Take to the skies in this massive Rust update. This latest patch features aerial combat from attack helicopters and armored hot air balloons, giving you a whole new way to attack enemy player's bases, plus a whole new angle to defend your own home.
On this page of IGN's Rust guide, we'll go over everything new in this Airborne update, plus how to get all the fun new toys included in this patch.
New Vehicle: Attack HelicopterHow to Get the Attack Helicopter:
Purchasable from the Air Wolf store at Bandit Camp Cost: 2250 scrapSay hello to the attack helicopter, a perfect two-man offensive vehicle. Take up the gunner's seat and use the special monitor to blast enemy bases with a turret, rockets, and even fire flares to deter homing missiles.
Even the pilot can take part in the offensive action, firing rockets without the use of the gunner monitor for precision aim.
Armored Hot Air BalloonHow to Get the Armored Hot Air Balloon:
Armor upgrade purchasable at the Bandit Camp vehicle parts vendorThe hot air balloon has gotten a defensive makeover in this update. Equip your balloon with armor to boost the vehicle's health and provide additional cover for yourself inside - perfect for offensive maneuvers.
Homing Missile LauncherHow to Get the Homing Missile Launcher:
Requires Workbench Level 2 20 HQM3 Metal Pipes1 Tech Trash1 CCTV CameraIf you want to take down an attack helicopter, you're going to need a bigger gun. A homing missile launcher, to be exact. While your target can throw flares to throw off your aim, this rocket launcher is a surefire way to put a stop to any aerial attack.
ParachutesHow to Get a Parachute:
Requires Workbench Level 2 2 Tarps2 Sewing Kits50 ClothWith so many new aerial accessories, you'll need a way to land in a pinch. That's where the new Parachutes come in. Slow your fall as you jump from an Attack Helicopter or Armored Hot Air Balloon or travel great distances through the air with almost complete silence. Be careful though - your Parachute can be targeted by SAM sites, auto turrets, and players on the ground.
The Parachute will have a new dedicated backpack slot on your character's clothing bar to equip it.
Weapon RacksStore your weapons neatly and display your haul all at the same time. The new Weapon Rack can be purchased from the Rust Item Store.
