Fortnite just introduced an exciting new live event, Fortnite Remix: The Prelude, which brought back its Chapter 2 map. That’s alongside a series of additions both old and new, with content from previous seasons making a return.
But one recurring feature has everyone scratching their heads: the Fortnite helicopter. Or, more accurately, the ‘Choppa’, a drivable (flyable?) vehicle that draws inspiration from Arnie’s famous line from The Predator. “Get to the choppa!”
Is the Fortnite Choppa in the Game or What?!
When the event dropped, certain players were able to find the Choppa and use it to mow down unsuspecting victims. These victims then, naturally, wanted to get revenge and tried to hunt down the elusive vehicle.
But, try as they might, they just couldn’t find it. Why? Well, it turns out that it’s not actually supposed to be available yet. Epic Games accidentally released it early, but it will make a return later.
What is the Fortnite Helicopter Location?
This accidental leak does have one positive: we now know where the choppa is located so you can rush to find it the moment it drops in the game. That will give you an advantage against your opponents. who probably have no idea what’s going on.
You can find the find the helicopter in the south eastern mountain section of the map, at the ‘Weather Station’ location. It’s very much out of the way, so we recommend rushing straight there from the Battle Bus.
What is the Choppa?
The Choppa first arrived in Fortnite during Chapter 2: Season 2 and made a return temporarily during the Remix event.
It has since been vaulted during a hotfix, but is expected to make a return later in the event.
The Choppa has 1,500 HP and deals 70 damage to players with each attack. You can also deal 450 damage to structures.
