If anyone wants to know I used machinegunner class and the MG42. Don't bother with doing the objective, just hang back and wait for a heli (or drone if they exist) to spawn. Hope your teammates can take it out with a rocket or bullets, then just simply shoot at it as it's falling to the ground, that's how I got my achievement! I found that PvE heli/drone support is incredibly rare, I personally think PvP Frontlines is the way to go. Nonetheless, this is very difficult to get, this is my last achievement and I've yet to see a drone that everyone is talking about and these helicopters are not easy to take out lol.Įdit: Yep, I can confirm you can indeed steal heli kills. So I'm wondering if that person "stole" my kill by getting the last hit on it even though I took it out? Could be a reason why the achievement doesn't pop for some. I noticed someone else was shooting at it with a SVD after my rocket hit it and it was spinning to the ground. I took down a blackhawk with a RPG, it crashed and I survived. In a game where a single bullet will normally kill you. As such, be advised, the description of the achievement should actually be 'Destroy an enemy air support vehicle (and don't die before it crashes)'. Here's the key bit though, I can tell you from my experience and at least one other similar account on another site - if you die before the air vehicle crashes, you will not get the achievement. Note I have in fact 'earned' this achievement twice (one shooting down an AH-64 - I have a recording of this, and once on a UH-60).

'Should' being the operative word as these call ins are unfortunately seldom used in comparison to others. The Suicide and Bomber drones (apparently) have lower health and the 200 round belt and ROF of the Minimi should be more than capable of taking these down. You will also have many games where the team doesn't bother using Fire Support (usually with the result being an easy win for you but no attempt at this godforsaken achievement).Īs Security, I would recommend playing Gunner with the FN Minimi. I have also heard engaging with the anti-materiel rifle or MG3 while aiming at rotor blades works, but can't say I've had much success. This is easier said than done however as the choppers normally stay quite far away, will actively dodge rockets, and will kill you very quickly. If you are playing as Insurgents, I would suggest using the demolitionist class as much as possible to shoot down enemy air assets when called in. With this in mind I have had far more opportunity at least to attain this achievement in PvP as fire support is used by players (at least in a fair amount of games). I'm not saying it's not doable in Outpost, but in my experience, it's certainly not 'easier'. and have found no guidance as to what wave, map, or any other specifics that would assist other than 'play outpost'. I've also searched extensively on Reddit, Steam etc. At the moment, this is a whitelist search only, so you'll have to select the countries you want to play in.So I've seen several sources (rather ambiguously) state this is best to do in Outpost PvE mode but at time of writing I have spent easily 10+ hours playing Outpost and have never seen an AI fire support used.

The "Countries" filter allow you to search based on what country we think the server is in. You can also use this to help you locate more regional servers. Most games do not provide ping information via the query protocol, so our "Max Distance" filter should provide you with a good approximation. This is a useful approximation for how low your latency / ping to the server should be. We use a GeoIP database to determine both the server's physical location as well as your location. The "Max Distance" filter allows you to set a limit on how far away the server is from your location. Using the "Players" filter, you can set a minimum or maximum number of players you want the server to have.

These servers are hidden from the server list by default but can appear in your term-specific searches. The "NR" rank means that a server is suspected of botting, inflating, or otherwise distorting its real player count. We do not take player votes or any other factor into account. Ranks are re-caculated daily at 01:00 UTC. We calculate rank based on the amount of time players have spent on the server in the preceding seven (7) days. Server rank is based on the objective popularity of a server. The list includes the server rank, name, player count, location (distance from your computer), and other game-specific information. Below you will find a list of the best / most popular servers in the world.
