A Helicopter is an air-based vehicle in War Brokers, just like the Jet. However, unlike the Jet, the Helicopter can hover in place, without having to constantly move in order to stay in the air. There are four different types of Helicopters in War Brokers, all being designed for both getting to places quickly and attacking enemies from above.

All helicopter variants have 700hp and most of them are equipped with weapons, usually rockets or guns. There is also a secondary gun (similar to an APC) on the helicopter attached to its nose and the passenger can operate it. Helicopters will fall to the ground and take no damage if all players bail out while flying.

Although helicopters may be difficult to control at first, their maneuverability and versatility can make them deadly in the hands of the right player.

## Helicopter Level-1

    The Level-1 is equipped with 10 unguided, anti-vehicle rockets (similar to the RPG). They do substantially more damage to vehicles compared to players. The rockets fire very fast allowing for quick burst damage, and although they do reduced damage to players, the level-1's damage output is still enough to be threatening. It is found in just two maps: Desert and Kitchen. It resembles a UH-1 Iroquois.

## Helicopter Level-2

    The Level-2 comes equipped with dual miniguns that shoot explosive projectiles with the same fire rate as the VSS, allowing it to pester players from a distance. In contrast to the Level-1, this helicopter is ideal against players and weak to vehicles. This vehicle has gained notoriety for being generally frustrating to deal with, dealing with constant chip damage, and also being difficult to hit. It is the only helicopter to start off as tan and only has one customizable item. This Helicopter is found in Temple, Area 15 Base, and Northwest. It resembles an AH-6 Little Bird.

## Helicopter Level-3

    The Level-3 is equipped with 10 homing rockets identical to the ones found in the Homing Missile. If the crosshair is close enough to an enemy vehicle, it will begin to lock-on. Once it is fully locked, the rocket will track the vehicle as it moves, until impact. The Level-3 is more effective against vehicles due to its lock on abilities, although skilled players can use it against infantry as well. This Helicopter is found only in Pacific. It resembles an AgustaWestland Apache.

## Transport Helicopter

This special helicopter, also known as level 0 helicopter, is found on Flooded and the Battle Royal Map. It has no weapons and is instead armored and used for transport purposes only. Instead of wading through water and chunks of buildings, this helicopter provides a quicker way to get across the map. Unlike the other helicopters, the Transport Helicopter cannot be customized with camps and accessories. It may be a UH-60 Blackhawk. The Helicopter can also be found at the Mountain base and Metro Airport sections on the battle royale map and can be used for fast transportation similar to the Battle Royale car.

The Transport Helicopter is a unique vehicle that it has no weaponry but provides a faster alternative than swimming through the water or building parkour. It has no forms of customization, being the only Heli to lack such options.

There is a non-pilotable version of the transport Heli near the Train Station in Battle Royale mode. It is a place to get large health, Hunting Rifles, VSS, and heavy armor (at least 1 type of Heavy item can be found there).

The transport Heli's for Battle Royale was removed for the Halloween 2022 Event, and was added back later.

## "Little Heli"

    The Unreleased Helicopter known as "Little Heli" is extremely similar to the Helicopter Level-2, but with a semi-hollow interior. It appears as though four people can fit inside of the helicopter, all being able to be seen. There are two pilots and two passengers. The two passengers are facing outward (like this image- thanks to militaryfactory.com), but it is unclear whether or not they can shoot. This, along with the Seal Boat, is the only known vehicle that has the characters showing. As of now, it is unknown if the Heli will ever be released, as several community members are against the idea of adding it.
