The Buzzard Attack Chopper is a light, nimble helicopter with weapons. IGN’s guide says it carries twin machine guns and a rocket launcher, and that the rockets can lock on to police vehicles and other aircraft. It is one of the most useful vehicles in Story Mode because it is both quick to get and well armed.

Where to find it in Story Mode

  • Cheat. PC Gamer and GamesRadar both list the spawn code. Type BUZZOFF in the PC cheat console, or dial 1-999-2899-633 on the in game phone on any platform. A button code is also listed for consoles. PC Gamer warns that large vehicles need plenty of open space around you, or the cheat won’t work.
  • Steal one. IGN’s aircraft guide lists Fort Zancudo as a place to find a Buzzard. Expect a strong military response if you go in.

Using it well

IGN notes the machine guns are not very strong and can be hard to aim, while the lock on rockets do most of the work. Use the rockets against pursuing vehicles and helicopters, and keep the guns for lighter targets.

For heavy lifting there is the Cargobob. For more firepower in the air, Fort Zancudo also holds the Hydra and the P-996 Lazer.
