How to Fly a Helicopter in Unturned?

Flying in Unturned is quite simple once you get used to it – especially if you have tried doing it in other popular games such as Battlefield, as the controls are similar. Here’s how to control a helicopter in Unturned on a PC:

1. You need a helicopter (of course), a gas can, and a blowtorch.
   
2. You can use either arrow keys on your keyboard or your mouse to look around, and the “W”, “A”, “S”, and “D” keys or your mouse to turn. This can be selected in the game settings.
   
3. To start flying, get in the helicopter, press the “W” button on your keyboard and hold it.
   
4. Once you take off, you can release the “W” button until the helicopter starts flying too low. Control the height by pressing and releasing “W”.
   
5. To fly faster, tilt the helicopter’s nose down. To fly slower, raise it up.
   
6. Use the “A” button to turn left and the “D” button to turn right. If you’re using a mouse, move the cursor in the turning direction and raise the helicopter’s nose up slightly.
   
7. If you want to land, make sure you have some ground below you. Then, press and hold the “S” button. Decrease the power when the helicopter is near the ground, otherwise, you will crash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Now that you can fly a helicopter in Unturned, you may want to know more about air transport in the game. Read on to find out how to instantly get a plane, where to find the necessary flying equipment, and which helicopter is the best.

What Is the ID for a Plane in Unturned?

Just like any other item in Unturned, you can spawn a plane with the help of cheats (“@give [item ID]”). There are eight types of planes in the game.

The Sandpiper plane ID is 92, Otter – 92

Rainbow Hatchback – 109

Annushka – 133

Fighter Jet – 140

Coastguard Seaplane – 810

AutoGyro – 846

The ID of the legendary Belgium Skyland Plane is 9006.

What Is the Give Command in Unturned?

The “@give [item ID]” command in Unturned allows you to instantly get any item you wish, including workshop items. Although it is a cheat, you won’t get banned for using it.

In fact, the game developers encourage the use of cheats in a single-player game and don’t prohibit them in the multi-player mode. You can also spawn several items at once by typing in the desired number after the item ID.

What Is the Best Helicopter in Unturned?

When it comes to selecting the best helicopter, it all comes down to your needs and preferences. However, Hind and Orca helicopters are the most common favorites among Unturned players.

Hind is a legendary French helicopter gunship that can fit up to six people. It’s quite fast – up to 72 km/h, and has a health rate of 1,250 – the highest out of all helicopters in the game. Hind is invulnerable to small arms fire, but pilot sight is slightly obstructed.

Orca, on the other hand, is an epic helicopter with a lower, but still impressive health rate of 1,000. It has the same capacity and speed as Hind. The biggest disadvantage compared to Hind is that passengers on the back seats are vulnerable to gunfire.

If you’re looking for a bigger helicopter, we advise choosing Grasslands Chinook – it holds up to 11 people and has a high health rate.

How Do You Fly in Unturned?

Flying in Unturned isn’t much different from flying in other games. By default, the “W”, “A”, “S”, and “D” keys are used for turning and mouse or arrow keys are used to look around on a PC.

This can be configured in the game settings in case you prefer to control aircraft with other keys. If you’re a console gamer, use the right trigger on your controller to turn and the right trigger to look around.

Where Do I Get a Blowtorch in Unturned?

A blowtorch is an essential item for flying. You can’t craft it, but it can be found at gas stations and garages. Blowtorches aren’t common, though, so you may have to spend some time looking for one. If you wish to save your time for something more exciting, use the “@give 76” command to instantly spawn a blowtorch.

Where Do I Get a Helicopter in Unturned?

Helicopters can be mainly found at military bases. If you’re looking for an Attack Heli, head on to the Scrwarzald military base in Germany, Volk base in Russia, or Marseille Deadzone in France.

Orca helicopter can only be acquired in Russia, while Hind can only be found at the French military base. To get the Grasslands Chinook helicopter, visit the helipads and Agros military base in Cyprus or Trinity Monastery in Greece. A basic transport helicopter can be acquired at Olympia military base in Washington, in Germany, Belgium, and at Summerside base at PEI.

Fly With Friends

Helicopters surely add a lot of fun to the game – especially considering that you don’t necessarily have to buy them or search for them, but can use cheats to instantly get one instead. Helicopters in Unturned fit four or more people depending on the type, so there’s a place for your whole team! If you’re looking for a faster aircraft, consider acquiring a plane – just like helicopters, they can be found at military bases or spawned using cheats.
