'''Support Chinook''' is the [[Heli Pilot (BTD6)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''.

Supply Crate simultaneously drops two crates containing cash and lives.

Additionally, this upgrade increases the damage of Heli Pilot's darts from 1 to 2, dart projectile size from 3 to 6, reduces the [[Attack ~~Cooldown~~|attack cooldown]] of downdraft from 0.2s to 0.15s, increases downdraft's [[pierce]] from 2 to 4, minimum blowback distance from 32 to 64 units, and flight speed from 70 to 80 units per second.

Additionally, this upgrade increases the damage of Heli Pilot's darts from 1 to 2, dart projectile size from 3 to 6, reduces the [[Attack speed|attack cooldown]] of downdraft from 0.18s to 0.15s, increases downdraft's [[pierce]] from 2 to 4, minimum blowback distance from 32 to 64 units, and flight speed from 70 to 80 units per second.

=== Supply Crate ===

When this ability is activated, Heli Pilot drops two [[collectible]] crates: one which provides $1,550 (or $1,938 with {{BTD6 mk|Charged Chinooks}}), and one which provides 10 lives (or 12 with {{BTD6 mk|Charged Chinooks}}). This ability has a cooldown of 90 seconds and initial cooldown of 90 seconds. This ability cannot be used more than 2 times in a single round, cannot be used between rounds, and it cannot be used more than 180 seconds into a round.

Support Chinook's ability to pick up towers, grant cash and lives, and offer stalling and bloon control make it a flexible support tower.

Support Chinook's ability to pick up towers, grant cash and lives, and offer stalling and bloon control make it an extremely flexible support tower, one of the best in the game.

The Chinook shines in [[Least Tiers]] boss events, where it can perform versatile functions such as stalling out rounds, defending early-game rounds, being the sole cash generation in a run, and moving around other powerful towers like [[Super Mines (BTD6)|Super Mines]] and [[Super Brittle (BTD6)|Super Brittle]]. The tower also finds use in [[Least Cash]] bosses for the same reason of having multiple functions in one, for example defending early-game rounds cheaply with the previous upgrade [[Downdraft (BTD6)|Downdraft]]. The Chinook also builds into the next upgrade tier [[Special Poperations (BTD6)|Special Poperations]] nicely.
