In Call of Duty: Warzone, the battle royale of CoD: Modern Warfare, players have stumbled upon a trick to essentially take helicopters down from the sky with one hit. You don’t even need a weapon for this.
That’s why helicopters are popular in Warzone: helicopters are a popular means of transport in Call of Duty: Warzone. They are fast, can carry up to 4 passengers, and can quickly take them to important key points. Opponents can also be easily “overrun” with them. However, bringing them down from the sky isn’t always easy.
What’s the trick about? A player has discovered a clever trick on how to apparently easily and in one hit bring helicopters down from the sky with a little finesse.
No weapon is even required for this. You just need a specific item – and you’ll become the helicopter killer.
Reddit user Ernis766 stumbled upon this method by chance while he wanted to scout an opposing team that was putting him in trouble.
How does the trick work? It isn’t really complicated. To get a better look at the enemy troop, Ernis766 simply took out a reconnaissance drone and let it take off.
Through the drone’s camera, he could watch the enemy team as they boarded a helicopter and flew in his direction. He then just guided the small flying device into the fully occupied enemy helicopter.
He was then amazed by the effect. The collision was enough to make an apparently completely undamaged helicopter explode immediately and eliminate all occupants.
In short: If you have the chance, take out a remote-controlled reconnaissance drone and steer it into the helicopter. You can find these scattered in crates on the battle royale map.
Normally, you’d use them to mark enemy players. However, evidently, a direct “hit” is enough to completely destroy the helicopter. Especially when taking off or hovering, the helicopter is very vulnerable. With a little practice, you can hit it quickly while in flight.
What do players say? Players are celebrating this trick on Reddit. The post received nearly 4,000 upvotes in less than a day. This is finally a cool and effective way to utilize this otherwise rather useless tool.
At the same time, they are also mocking the helicopters in Warzone. These may seem to take hundreds of bullets, collide five times with a building, and still be in usable condition afterward. But if they brush against a small object like the drone, they’ll immediately disintegrate into dust.
By the way, the drone can also be turned into a lethal tool in the regular multiplayer of Modern Warfare: How to turn boring drones in CoD Modern Warfare into cunning killers
