How to Use the Helicopter in Gray Zone Warfare

Unless you intend to traverse the entirety of Lamang on foot, which appears possible but impossible simultaneously, you’ll want to utilize the helicopter insertion/extraction mechanics in Gray Zone Warfare. But the game doesn’t explain much. Here is how to use the helicopter in Gray Zone Warfare!

You have multiple options for using the helicopter insertion in Gray Zone Warfare. If you don’t mind sitting around, sorting your inventory, or accepting tasks, you can wait near the landing pad in the far corner of your base. There are two Little Bird helicopters rotating in and out continuously.

Alternatively, open the map and select the landing pad in your base. You can call the helicopter, but don’t stand too close. If you’re too near the landing pad, the pilot will warn you that your proximity prevents him from landing. I’m unsure whether this is a bug or a feature, however, as the helicopter will still land in due time.

While you’re out in the field, you can call for a landing zone pickup by, once again, opening your map. This time, select one of the landing zones out in the field, then choose “Call Transport” from the pop-up in the top right corner of the map HUD.

If a helicopter is available and not already on the way, one will be dispatched to your selected landing zone. It does take some time, however. Furthermore, the Little Bird proves rather distinctly noisy, and enemies will flock to your position if they know an extract is incoming. It’s an easy kill and loot if you’re unprepared for an assault.

Keep an eye on your surroundings!
