## **Description**

The Helicopters is the only vehicle can be used to fly around anywhere players want.

## **Locations**

* On a Helipad near a wire-fenced building in The Big Freeze city.
* Near a parking lot in Freedom City
* In middle of a soccer field in Freedom City
* In a roof near a quik-e-mart in house park
* In the prison helipad in corona city
* In a helipad on top of a building in D-Town Central
* On a Helipad in Los Francos City in Going For Gold, where you're supposed to kidnap a Rival's Brother.

## **Tips**

* These are very useful vehicles due to their incredibly fast speed, you can use it to swiftly steal Swags, without getting shot by enemies and dash back to your base.
* You can also load it with Rockets, Grenades, and Explosives to plan unexpected aerial attacks on your enemy's base/zones in Capture The Swag and Conquest modes.
* Also useful for reaching inaccessible areas that contains special vehicles or weapon pick-ups.
* Usage of firearms or any forward firing weapons is completely pointless, so simply just drop bombs like Grenades or Explosives to nuke enemies below.
* AI Players and Cops will follow you in their vehicles, even when you are in a Helicopter, fly above water and they will follow you, which they will hilariously drown instead.
* When you fly above enemies or Cops, they will try so hard to shoot you, but they will not be able to hit you, due to the fact that they cannot aim up or down, in which they will hilariously kill their own teammates or themselves instead.
* This is a good vehicle to counter Tanks, as you can fly above a building and it will keep shooting at the building, causing damage to the tank itself. Or just simply fly above water and they will follow you until they drown. Also make fly above other enemies and the Tank will still try to hit you but will hit their teammates instead.
* Load it with Grenades and Explosives to drop them from the Helicopter and onto enemy Vehicles to easily finish them off.
* The Helicopter takes no damage, if it lands on it's landing legs, even if you drop it from maximum height and only the landing legs hit the ground.

## ***Trivia***

* If a Helicopter is destroyed, it's rotor blades will freeze.

* You can use weapons in the Helicopter. Normally, like how you use them in a normal land vehicle, similar to the Boat. However using them is either a great challenge or completely useless and a waste of time since the vehicle's pitch and yaw greatly affect the accuracy.
* If you toss a remote bomb from the Helicopter, it will follow the vehicle for a brief while before descending in the direction the Helicopter's heading, unlike Grenades (if only dropped), which will instantly start to descend after dropped.
* In Campaign Mode Appears, in Death From Above and Watch Out Bellow
* When the Helicopter is submerged in water, the engines will stop and you cannot fly back up, it will then sink, resulting in a death.
* Despite the engine being on the top of the Helicopter, it will always catch fire at the cockpit.
* Sometimes, AI players can be seen flying Helicopters, depends on some circumstances. (glitches)
* When you play in Capture The Swag mode with Helicopters, the AI Players will almost never use them.
* Although, real-life aircraft would produce contrails from the engine exhausts when flying at high altitude, the Helicopter does not produce contrails at all even when flying at maximum height.
* Helicopters randomly spawned by glitches on the road are completely static and their rotors do not operate despite the presence of an NPC driver.
* The blades do not have a hitbox, and therefore will not do damage to players or vehicles when you touch it.
