Everything about the Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper in GTA Online – Price, design, and more

The Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper first appeared in The Ballad of Gay Tony. However, due to its popularity, it was introduced in GTA Online as an inspiration from the real-life AH-6 attack helicopter based on the MH-6 Little Bird.

The aircraft's visual appearance is quite similar to its previous iteration and shares most design characteristics with it. Here are some of the major parts and components of the chopper:

• Compact fuselage
• Bubble glass canopy
• Curved front face
• A small circular front light that can be toggled off/on
• Working large-FLIR cameras and searchlight pods
• Curved side doors
• Open sides in the middle section that can hold two rear occupants
• Two small, slightly cut-out stub wings
• Two side steps
• Short skids with tall struts
• The elevated section on top
• Four small fins
• Large circular exhaust on the rear side of the fuselage
• Relatively small tail boom
• Tail rotor on the left side of the tail boom
• A single horizontal stabilizer on its right side

Unlike the TBoGT version, the Buzzard Attack Chopper is not a prototype but issued for military use and law enforcement. Even NPC pilots can use the chopper's searchlight and aim it at players.

The aircraft is further equipped with usable rocket launchers and miniguns. It can be purchased from the Warstock Cache & Carry in-game website for a price of $1,750,000.

Is it worth getting the Buzzard Attack Chopper in GTA Online in 2022?

In GTA Online, the Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper runs on a turboshaft engine, making it a quick and maneuverable machine. Despite having a smaller body size, it is still one of the fastest helicopters in the game, and can easily reach approximately 135 knots.

Its compact body makes it the perfect choice when looking to land in smaller areas, and it can also land on uneven terrain despite the short skids.

Its quick maneuverability allows players to easily avoid enemy-homing missiles, but they should note that a single, direct hit can do a lot of damage to it. The Nagasaki Buzzard Attack Chopper is best suited for offensive use due to its armed weaponry, such as:

• Machine Gun: The Buzzard’s miniguns are extremely powerful and can destroy enemy aircraft and vehicles within a couple of seconds.
• Missiles: The rocket launchers can fire both unguided and guided missiles with a short reload time after every two missiles in quick succession.
