Choppin' Broccoli in a Buzzard: A (Semi-)Ethical Guide to Helicopter High Jinks in GTA 6
So, you've finally snagged your copy of GTA 6, ripped open the plastic with the manic glee of a raccoon at a Tupperware party, and inhaled the glorious scent of new game code. You're ready to paint Los Santos (or Paradise City, or Neo Vice, who knows anymore?) red, and what better way to do it than from the steel chariot of the gods, a heavily-armed helicopter? But hold on, partner, before you go all John Woo with a minigun, let's talk tactics. Cheating your way to sky supremacy is an art form, a delicate dance between the pixelated police state and your own insatiable desire for airborne mayhem. Buckle up, because we're about to take a joyride through the grey (and sometimes neon) areas of GTA 6's helicopter hijinks.
Helicopter Procurement: Spawn or Steal, That is the Question (and the Answer is Both)
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.![]()

Spawn Like a Spoiled Pigeon: Ah, the classic cheat code, the digital deus ex machina for lazy pilots. Remember the good ol' days of "BUZZOFF" in GTA V? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because things have gotten fancy. In GTA 6, Rockstar's gone full Willy Wonka with the cheat codes. Forget boring text strings, now you gotta solve riddles whispered by seagulls or complete impromptu rap battles with traffic cones. But fear not, intrepid sky pirate, enterprising internet sleuths will crack those codes quicker than a Kardashian cracks open a champagne bottle. Just remember, with great spawn power comes great responsibility (mostly to avoid blowing yourself up by accidentally spawning your Buzzard inside a skyscraper).

Grand Theft Auto: From the Sky: Stealing a helicopter is always the more ahem "authentic" GTA experience. Picture the scene: you're perched on a rooftop, overlooking the glittering sprawl of the city, a cool breeze tousling your mullet. A Buzzard buzzes overhead, its pilot blissfully unaware of the predator below. With a parkour pirouette worthy of Cirque du Soleil, you launch yourself onto the chopper's skids, wrestle the pilot into submission with a flying headbutt (or a well-placed taser), and boom, instant air superiority. Just remember, the learning curve for chopper-jacking can be steeper than Mount Chiliad, so practice on those pesky news choppers first. Besides, who doesn't love the panicked shriek of a weatherman as you plummet them towards the ocean?
Weaponry: From Tickle Cannons to Raining Rockets
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.![]()
-
Tickle Cannons and Pool Noodles: Look, not everyone wants to be a whirling dervish of destruction. Maybe you just want to gently nudge traffic jams into submission with a barrage of rubber duckies. Or perhaps you prefer to serenade the police with a cacophony of airhorns. GTA 6's expanded customization options let you turn your helicopter into a flying clown car of chaos. Just remember, when the cops inevitably show up, your pool noodle arsenal might not cut it.
-
From Minigun Mayhem to Tactical Takedowns: For those who prefer their chaos served with a side of lead, GTA 6's got you covered. From the classic minigun that turns buildings into Swiss cheese to the sneaky-beaky EMP rockets that disable rival choppers mid-flight, there's a weapon for every kind of aerial anarchist. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility (again, mostly to avoid accidentally nuking your own grandma's retirement home).
The Art of the Evasion: From Smoke and Mirrors to Just Plain Outrunning the Law
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.![]()
-
Smoke and Mirrors, Baby: Remember that scene in The Matrix where Neo dodges bullets in slow-motion? Yeah, that's not happening. But GTA 6 does have some pretty nifty evasion tactics. Smoke grenades, chaff countermeasures, even deploying holographic decoys of yourself to confuse the fuzz – it's a veritable arsenal of distractions. Just remember, smoke grenades don't block thermal vision, and those holographic Buzzard clones tend to look a little… blocky.
-
The Need for Speed (and Altitude): Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense (or a really, really fast helicopter). GTA 6's choppers handle like greased weasels on roller skates, allowing you to weave through skyscrapers, skim the ocean waves, and generally make the fuzz look like they're chasing pigeons on rollerblades. Just remember, one wrong turn and you'll be doing the helicopter dance with the pavement.
**So there you have it, folks, a crash course in helicopter high jinks for the discerning GTA 6 player. Remember, the key is to balance your inner Maverick with your inner (not
