  • Buff Overall cost reduced by $5,000 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Buff Laser: Pierce greatly increased ― ??? → 23
  • Buff Plasma machine gun: Pierce greatly increased ― ??? → 11
  • Buff Machine gun: damage increased by 1
  • Buff Machine gun: pierce increased by 1
  • Buff Machine gun: Damage increased ― 3 → 5
  • Buff Missile attack: Explosion damage increased ― 11 → 16
  • Buff Machine gun: Fire rate increased by 25%
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
  • Neutral Lock in Place and Patrol Points no longer immediately prompt to choose target positions and instead have default positions
  • Neutral After changing targeting off of Lock in Place or Patrol Points, changing back returns the target(s) to how it was previously
  • "Heli Pilots should no longer cause save files to not load sometimes" (bug fix)
  • Nerf Overall cost increased by $100 (due to cost changes for previous tiers)
Pursuit Razor Rotors has underperformed due to distancing itself far too much, so we increased the range of this attack slightly.
— Update notes
  • Buff Razor Rotors: area increased ― 33 → 35
Heli Pilot manages on pursuit far too easily without any need to consider Bigger Jets unless camo or downdraft is required. For more crosspath variety than just ‘camo’ we moved more of the base Heli speed out and back into Bigger Jets with an overall buff to Bigger Jets. This should allow Bigger Jets to scale a little better than other helis through early speed ramping.
— Update notes
  • Nerf Movement speed reduced ― 56.25 → 50
5-1-0
  • Nerf Movement speed decreased ― 83.75 → 80
Razor Rotors doesn’t synergize well with it’s own T2 and is kinda the dunce of T3 Helis
— Update notes
  • Buff Razor Rotors blade: damage increased ― 1 → 2
  • Nerf Machine Gun: Damage type changed ― Corrupted damage type functionally identical to NormalEnergy (undocumented) (bug fix)
    • Note: Dart Gun reported to still be Normal or corrupted damage type
Heli’s Razor Rotors don’t scale with higher tiers so improvements have been made specifically to that attack for Dartship & Apache Prime.
— Update notes
  • Buff Rotors: damage increased ― 2 → 8
  • Buff Rotors: pierce increased ― 10 → 40
  • Buff Heli 'patrol point' markers now visually update immediately after setting new points (bug fix)
Even with the map-range advantage, rotors are weak compared to any other constant AoE circle like this.
— Update notes
  • Buff Razor Rotors: attack cooldown reduced ― 0.75s → 0.5s
5-0-2
  • Buff Razor Rotors: now benefits from the faster firing crosspath ― 0.75s → 0.4s
Pursuit will now interact with Patrol Points in a limited ‘pursuit between points’, with this now you will be able to make your pursuit heli stay on one side on multi-path maps without getting stuck in the middle. Razor Rotors is fairly good now, but it could still justify a little more power given the weaknesses of the expensive upgrades that it builds into.
— Update notes
  • Buff Pursuit upgrades the Patrol Points flight pattern to a ‘Pursue Between Points’
  • Buff Razor Rotors rotors: Attack cooldown reduced ― 0.5s → 0.45s
Among technical players we’ve received feedback that the massive range of the Heli’s missiles causes problems with controlling what heli’s choose to attack & when so we’ve reduced the range of these missiles to a more reasonable number, this is still double the range of the Heli so the missiles will continue to fire first before other attacks but not quite from so far away.
— Update notes
  • Neutral Missile: targeting range reduced ― 173 → 84
    • Note: Reducing targeting range of missile will reduce opportunities to waste projectile lifespan on chasing Bloons.
