To turn left, use the left movement key (A) and the Mini-Copter will rotate counter-clockwise. Players will need to find a sweet spot for their mouse and the Mini-Copter's nose so that they are moving forward at a good speed, but not diving to the ground. The lower the Mini-Copter's nose is pointed, the faster you will go. Once you are at the desired height in your Mini-Copter, push your mouse forward to aim the nose of the Mini-Copter further down and traveling forward. You will need to hold the forward key the entire time the Mini-Copter is in flight or the rotor will shut off and the Mini-Copter will descend. You do not want the nose pointing all the way down, but just enough so the Mini-Copter doesn't fly backward on liftoff. When lifting off in a safe location, hold the forward key to gain height while gently and slightly moving your mouse forward to position the nose of the Mini-Copter down a little bit. While in driving mode, players can use the movement keys to maneuver as if they were just controlling their player. Continuing to hold the forward key will cause the Mini-Copter to lift off the ground, but if your overhead is obstructed by trees or a roof, you can hold down the Control Key (CTRL) to drive the Mini-Copter on the ground. Upon first entering the Mini-Copter, press your forward movement key (W) to start the rotor. Ĭontrolling the Mini-Copter will use your standard movement keys and the mouse.
#Flying the copter how to#
Stay tuned and this guide will show you not only how to fly a Mini-Copter, but it will also reveal some general things to know about finding and using one in Rust. True to its name, the Mini-Copter is a miniature helicopter made from scrap metal that is perfect for just a player and their friend to fly around the map quickly. However, it is only recently that Facepunch Studios, developers of Rust, have added new means of transportation to help players get around the map such as the Mini-Copter. The map itself is large and gives players a ton of locations to loot and build. Players can even wire up working CCTV cameras to keep an eye on their bases.

From these humble beginnings, players can work together - or solo - to create towering bases with working electrical doors and arm themselves with guns and armor to raid and loot other players built fortresses. When you first load into a server, you start with only a torch and a rock that you can use to hack at trees and big stones for resources.

Fortunately, players can now take to the skies with the Mini-Copter and find loot and raid bases like never before. Rust is a game with a huge playable map that players usually have to traverse by walking.
