'''Support Chinook''' is the [[Heli Pilot (Battles 2)|Heli Pilot]]'s path 2 tier 4 [[upgrade]] in ''[[Bloons TD Battles 2]]''. It grants Heli Pilot two new [[Activated Ability|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 ~~and~~ lives.

===Supplies===

Activating the Supplies ability drops a single crate that rewards $~~4000 and 15 lives~~ 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.

Support Chinook is very efficient cash generation for its cost and ~~offers~~ a ~~way to not worry about~~ GG Round 40, in addition to stall potential from [[Downdraft (Battles 2)|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.

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 (Battles 2)|Special Poperations]] soon enough, in addition to stall potential from [[Downdraft (Battles 2)|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.
