in GTA V Story mode.


Prominent appearance in missions

  1. During "Unknowing the Truth", a special baby blue variant of the Maverick is used to pick up the money. The helicopter can be obtained by shooting out the pilot when it lands.
  2. A Maverick is used in the Roof approach of "The Bureau Raid" to transport Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton to the FIB Headquarters. This helicopter is later shot down by a Buzzard Attack Chopper in which it crashes into the building, hindering the crew's progress.
  3. During "The Construction Assassination", Enzo Bonelli uses a Maverick to escape.


Locations

  1. It is available for purchase on Elitás Travel for $1,100,000. It spawns in black and white.
  2. Green variants are used by most pilots in parachuting locations marked around the map, like the one in La Puerta. Tapping the enter button near it will make the character enter the back and go for the parachute jump, but holding the button will make the character hijack the helicopter.


Trivia

  1. The Maverick is one of the few vehicles that underwent manufacturer change throughout the series, with it being Western Company branded in GTA IV, and manufactured by Buckingham in GTA V.
  2. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Maverick is the last vehicle seen in the game, hence making it the last vehicle non-chronologically shown in the 3D Universe.
  3. In GTA San Andreas, the helicopter's blades do not show frames when they are rotating in all versions except the PS2.
