Fix the damn helicopter

[buttbeard]

has a stone base, has a crossbow. helicopter comes, heli keeps shooting rockets for 4 or 5 times, base gone, clan comes. everything gone

If i actually was raided by rockets or c4 or whatever, i don't care that much because its part of the game! but getting ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ over by the helicopter within 2 minutes like it's nothing and a clan abusing it, thats honnestly ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

They should just remove the rocket entirely. People complained about the crossbow or xp but this is a thing to complain about, i spend 7 hours on a server and the helicopter comes and wipes away my base like its nothing, nice experience i guess...

From experience in our server we ussually dont gt othered by heli rockets unless its multiple people in a building. If u where inside ur base not fighting ur server is def broke. Heli doesnt bother us at all till u shoot or it sees u

[buttbeard]

i was just in my base crafting for a while then that thing came and blew all my walls out, not just once, no, it kept bothering with me and then it flew away and despawned

[buttbeard]

AKA there were like 45 people online at the time

Server is broke. I wemt of face punch forums heli shouldnt be that powerful.

Heli attacks if it sees you with anything in your inventory higher than a hunting bow (not crossbow). When you hear the heli just put your stuff in a chest and it wont bug you. The heli and hopefully soon other NPCs are what make rust still feel like a survival game rather than a pvp orgy. It also tends to fly the path from monument to monument so if you dont want to be bothered by it, build a little further away from those areas. Hope that helps!

Yeah just take off armor and remove weapons and it'll leave you alone if it hasn't already seen you.

Even if it has seen you, let it kill you and itll move on.

If you are standing near the base from someone else, the helicopter will not use rockets.

And when you shoot once and hit the helicopter, the fight is on. Or you or the helicopter must die to reset the fight. So it will remember you after flying away. If you're in the neighbourhood the next time it comes, it will hunt you down. Unless ofcourse it can't see you :p

If u are near a base with more then 1 person ur gonna gt rocketed. Tested and proven. And heli does gt bored. We fought it and it just turned and left. I had to chase it down to finish it off

If you're standing near a base and you don't have buildingpriviledge, it won't shoot rockets. Because if it did, you can use these attacks to raid bases. The devs ruled this option out.

[Shellxshock]

The patched that. I found out the hard way. Doesnt matter 2 or more people they use rockets

[Shellxshock]

We fought it in. Building blocked base. It rocketed us to the ground.
