Helicopters are the rarest of any Vehicle on Great Bear Island, second only to Buses and Earth Movers. Most are only found in the Forsaken Airfield Region and provide a small warmth bonus and complete protection from wind-chill as Cars, Trucks, and Tractors would. They can also be used as a temporary shelter to sleep or evade wildlife.
Helicopters contain the most loot containers of any vehicle, often containing 2 side hatches and 2 cylindrical hatches on the outside, 2 baskets that often contain loot, and many lockers inside the passenger cabin. Like other vehicles during an Aurora, the electronics of a Helicopter will turn back on.
Most Helicopters can be found in the Forsaken Airfield Region around the abandoned tarmac of Field 31, as well as inside the Main Hangar. A single crashed helicopter can be found in the mountains to the west of Shoulder Lake. A unique rescue helicopter, Final Approach, can be found in north of Surveyor's Memory and contains a medical cot for sleeping, a chance to spawn a Distress Pistol box, and various lockers that can be looted. Another crashed Helicopter located in the Far Territory is found in the mountains of the Zone of Contamination, near Old Corral.
Only 1 Helicopter can be found in Lower Great Bear, crashed on a ridge near Muskeg Overlook in Forlorn Muskeg.
