Attack Helicopter

The Attack Helicopter is a player-controlled helicopter with 2 seats. It can be purchased from the Bandit Camp at the Air Wolf vendor for 2250 scrap. It has a turret on the bottom that can be loaded with a gun and its ammo and is controlled by a passenger. There is a missile launcher (visually there are two, however their inventories are linked) that can be loaded with High Velocity or Incendiary rockets. The missiles can be fired by both the pilot and passenger. For the passenger, there is a screen showing where the missile will hit. The missile launchers fire in bursts of up to 6 before needing to reload. There is also space for Flares that can be deployed by the pilot by pressing RMB that will distract incoming Homing Missiles. Flares do not do anything against SAM Sites.

The attack helicopter is great for countering Oil Rigs and the Cargo Ship as it is difficult for players to hide on these monuments. If you are going to Oil Rig or Cargo, I'd recommend bringing a [url=https://rustlabs.com/item/homing-missile-launcher]Homing Missile Launcher[/url] so that you can shoot down any attack helicopters that might come and counter.

It absolutely dominates all other aircraft. With an Attack Heli, you will be a feared aerial bully. See a mini? Chase it and get your gunner to lock onto it with a homing missile. When they land, rocket them. See a scrappy? Chase it and rocket it. It's fat, you won't miss. See a car? Chase it and rocket it. Someone shooting homing missiles at me? Damn, I'm gonna have to press right click. I greatly enjoy being an aerial menace, and do so with impunity. Pack medkits (you can heal from your inventory) and heavy armor, along with lots of fuel and rockets if you're going to go bananas with it. Free Bird is an optional extra for increased speed and flight skill.
