The Maverick is based on the [[wp:Bell 206|Bell 206]] L Longranger, but the GTA IV rendition features four blades on its main rotor, similar to the [[wp:Bell 407|Bell 407]], but retaining the body design of previous Mavericks (pre-release material such as [[television]] footage, suggests GTA IV's Maverick was originally intended to retain its two blade rotor). | The Maverick is based on the [[wp:Bell 206|Bell 206]] L Longranger, but the GTA IV rendition features four blades on its main rotor, similar to the [[wp:Bell 407|Bell 407]], but retaining the body design of previous Mavericks (pre-release material such as [[television]] footage, suggests GTA IV's Maverick was originally intended to retain its two blade rotor). | ||

In GTA IV, most helicopters are just variants of the Maverick, so for style go for a different variant (like a [[Helitours Maverick]]). However, for function, go for an [[Annihilator]] as it has weaponry and is the fastest helicopter in the game. Since GTA Vice City, the [[police]] has their own version of the Maverick called the [[Police Maverick]]. | ||
