The Patrol Helicopter, commonly referred to as "Heli" in Rust, has a primary 10,000 hit points (HP) for its main body. However, disabling this formidable opponent also involves targeting its critical components, which have their own distinct HP pools.
Understanding Patrol Helicopter HP
While the main body boasts a substantial 10,000 HP, players often focus on destroying the rotors, as this causes the helicopter to crash and drop its loot. Targeting these specific components can be a more efficient strategy for taking down the Heli.
Here’s a breakdown of the Patrol Helicopter's HP values:
| Component | HP |
|---|---|
| Main Body | 10,000 |
| Main Rotor | 900 |
| Tail Rotor | 500 |
Strategic Targeting for Takedown
Players can choose to either deplete the main body's extensive HP or strategically destroy its rotors to bring it down.
- Main Rotor: With 900 HP, destroying the main rotor is a common strategy. Once it's destroyed, the helicopter will lose stability and eventually crash.
- Tail Rotor: The tail rotor has 500 HP, making it the component with the lowest HP. Destroying this rotor will also cause the helicopter to become unstable and crash.
Focusing fire on either the Main Rotor or Tail Rotor can often lead to a faster takedown compared to solely shooting the main body, especially for players with limited ammunition or a desire to conserve resources. Each component, once destroyed, contributes to the overall demise of the Patrol Helicopter.
