gtaocicat Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I've quite often called the helicopter and helped deliver the package that way, but yes a fair number of times the player who grabbed the package just gets in a car and drives. Â One time after calling the helicopter someone else shot the pilot before I could and all 4 of us got in to go....except the dumbass pilot managed to crash into a building and killed us all it wasn't even one of the skyscrapers in the town, it was a lone tall building near the drop-off point. Â I don't usually bother getting the helicopter if playing with others now. you ever think of just calling your copter from pegasus? it spawns less than 2 blocks away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkangel Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I can make it faster in my fully modded Turismo or Adder than the time it takes for the helicopter to get there and to fly it. Also, it's very annoying when you are going at the mission and one person stands off to the side and calls the helicopter and doesn't partake in getting the document, i like one person on either side so the document doesn't drive away. If you could start the mission in a helicopter or with one right next to the "roof" waiting for you, i would be all for it. I've grinded the mission probably 100 times or more and i really think the driving, if you can drive is faster and the chase cars arent annoying enough that you are safer in the helli.

MadHaTT3R Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 When I play it solo, I drive it. Its way faster than getting a chopper. When I play it with others, I call my own chopper which lands at the hospital and then one of us goes for the chopper while the rest get the case. They meet me on top of the building and off we go. Much rather be in the air than have some hot dog who thinks he can drive and really can't lose the case halfway there. Ive done it a few different ways and they all work. Hardly a right way to do it at any rate. To each his own and if a low level guy can't figure it out or worse is like this kid I did it with last night who knew everything about everything and still died every run through, patience is a must. just be prepared to be on your own and get er done.

Foppezão Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) I order the buzzard, pick it up at the hospital, and shoot some missiles on both sides of the building.More challenging is to shoot through the windows, free aim usually works better than locked target, and lookout to not shoot the cars in the middle.After that I might have to cap a couple of guys but then it's a short trip to Martin.

gtaocicat Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Is that 6m from freeroam to mission and then back to free roam including loading times or just the the mission? well its longer than that since it lags in between free roam and the mission on me . but its about 6 mins form the start to when i hit the yellow marker with the chopter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Chains4Bracelets Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I know a lot of people are hung up with my other thread about Shark Cards.... but I wanted to ask why don't people call the merry weather helicopter while doing Rooftop Rumble?  It only costs $1,000 and MORE than makes up for the time it takes to complete the mission. So you basically make $17,750, but you finish it so fast that you can make more per hour (for people who grind) than you would by NOT calling for the helicopter.  Worse yet, when I do call for the helicopter nobody ever uses it.... some people don't even see it (that's fine, no problem)... but I've had many other people run up to it or see it (right in their line of sight) and it seems like they make it a point to avoid it and get in their car and drive.... meanwhile I fly to the house and wait there for a good 2-4 minutes for them to show up.  Only ONCE (I'm not exaggerating) have I had a random get in the helicopter  I even had one player call me a cheater when he arrived to the house to find me there waiting with the helicopter.... I love calling the Merrywether chopper! Matter of fact, I grind the mission solo, and as soon as I grab the case I run out to the street to call the chopper (of course armed and ready to take on the imminent SUVs). The reason I prefer grabbing the chopper is because I haaate the repetitive drive to Madrazo's house, and find it very annoying to do after grinding the mission a million times. When I call the chopper and get in, I can go to the bathroom, crack open a new beer, or goof around on my computer- in other words I appreciate the short break in action and don't mind dropping a grand out of the ~20g's you make every 6 minutes doing the run this way.

redpoint Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If you have a super car its really not much faster. esp since you have to wait for the pilot to get there instead of killing the guys and grabbing the briefcase. Its only faster if there are 3 people and the other 2 are getting the briefcase while you are getting the heli. No the helicopter is MUCH faster, you save sh*tloads of time by not trying to avoid the SUVs on the way up, plus those curvy hill roads near the end make it longer.

Cudwieser Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 6 and 6 imo. The grangers are avoidable if you keep your eyes on the road, just the yokels blind siding you is the issue. A tuned jester and a concentrated run can see you from pick up to madrazos in a minute to a minute and a half (as much to banzai the enemies at the pick up if not less). In saying that if someone has a bit of foresight and a couple of friends then a chopper is insanely quick (2 minutes is the fastest with organisation), but if you are solely responsible for logistics you'd be half way to martins by simply letting rip and driving than if you wasted 30 secs to call the chopper and another 30 secs to climb up to get it and take off. if you add the time to kill and retrieve then you will already be at your destination before yourself in the chopper (if that makes sense).

MrKush Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I've taken the chopper a few times. Mostly just drive. Unless OP has timed himself on numerous occasions, both the time it takes to drive as well as fly the document to MDRZA, then broke down the mathematics & presented THAT to us, I dont think I'll be persuaded to use the Chopper in RR anymore than I already do. It's just no big deal. Â In games, whenever I've had to 'grind' or 'farm' some type of currency, its never really been all that fun (enjoyable enough tho), hence why its a 'grind' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
