From fighter jets to luxury passenger planes, the options are by no means limited inGTA Online.

However, one often overlooked option is the helicopter.

To start, players can open up their mobile rig and go to the Eyefind web client.

From here, a list of websites will appear.

To buy a helicopter, players want to hit either Warstock Carry and Cache or Elitas Travel.

These are the two websites that carry helicopters in GTA Online.

As their names suggest, these two sites carry different kinds of helicopters.

If players want to buy a helicopter from Elitas Travel, they’ll need a sizeable amount of cash.

Comparatively, the helicopters on Warstock Carry and Cache are primarily focused on arming players with weapons and armor.

Players can visit the site they feel best suits their needs for a helicopter.

If they don’t have one, then they won’t be able to complete the purchase.

Although, as with any other vehicle in GTA, there are certainly choppers that stand above the rest.

Sparrow

Arguably the most-used helicopter currently in GTA Online is the Sparrow.

This chopper comes with homing missiles as its only weapon and some minor armor.

Players can purchase the Sparrow from Warstock Carry and Cache but it’s paired with the Kostaka Submarine.

It costs $1.8 million, not including the price of the submarine.

Akula

The next chopper on this list is a must-own for any GTA Online player.

The Akula is a weaponized helicopter that comes pre-equipped with heavy armor and weapons.

It also possesses a feature unavailable on any other helicopter in the game.

If players press the right keybind, they’ll activate the stealth mode.

This turns the helicopter invisible on the radar, making players undetectable.

The chopper’s weapons aren’t usable in stealth mode, however.

Players might want to save up for the Akula if they want a fully-stealth vehicle in GTA Online.

Volatus

The Volatus is one of the sleekest and most luxurious helicopters in GTA Online.

It has a top speed of 161 mph, which blows most other helicopters out of the water.

Of course, such a luxury vehicle will cost players.

The main reason for this is the Buzzard’s price, which sits at $1.7 million.
