The Buckingham Weaponized Conada is a personal aircraft in the game. Players who want to purchase it must first own a Hangar in GTA Online. The helicopter will be stored inside it and can be requested through the Interaction Menu.
Performance of the Buckingham Weaponized Conada
While the GTA Online Weaponized Conada’s detailed performance reports are yet to be shared by the community, many players have stated that its functioning is very much similar to that of the base model Conada. It has a relatively good top speed and handling. Since it lacks a tail rotor, players can easily maneuver the aircraft in tight spaces.
It is powered by twin turboshaft engines and has dual intakes and exhausts. According to the game files, the Weaponized Conada can fly at a top speed of 98.92 mph or 159.20 km/h. However, its actual top-speed details after full customization is still awaited.
Weapons in the Weaponized Conada
Rockstar Games offers two weapons with the new helicopter. GTA Online players can use two .50 caliber Miniguns to shoot down pesky enemies, or they can operate the two missile launchers with and without homing rockets.
Unfortunately, the gaming studio did not provide any defensive features to the Weaponized Conada. The helicopter can be destroyed by a single Sticky Bomb or missile rockets.
