The Attack Helicopter is a flying spawnable boss. It is spawnable via custom purchasable smoke signals in the shop menu. Like the bradley, is considered one of the most challenging NPC threats in the game and is designed as a high-risk, high-reward boss encounter especially at the higher difficulties. Purchasing multiple of the same Heli signal in the same day causes the price to slowly rise, resetting at the end of the day.
Similar to the Bradley, the Heli’s loot scales depending on the difficulty. Points in the Combat skill tree can significantly impact the outcome of the fight.
Strategy
The recommended loadout to take down the Heli is an M249 paired with HV or Incendiary bullets, as well as a variable zoom scope. However, Heli can be taken with most guns.
Heli has two weakpoints, the main blades and the tail. If both are destroyed, the Patrol Helicopter will be destroyed, ignoring its actual health. When you hit the rotor and the tail you will deal damage as normal but after enough hits they will light on fire and be destroyed soon after dealing massive percentile damage to the total health of the Heli. The main rotors and tail rotors health scales with the main health of the Heli, the higher the difficulty the more time it will take to destroy the rotors. Hits on these weakpoints can be seen as metal flying off the heli on bullet impact.
Elite and Legendary helis are much more aggressive and their bullets deal massive damage. It is best to stock your inventory with medkits, syringes, and a high instant-healing food such as black raspberries. These can be spammed on your bar to heal you as you damage the helicopter and during reloading of your M249. Utilize the protection of the Heli Tower to hide undercover when damage is too great to sustain.
The best weapon for taking down the Heli is Brits Golden M249, which provides a 50% bonus to all damage dealt to the Heli.

Heli Islands
Brit’s PvE Servers offers custom Heli Tower Islands to fight and spawn Heli where you have a proper space and protection to fight it. Use of these islands is recommended over a traditional Heli tower due to the massively increased DPS of the higher difficulty Helis, and their invulnerability to damage. You can access these via the command
/tower1 - 3
This will take to the respective island seen below
