Cargobob Jetsam

"With decades of experience in hazardous marine haulage, a company like Jetsam understands that million-to-one environmental disasters happen nine times out of ten. And when they do, you need air support. This ex-industry Cargobob has transported tons of chemical dispersants and dead sea life up and down the length of the Pacific coast, so you can be sure it'll handle whatever you throw at it."

- Warstock Cache & Carry description.

The Western Company Cargobob Jetsam is civilian cargo helicopter present in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. It is a variant of the Cargobob helicopter operated by Jetsam.

Grand Theft Auto V
The Cargobob Jetsam is a mix of the Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight with its tail boom and twin rotor layout, Sikorsky MH-53 Pave Low and Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion with its nose and twin side mounted fuel tanks. Contrary to popular belief, it does not resemble a CH-47 Chinook, but in fact most resembles the CH-46 Sea Knight which, like the Chinook, has a twin rotor layout, but it is much shorter and has a three wheel undercarriage, as featured on the Cargobob.

The Cargobob Jetsam is a variation of the standard Cargobob operated by Jetsam. Compared to the military variant, parts of the nose equipment have been removed, and the helicopter features a Jetsam livery with a white body color and red-colored rotors, along with various markings. It is, otherwise, identical to a standard Cargobob.

Grand Theft Auto V
Pressing right on the D-Pad or E on a keyboard deploys a grappling hook, which allows for it to carry vehicles (it can also carry some objects, such as certain shipping containers). When the grappling hook hovers over the car or another vehicle, it will automatically attach. The helicopter's maneuverability is affected by the vehicle that you try to attach (a car could be easy, but a truck could be heavier to take off) and the winch can snap off if it is severely damaged. Note that the hook cannot be retracted and thus will be deployed permanently unless it snaps off or you reload the Cargobob model through the use of the helipad. To do this, select any helicopter by pressing right on the D-Pad then get any helicopter except for the Cargobob, then switch back to it and its model will have reloaded.

It can be landed on the water. However, it will sink if left while floating or if landed rapidly in water. It also has a fully-textured cargo bay.

The Cargobob, however, is slower than most in the Helicopter class, therefore weaponized choppers such as the Buzzard, Annihilator, Savage, and Valkyrie can hunt it down with ease.

Grand Theft Auto V

 * The Cargobob Jetsam is only used during Monkey Business by Trevor Philips to evacuate a chemical weapon out of the Humane Labs and Research facility.

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * Several organizations missions involve the use of this helicopter.

Grand Theft Auto V

 * Can be obtained and kept during the Monkey Business mission. The player has to land it on Sandy Shores Airfield's helipad instead of the yellow marker. Then exit the helicopter and the player has to kill themselves. This will cause the mission to fail, which is when the player should refuse to retry. After returning to the airfield, the Cargobob will be still saved on the helipad.

Grand Theft Auto Online

 * Can be bought from the Warstock Cache & Carry website for $1,995,000 with the GTA Online: Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update.

Trivia

 * Prior to the Further Adventures in Finance and Felony update, this variation was simply identified as Cargobob, as it is nothing more than a Cargobob with slight modifications and a different texture. However, the update later changed its name to Cargobob Jetsam and added it to the Warstock Cache & Carry website for players to buy.
