About this vehicle

The Western Company Cargobob is a large, heavy transport helicopter with tandem four bladed rotors, a broad cargo fuselage and a rear loading ramp. Its shape most closely follows the CH-46 Sea Knight, rather than the Chinook often associated with it, with a short body and three wheel undercarriage. It carries up to ten people, with a raised cockpit ahead of the cargo hold. The standard model wears a desert Marine Corps style livery marked "Marines" and "435".

The Cargobob is slow and less agile than most helicopters, although its shorter tandem rotor layout makes it easier to manage than the Skylift. Its large frame is exposed to gunfire, rockets and armed aircraft, but bulletproof cockpit windows give the pilot some protection. A permanent grappling hook can pick up vehicles and certain cargo, though heavier loads affect its handling and a badly damaged winch can break away.

In Grand Theft Auto V, Cargobobs fly around Fort Zancudo and can appear on a helipad near the Barracks. Warstock Cache & Carry sells one for $2,200,000. Trevor Philips steals one from Fort Zancudo during the Cargobob setup, then uses it in The Merryweather Heist (Offshore) to transport the Submersible and the stolen device. The army also uses one to lift a Rhino during The Paleto Score. In Grand Theft Auto Online, it is sold by Warstock Cache & Carry for $1,750,000, requested through Pegasus Lifestyle Management, and can be kept as a Personal Aircraft in a Hangar.

Trivia

  • ◆There is a specification marking on the sides that reads "Max Load Capacity - 15000kg", meaning the Cargobob can carry 15 tons. Despite this, it can only comfortably carry up to just about 3 tons. At 4 tons, it needs careful handling or it will lose altitude, and at 6 tons, it will seriously struggle to leave the ground. The Insurgent, weighing in at 8 tons, cannot be lifted and will only be dragged, which puts the helicopter at high risk of being whipped onto its side and destroyed.
  • ◆If the player owns a hangar in Fort Zancudo, attempting to fly in with a stolen Cargobob will automatically result in a two-star wanted level. This will happen even if the helicopter was stolen outside of the base. The same happens with the Titan.
