Both guard some of the best loot in the game, both shoot back hard, and both reward players who bring the right explosives and pick their angles carefully. This guide walks through how each one works, how to kill it, and what you get for the effort. Rust patches monthly, so treat exact health and rocket counts as version-dependent baselines rather than\u6c38\u4e45 truths, and confirm current values on the wiki before a big push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bradley APC at Launch Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bradley APC is a tracked armored vehicle that patrols the paved roads of the Launch Site monument. It is the only place it spawns. The Bradley has 1,000 health and is invulnerable to every damage type except explosives, so bullets, arrows and melee do nothing. It will open fire on any player it detects regardless of what you are wearing, using a turret-mounted machine gun for sustained fire and a main cannon that lobs high-damage shells. Standing in the open near it is a quick way to die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Destroy the Bradley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because only explosives work, the practical kill is rockets or Timed Explosive Charges (C4). High Velocity Rockets are the most cost-effective tool: they fly fast and flat, which matters because the Bradley moves and you need to land hits before it reloads its cannon. Sources commonly cite somewhere in the range of four to seven High Velocity Rockets to bring it down, with players advised to bring a couple of spares for misses; regular Rockets and C4 also work but cost more for the same result. Because these figures shift between updates, verify the live numbers on the Rust Wiki rather than committing your whole stockpile blind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tactically, the cleanest approach is to fire from a rooftop or corner with a clear line on the Bradley&#8217;s path, dump your rockets in quick succession, then break line of sight while it is still tracking. If you leave it alone for several minutes after damaging it, it begins to repair, so commit fully once you start. After death it can respawn at Launch Site roughly an hour later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bradley Crate Loot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A destroyed Bradley drops three APC crates among burning wreckage. These crates hold high-tier military gear, rare components and ammunition, and are widely regarded as some of the best guaranteed loot on the map. The catch is the burn timer: the crates are on fire and cannot be looted for several minutes (commonly cited as around four minutes) after the Bradley dies. That window is exactly when rival players show up to third-party the kill, so secure the area before the flames die down. The wreckage itself can be mined with a Pickaxe for bonus Metal Fragments, High Quality Metal and Charcoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Patrol Helicopter Event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Patrol Helicopter is a timed world event rather than a fixed monument boss. It spawns roughly every two to four hours depending on server configuration, flies a circuit of the island visiting monuments, and then leaves if nobody engages it. It becomes hostile to players who are armed with anything more capable than a bow or who are wearing several pieces of clothing, so passing it in raw gear is often safer than approaching it kitted. When aggravated it makes strafing machine-gun passes and fires rockets, including incendiary (napalm) rounds that set the ground ablaze and deny cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Down the Patrol Helicopter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The helicopter&#8217;s main body has a large health pool (around 10,000 HP on default settings), but you almost never grind that down directly. Instead, target its two weak points: the main (top) rotor and the tail rotor. On default servers these are far softer than the body, with the top rotor commonly listed around 900 HP and the tail rotor around 500 HP. If both rotors are destroyed, the helicopter goes down regardless of remaining body health, which is why focusing the rotors is the fastest method. Note that modded servers often inflate these numbers dramatically, so the values above apply to vanilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practically, that means rockets and high-volume automatic fire. A reliable downing typically takes a stack of rockets or sustained 5.56 fire from rifles like the Assault Rifle or LR-300. Use short, controlled bursts at range to stay accurate, shoot during its strafing or retreat passes when it is predictable, and bait its bursts before popping out. A Multiple Grenade Launcher is excellent if you can close the distance safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helicopter Crates, Gibs and Loot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the helicopter is destroyed it crashes and breaks into burning gibs, dropping multiple locked crates (commonly three to four) at the crash site. The loot is comparable to an Airdrop but tends to come in larger quantities with a higher chance of high-quality items. As with the Bradley, the crates and wreckage burn for several minutes before they can be opened, so the crash site is a magnet for opportunists. Once the body cools, you can mine the gibs with a Pickaxe for High Quality Metal, Metal Fragments and Charcoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Aspect<\/th><th>Bradley APC<\/th><th>Patrol Helicopter<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Location<\/td><td>Launch Site (fixed)<\/td><td>Roaming event, all monuments<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Health<\/td><td>1,000 HP (explosive-only)<\/td><td>~10,000 body; rotors ~900 \/ ~500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weak point<\/td><td>Whole vehicle (rockets\/C4)<\/td><td>Top rotor + tail rotor<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spawn \/ respawn<\/td><td>~1 hour after death<\/td><td>~Every 2-4 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Crates dropped<\/td><td>3 APC crates<\/td><td>~3-4 crates<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Loot tier<\/td><td>High-tier military gear<\/td><td>Airdrop-level, larger quantity<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Burn before looting<\/td><td>~Several minutes (~4)<\/td><td>Several minutes<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both fights are far easier with backup. Coordinate explosives and fire lanes with a group, and read our <a href=\"https:\/\/xgamingserver.com\/blog\/rust-clans-teams-guide\/\">Rust Teams &#038; Clans Guide: Grouping Up and Sleeping Bags<\/a> for setting up respawns near Launch Site.

You need rockets or Timed Explosive Charges, with High Velocity Rockets being the most cost-effective option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do you have to destroy the helicopter&#8217;s body to take it down?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. If you destroy both the top rotor and the tail rotor, the Patrol Helicopter crashes regardless of how much body health remains. Targeting the two rotors is much faster than grinding through its large body health pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why can&#8217;t I loot the crates right after the kill?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both the Bradley and helicopter leave their crates and wreckage on fire for several minutes after death. You have to wait for the flames to burn out before the crates become lootable, and that delay is when other players often arrive to contest the loot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want practice runs without a wipe full of strangers third-partying every kill?
