Bombushka Run

Overview

Bombushka Run was a Team PVP Adversary Mode for 4 to 8 players on two teams, released on September 19, 2017, during the continued rollout of the Smuggler's Run update. It had seven maps, Bombushka Run I to VII, ranging from Los Santos International Airport and Fort Zancudo to Alamo Sea, Vinewood Hills and downtown Los Santos. Rockstar later removed it during Survivals Week to free up space for new content.

How it works

One team crews a single RM-10 Bombushka, while the other flies Buzzard Attack Choppers. The Bombushka team tries to stay alive as long as possible, and the Buzzard team tries to bring it down. A downed Buzzard pilot respawns on the ground with a new helicopter and goes straight back into the fight. Once the bomber falls, the teams swap sides. Each team gets a set number of attempts in the bomber, and the team with the better survival score wins.

The maps are filled with hamster tubes and other obstacles. Bomber pilots can use them to break line of sight, and chopper pilots can use them as cover from the turrets. Several maps added stunt-track pieces to extend the runways.

Tips

• In the Bombushka, fly low around obstacles and let your gunners cover the angles the pilot cannot.
• As a Buzzard, attack from different directions at once so the turrets cannot track everyone.
• Use your respawns aggressively, since losing a chopper costs very little.

Rewards and unlocks

• Cash and RP based on performance. The mode is no longer playable.
