What is the whole purpose for this helicopter and what dose it do to help us?
its very likely it wont "help" us
I'm guessing it's going to have a search light at night and targets players who get spotted.
Thanks for showing us this, I didn't know about it. Great way to track updates.
Dose anyone know what it does?
It is going to be a event (at the start) like the airdrop. It's going to hunt people and kill them. If you try to hide inside your base, it may just happen to blow it up.
From what I've heard about this thing, that it flies around and randomly kills people, it sounds like a horrible idea.
People are dying left and right to players as it is, why do we need an AI helicopter to do it also? What's the benefit of this? Is it's sole purpose to frustrate players?
This will just make more people rage at the game....
I'm guessing I'm the only one who likes the idea that it's going to kill players.
This is a welcome addition. As it is the NPC threat in the game is a joke and almost none existent.
Yeah as long as it is indiscriminate then it will have a balancing effect. Those kevlar warriors who consistently kill new spawns and monopolise resources will have a real existential threat to contend with apart from the few like themselves.
Spot on, there is absolutely no NPC threat right now.
I understand about wanting the npc threat, but is there a way for us to actually kill this thing or are we going to have to hide from it all the time to make sure it just does not kill us?
They will remove the zombies - so they need new ways to lose your stuff and to be afraid when outside:)
I am really dreading this. I think it is going to be so stupid. :suicide:
It might be cool if there was a way for us to kill it and maybe when it hits the ground you would be able to get weapons and gear off of it. There needs to be some point to this instead of just killing everyone. If this is there plan is to have something kill everyone and not be able to defend there self then I think this going to completely suck! :suicide:

Then it just becomes another resource for the rich kids who got on first after the last server wipe. But yeah, I guess if you could take it down then you should get a ton of metal out of it at least. On the other hand, a helicopter is unlikely to fly anywhere where the danger to it is significant, and depending on whether or not it is armored - I would think so as players have small arms then currently we have no means of taking it down. Possibly strap some explosives on to an arrow? :D

Actually I think it's great aswell. :)
Does anybody know trello and when "Finished" stuff like this can be found on servers?
I don't mind if it comes in to target players, but if it comes in and destroys my base... not sure how i'd feel about that.
The rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer. I'm hoping this Npc will be a "robin hood" of sorts.
Will someone please tell me what the hell is the point of this!? GARRY! FOR GOD SAKES!
We are supposed to be in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where civilization has collapsed but there are damn air drops and attack helicopters zooming around!? Why don't they rescue us!?
i get the feeling that what this game is , that we are in a disaster zone , and the rest of the world is actually fine .
and that the surrounding countries are going back and forth on whether or not to help us the players.
hence why there are air drops and possibly why there are attack helicopters
thing is that the only real threat to players are other players , which means most established crews have nothing better to do than to curb stomp lesser people.
adding hostile npcs to preoccupy these roaming kill squads might go a long way into shifting the current dynamics in the game into something slightly more cooperative and less "everyone kos because reasons" .
Who knows what kind of mechanic this will add until it has been added, It could be that it only targets threats players with lots of equipment. Have to wait and see how it actually behaves in game before everyone freaks out.
I don't even know the extent to how this will change the game, but the fact that's making everyone wring their hands in dismay makes me instantly like the idea. No one should feel safe in this game, especially those who are the most powerful.
i want to fly it wuold be good if you somehow cuold steal it maybe when it lands? you kill gaurds and steal it xD
Molotov crossbows, grenade launchers, or RPGs then please

Yes, this NPC should specifically target people with Kevlar and heavy weapons, and maybe have a loudspeaker that tells the "Insurgents" to "Drop your weapons and armor!"

Oh yeah? What about people who don't have metal houses?
Anyone notice how the heli has rocket pods & MG as weapons ?
