In terms of performance, the Savage possesses an impressive top speed of 144.50 mph (232.55 km/h). It also comes equipped with a rapid-fire explosive cannon that can annihilate targets in seconds, making it one of the best helicopters GTA Online players should not miss out.

Fourth-generation Nissan Patrol

Apartments are purchasable properties that act like Safehouses. Featured on the Dynasty 8 website at a flat 30% off, players can save tons of money if they buy one in GTA Online this week.

Up to a total of 10 different apartments can be purchased by players, so even if you own one, this is the best time to invest in another property. Buying it will give access to more storage for vehicles, meaning it's perfect for those who own a lot of automobiles in the game.

For the next couple of days, one can own an apartment for as low as $84,700.
