I can't beat the Apache Helicopter on the Dam

[TrickTrigger]

It just guns me down every time, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. Nothing works. Shooting it with the Tau Cannon doesn't work, it just keeps shooting.

[Leksa]

its easy, you just have to shoot it

[CykaBlyat]

hide in the warehouse while shooting it with the tau cannon, will take you a couple of tries though and die a lot, there should be more ammo for it on the boxes inside. other than that, just ran past it if you can

I can't get into the warehouse, it only spawns when I'm all the way at the other end of the Dam.

Well, I read that it only spawns when your at the other side of the dam but, what is suppose to happen was you have a bunch of tau ammo in the warehouse and your suppose to keep peaking in and out of the warehouse while hitting it with charged tau shots.

Hide in warehouse. Shoot it until it dies. You have Tau Cannon. Shoot with Tau Cannon until Apache go boom

[RainingMetal]

Isn't the helicopter supposed to appear as soon as you reach the part of the dam that has access to the warehouse to begin with? Or was this a public release change?

Yup. Just bolt on back over to the warehouse and get blasting

[RainingMetal]

Guess that makes this challenge that much more difficult.

[Shockhammer]

It's not that hard. Just juice up the Tao and blast that sucka out of the sky

I'm never able to make it, I had to hide behind the sandbags with the mounted guns.

Have you tried playing the game correctly?

I had this problem when first playing the 1.0 beta but it’s actually really as easy as before pretty much. Only difficulty comes from making sure you have enough health and armour prior to making the run back to the warehouse.

It does a strafing run. Don't walk back and forth, but to the sides. It'll swoop over and come back for another go. Use the machineguns or run very quickly to the building full of uranium. If you know it's coming, you should have a fully charge blast ready, and it's super easy to peg it.

A couple charged shots and some plinking from the machineguns or the gauss' primary will make it start exploding, then it flies off.

I think I'm on the authors side with this one. Why do they let you get that far away from decent cover before surprising you with a perfect hit-scan helicopter? They have those guns with the sand bags set up, so you'd think to use those to shoot down the heli, but that strategy only sees the two of you trading a lot of shots until one of you dies. Before, it seemed like the developers intended strategy WAS the warehouse, but here its obvious that they wanted to change it up and have the player move around and use the guns, sadly it just doesn't work very well. Maybe they should tone down the helicopters aimbot like accuracy that every patch seems to gloss over and then maybe it would be a fun fight.

The Tau is still an intended strategy too so I don’t see why it should matter. The warehouse is completely stocked with Tau ammo and there’s a bunch of health and armour in there too so the warehouse strategy is still more than viable.
