Off we go! Military aviation has been added to Rust

Facepunch Studios' multiplayer survival simulator continues to develop player capabilities. With the September update, the inhabitants of the servers get at their disposal attack helicopter, parachutes, mongolfier, weapon rack and many other interesting objects. In addition, it became known that now the heroes will no longer die on the edge of the map, and support for Windows 8.1 will soon be discontinued.

Everyone who has accumulated 2250 scrap will be able to get a two-seater helicopter. This is not just a transportation, but a full-fledged combat vehicle, inside which friends will be able to distribute roles. One, for example, will take control, and the other will sit behind the gun and will shoot both conventional ammunition and rockets. The gunner is also able to use flares, if they are in his inventory. The driver also has access to turrets and heat traps, but with a companion in the cockpit he is free to focus only on flying. For the team flying equipment is a serious help in the defense of their base and attacking others. And if you manage to get hit in the sky, nothing prevents you from using a parachute and landing safely.

Those who find it difficult to cope with a war machine, can build a balloon and reinforce it with sheets of armor. Here, by the way, a parachute will also come in handy, because the balloon, like the helicopter, is shot down by the new MANPADS. For storage they can be placed on the weapon racks added to the camp equipment. In addition, the developers have increased the range of visibility of enemy bases up to one and a half kilometers, but gamers are promised that it will not affect the optimization. And who will undertake a long journey and get to the edge of the world, will stay alive - your transport will simply fade into an invisible wall. Finally, it was announced that the game will no longer support the Windows 8.1 operating system - this will happen on October 28.
