Why the Cargobob Isn’t Worth It
The Cargobob cannot be used in most sell missions — currently, the helicopter can only be fully used during freemode. For a vehicle marketed as a utility powerhouse, that’s a massive limitation. You’re spending nearly $2 million on something you can’t even use in the core money-making missions of the game.
Spawning it is another headache. It is not even easy to call it through Pegasus since the game will spawn the helicopter in hard-to-reach places — you’ll need to own a hangar to make it into a personal vehicle. That’ additional investment on top of an already steep price.
And the performance? Apart from actual use-case scenarios, the Cargobob is not worth purchasing when looking at its price tag and the performance it offers. Slow, unwieldy, and limited in where it can actually help you.

Import/Export players in solo public sessions can use it to fly vehicles directly to the warehouse, cutting out NPC traffic encounters and reducing vehicle damage costs. The Cargobob is armored, features a Missile Lock-On Jammer, and can float on water — gen Destructoiduinely impressive specs for a utility helicopter.
But here’s the kicker: both Cargobob variants fly exactly the same — only the paint job is different, so d BGMIon’t get tricked into paying $205,000 extra for the Jetsam version.
