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). | ||
Overall, the Maverick is a good choice of transport in GTA Vice City, but GTA San Andreas has many better options. 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]]. | Overall, the Maverick is a good choice of transport in GTA Vice City, but GTA San Andreas has many better options.

In GTA Vice City Stories, the Maverick is used in some missions. During the mission ''[[High Wire]]'', a magnet is attached to the Maverick to act like a sky crane, which is not available outside the mission. [[Lance Vance|Lance]] also owns one, which is seen occasionally in the game. | In GTA Vice City Stories, the Maverick is used in some missions.

The Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories is not intended to be obtained by the player. However, it can be obtained by the player during the missions [[Calm Before the Storm]] given by [[Joseph Daniel O'Toole]]<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Sg1zAJ3gFY Tutorial: Stealing the Helicopter in "Calm Before the Storm" on YouTube by GTAmissions]</ref> and [[False Idols]] given by [[Ned Burner]]<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sO3BAqsa3s Tutorial: Stealing the Helicopter in "False Idols" on YouTube by GTAmissions]</ref>. The Maverick can be obtained more easily by using [http://www.cheatdevice.com/ this trainer for the PSP version of the game]. It is unusually fast and can reach high speeds in a matter of three seconds, which is not possible with the Maverick in other games. Moving the camera moves the helicopter (because the right analog stick was to alternatively control a helicopter in Vice City.) The blades are used of that of an AI-controlled [[Police Maverick]], and the blades renders transparency incorrectly when they are viewed through the blades (i.e. trees.) | The Maverick in GTA Liberty City Stories is not intended to be obtained by the player.
