Submarine Sparrow Worth It?

[JinxHeartnet]

I watched a video recently about how to do the Cayo Perico Heist solo and stealthy, and it recommended getting the Sparrow if you can. If I remember right it costs 1.9 million, so is it really worth it? Like is it going to make either the setups or the heist itself significantly easier to do solo and stealthy?

yes, it is worth it.

Can you still be stealthy even while flying a helicopter around? I know you get a big cash reward for doing the heist without being seen and there are some tough enemies which is the main reason I'm concerned about that. Can you just straight up land in or on top of the compound with it?

Sparrow is only for the setups can't use it in the heist. Still worth it for the time it saves.

So I'm assuming you can fly it around without being spotted? If so then I guess I'll invest in it. Bear in mind i only have $2 million so would you recommend it even then?

The benefits are as follows:
1. It can be spawned in right next to you
2. It goes pretty quick
3. It has missiles
4. It has countermeasures
5. Is stored in Kosatka

It's definitely worth it, in many situations it will even spawn closer to you than the Buzzard, which makes it a major timesaver sometimes. Most notable situation: LSIA when you got back from your recon: the Buzzard would spawn on the road a few miles away from you, the Sparrow spawns next to you, at LSIA itself.

You can also land it inside the Kosatka which is another major timesaver when you're doing setup missions.

The only (minor) is that you need to pick between missiles or cannons (and the cannons aren't that good), you can't switch between like with the Buzzard. But it's a non-issue.

Some people love it....it very nimble, and weaponized. Couple minor hits and it's goin down....so, let's say it's realistic too lol.

if you have the deluxo you can use that then the heli and if i can remember you can store it in the sub also. same with the sub car

It'll make life easier for you. Get it, it is WORTH it as it will save you hundred of hours.

It's worth it even if you never set foot in your kosatka and never do cayo heist. The ability to spawn a helicopter right next to you at any time for free makes life in gta a lot easier.

Amen

you don't buy the kosatka without the sparrow.

TL;DR:
Yes. Compared to the Aklua at the very least.

I've been using the Akula as a transport helo for a few days now and i have to say that if you're just trying to get somewhere, the sparrow is faster. I think i heard someone say that it's is THE fastest in the game though i have no idea how to validate that outside of racing the two which i haven't done

About spawning the Sparrow right next to you:
This doesn't require to be an active office CEO or MC president.

And right next to you means exactly that:
Right next to almost anywhere on the map, not the closest road nearby, which makes it inherently better than the CEO and MC vehicles.

The big disadvantage of the Sparrow is that it's made of balsa wood, paper and sticky tape.
Not only is it blown up by a single rocket, you'll also get destroyed by bullets really fast.
But on top of that, a single touch of your rotor blades or a hard landing and it will start smoking.

Saves a lot of time and driving boats.
