Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint is a tactical open-world shooter in which players must complete a series of missions on the sprawling map of the fictional Aurora Archipelago. Like many modern open-world games, Ghost Recon Breakpoint has an impressive map size that even surpasses the huge Bolivia of Ghost Recon Wildlands. A key difference between the two games is that, unlike Bolivia, the Aurora Archipelago consists of islands separated by sometimes vast expanses of water. Therefore, players will likely find that they helicopter much more than in the previous titles.

When it comes to helicopters in Ghost Recon BreakpointThere are several different models available for players to choose from, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. While some helicopters favor speed and maneuverability, others have better armor and more firepower. It all depends on the player’s personal preference as well as the specific mission they want to complete. Some helicopters may be better suited for transport, while others are ideal for attacking large enemy outposts.

5 Overseer

An unarmed and light passenger helicopter

The Overseer is a small transport helicopter ideal for flying between islands or over mountains. Despite its small size, it is surprisingly well armed, carrying two Gatling Guns or twin missiles, either light or heavy. This makes it well suited to attacking smaller enemy bases, and its maneuverability is certainly an advantage that makes up for its weaker armor.

There is also a Mk 2 variant with missiles that lock on to targets. Typically this variant is captured from enemy bases such as the Raven’s Rock outposts. Despite its many advantages, the Overseer remains one of the weaker helicopters in the game.

4 Blacklist

A lightly armed transport helicopter, ideal for short distances

The Blacklist is a special transport helicopter of the 4th Squadron of the Splinter cell Series as part of the The deep state Crossover DLC. Designed with stealth in mind, the Blacklist can fly at low altitudes without much trouble. It also comes equipped with a solid arsenal of weapons, including rocket launchers and a front-mounted cannon.

The helicopter has decent armor and maneuverability, but the limitation of only being able to attack targets directly in front of it puts it at a disadvantage compared to some of the other assault helicopters in the game. Overall, it’s a powerful helicopter and worth a look for players who are particularly interested in the franchise crossover.

3 Gypsy

A well-armed transport helicopter with two miniguns

Inspired by designs such as the Black Hawk UH-60 and NH-90, the Gypsy is primarily a transport helicopter, although it is equipped with a powerful arsenal of missiles and miniguns, allowing it to attack larger enemy settlements and outposts. While it is slower than many of its counterparts in terms of both speed and maneuverability, this is offset by its improved armor and firepower, giving the Gyps almost the feel of a “flying fortress.”

With a carrying capacity of up to six Ghosts, players can transport their entire team anywhere while retaining firepower from the rear of the helicopter, unlike many other models. With more agile handling and a higher top speed, the Gyps would easily outperform any other helicopter in the game, but these limitations mean it won’t be to everyone’s taste.

2 Deinos

A modified Cold War combat helicopter

Inspired by the AH-1 SupaCobra of the Huey family, the Deinos is a fast and highly maneuverable attack helicopter. With its more Cold War-inspired design, it is the rarest helicopter model in the game and is an older version of the technically superior Opheis. Nonetheless, the Deinos is an impressive aircraft with impressive firepower, both from its mounted missiles and its main machine gun.

The Deinos is ideal for attacking enemy convoys, and its balanced weight makes it particularly easy to hover while strafing targets. The helicopter can also reach impressive speeds and withstand quite a lot of damage, especially when compared to other aircraft of a similar size.

1 Opheis

A heavily armored attack helicopter with futuristic weaponry

The Opheis is the modern and improved version of the rarer Deino and as such has a number of advantages over other helicopters in the game. In addition to its strong armor that can withstand significant damage, it is also equipped with two missile pods and a rotating cannon that can fire at enemies from any direction. In addition, it is one of the more manageable helicopters in the game and has a high top speed that matches that of the other fastest aircraft in the game.

There are also several Mk 2 variants in the game. These feature reinforced armor as well as four heavy missiles and a rotating cannon. The missiles, like other Mk 2 variants, can target enemy vehicles and aircraft. Overall, this is the best helicopter in the game when it comes to dealing damage from above while remaining relatively well defended. It can fire from all sides without sacrificing speed and maneuverability.
