Should I buy Buzzard?

[aaronBLUEeyes]

While there's a sale going on I've been thinking about snagging a Buzzard.

 

I already own a Savage and Hydra, but I like the fact one can be spawned in during VIP work tho.

 

Should I get it or just pay $25k when I need it in VIP work?

[Yukinoshita]

If you already have an Hydra then buy a Buzzard or an Insurgent. You won't regret it

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

Yes worth every dollar

[IAKSOTOT]

I would if I could afford it. I'm going to surprise my wife character, Meep Mipp, with one when I earn enough blood money. I'm keeping her at a lower level so that her owning a Buzzard is even more incongruous and weird. She's a helluva woman!

Get it, even without the discount you will be saving yourself lots of money. The (free) spawned Buzzard during VIP is addictive and you'll like it, trust me.

No, stop buying things, the game is all about building your bankroll. Ignore the fun things. Keep walking or driving everywhere in free roam.

[Arrows to Athens]

Your choice, brother.

[AUScowboy]

I did. It's really nice to have easy access during vip work, and pretty quick too.

[Furry_Monkey]

If you can afford it without it bankrupting you then I would. It's a lot more fun to fly than the Savage and will get you around the map a lot quicker. Plus, as you say, you can spawn it for free, right next to you. It's worth becoming a VIP just to do that!

[reform]

If you can buy it and still have 7.5+ mil then yeah.

[Hunter]

Unless you fly helicopters a lot, you won't be much more than a flying target.

 

Buy it if you often just want to get from A to B, and there's a lot of distance to cover.

 

I wouldn't overestimate what it can do against players on the ground though. It's not up to much, and that's assuming you can use it really well. If you don't fly that much, you're just a target for homing launchers basically.

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Yes...if youre gonna use it of course

If used...it is realy usefull

[Gridl0k]

If you don't and you hire a bodyguard they will see you are a peasant when all they can spawn is a BeeJay XL.

[Sandpanther]

It's more useful than the Savage for Lester's High Priority Case contact mission, it's also able to land in tighter spaces. Personally, I stick with the big Russian chopper as there's usually a Buzzard always available at a random helipad in FR.

[R3CON]

I was in the same boat some time ago - already owned the Hydra and Savage and was thinking of buying the Buzzard. I ended up doing so and it was such a good decision.

I agree with this for the same reasons. It's a great option to have.

[Con9mm]

Si

[Gridl0k]

The real question is whether you should buy a bus or an airport bus.

[Sugarfoot]

Yes. The buzzard is quick and I use it often in certain missions when I'm cash grinding.

Everyone should own a buzzard, so yeah it get it, it's a no brainer when it comes to VIP work, having a buzzard spawn right next to you is priceless. You can also spawn your bodyguards across the map in one.

[OpenMikeEagle]

Buzzard is worth it! I have yet to get the Savage, so I cant say which is better. Buzzard makes you money for sure!

 

Plus, free delivery while VIP as above stated is huge advantage.

 

Im debating the Savage at the moment. Dont really need it as I have all the flying vehicles I need/want. Dodo, Besra, Hydra, and Buzzard.

[Gridl0k]

^ As you're a man of taste I suggest the Valkyrie before the Savage, assuming you have peeps. In any event the Soviet version of Fortunate Son sucks balls.

[reform]

As far as Vs. players combat goes... the Buzzard isn't really useful aside from those players who have gotten fantastic at it. But it's still totally worth owning for all its' other advantages.

Like this guy says ^^.

 

It depends on how much time you spend being a VIP? If you're a regular Vipper like me, you'll appreciate the Buzzard a lot. And did you mention paying 25k for it? Well once or twice is fine, but not if you're vipping on a regular basis. So make your decision on how much you love living the VIP life.

[TheSniperCat13]

Just bought one using my 10% Lifeinvader discount. Had fun with it blowing up Hydras and police choppers.

[lll-H-I-M-lll]

The money a buzzard can make you ITS NOT A LOSS you wont be skint for long unless its insurance costs.......They can sting you good thing we have a second character to launder cash too

[Gridl0k]

^ The buzzard can dodge homing missiles when you're facing the player, which you should be as you're firing a rocket his direction. Plus it can stay low and not die the death of the lamp-post like the Savage does.

 

I did put in lots of time in it before Heists dropped I guess, but I wouldn't say I'm 'fantastic'.

[IAKSOTOT]

Unless you fly helicopters a lot, you won't be much more than a flying target.

 

That's actually a fun minigame. I like to try and lure people by flying low and landing under bridges. They sometimes show up bringing a SAM to a sniper fight. People in jets flock to that little map symbol too, if you're looking to take a shot at them. The roof of the Merryweather submarine pavilion has a nifty little hidey hole that's perfect for this.

 

Of course, I've been using Air Ambulances and CargoBobs for this, but a Buzzard might even be more fun.

[MikeyDLuffy]

Thinking of getting one for my new second character tomorrow night.

[Simply Logic]

It's a beast in the sky dude. Do you want it?

Yes after you buy a hydra unless your strictly using it for v.i.p then I'd buy one just so you can fly to your hydra quicker thats what I do anyways.
