| Tower | Heli Pilot — Path 2 — Tier 4 | |

| Cost | $7,500 | |
Support Chinook is the Heli Pilot's path 2 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD Battles 2. It grants Heli Pilot two new abilities: Reposition, and Supply Crate. Reposition allows the Chinook to pick up a "non-heavy" tower to a new location. Supply Crate drops a single crate containing cash. Despite mentioning "lives", it doesn't do that since the nerf in version 4.13 OTA Update 1.
Abilities
Reposition
The Reposition ability opens up a menu to pick a valid tower or Hero to a new valid location. It cannot pick up the following:
- Monkey Ace
- Heli Pilot
- Banana Farm
- Monkey Village
- Aircraft Carrier and Carrier Flagship
- Sun Temple and True Sun God
After confirming a new location for the target, the ability is used and goes through a 60 second cooldown.
Supplies
Activating the Supplies ability drops a single crate that rewards $3500 once collected. The crate itself lasts up to 15 seconds before automatically expiring. This ability starts with a 20 second initial cooldown, and has a cooldown of 60 seconds.
Costs and sell values
| Tiers | Cost | Sell value |
|---|---|---|
| 0-4-0 | $12,050 | $8,435 |
| 1-4-0 | $12,650 | $8,855 |
| 2-4-0 | $12,900 | $9,030 |
| 0-4-1 | $12,400 | $8,680 |
| 0-4-2 | $12,650 | $8,855 |
Strategy
This section was last updated for: version 4.13
Support Chinook is very efficient cash generation for its cost and paves way for a method of preventing GG Round 40 if affording Special Poperations soon enough, in addition to stall potential from Downdraft to deal with individual Ceramics, and stall out rounds to get more ability usages. It is vital to take advantage of Chinook for late-game strategies, particularly eco loadouts such as Heli-Ice-Super. Since the nerf in the OTA Update 1 of version 4.13, to actually GG Round 40 would require using the Special Poperations ability enough times or to buy-and-resell already cooled off Chinooks to then cycle through Special Poperations abilities.
Crosspathing doesn't matter much, but 0-4-2 is usually preferred for the faster blowback.

Heli Pilot’s large footprint has been a major limitation on the tower’s viability on a lot of maps, so we hope to open up its viability by reducing its size.

- Footprint size reduced ― 23×23 → 18×18

Heli is quite under utilized on maps that aren’t Bloon Bot Factory. These changes should make it a more viable tower for other maps.

“
The previous changes to Heli Pilot were a bit too much. This change to cash and life production should bring it back in line. The change to the redeploy cooldown will allow more strategies to rely on this ability.
