About this vehicle
The Buckingham Valkyrie is a four-bladed, four-seat helicopter introduced with the Heists update. Its form draws chiefly from a modernised four-bladed helicopter used by the United States Marines. It has a rounded glazed nose, side access doors, black skids and a large rear bay with side-facing seats. A lower nose turret, twin side-mounted Miniguns and a fenestron tail rotor distinguish its military appearance. It normally spawns dark grey with a black nose section, sometimes carrying a nose decal.
Warstock Cache & Carry sells the Valkyrie for $3,790,500, while crews that have completed The Humane Labs Raid can buy it at the $2,850,000 Trade Price. Pegasus Lifestyle Management delivers purchased examples. In enhanced versions, it can also be kept as a Medium aircraft in a Hangar. Merryweather Security operates a metallic black Valkyrie during Humane Raid - Valkyrie, where it is stolen. The Humane Labs Raid finale uses an armoured version fitted with plating from the Insurgent LAPV.
The Valkyrie is faster than the Buzzard and Buzzard Attack Chopper but slower than the Swift. It turns quickly for a helicopter of its size, although it leans slightly right in flight and its bulk makes missile evasion less forgiving. It is fragile under gunfire and explosives. The pilot flies while crew members operate the weapons: explosive rounds from the forward autocannon and Miniguns on either side. It appears with hostile forces in Kortz Survival and Quarry Survival, and can feature in Kill List, Kill List Competitive and Moving Target.
Trivia
- ◆A Valkyrie is a female entity in Norse mythology who chooses those who may die in battle and those who may live. Other vehicles in the series that are named after mythological creatures include the Banshee, Hydra, Titan, Daemon, Phoenix, Leviathan, Chimera, Kraken and the Cerberus.
- ◆The name of the helicopter is likely a reference to the beach attack sequence from Apocalypse Now, where a US Air Cavalry unit attacks a Vietcong village in mostly Bell UH-1 helicopters (the predecessor of the UH-1Y Venom on which the Valkyrie is based on) while they play Richard Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries on their helicopter. The Buzzard's real-life counterpart also appears in the movie.
- ◆Furthermore, the description refers to the Valkyrie as a "survivor from the 1960s war effort", and Humane Raid - Valkyrie's job image depicts a sand/tan Valkyrie flying through an ablaze backdrop, as reference to how the UH-1 Iroquois was widely used by the US Air Force and US Army during the Vietnam War.
